Friday's Fancies: The Cozy Side of Fall!

Happy Friday's Fancies everyone! While I haven't had much time for blogging lately, I just couldn't resist participating with Long Distance Loving, since it's all about my favorite season - fall! This truly is a dream outfit for me. Not only is it wayyyyyyyy out of my college girl price range, but it is also wayyyyyy out of Arizona's weather range. It's still in the 100s here! (#whitegirlproblems, I know, but still.)

I'm absolutely OBSESSED with this Donna Karan cashmere poncho. I would love to cozy up to this in real fall weather and simply get lost in its warmth. It looks SO COMFORTABLE. I would definitely pair it with skinny jeggings. They look dressed up enough to wear out, but are still as comfortable as leggings! My bff Twindie swears by these Citizens jeggings - she says they very easily fool people for real skinnies, but are ten times more comfortable. Have to love those Tory riding boots and that ah-mazing Coach watch. Def adding that to the wish list.

So happy Friday's Fancies everyone! Can't wait to check out the other posts!

Friday's Fancies: MAXImizing Summer

I'm so EXCITED that {av} at Long Distance Loving has deemed this week's Friday's Fancies all about the maxi dress/skirt. So UH-BSESSED with this summer trend. I just bought my first maxi - and it's in a lovely cobalt shade like the one from Rag and Bone above - can't wait to wear it!

This outfit is all about being a grown up bohemian, inspired by one of my bffs Twindie,  with bright pops of color to celebrate summer (It's not over yet!). It would be such a cheery ensemble, and I love the funky jewelry. 

Twindie actually just gifted me the amazing House of Harlow necklace - and I couldn't resist including it. She's also a HUGE fan of Tkees sandals and swears by their comfort. The blouse is Equipment since I've been lusting after their fabulous silk blouses. I would def wear it with my sleeves rolled up in the summer heat. The Mulberry bracelets are so beautiful and would continue the hippie chic vibe. And, last but not least, how delicious is that bag?

Happy Friday everyone! How do you wear your maxi skirt? Are you as big of a fan as I am?

Friday's Fancies: The Power LWD

Today's Friday's Fancies, hosted by Long Distance Loving, is all about the LWD, the LBD's spunkier cousin, and for my version I decided to go big or go home. What's more over the top and commanding than a sleek Fendi dress paired with Louboutins and a Birkin? Friday's Fancies is all about dreaming big and this is definitely an outfit I can only afford in the dream world.

My inspiration came from one of my favorite TV shows, Entourage, that begins its final season this weekend. I could definitely imagine one of the strong female characters like Sloan or Mrs. Ari rocking this power outfit while still looking chic and feminine. Plus, LA is probably one of the only locales you can get away with wearing the LWD all year long Hopefully one day I'll be stomping in a pair of Loubs and looking as fierce. Happy Friday, everyone! I'm in Chicago for the weekend, but I cannot wait to check out the other fab looks when I return home!

Friday's Fancies: Intern Chic

 
Today I began my summer internship and fifth internship in my college career. Interning is so motivating to me, since I can see how I'm working toward my future career and love learning new skills and overcoming new challenges. I'm so excited and motivated to be back at work - so today's Friday's Fancies with Long Distance Loving is all about looking like the chicest intern in the office.

My office is more casual, so the clothes aren't that professional (still office appropriate), but the outfit can easily be made more formal by trading in the wedges for black pumps and throwing a blazer over that swoon-worthy Isabel Marant blouse. I also work in a creative industry where hipper clothing is encouraged, so if you work in a more conservative field - I'd probably lose the stud earrings and bright clutch. For me, however, this outfit is fabulous and fitting, and I am lusting after the beautiful, intern-perfect (but not intern budget friendly) items. Happy Friday, everyone, and if you're interning this summer I wish you luck and a very productive summer!

Girl of Summer: Diane Kruger

One of my favorite girls of summer is Diane Kruger. Her style is simply inspiring. Diane always looks effortless, fresh, and chic, and fashionable, yet easygoing. Her style is one that I would love to emulate this summer by incorporating white dresses with crochet details, coral and fuchsia lips, wooden heels, printed dresses, and an overall refined bohemian look into my wardrobe.

Friday's Fancies: Frenchie

For today's Friday's Fancies with Long Distance Loving, I'm continuing my excitement for seeing Midnight in Paris tonight by getting my inspiration from the city of Paris. All of the brands featured are French - and boy, oh boy would I love to get my hands on any of these - but alas the college girl budget will not allow for YSL and Lanvin.

 

I love the black and white combo - especially with the Breton striped shirt.  The ruffled Lanvin skirt is so girly and really offsets the casualness of the stripes and masculine Hermes watch. I'm also loving the sparkles of the Chanel headband (I want this so bad - it's my inner Blair Waldorf) and Chloe clutch - a girl can never have too much glitz.

So, happy Friday Fancie's everyone - here's hoping we can spend the weekend with some wine and macarons, and for those lucky few - a bit of Chanel.

Friday's Fancies: Marrakech Express

I am addicted to reality tv, and one of my soft spots is Bravo reality tv, particularly all of the installments of the Real Housewives (minus DC and Miami - boring). This week, on the Real Housewives of New York City, my old friends Jill, the Countess, Alex, Sonja, etc. (we're all really close) continued their desert adventure a la Sex and the City 2, except in Morocco instead of Abu Dhabi.

While some of the ladies' (ahem Ramona and Cindy) bickering and high school style antics did get old, I was so captivated by the Moroccan landscape and surroundings. What a beautiful country! The ladies absolutely had a trip of a lifetime, venturing into the souk, riding camels, and dining in a luxurious tent in the desert - jealousssss.

via.
The souk in Marrakech features over 40,000 craftsman! My kind of shopping.

So today's Friday's Fancies linkup is inspired by this trip to Morocco and includes my dream outfit for gallivanting across the desert, exploring the souk, and taking in all Morocco has to offer - minus the drama.

Fashion Friday: Wedges With Zhush

One of the many things I adore about summer is that you can wear wedges really any time you want. They can be casual, more dressy, and quite frankly are the only heeled shoe I can manage to walk in.

So for this Fashion Friday, I've decided to share some of my favorite wedges that have a little extra zhush to them. I admit it, I can get very intimidated by wearing color. No stranger to beige, black, grey, and any other neutral, my closet is very monochromatic.

But, in order to help break this color-free wardrobe of mine, I've decided to start small and add some to my feet. I've found some great wedges with that extra pizzaz - a dash of color, metallic, or jewels - baby steps. My friend B owns the Steve Madden ones, and it was love at first sight for me - so I couldn't leave them out. The rest are all new, affordable finds and have been definitely been added to my lust list. Plus, no neutrals dominating my feet.

Happy Friday, and please let me know if you find any more wedges with that extra zhush or how I can start letting color into my life - my wardrobe will thank you.
