Wardrobe Must: The Blazer

Queen Bee — Tue, 22 May 2012 12:47:54 +0000

Everyone needs a blazer in their closet. Blazers are amazingly versatile and complement a variety of looks, whether they be formal or informal.

Besides blouses and dress pants, try pairing it with graphic tees, leather pants, skirts, or sneakers. There are so many fun combinations you can come up with!

Pretty in Pastels

Queen Bee — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 14:39:34 +0000

With Spring just around the corner, it’s no wonder that pastels were all the rage at the Oscars this year. Light colors are fun, happy, and everything dreary old Winter is not.

Olive Another Coat, Please

Queen Bee — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 14:25:13 +0000

I was volunteering at the local Humane Society the other day and, while walking a particularly energetic pup, got into a tug of war with my jacket. Unfortunately, the jacket didn’t make it. With temperatures dropping faster than LiLo’s self-respect, I’ve got to get another one asap.

[Tangent - there is the CUTEST long hair chihuahua at the Boise location right now. She must have just arrived because she isn't on their website yet. I don't know her name, but she's black and white and super friendly. Loves tummy rubs. She's very skinny and needs lots of food and lots of love. Go adopt her!]

For coats, olive green is a great option because it matches well with blacks and browns. And while I’d love a closet full of coats to match all my outfits, that ain’t gonna happen.

Camel (kahki/tan) is another color that blends well with both blacks and browns. Though I’m looking for a lazy, everyday type coat, I’m tempted by this double breasted cape!

Doesn’t that always happen? You start your shopping trip with a particular item in mind and walk out with something totally different. Plus, you still need to get the original item!

Cold Weather Cover Ups

Queen Bee — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 14:10:07 +0000

I don’t know about your area, but it’s starting to get chilly over here! It’s almost time to rummage through my storage for my winter coats. When I moved to the East Coast from California, I hated big winter coats because they completely cover up your outfit. But I’ve since learned that you can find adorable coats that complement your look. No need to go with simple brown or black!

Wish I Was Wearing: Suede Jacket

Queen Bee — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 04:58:07 +0000

Ladies, ladies, ladies. I found this fabulous (faux) suede jacket from Forever 21 for only $30! That’s the cost of a movie date: 2 tickets and some popcorn. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have the jacket!

All Saints

Queen Bee — Mon, 09 May 2011 04:25:46 +0000

I spent the weekend in New York City and discovered All Saints while walking around Soho. Oh my god, I’m obsessed! Seriously, I would happily get a job there and get paid in store credit. Their clothes are rough and gritty, but balanced with gorgeous beadwork and buttery soft leather to give it an overall chic appeal.

Take a look at these clothes and tell me you don’t love them!

Stars and Stripes

Here is the last of my 2010 Christmas gifts to share with you gals -my moto jacket from Mod Cloth courtesy of my wonderful guy who picked it out all by himself! That’s how I know we are soulmates.

I tried and tried, but couldn’t get any more good pictures because of the weather here in DC. It was just too cold and windy!

What was your favorite Christmas gift?

Poetrie

I love looking around for new online boutiques by typing in random search words and I think I just found a ringer. Poetrie sells super cute and very girly clothes and accessories a la Mod Cloth or Lulus.

Boyfriend Blazers

Queen Bee — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 04:07:02 +0000

Trend alert! I’m all about the tomboy chic look and I think boyfriend blazers are a must…at least for me.

From urbanoutfitters.com

To add the “chic” part of the tomboy chic look, be sure to add some girly and feminine details like floral prints, broaches, lace, skirts, etc. I don’t have one of these yet, but if I did, I would pair it with a basic top, fun skirt, tights, and booties.

Look for Less: Chloe

Queen Bee — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 04:59:52 +0000

Everything Chloe makes is gorgeous. And expensive. VERY expensive. I came across this outfit from their pre-fall line and knew it was waaaaaay out of the average student’s budget. But don’t despair! We can search around the web and put together a similar one that is just as adorable.
