STRIPED BELL SLEEVE AND FLATTERING WHITE SKINNIES

I work in the fashion industry and see the constant evolution of trends. It's a swinging door; taking fashion from decades ago and reinventing it with a modern twist. The bell sleeve is the perfect example of this. If your parents or grandparents were around in the 60s and/or 70s, they'll remember the bell sleeve....it's back, baby! 

The top I found from Nordstrom is an understated blue, with gorgeous ruching at the elbows and a three quarter length sleeve. It is flattering for all body types and the fabric is super breathable and soft. It's definitely in the "affordable" category. 

I found these Paige Denim skinnies and immediately added them to my ever-growing Paige collection. A girl can never have too many pairs of white pants; especially if she's as spill-prone as I am. I walked into work the other day and within 10 minutes had a spot on my white skirt....HOW?! Anyway, these jeans are curve hugging and comfy. I love them!

I picked up these shoes a while ago, but have linked a couple of similar pairs for you. The espadrille isn't a trend that I see going anywhere, so these are definitely worth the investment, not that they were through the roof expensive to begin with. It gives a nice contrast to the rest of the outfit.

Call me crazy, but I don't know a single girl who doesn't love a Louis Vuitton bag. If there ever was a time to break the bank and splurge, this would be it. I have taken this bag on date night, grocery shopping, and half way around the world while traveling. It's great to just throw some lip gloss, your keys and phone in and go. It's also helpful when you're carrying a camera around and don't want to bother with a bulky bag. It gives easier access (and is more fashionable) than a backpack. It comes with a cross body strap, which can be removed so you can use this dainty over the shoulder chain.  

Are you on board with the bell sleeve trend? I'd love to see some of your outfit ideas using it. Shoot me an email or comment below. As always, thanks for stopping by!

KNOT FRONT TIE TOP, DISTRESSED DENIM, NUDE WEDGES

KNOT TOP Bloomingdale's | DENIM Paige | WEDGES Target | RING Cartier

Three words to describe this outfit: trendy, casual, comfortable. I work long hours and spend a lot of time driving to and from the office, so on weekends, I want to just "veg," as my mother calls it. I want to be a couch potato and not put a ton of thought into anything, especially an outfit. I work in fashion, which means I cannot afford to ever look disheveled walking into our corporate headquarters. I usually plan my outfits for the week out on Sunday depending on the 5-day forecast and tweak as needed. When Saturday morning comes, athleisure is my go-to. Moving right along....this outfit takes the thought process out of looking put together and bows and tie tops are on trend right now. I'd call that a "win-win."

These cropped skinny Paige Verdugo jeans are slimming and have just the right amount of distress. There's enough stretch so that they move with you, and hug in all the right places. I will never get tired of saying how much I love Paige Denim; I've even turned people at work on to them.

As I said before, bows and tie tops are big this season; shirts like this one are great for work, play, or even a day-date. The material is soft, it's easy to steam and I get compliments on it every time I wear it.

I love to mix high and low end. These wedges are the balance in my outfit. They are super affordable and I don't see them going out of style any time soon. If your feet kill you after an hour in heels or, if you're (like me) and not the most coordinated person, then, wedges will be your best friend. These wedges are cushioned, and because they are nude, they can be matched with anything and they have an elongating effect on the leg if worn with shorts or a dress. What's better than that?!

What are some of your favorite high and low end pieces to mix?! Shoot me and email and or let me know in the comments below. As always, thanks for stopping by!
