Remix Round-Up: Snakeskin Three Ways

It’s finally Friday, and I am one happy girl. I’ve also gone and rounded up the last few days of outfits, each based entirely around the sky-high Steve Madden snakeskin Caryssa heels, to see which look is your favorite. Do tell!

I like each one—although maybe the first one is my favorite—but I think all of the outfits could be tweaked just a tad. So, if I could go back and revise, here’s what I would do:

Outfit #1 Add a a statement necklace or two.

Outfit #2: Tuck in the chambray shirt, add a bunch of layered chunky bracelets and maybe a pair of simple earrings.

Outfit #3: Unzip the sweatshirt and layer my striped trapeze top under the lace shirt for a little extra dimension and flair

On another note, what do you guys think of animal print? Do you have a favorite kind? Snakeskin over leopard? What about Zebra? (All faux of course!) Happy Friday!

P.S. I would like to wish my very dear friend Amanda, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! xoxo

My Outfit: I’ll Be In The Sky

So far this week, you’ve seen these shoes styled up with lace and stripes, with chambray and studs, and now this: a very dressed down ensemble, which involves a sweatshirt and cigarette pants. I worked in the lace top once again, which seems to go with everything. Thank you again, ModCloth!

I like the juxtaposition of the casual sweatshirt material against the girly white lace peeking out, coupled with beatnik slim black pants and Wayfares. (One day I will own a real pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers.) These heels may be sky-high and pretty snazzy all around, but I think they blend quite well with this look. Thoughts?

My Outfit: Studs and Snakeskin

Since the print of these shoes makes quite a statement—seeing that they are five inches high with a gold platform—I decided to see how many different ways I could wear them. Yesterday I chose to dress them up with lace, but today, I wanted to see if I could style them with a bit of a more rocker edge. What will tomorrow’s remix be? We shall see.

remix challenge: railroad boyfriend jeans

Happy Thursday! So, the remix challenge: I wanted to keep it fairly simple, and to make sure each outfit was realistic and attainable. For instance, I stuck with the same sunglasses, belt (for 2 out of 3 of the outfits), shoes and of course, jeans, only switching up the tops to change the feel of each outfit. Bottom line: I wanted to show how you can really work with what you already have in your closet but still create diverse and interesting ensembles.

Now tell me…which one is your favorite? xoxo

sneak peak: remix challenge!

Lately, I have been loving what the Gap has to offer. Plus, they usually have great sales. Case in point: I recently picked up these cute Pleated Railroad Jeans for about $24. I loved them so much I decided to conduct a mini remix challenge for myself. After-all, it’s been some time since I did a serious remix, so I played around in my closet for a bit and came up with three looks. I will be posting them later today, so stay tuned!

St. Thomas: Ferrying We Go!

Tuesday, we set off to explore St. John’s, which is a mere 20 minute ferry ride from St. Thomas. With sunny skies and a light breeze, all I have to say it was pretty heavenly to be outdoors on a boat. It’s been a while and I never take it for granted when it happens. Anyway, we enjoyed our day by exploring the shops, wandering the winding streets, and eating a yummy lunch at a little cafe not far from the ferry landing.

Fellow ferry riders enjoying the boat ride.

The largest palm there ever was.

Unaware of the camera, but still in disbelief at the largeness of said palm.

Mmmm…that’s what you were doing over there…

After returning to our island, I went down to the pool and swam around as the sun began to set, which was really relaxing and peaceful. Then later that evening, I made us yummy orange white wine spritzers, which I have to say were very tasty and refreshing. We finished up the night at a restaurant in Red Hook where I got the pulled pork sandwich. Messy, but oh so good.

Outfit of the evening. This is my splurge dress, remember?! Check out the other ways I’ve worn/remixed it, here, here and here!

I have to say I was pretty happy with how my hair turned out, and was glad that I brought along my favorite Coach heels. To me, they make any outfit feel chic because of their pretty buttery color and of course because of their nice, high heel.

Yes, this is what happened to my face after taking my first bite. Extremely attractive, don’t you think? : )

My Outfit: Playing In the Closet

Happy, happy Thursday! First off, I would like to wish my dear friend Jenni, of Daily Work It, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I am donning my dancing shoes later this evening to help her celebrate her special night, but before that, I have an amazing Josie Natori event that I am attending with my friend Audrey. I plan on taking copious amounts of photos and promise to share all the lovely details with you tomorrow, but in the meantime, I have to figure out what in the heck to wear! Here is one option that I am considering, although I do feel that this tunic miiight be a tad short. (Remember this outfit, plus this remix round up from back in the fall?) I do know however, that I am going to be rocking my brand new Coach heels (LOVE), and some serious cat eyes. I will keep you posted on the final ensemble! xoxo

Outfit Remix: One Shirt, Three Ways…Black and White Gingham

One gingham shirt, three different ways.

(The best part? It’s a mens shirt that was on sale for $10 at the Gap!)

Version #1: Meetings and such.

First look of the day, wearing my new gingham shirt that I got over the weekend. Wore this outfit to a meeting this morning. (I promise to divulge all the details super soon, I promise!) It was comfy and I felt put together, without looking too fussy or overly-primped.

Version #2: Knockin’ about the house

Second look of the day. I actually didn’t wear this outfit out of the house (besides to photograph it) or in public, but I just love my Target jeans and the cross-and tuck-look with this shirt so much, I knew I had to take a photo of it. Plan on wearing this combination soon, though.

***The trick to the cross-and-tuck shirt technique is to wear a thin tank underneath, that way you don’t have to worry about pinning or taping the shirt! I am wearing my gray racerback tank from American Apparel.***

Version #3: Celebration dinner!

As you all know my Godmother is in town and we went out to celebrate her Birthday tonight. I took her to Diablo Royale where we had yummy margs (mine was spicy mango!), salty chips and tasty fish tacos. YUM. I haven’t worn my sky blue jeans from Cheap Monday all that much this winter, so I thought it was time to bring ’em out of hiding. (For those who are wondering, the white dots are snow!)
