Inspired Style // Lace Love

Happy Friday my dears!

We're getting lacy, lacy on this week's Friday's Fancies. I love lace but sometimes feel it can be too sweet. That's why I like to look for lace with bold patterns, not always floral. And I pair it with edgier pieces like black pants and jean jacket. I must admit though, my favorite part of this outfit might just be the accessories: lucite wedge heels...are. you. kidding. me. And a rose gold + white Marc Jacobs watch, well not much needs to be said there! ;)

Which do you prefer lace paired with: feminine details or edgy chic?

Don't forget dolls, a few more days to enter my current giveaway including a monogram cup sleeve, paper straws and a tutu brooch!

And next week, another giveaway!!

Yayy! I seriously love this so much.

happy weekend

Inspired Style // Snow Chic

I love the snow! ...as long as I'm snuggled inside by the fire :) I did survive 6 Chicago winters but honestly I gave up cold-weather badge when I moved to the sunny shores of the Mediterranean. The weather here in the South lately has been unseasonably warm, but that hasn't kept me of dreaming of a Friday's Fancies outfit ready for snow-covered mountains! Dressing for winter is my favorite, the warm layers and rich textures, cozy sweaters and Sorel boots. (I still don't own a pair, totally on my list!)

What's your favorite season to dress for?

hope you have a lovely weekend

Inspired Style // Black + White

This week's Friday's Fancies is all about black and white style. The first thing I think of is stripes! I find that I'm consistently reaching for this chic combo because it's so easy. And I still feel classic and classy. The key to sprucing up this simple duo of colors is to add lots of accessories that compliment not compete. In my styled outfit, I chose small pops of royal blue, leopard and gold....the perfect accents. 

Do you wear black + white or is it too boring for your personal style?

How do you jazz it up?

hope you have a fabulous weekend! 

see ya back here next week for some fun love inspired posts

Inspired Style // Fall Treats

She's a smart cookie, that {av}! When she suggested that we create outfits for Friday's Fancies based on our favorite fall treats, I knew I was in. So this week's style is inspired not by home decor or fashion on the streets...nope, it's inspired by yummy delicious sweets from our kitchen. I'm telling ya, inspiration is everywhere. Rich caramel sauces and candy apple red translate perfectly from desserts to warm cozy knits. And a white watch inspired by cool whip...hello!

Happy weekend dear ones!

Can you believe Thanksgiving is next week?

I certainly have so much to be thankful for

style inspired // monochromatic

If done well, monochromatic is sophisticated and chic. I think varying the tones, creating depth with texture, and adding a pop with an accent color are the keys to keeping it classy. 

Here's my dream monochromatic outfit based on neutral navy, 

including soft velvet and pops of brown and gold.

have a blessed Fall weekend my dears!

gosh, I love this time of year

style inspired // black & white bedroom

Happy 2nd week of September! Temperatures have cooled down a bit here in the South, especially at night. It's slowly but surely starting to feel like Fall! Isn't it fabulous?

Today, I'm starting a new series called Style Inspired. You may remember the posts that I've done in the past where I translate rooms into an outfit. While I definitely draw fashion inspiration from interior design, I realized that inspiration really is all around! So those posts are transitioning into the Style Inspired series. I'm so excited to kick it off with one of my favorite color combinations, black and white. These week's inspiration comes from this gorgeous black and white bedroom. The cool clean lines with just a touch of edgy sophistication from the black walls. Love it.

And even more inspiration from Pinterest!

Here's a look at the outfit I styled based on the bedroom above
