The Blanket Scarf

Friday, March 20, 2015

Oh, how I love blanket scarves. This cozy Boohoo number is tres chic! I wore it like a cape for today's OOTD, but you can style it so many different ways. Here's a fab article for you guys - lots of inspo for sure: 20 Style Tips On How To Wear Blanket Scarves from +Gurl.com. My favorites are numbers 2, 7, and 11 - I couldn't just pick one! What do you guys think?

My outfit sans scarf! I'm wearing my favorite faux-leather skirt today. I absolutely LOVE the zippers and asymmetrical hem - clicky here to pick one up for yourself. IMO, leather skirts are a wardrobe must-have. They seriously look good with everything. Try styling one with a chambray top or a colorful blouse!

Look for Less: House of Harlow 1960 Chelsea Sunglasses

Thursday, March 19, 2015

YAY! It's time for another "Look for Less". I absolutely LOVE sharing these posts. I'm definitely going to do more of them in the future - perhaps on a weekly basis. Anywho, for today's post I featured House of Harlow's stunning Chelsea sunnies. Celebs like Miley Cyrus and Nicole Ritchie have been spotted wearing these trendy shades (pictured below).

These photos are obviously not mine, haha!

Here's a close-up for you guys! Don't these sunnies ooze hollywood glamour? *swoons* These shades are amazing...and pricey ($138 to be exact), BUT I found an amazing alternative for y'all because I'm so "sensible", haha.

TA-DA! These fab cat-eyes are available at +FREYRS for $9.95 HERE. Now, I'm no mathematician but $138 vs $10? Yeah. Serious winning goin' on for sure. Trust me when I say Freyrs is on point - their sunglasses seriously don't disappoint. I legit LOVE every pair they send me. Designer quality for a FRACTION of the price? I think yes.

FYI: I own these personally... like all the other picks I present to y'all in my "Look for Less" & "Find of the Day" series'. I would never recommend something I didn't love myself. Please let me know if you guys have any questions by commenting below, tweeting me, whatever. I'm pretty much active on every social media platform so I'm easy to get in touch with *smiles*
