Spring Pastel: Pale Pink Moto Jacket + Oxford Shirt + Floral Pumps

Hello there! It's been almost two months but, I'm finally back. Today's post will be the last time you see me wearing a moto jacket-as the heat here in Texas is already climbing steadily towards the triple digits. By the way, I started an Instagram account if you're interested :) @style_and_cappuccino Hope to see you all there!!

Stylish-Classic-Fabulous: Sweater & Pencil Skirt

Hi there!! Please excuse my upcoming absence. I will be gone for a while after this post as my face is still swollen after a dental visit last weekend (these photos were taken prior). I definitely look like chipmunk as of late. My face is getting smaller and smaller every day, but I know that it will take at least two weeks for my face to get back to normal (It happened once before so I know the timetable). Anyway, the outfit post today is about dressing up a sweater. By pairing this somewhat brash "Stylish-Classic-Fabulous" graphic cropped sweater, with a leather skirt and leopard pumps, I was able to pull off a refined ensemble. Once again these amazing pieces have shown their innate ability to elevate any outfit. Thank you for visiting!

Hey everyone! If you are looking for an outfit idea for this upcoming Valentine's Day to replace a traditional dress, you are in luck. I created day & nighttime looks if you have been searching for something that is a little outside the box. Both of these outfits have something in common; a statement piece, which is the timeless "pencil skirt" and both have just the perfect amount of red to really embody this romantic occasion. I hope everyone has a lovely Valentine's Day weekend, and just remember to feel just as beautiful as you all are no matter what you are wearing. ^_^

Basic: Oxford Shirt + Leather Pants + Leopard Pumps

Hello everyone! Today's outfit has all the basic closet essentials; an oxford shirt, leather pants, and of course, leopard pumps. I felt like wearing them all together so here you go, a truly "basic" outfit.These leopard pumps are the newest addition to my shoe collection. I have been searching for the perfect leopard pumps forever (pattern, heel height, and price are my main criteria) and I had my eyes on these J.Crew Elsie Calf Hair, in Leopard for months. Until last November I scoured countless websites until (during the Black Friday sale), I stumbled across reviews on other fashion blogs (Easy Petite Looks and Extra Petite) about these gorgeous pumps; I decided to buy them, and you know what-no regrets! They are really good shoes, and the fact that I got them on sale, just makes it even better. ^_~  Hope everyone has a great rest of the week

Borrowed from the boy: Boyfriend Jeans & Boyfriend Blazer

I've been wearing this plaid shirt a lot lately (since I love it so much). The plaid shirt is a very versatile, but oftentimes overlooked closet must have; you can wear by itself, (like this) throw a sweater over it, (like this ) or tie it around your waist. These are just a few of the options out there, just discover your own creative touch-and in no time you can stretch your closet one outfit at a time. ^_^

Cobalt & Grey: Belted Cocoon Coat & Cobalt Pumps

I wore this Heathered double-sleeve cocoon coat (it is currently sold out both in US and Canada) as a dress for this outfit post in order to change it up a bit. Since the coat has a loose fit, I was forced to belt it, otherwise it will just look like I'm wearing a sack of potatoes...lol. This coat is so very versatile; it gives any outfit a feel of being effortlessly put together. The other day I was in a rush, so wore it as a coat over a simple sweater and jeans. Not only did it keep me toasty warm all day long-I actually got a lot of compliments! Hope you have a great week!!

   

 

Winter White: Layered sweater over white shirt & White Jean + Trench Coat

Hello everyone!!! Hope you all had a great New Year's Eve, and have a good start on your next 365 day-journey. My husband and I had so much fun just hanging out at home by the fire, and watched all the Holiday movies we love during our long weekend off. (Boy does time fly when you are having fun!) :) Today's post is a simple all-white layered look with a trench coat. Layering is a must during the winter time (believe it or not even if you live in Texas) and I do love layering. If you are scared of looking thicker than you actually are, just play around with it. Not all looks benefit from layering, it takes a bit of practice to get to know what works and what does not on your body so do not give up! Have a great week, and welcome to 2015 ^_^
