My Style: A Modern Twist

Today's Look:  is a modern twist on the old classic, a pair of blue jeans and a white shirt.  The combination of a white top with a pair of blue jeans will forever be in style, but the individual pieces themselves have changed throughout the decades.  The blue jeans have become lower-cut and bedazzled while the shirts are continuously evolving.  Starting out, I picked a faded pair of dark blue skinny jeans and an off-white crochet, embellished top. To match the color and metal on the top, I wore tarnished gold earrings, an off-white bracelet, and two rings.  Finishing off the look the look, I wore brown leather boots with my fringe suede purse. 

Outfit Details:  Shirt by Staring at Stars at Urban Outfitters, Jeans by Levi's at Macy's,  Bracelet and Earrings at Target, Boots by OTBT, Purse by Steve Madden at Nordstrom.

Fashion Tip:   When in doubt or in a rush, a white blouse with a pair of blue jeans is always a solid choice.  

Favorite Stores in Flagstaff

Live in or visiting Flagstaff?  Here is a list of my favorite stores in Flagstaff that every girl should know and love!

Name:  Old Town Shops

Address:  120 N Leroux St, Flagstaff, AZ 86001

Growing up in Arizona, my family and I visit Flagstaff all the time.  Every time we are in town, I make sure to go downtown to my favorite Old Town Shops which include three of my favorite Flagstaff stores:  Basement Marketplace, P.J. Chilcottage, and Black Hound Gallerie.  

Name: Basement Marketplace 

Style:  Hipster, Grunge, Glamour 

Sells:  Clothes, Jewelry, Bags, Shoes, Scarfs, etc.

I fell in love with Basement Marketplace the second I found it.  Its unique location (underneath the Old Town Shops) and setup create a one-of-a-kind shopping experience.  The young, lively staff are always nice and say hello to every customer.  The store carries such a wide variety of style I can always find items that add to my closet.  I definitely recommend the Basement Marketplace!

Name:  P.J. Chilcottage

Style:  Feminine, Classy, Preppy, Fun

Sells:  Clothes, Accessories, Cards, Soap, etc.

P.J. Chilcottage is a bright, happy store that has the most adorable merchandise.  The clothes are feminine, fun, and great quality with reasonable prices.  The selection of apparel covers two walls of the store, but every time I come back it seems to keep expanding.  The store also sells an array of necklaces, earrings, belts, purses, cards, soaps, pajamas, and a bunch of other things girls love.   P.J. Chilcottage is a definite must-stop.

Name:  Black Hound Gallerie
Style:  Funky, Punk, Retro
Sells:  Clothes, Books, Accessories, Souvenirs

Black Hound Gallerie is a lot different from the other two stores.  The other two stores are aimed towards females only, but this store has merchandise for girls and boys.  Not only do they sell clothes, but they also sell accessories, books, posters, gag-gifts, mugs, etc.  The store almost reminds me of a classier Spencer's. It is always fun to shop at Black Hound, because the environment is entertaining and the employees are friendly.

Name:  Shoes & Such Boutique 

Address:  17 East Aspen Ave, Flagstaff, Arizona 86001

Style:  Feminine, Classy, Current

Sells:  Clothes, Accessories, Shoes, etc.

My fourth favorite store, which happens to be right around the corner from The Old Town Shops, is Shoes & Such Boutique!  I couldn't have been more thrilled when I found this store.  I dragged my whole family in with me once I saw the window display.  The employees are happy and helpful, while the merchandise is adorable and reasonably priced.  They have a great selection of up-to-date styles, an abundance of accessories including jewelry, scarves, bags, hats, etc., and an awesome array of shoes.  I can't wait to go back to Shoes & Such Boutique!

My Style: Neon Pink

Today's Look:  is all about having fun with bright colors.  The outfit is designed specifically around the dress. The dress has pink, purple, blue, yellow, orange, green, white, and black on it.  My favorite color is pink, so I chose to wear a neon pink long-sleeved shirt to make the pink in the dress pop. Since the weather here is still chilly at nighttime, I wore opaque black tights and military boots to complete the look.

Outfit Details:  Dress by H&M, Shirt by PINK at Victoria's Secret, Tights by Merona at Target, Boots by Steve Madden, Purse by Betsey Johnson, Ring at Charming Charlies. 

Fashion Tip:  When wearing a short, girly dress, you should also wear military boots.  Adding military boots to a flirty dress makes a unique, fun outfit.

My Style: Southwest Flare

Today's Look:  is all about the warm, chic Southwest-inspired sweater.  For a chilly evening out, I wanted to wear something warm, but not bulky.  My long, thick sweater was the perfect choice.  To match the light tan color in the design and fringe of the sweater, I wore my Betsey Johnson ankle boots and a suede purse. Completing the outfit, I wore charcoal skinny-jeans, a black tank top, and a silver, sparkly pendant necklace.  

Outfit Details:  Sweater by American Eagle at ae.com, Jeans by Express at express.com, Boots by Betsey Johnson at 6pm.com, Purse by St. John's Bay, Necklace at Buckle.  

Fashion Tip:  When wearing a thick, warm sweater, try pairing the piece with sleek skinny-jeans and leather boots. The look will not only be rich and classy, but also warm and functional.  

My Style: A Touch of Turquoise

Today's Look:  is thanks to my favorite local stores, Clothes Hound and Foot Fetish.  I wore a layered off-white, loose t-shirt, simple, dark-blue jeans, pair of brown, leather ankle boots, turquoise velvet purse, and a multicolored beaded necklace.  The purse is my favorite part of this outfit.  The Chanel inspired design and brightly colored material makes the bag a one-of-a-kind. The turquoise purse matches the turquoise beads in the necklace, adding a pop of color.  

Outfit Details:  Shirt by Ya Los Angeles at Foot Fetish, Jeans by Levi's at Macy's, Boots by Splendid at Clothes Hound, Purse by Nila Anthony at Clothes Hound.  

Fashion Tip:  A touch of turquoise is a must this season.
