Bomber Jackets and Pencil Skirts

Happy Tuesday! I have not been posting too many blogs lately, nor done much with my blog since the holidays so I have much to share with you! I hope everyones new year is going well and that you have all set some wonderful goals to accomplish this year! Do not be hard on yourself, start little and go from there. Little can be much!

Today I am sharing some fun items from the site Make Me Chic. Lately I have been wearing so much black! I dont know if I am in mourning or if the continual grey weather is affecting me but that has been my trend lately. My eye was drawn to this skirt when I saw it becasue I knew I could wear it many different ways. My oldest daughter is convinced it is a shirt, so she gave me a few good laughs when I tried to convince her otherwise. I found the black crop top from a store called Gabes when visiting my sister in West Virginia. It is a great store that carries name brands for cheaper prices. Pretty sure my definition of an amazing time. Now if only they would serve cupcakes! :)

The bomber jacket is definitely me stepping out of my norm. If you know me, florals are my go to. So for me to pick out an all black outfit with a jacket, one would think I went a little cray cray. The material was really thick and was a comfortable jacket. Im a nothern girl, born and raised in New York so I have to represent. You can shop the looks by clicking any of the pictures as well as items listed below. I also linked some of my favorite leopard heels! Have a great Tuesday!

Lace up and Chokers

Happy Friday! Is anyone else as excited as me that it is the weekend? The weather here in New York is pretty crummy with rain and grey skies. Perfect day for watching movies and catching g up on household chores I have been putting off.

Today we are talking about lace up and chokers! To be totally honest when I first saw this shirt I did not like it at all! I did not think the fit would look good on me and collars are not usually my thing. After looking at it again a few times I figured I would give it a try because I really am loving the lace up trend right now.

When I paired this outfit together I actually fell in love with it! The shirt is so soft and comfortable. It does not have a stiff feel to it, unlike some other collared shirts. I love how the criss cross detail is large on the shirt making it more of a bold statement. I am all for bold statements. I tend to shy away from them most of the time, but I always love when I see other people and bloggers making bold moves. I think I should take some lessons from them sometime!

This top is from Shop BellaC . Right now they are having a sale sitewide, 50% off everything. How amazing is that?? They have some really cute clothes so take advantage of this sale while it lasts. Use code YAY50K at checkout.

That’s all for today! Anyone have any fun plans this weekend? I would love to hear!

XOXO,

Brianna

Baton Rouge Style

In June the family and I went on vacation to the deep, deep south of Lousiana. It was hot, humid, and wonderful. We see my sister and her family about once a year so I always look forward to the beginning of summer when I know our trip is planned. My sister is a newborn photograpger in Baton Rouge so I asked her if she would be willing to snap a few pics for me. Of course she said yes, and you can easily see she has an eye for creativity because she made me look like a professional when I had no clue what I was doing. The work of a great artist!

This dress I found online at Forever21 was such a great find because it can be so versitile. I chose to style it with a few necklaces and lace up heels for an easy summer feel.
