ellelauri Romper

ellelauri Romper

I'm sure we can all agree the best thing about rompers is the effortlessness that comes with wearing them. When you find one that fits, all you have to do is throw it on and your look is complete.

That is true for this romper given to me from the boutique I work at. It is made of silk which gives it a polished look that you can achieve with little effort. I love the stripes. they are very city chic to me.

I finished the look with black pointed ankle boots, silver bracelets, and a studded leather wrap bracelet for an edgy night-out-on-the-town look.

Casual Oxfords

Casual Oxfords

I managed to score these vampy wine

 hued oxfords during a great sale

 at Lord and Taylor's

...and I am definitely obsessed!

For a casual look I paired the shoes 

with some blue jeans and a sweater. 

I kept the colors neutral to help 

the shoes and fuzzy purse charm pop.

P.S. the shoes did gave me a horrible blister and shooting this post was so painful :( but they are worth the pain!

Winter is here and so begins the layering.  
I kept the colors neutral so the 
pink scarf could have all the attention.
It kept me nice and warm along with the 
faux fur lined jacket I picked up at an 
after Christmas sale!

Florals&Leather

Florals&Leather

Due to sever heat outside and polar like cold inside 

(ALL my classes have the AC on full blast!) 

I have to carefully plan at my outfits when I have class.

Hence my wearing a jacket when it's 85°.

I originally planned on wearing a flowy white tank top with this but it needed ironing and I was already late. Instead a went for this floral top and I like the way it works with the shorts.

The shorts have a sporty look to them, the side has a 

retro basketball shorts feel. They're mesh like with a leather texture. An unexpected pair like that and I'm all in. 

I spotted these in PacSun last year while on a day trip and I had to have them. There are just so many ways to style them.( I may to a post on that bc I really like them!

To keep warm I added this green jacket I've had for awhile. I got it on sale at Target.

It's light weight enough that I wasn't too hot outside and I think it really ties the outfit together nicely.

The bag is just the one I'm currently using bc it is big enough to hold my usual purse thins and school stuff. but i like how it compliments my shirt and jacket.

Finally, for shoes my trusty, go-to, beat up Converse. Plus I couldn't pass up a chance to wear them with my "retro leather basketball shorts".

Leather | Velvet

Leather | Velvet

Ready or not the hot weather is here and its time to show a little bit of skin.

I was thrilled to finally be able to wear these velvet shorts that I scored ON SALE in like the beginning of winter. I've worn them before throughout the winter with stockings or long socks but having the velvet texture in the spring/summer is a nice twist. Honestly, that is why I bought them hahha. To keep with the "unexpected texture" I paired it with my leather top from the "Recent Buys" post. Since I was going to lunch with my mom and I didn't want to be showing too much skin I threw on an over-sized denim  jacket.

For me summer means I get to be more adventurous with my outfits. I'm not sure why but once it gets warm I feel so inspired and daring to try anything -style wise. 

So make a vow to yourself this summer to try new looks you've had your eye on and let me know how it goes. Show me some of you're favorite looks!

This was a small shoot with my sister while we were in a cute little town not too far from us. It was sooo windy and we were by the water so the temp was much lower than I anticipated. Thank God for this oversized denim jacket I picked up at Zara's for a steal( IT WAS ONLY $20!!) it kept me soo warm.
