My Style: Bohemian Rhapsody

Today's Look: was taken in beautiful Old Town Scottsdale on a humid, 102 degree afternoon.  Yes, I wilted.  Literally.  Northern Arizona is not nearly as hot as "The Valley" during the summer months, so I'm not acclimated to real heat.  Lucky for me, I received a lovely embellished chevron striped romper from Charlotte Russe that was perfect for a warm summer day. To give a more bohemian styling, which you know I love, I added a soft, extra-long jersey cardigan from SirenLondon.  SirenLondon is an e-retailer with headquarters located in Warwickshire, England.  Specializing in indie, vintage-style, hand-selected clothing,  they have an eye for trends and a great selection of what's current.  I definitely recommend checking them out!  To add more boho flare, I selected a pretty gold and black beaded hair-jewelry clip by artist Semira Mustafic, creator of Hair Floaters, black sling-back booties, various artistic rings, gold earrings, and a cuff bracelet.  Hope you're all staying cool this summer.  Xoxo, Shelly

Fashion Tip:  Long, black cardigans have a super power of being not only a stylish piece in any closet, but also being very flattering to a woman's curves.  I had been looking for one for awhile when I found this beauty.  The Long Tall Whisper Cardigan from SirenLondon could not be more perfect!

My Style: Polka Dots & Chevron

Today's Look:  is all about a flirty, dotted chevron shift dress made of micro-satin.  Spring is definitely the season to wear fun dresses that flow, swirl, and attract.  This little gem is the perfect spring staple.  To complement the black polka-dotted, chevron print, I styled the dress with a black belt that has sparkly crystal embellishments.  The shoes are my one indulgent purchase for this photo shoot; how can a girl resist block heel sandals with ankle straps?  Literally impossible!  Besides feminine, flirty dresses and strappy sandals, spring is represented to me by two types of flowers--tulips and daffodils.  If you look carefully, you can see some of them peeking out in the background.  I couldn't resist showing off how beautiful the neighborhood looks in my recent photoshoots.  I hope you’re loving the season whatever it may be for you right now :) Xoxo, Shelly

My Style: Walk Like an Egyptian

Today's Look:  emphasizes the bright gold of an Egyptian-motif top and edgy, shredded skinny jeans.  First, I chose the sweatshirt for light warmth on a sunny winter day and black jeans.  Next, I chose black, strappy cut-out ankle boots, and gold rimmed aviators.  Finishing off the look and to bring attention to the gold detailing on the top, I wore a gold watch, gold bedazzled bracelet, two gold rings, and gold pyramid-shaped earrings.

My Style: White Christmas

Today's Look:  creates bold contrast using the most famous opposites, black and white.  It was a chilly, overcast day, so I first chose a peacoat with white and gold detailing.  The coat is soft and cozy, along with being flattering and feminine.  Next, I chose black jeggings, black socks, and black ankle boots featuring a buckle embellishment.  To accessorize, I chose white/gold bracelet, gold bedazzled watch, gold hoop earrings, black/gold funky sunglasses (cat-eye frame with gold rimmed circular lenses), and two rings.  Last but not least, I wore an oversized, black purse to match the boots and complete the look.

Fashion Tip:  Peacoats are great for the fall and winter seasons.  The styles and colors can range from looking hipster to chic.  A white peacoat is always classy and stands out.

My Style: Femme Fatale

Today's Look:  is all about being feminine yet fierce.  This outfit contrasts a dark black top, clean white skinny jeans, and bold gold flourishes.   To start the look off, I chose the long-sleeve, black top featuring the words "FEMME FATALE, LOVE POTION N◦9."  For those who don't know, the term femme fatale refers to an old literature/art archetype known for being a mysterious, desirable woman who seduces men into dangerous and sometimes deadly situations.  Obviously, I don't think of myself as a femme fatale, but it sure is fun to rock the edgy top.  To match the top, I chose tall, heeled boots that have a fierce black-with-gold-buckle design.  Since the top and boots make a sexy pair, I wanted light pants to contrast and add a special pop to the outfit.  I chose white skinny jeans.  To add a touch of the wild side, I wore a  gold necklace with a bedazzled, jaguar pendant.  Finishing off the look, I wore two gold and black bracelets, two rings, and black, stud earrings

Fashion Tip:  Tall heeled boots are a sexy fall essential.  They work great with skinny jeans, scarves, and peacoats.

My Style: Never Growing Up

Today's Look:  is tomboy chic, featuring leopard-print, platform boots and a baggy beanie.  In honor of one my favorite tomboys, Avril Lavigne, I titled this post after her hit song "Here's to Never Growing Up."  To start the look off, I chose the shoes.  These shoes are crazy wild and I absolutely love them for their unique cut and sexy animal print.  Next, I chose light blue, skinny jeans and a flowy, black top.  I liked how the light blue acted as a complimentary color with the tans, oranges, black, and browns of the shoe.  To match the coloring of the shoes, I chose a baggy, beige beanie to add casual hipster into the mix.  Finishing off the look, I wore an over-sized, black purse, a cross pendant necklace, a studded bracelet, and two rings.
