My Style: Champagne for Breakfast


Today's Look:  is all about mixing comfort with style.  Nothing beats a comfy sweatshirt, a pair of stretch leggings, and cushioned wedge sneakers for walking around campus or shopping in the city.  For spring 2014, colors are exploding in nature and on the runways.  Be bold and confident with your styling like this whimsical sweatshirt that boasts of "Champagne for Breakfast."  Besides sweatshirts, leggings are ideal for spring days in northern Arizona, where we are loving the breezy, cool days with the blooming flowers and budding trees everywhere.  Tribal print is still one of the biggest hits this season, so these leggings are perfect.  Next, I recommend trying to match your shoes with your purse as much as possible for a cohesive look; here my tan/taupe wedges match the fringe bag.  If you don't own a bohemian-inspired fringe purse yet, you haven't lived. haha  Speaking of boho style, most of us living in the states dream of attending Coachella and mingling with the famous stars and models, listening to hipster music, and wearing our 60's & 70's inspired clothing.  Thus, a fringe purse is a styling must :)  If you get to attend Coachella this year, I'd love to hear about it.  I'd go just to hear Ellie Goulding, Lana Del Rey, Foster the People, and Lorde.  What an amazing line up!

Fashion Tip: As stated above, trying to match your purse with your shoes can add a "put-together" appeal to your ensemble.  Of course, plenty of times my purse and shoes don't match because I try to have the purse highlight a different color from my outfit.  C'est la vie!

My Style: All Around the World


Today's Look: is all about how to dress fashionably and comfortably while traveling.  Sitting, sleeping, and walking are activities to expect while traveling, so wearing soft, loose items is practical.  To start the look off, I chose a black top featuring a tiger (my favorite animal).  The top is a soft, cotton material with a loose fit. Next, I chose the hip "jogger" pants.  Lately, "jogger" pants have been making a major statement in street style.  They can be worn causally or dressed up (often times with strappy heels).  For me, I like to wear the pants casually since they are a baggy, comfortable fit.  For traveling with ease, a cute carry-on is essential.  I suggest an oversized purse or backpack.  I love backpacks.  I know some people think they aren't cool, but whatever.  I dig 'em.  I especially love this faux-leather backpack.  The black material and stud detailing make a potentially nerdy thing edgy and chic.  My travel essentials include my iPhone, charger, chapstick, water bottle, sweater, earbuds, and sunglasses--all items easy to fit into my bag.  Finishing off the look, I wore a beanie to cover potential bedhead from dozing, sunglasses to hide lack of makeup, a necklace for glam factor, and plaid Vans for comfort and style.

Fashion Tip:  Adding patterned or colored shoes to a low-key outfit really helps pump up the volume.

My Style: Moccasins and Stripes


Today's Look:  is all about being casual and comfortable.  I haven't worn moccasins in years, but today I decided to wear my newest pair.  To go along with the casual and comfy theme, I chose to wear a pair of simple, light-blue jeans and an over-sized lace shirt.  The shirt has peach stripes, so I wore peach colored bow earrings to match.  Since the moccasins have dark brown on them, the dark brown necklace fit well with the outfit.

Fashion Tip:  When shopping for moccasins, try to find moccasins that aren't shortened in the front   I like the original, regular length moccasins.  Not only do they look better on, original moccasins are also warmer.
