black, white, and a little bold

It's Monday once again so that means another post from me. Today, I'm back with an outfit post. This is a look I put together for church. I wanted to be fashionable, but obviously appropriate for church. So this is what I came up with. Shall we have a closer look?

I must say that this print is sort of kind of amazing. There's nothing really unique going on, but I'm all about it. It's black and white (if you don't know already I'm crazy about that combo), but it has little pops of color throughout. The fact that there are flowers just makes me love it even more. I am a girly girl after all. Oh, and the sweetheart neckline is so flattering and well sweet. In fact this is such a sweet little dress.

I decided to add a cardigan, you know to keep things as modest as possible. And sometimes churches can be cold (at least mine is). I put my hair back in a ponytail to keep things easy. I don't really like to spend a lot of time on my hair, even though I end up doing so sometimes. 

I wore black wedges which I've had for the longest time. Really digging the peep toe action. I'm also wearing an ankle bracelet. I'm obsessed with wearing that bad boy.

The jewelry here is kind of major. Just the way I like it. I piled on a ton of black and white bracelets. The more the merrier for me. I'm also wearing my signature rings with a black statement ring mixed in.

All in all, I really like this look. It's simple, easy, and comfortable. I felt good in it and its totally church-approved.

Thanks for reading...

Celebrity Style Crush: Jessica Alba

Welcome to my blog and welcome to a new segment called Celebrity Style Crush. In these posts, I'm going to be sharing some of my celebrity style icons. A celebrity whose style and I love and whose closet I would want to raid. My first celebrity style crush is Jessica Alba. I chose her for a few reasons. One, I think she is absolutely beautiful. Two, I'm in love with her style. It just seems so effortless, but she always look so polished and put together. Her style is similar to mine. I would love to steal everything in her closet. Let's take a look at some her best street style moments in my opinion.

I'm in love with this look. I love how simple and basic the pieces are, but when paired together, they look anything but. I love the flower pattern on the blazer mixed with the blue pants. I love the black stripe because it's unexpected. She's wearing minimal jewelry, black heels, and her hair is in a messy ponytail. I think she looks effortlessly chic. 

I really like the coral and turquoise mixed together. I also like how she keep everything else in the outfit neutral. Added a scarf to this look makes it transitional to the colder months. Again, she looks polished and put together, but she doesn't look like she's trying too hard.

This happens to be my favorite Jessica Alba look. I'm in love with the patterned pants and her hair looks incredible. I love the way she pairs her separates and the leather blazer is to die for. I also like that she kept her shoes neutral and didn't over style it with bold accessories. The baby blue and black color combo is so pretty. Plus, I'm really digging the black and white bag.

This is a look that is very casual but still fashionable. This makes me want to go out and buy boyfriend jeans, pair it with a baggy sweater, flats and wrap a scarf around my neck asap. 

I was never really a fan of mixing girly pieces with really tough ones, but after seeing this look. I'm a believer. I love the mixing of the two and I think Jessica did it perfectly. 

There she goes again with printed pants and a leather jacket. I love the look and it totally works. What's most unique about this look though is the shoes. I love how she wore a shoe that was a bright color. It really brings out the blue in the pants. I totally want to copy this look.

There's really not much to say about this look other than the fact that I love it. I love the neutral color palette. I really think Jessica is the queen of pairing together basic pieces and making them look so good.

I want to own every piece of this outfit. From the blazer, the jeans, the strappy shoes, and even that floral bag. Jessica scores again for her ability to look so good without looking like she tried too hard.

Here's another winner. I'm obsessed with denim, so I love this denim jacket paired with this polka dot dress. This is such a perfect little outfit. I especially love the sky high wedges and the black and white purse. I think she looks so darling, tasteful, and cute here. 

I'm not sure if a white t-shirt ever looked so good. This basic top looks amazing paired with a printed blazer, jeans, and minimalist white shoes. There is nothing bad to say about this entire look. This is a woman who knows how to dress and how to do it well.

I'm such a fan of the way Jessica Alba dresses. It's never over done or over styled. Just simple pieces put together to make an amazing look. To me, she always looks beautiful and her style  is totally up my alley. That's why Jessica Alba is my celebrity style crush.

Which celebrity is your style crush and why? I would love to know!

Thanks for reading and until next time...

girly lace

Happy Friday and welcome back to my blog. Today's outfit by far is my favorite one that I've posted. It truly embodies who I am and my personality. I think this outfit is girly and fun and so cute. I'm in love. Let's get the deets.

Besides black and white, another one of my fave color combos is white and coral. It screams summer and it just looks fresh and clean. One word, perfect. So putting together this look was easy. I knew I wanted a girly casual look, perfect for a summer day. Mission accomplished if I do say so myself.

This skirt is truly everything. I love the color, the cut, the lace. I love everything. Jewelry here is not really dramatic. Just a few white bracelets mixed with gold bangles. I even wore two gold rings that my mom gave me. This is a big deal because gold really isn't my thing, but I'm all for trying something new.

I added a turquoise camisole to add a little more color to the look. Again, with the white shirt, it just looks so good to me. Loving this color combo. Mix in some simple gold sandals (you've seen these before) and I'm done.

I can't say enough how much I love this whole look. I'm not sure if its the hair (which was still curled from my last outfit post) or the skirt or what. I just don't know but I'm obsessed with everything. I felt so good and I think I looked pretty good as well. I'm not fishing for compliments I swear.

Oh and what are you guys doing this weekend? I'm going to a football game scrimmage today. I'm excited to spend time with my family and also see my new baby cousin who is just so yummy. I talked a little about him here.

Until next time, have a great weekend!
