Blake Lively | 10 Best

Blake Lively, an all American girl.

I've been obsessed since her Serena Van Der Woodsen days on Gossip Girl. I could go on and on with her fashion but that would take forever, she always seems to look amazing. With Anna Wintour and Karl Lagerfeld being fans of this blonde babe that says it all. If I could choose a celeb who is always on top its definitely Blake. 

Here's my top 10.  

10. Shirt and Pants, Emanuel Ungaro. Shoes, Christian Louboutin. 

Printed pants with ruffling detail on the side still look so flattering on Blake's slim and slender body. 

9. In Anthony Vaccarello. 

Anna Dello Russo donned this ensemb' in a shorter version, but the longer piece is just as amaze. 

8. RED, SPARKLES & GUCCI. 

7. Dress, Marios Schwab. Shoes, Giuseppe Zanetti. 

She glowed in this green skirt. 

 

6. Dress, Chanel. Shoes, Christian Louboutin. 

5. Again she dons and perfects Chanel and Louboutin heels. 

4. C & C.

Chanel and Christian. 

3. Love this Marchesa dress. She can definitely work a mini. 

2. Michael Kors and Christian Louboutin.

I've figured it out, red is her color.

1. Blake shined in this dress. She looked so glamorous, like she just stepped out a time machine with this retro look. The hair, the red lips and this Zuhair Murad gown looked amazing on her. 

Whether its a mini showing off those gorgeous legs, a gown, suits and laid back looks, Blake has showed she is A list.

Chilly Saturday Nights | What I wore

Saturday night and my date is with Saratoga and my beau. 

Limoncello Restaurant is a must. If your ever in the area you don't want to miss out.

The cold weather came up on us Northerners within a flash so to keep warm this fall/winter layering is major. If your worried about it adding lb's always start with a fitted tee/tank, a knit top over it and then your coat. The trick is to belt it, show that waist! I love the cold for this reason, each layer gets cuter. 

What I wore:

Asymmetrical Sweater Top: Express, here.

Ankle Jeans: Also Express. 

Shoes: Zara. Last season/sold out.

(If your looking to splurge Christian Louboutin has a style just like this. )

Scarf: Aldo Accessories

Also my favorite Michael Kors bag.

Sweatshirts | Fashion

Who said sweatshirts couldn't be fashionable? 

It all depends on what you pair it with, but this season it seems like sportswear has made a comeback. 

Take a look at some that may just change your mind. 

At H&M.

Forever 21

J.Crew

And if you want to splurge, like I want to ..

No 21 here.

AR SRPLS here.

Whether your pairing this comforting piece with cropped pants, skinny's or a skirt it will work. 

Throw on a statement piece of jewelry to dress it up or a button up underneath. Any type of shoe will also work. I love it with an oxford style or a heel.  

Please do not match this with Uggs and call it fashion forward. 

The sweatshirt is so versatile you can mix and match so many different looks.

If your going :

Chic- I'd pair it with skinny black cropped pants, a black heel, an amazing necklace and my hair in a bun.

On the go- Leather or pleated skirt with flat boots. I love.

Edgy- Black skinny's or plaid pants (that I'm currently obsessed with) and a combat boot with a leather jacket. 

Sporty- FITTED sweatpants or jeans with sneakers. 

Have fun with it. 

That's what fashion is.

Denim & Tuxedo Pants | What I wore today

I wore the same thing twice, guilty! Well not technically, just mixed my favorite Denim button up with something else. You can't go wrong with mixing denim with anything. Its been my staple piece for a laid back yet polished look. 

Today I was having one of those days where nothing looked good, until I put that denim piece on and then everything just seemed right. 

So Im sorry in advance for double dipping. 

The tuxedo pant gave the denim button up a little bit more chicness to it. 

What I wore.

Denim Shirt. H&M

Tuxedo Pant. Bebe

Shoes. Zara

Purse. Michael Kors

Sunglasses. Gucci

Riding Boot | Short Boot

Say goodbye to the riding boot.

Short boots are taking the reign and showing the world just how versatile they can be. They can be worn with full circled skirts, pleats, every possible dress, the "mullet" look, leggings and everything else. Besides all of that you can mix it up with a rocker look with leather or more chic with stockings and a dress. Create illusions and show your socks plus elongate your legs! So have fun this season with so many different styles. 

Here's a look. 

My staple boot of the season are these

Leather Ankle Boot from my favorite retailer, ZARA.

Also from ZARA these Block heel boot.

They're great as shown with black skinny's, leather and playful skirts. 

All Saints always show a chic rock and roll look. It is always my staple go to place for a short boot. 

The Jules Heeled Biker Boot is great. I have them from last season although mine are missing the heel but it still gives you that effect. It does have a rounder front which always give you a more rocker look. *Keep that in mind*

They always seem to show such a polished look. I love it. 

Jules Bike Boot.

Michael Kors

 

                      

MK brings the luxe metal and they're all my favorites! 

These I need. 

For a girl on the go, choose a platform or sneaker wedge. 

Forever 21

Aldo Shoes

You get the point. The short boot gives you many styles and many more looks you can create. 

I'm very excited for the crisp weather just for this reason. 

Remember if you don't like the short boot, then try something over the knee. Also a very hot trend this fall. 

Hope this was a good tip for your go to style this season.

Coat Season | Trend List

Coat season is back! The crisp air is here and believe it or not your coat plays a big part in your wardrobe especially to us northerners. Your coat is your shield and although your "real" outfit is under the jacket, remember your jacket is one of the first pieces people notice. So take this as an excuse, I would splurge just a little bit. 

I usually buy more than one. Something casual, something sporty, something dressy and of course black. 

Here's a list of this years hottest trends for coats. Your going to love them all. Im still deciding.

If you love pink and can't get enough of it, than this season is it for you.
Think in Pink  at TOPSHOP.

This is from TopShop also. It falls under candy colored and fluffy coats but I love it. 

SOMETHING CASUAL 

With black pants/leggings and flats or riding boots. You need something a little bit more casual. Love the puffer look because it can always go both ways and always looks chic with heels also.
At Mango.

I heart ZARA. Always on point. 

Which trend is your favorite? 

I love the Leather. It will always go with a rocker look or a more chic ensemble. Its perfect.
