My Style: Neutrals & Denim

T

he beauty of neutrals can be appreciated when enjoying natural surroundings.  Although I love deep burgundies and blacks, I am opening up to some lighter colors as spring approaches.  For my third #CharlotteLook (head-to-toe Charlotte Russe outfit), I styled a soft, over-sized, high-low sweater with shredded jeans that I rolled at the ankle, and the prettiest, distressed brown booties.  To accentuate the boots' gold accents, I added a gold bag and gold cross pendant necklace.  As I said in my previous post, I'm trying to experiment more with my hairstyles and had fun with a half top knot.  I'd love to hear what hairstyles you are liking for winter going into spring.  Have a wonderful Friday.  TGIF!  Xoxo, Shelly

Arizona Girl Looks of 2014

What a fantastic, exhilarating year 2014 turned out to be.  First, I want to say thank you to all of my wonderful readers who leave kind comments and appreciate my posts.  If I can inspire women and men to be bolder, more confident, and willing to try new trends, then I've made a small difference.  Next, I am so thankful for the special events and amazing collaborations this year.  This was a year of many first-time events.  I was published in print for the first time in Marie Claire's April 2014 issue. I enjoyed my first music festival at Osheaga in Montreal, Canada, with Garage Clothing.  Getting decked out from head to toe in Armani, I attended my first Beverly Hills gala at Teen Vogue’s Young Hollywood’s Party.  One more first was making a People’s Choice video with a wonderful film crew and director. Last but not least this year, I am thankful for doing well in my graphic design studies.  Yesterday, I received my acceptance into the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts at Arizona State University.  The graphic design program is well respected and I’m excited to be challenged and learn more.  Well, to celebrate the year, I thought it might be fun to do a recap of my outfits styled in 2014.  Most of all, I wish for you a fabulous 2015 full of health, success, and love. Xoxo, Shelly

My Style: Holiday Spirit

School is out and winter break is officially here.  You know what that means...so many blog posts, so little time!  For this look I wore a fab shift dress featuring edgy cutouts with a cool leatherette jacket complete with a mock sweatshirt attached - great for achieving the layered look while avoiding bulkiness.  Since winter is in full swing here in northern Arizona, finding the perfect winter accessories is a must; these patterned tights from silkes.com are perfect along with the cozy beanie and heeled booties.  I also had so much fun wearing the fashion glasses; see my review below.  If you aren't done with your holiday shopping or you need the cutest outfit for a festive party, check out fevrie and use the 25% discount code below.  I love getting discounts for my readers--Merry early Christmas and Happy Holidays!  Xoxo, Shelly

Firmoo Eyeglass Review: Although I do not need prescription glasses, I always jump at the opportunity to try a new accessory.  I enjoyed looking through all the options on firmoo.com.  The website is very user friendly, meaning easy to navigate, quality product photos, and honest blogger & customer reviews.  In addition to the online experience, the shipping is fast and the packaging is nice.  My pair of glasses came with a sturdy case, handy little screwdriver, and lens cloth.  The frames themselves are of great quality for an affordable price.  From my experience, I definitely recommend firmoo.com!  :)

My Style: Permanent December

Winter is here to stay in northern Arizona.  Brrrrrrrr!  To keep warm, I'm super loving these opaque tights from Wolford.  Talk about quality and unique designs; I chose the "Zip Tights" that have an ornamental zipper design down the back of each leg.  Besides the comfy tights, I'm wearing a beautiful black and white dress with sheer inserts from emmajoy.  I added a black faux leather jacket, a large cross pendant, a favorite shoulder bag, and luscious red hair extensions along with brown bang extensions.  Put on some pretty rings, including my new favorite ring from Jane Basch, and a silver bracelet and I was ready to go out for a night on the town with my friends and family.  I wore this outfit for dinner at a new local Thai food restaurant called Tara--BEST food ever!  Now, I'm headed into final exams this week--wish me luck!  Xoxo, Shelly
