Julie Brown Designs

Business Casual FTW!  Today's look is totally work-friendly... at least in my opinion, ha!  This beautiful Julie Brown dress is stunning to say the least.  The material = high quality with a print that just won't quit.  The orange trim is also a lovely touch!  Bold pops of color always add character and personality.  
Anywho, have you guys ever heard of Julie Brown?  Her designs are all SO sophisticated!  FYI:  she actually launched her first collection in 2001.  Before going solo, she worked for retailers like Ralph Lauren and Anne Klein.  For those of you interested, you guys can shop her designs HERE...
Oh, and sorry for the weird smile!  I was having a really hard time posing because my mouth was full of metal, ha!  I have to use a retainer for the next few weeks so if my smile's off you guys know what's up.  ANYWHO, back to fashion!  I accessorized with an adorable white crossbody (from Deb) and solid statement earrings from Charlotte Russe to keep my look clean and polished.

Lorraine Tyne Jewelry

SUPER excited to officially blast my first post with Lorraine Tyne! They asked me to style their back-to-school lookbook a while back *pumps fists* I'm can't wait to show you guys all my looks.

I love the way it complements my neckline...

The Fringe Kimono

I feel so asian sporting this fringe kimono, HA!  Ok, all jokes aside, I'm lovin' all my new swag.  I centered today's outfit around my new faux-leather skater skirt from Deb.  I'm a big fan of faux-leather, I'm not gonna lie - looks BAMF with anything.  It's a perfect way to play around with texture.
I paired the skirt with a fun cage crop (also from Deb).  I seriously can't recommend the top enough. I featured it way back in the day, but I still wear it often.  It's actually on sale HERE for only $5 so get on that STAT.  Also available in white, black and blue.
My kimono's from Charlotte Russe BTW!  They have a huge selection of different styles available so make sure to clicky HERE.  I guarantee that you'll find something that you absolutely LOVE.  Isn't the fringe totes adorable?  How do you guys feel about kimonos?  Are they a do or a dont?
