Study Break

Pause... I'm feeling a little overwhelmed...

As some of your may know, or have noticed, I try to blog everyday and at the very least 4-5 days a week! Although I never take a break from fashion, I may be taking some time off from blogging for the next few weeks. 

1 look, 3 ways.

Today we are putting your wardrobe to work by creating 3 different looks at out 1 core outfit!

with school, work, internships and presentations I have been a busy busy bee lately! On monday (when I wore this look) I started my day working at kate spade, then rushed to school for a presentation and ended with my night classes. I didn't have time to change between these events, so I had to transform the outfit I wearing! Today, I will teach you how to do the same so you can take your look from work to weekend and back again.

Before we get started, take a look at the key pieces I used in all three looks...

Rain or Shine

These next two looks will help you create a weather proof look for either rain or shine!

 this posts will show how to convert one item (the kate spade wynne dress) for any element mother nature chooses to throw at you! Tomorrow we will walk on sunshine, but today we're singing in the rain with our wet weather look!

So lets get started by taking a look at how I used these pieces to weather the storm...

vroom, vroom.

happy monday! for today's marketing monday, lets look one of my favorite spring campaigns

Prada's super fun spring 2012 line is inspired by classic cars! take a peak at some of the campaign images

Hello Yellow

nothing says "hello, i'm here, notice me" like a little bit of yellow.

today I was bold and bright in statement jewelry, pops of color, bold prints and a little bit of yellow. here's how I wore it...

Pink Sparkle

What girl doesn't love lipstick pink ? especially when enhanced with a dash of sparkle? ooh la la.

I used these pieces to create a look combines the best of both worlds: girlie and edgy ... flirty and glam.

layering love.

Surprise surprise, another layering look, I started with these pieces...

and transformed them into...

Walking On Sunshine

Nothing brightens up a day like yellow and white stripes!

So today, I dressed down my sunshine skirt for a beautifully bold look, check it out...

Color Changes Everything

Welcome back to another Marketing Monday, Meet today's target Company!

That's right, today, we're tackling another Marketing Master: Target! As we look at their newest campaigns for 2012, take a peak...

tea attire

A few weeks back I went to the cutest little tea shop in ghirardelli square: crown and crumpet

see more crown&crumpet pictures at my party planning blog: hopelesshostess

so of course I had to dress for the occasion and I used these pieces to do so!

when combined, these pieces made the perfect tea attire, take a peak...

Scrabble Anyone?

Happy National Scrabble Day!

Today is national scrabble day, which is celebrated annually on the birthday of Alfred Mosher Butts, an architect who created the game in the 1930's! So of course I am celebrating in a few ways: 1) a wordy outfit, 2) the introduction of my new etsy shop and 3) scrabble inspired diy crafts!

girls who wear pearls

women usually either love or hate pearls, but I personally love to be dripping in pretty girly pearls! 

so this outfit is centered around pretty statement pearls! take a peak and how I wore them.

Watermelon Stripes

fun fact: I love watermelon, how it looks how it tastes and the fun colors!

so for this look I paired watermelon colors with statement jewelry and lots of layering!

April is Hopping

Being the marketing junkie I am, I have decided to launch a new segment... Marketing Monday! Where I will feature a new colorful ad campaign or newsworthy marketing action each week!

for this first post were focusing on the new and improved jcpenney!

before we dive in, lets take a peak at the newest jcp commercial for april!

prints and pearls

My looks have been a little over the top lately, so this one is a more simple, sophisticated and somewhat retro inspired look.

A little bit of leopard can go a long way, so sometimes its best to keep it minimal. But that doesn't mean you have to be boring! Pick a theme, an era or an icon and channel it with your leopard. I choose the fifties (surprise, surprise) took on a mad men inspired look. check it out...

Spotted with a chance of shine

Whether you are headed to work, or out for a night on the town, polka dots and pops of color will help get you spotted. But before we get started, lets see what pieces we were working with...

This outfit is a little bit of everything: bright colors, bolt prints, a chic blazer and fun bangles all while playing with proportions! but how do they all work together? let me show you!

Katy's Komeback

The secrets out... I love Katy Perry ... and her new teen vouge cover!

Simply Sublime

You don't have to have a big wardrobe to dress fabulously! In fact even though I am a bit of a clothes hoarder (who are we kidding, I have a problem...) I get the best use out of some of my few favorite pieces! You can too, and the post is the proof! I'll be sharing with you one of my closet favorites!

Okay here's the scoop on this skirt...

a double dose of dots

There's no pattern like polka dots!

dance class

One and Two and Cha Cha Cha.

Lets dance our way from the holiday season all the way into Spring, with a remixed school-girl-style look.

Polka dots straddle the line between fun and chic, so everyone needs some dots in their world and wardrobe!
