My Style: Chicwish x Arizona Girl

Dreamy is the word that comes to mind when you put on this Chicwish mild baroque embroidered dress in ivory and a pair of over-the-knee, lace up boots.  I am so impressed with the quality and the fit of the dress.  I recently just graduated and I had been searching for the ideal dresses for celebratory  gatherings and the ceremony itself.  When this dress (and another one I will showcase soon) arrived, I knew I had found the perfect special occasion dresses.  For all girls looking for the perfect party dresses, I definitely recommend checking out Chicwish.  I do have to say to go by the measurements that are stated on their website( and not by your usual size) because they are right on.  :) 

Also, at photoshoots lately I have been playing the most addicting playlist and I have received requests for the song list.  I added the playlist to the top of my blog to share with all of you as well!  I am in love with the new, the up-and-coming, and the ones that deserve to be remembered again.  Xoxo, Shelly

My Style: Effortlessly Chic

This month I was honored to collaborate with some top-notch brands, including Viparo, TFNC London, and Veeshee.  First, I began this styling with a gorgeous gold, soft-as-butter leather skirt by Viparo.  The quality of the stitching, the design, and the lining is unsurpassed.  Viparo was founded in Sydney, Australia, in 2008, filling a niche with beautiful leather designs that are affordable.  Next, I added this TFNC monochromatic, baroque print blouse, making an exquisite combination when coupled with the leather skirt.  TFNC London is known for its glamorous, sophisticated designs, especially in dresses.  I discovered this pretty blouse and knew it would be a great addition to my closet.  Adding tall boots, a floppy hat, and tarnished gold jewelry, I was ready for a perfect weekend getaway.  See my review below of the marvelous weekender bag, a custom-made beauty by Veeshee.  I hope you enjoy discovering these quality items as much as I did!  Xoxo, Shelly

Veeshee Review:

Being a frequent traveler, it's always nice to have a bag you can count on and one you know looks good with every outfit (hey, for a true fashionista, that always matters--even when traveling).  This handsome tote is that bag!  Veeshee is a unique company that offers the opportunity for the customer to customize bags, pillows, and blankets with luxurious leathers, quality linens, and beautiful craftsmanship.  Below is the custom layout for my bag.  On the user-friendly website, you can select the cut of the bag, the color of leather, the outer material, and the lining. For my Tuscany Weekender, I chose the black linen for the exterior, the copper metallic linen for the interior (seriously gorgeous metallic), and the dark brown distressed leather for the base and straps.  I absolutely love my bag and will enjoy it for many, many years.  I give Veeshee an A+!  Definitely recommend checking out Veeshee here:  http://www.veeshee.com

               

               

My Style: Bell Sleeves

After a couple weeks of snow showers and cold winds, northern Arizona was blessed with a beautiful weekend.  The perfect weather was great for my second #CharlotteLook (head-to-toe Charlotte Russe outfit) of January!  The scarf-print romper with bell sleeves paired with the over-the-knee boots make a lovely combination.  After searching for black, over-the-knee boots for some time, I was stoked when I found this pair.  They are so comfortable and look like real leather.  I love how the intricate design of the romper really stands out against the monochromatic accessories.  Also, I had fun trying a new hairstyle.  I loosely curled my hair to create a beach wave effect and simply added 4 small braids throughout.  As you can tell, I am still loving edgy bohemian style!  I hope the warm weather is here to stay soon.  Anyway, I'm off to study for a quiz and finish up some other homework.  Hope you're all having a great weekend!  Xoxo, Shelly
