How to Style Fringe Jackets

Being a lover of bohemian style, I adore fringe jackets - well really fringe anything.  I teamed up with blogger babe Esmirna Tapia of Platforms for Breakfast to show our adored readers two different ways of rocking fringe jackets.  I chose a beachy festival vibe since warm weather is here, and summer is right around the corner.  I styled my heather gray jacket with a halter-topped lace dress, delicate beaded sandals, and a wide-brimmed black hat.  A statement necklace, colorful tribal print purse, and cool sunnies completed the ensemble.  Esmirna, one of my lovely fellow Teen Vogue Fashion Click bloggers, chose to show a stylish white-on-white fringe jacket and skinny jeans along with strappy heels and a striped top. Whether you're a chic city girl or a free-spirited boho babe, fringe jackets are a wardrobe must.  I would love to hear how you rock your fringe in the comments.  Xoxo, Shelly

My Style: Sedona's Oak Creek

Sedona, Arizona, is one of the most beautiful places on earth.  Surrounded by red rock cliffs, crimson-colored monoliths, sycamore groves, and the clear waters of Oak Creek, Sedona offers everything from adventurous hikes, jeep tours, and kayaking to exquisite art, dining, and resorts.  Spring weather has definitely reached this lovely part of northern Arizona, so I decided to try out my new fibi & clo embellished sandals--simply gorgeous!  I was happy when the Style Director Nancy Weaver reached out to collaborate.  Check out more about the fabulous shoe and accessory company here and shop till you drop here.  I added crochet-trimmed, distressed-denim shorts, a high-low, Z-Supply acid-washed tee, and a rustic, straw cowboy hat to make this perfect casual outfit.  To complete the styling, I wore a mesh and stone necklace, stud earrings, and some tarnished metal rings.  After an excellent Spring Break, I'm trying to get my mindset back into classes and work more on my portfolio.  Have a great weekend! Xoxo, Shelly

My Style: You Can't Make Up With Us

Today's Look:  celebrates being sassy and having fun with it.  The “You Can’t Make Up With Us” crop top is perfect with the shredded, tie-dyed cutoffs, plaid shirt, and gladiator platform sandals.  The look was great for a casual day of exploring and relaxing.  I accessorized with a chevron print backpack, layered bracelet, and bohemian-inspired rings.  I love the clash of the backpack's design with the plaid - it's unexpected yet somehow pleasing.  I packed a comfy blanket, some of favorite new makeup essentials, including a mirror/screen protector on my phone (seriously so handy), and my new book, Bloom: A Girl's Guide to Growing Up Gorgeous to catch up on beauty tips and tricks.  On my downtime, I love reading fashion magazines and beauty books to stay current and gain inspiration; this book specifically has some great ideas and beautiful photos.  Days of relaxation and meditation are even more important now that school is back in session.  Always try to remember to treat yourself to some "me" time, because you deserve it and you're worth it.  Xoxo, Shelly
