Yay - Bloggers Do It Better is finally back! I love these challenges for 2 reasons: 1) it pushes you to search for a new outfit combo & 2) I love seeing what other style bloggers come up with! This week's challenge: Mint & Coral.

I've been wearing this Zara hi-low mint skirt over and over and over again (My hubby & co-workers must be sick of it!) But I had yet to pair it with a bright color like coral. Enter my favorite sequin sweater (well one of them at least) I thought I would "summer" it up with some cognac heeled sandals and a topknot. What do you think?

Outfit Post: BDIB - Animal Print

When Kristina over at Pretty Shiny Sparkly finally posted a new BDIB challenge I was so thrilled with the theme - animal print! I'm super into leopard right now {along with every other fashionable gal out there!) and I knew I already was already set with an outfit post from the summer. However today marked the first official day of cooler weather in the LA area and I for one couldn't wait to pull out a sweater I scored a few weeks ago that's totally crazy and amazing at the same time. Let's dive into my look shall we....

Outfit Post: BDIB - Arm Party

It's time for another edition of Bloggers Do It Better! I skipped the last one because I had already done a maxi post since I already selected my hot pink maxi skirt for the Neons & Neutrals post. I wasn't about to miss the latest one! This week was more of a mini-challenge instead of an actual full outfit post. But it's one of my favorite "excess"ory choices right now - A Stacked Arm. If you're a blogger, blog comb-er or magazine reader you know just how major this trend is right now. I personally love it and my theory is "If someone doesn't ask you about your arm full of bangles - you don't have enough" :) So here are my latest picks for the Arm Party challenge:

I think my OPI That's Hot! Pink nail polish makes the shiny jewelry stand out even more

Outfit Post: My First One!

As I write this I am so extremely nervous about posting it! But I figure since I give so much advice about styling and ideas for outfits that I should really own up to my own words and show you readers what I wear... So here's my first real outfit post for BAD!

I have been dreaming of this Jil Sander look ever since I saw it go down the runway last fall. I loved the hot pink skirt [and lips]. Pairing it with a white tee was genius. I was determined to recreate this look but put my own little spin on it. And so here it is:

Skirt: Zara, White Tee: Target, Belt: Express Bag: Deux Lux, Jewelry - Watch: ASOS, Bangles: Express, Forever21, H&M, SillyBandz, Necklaces: My Own, Forever21, Lips: CoverGirl Spellbound

I know that the lighting isn't the greatest. We've been having terrible June Gloom [more than usual] weather lately and I'm using my small digital camera. I looooovvve this skirt. It was a one size fits all so until I can get it hemmed and taken in I need to wear a belt to keep it up :) I'm participating in the Bloggers Do It Better series and this week's challenge is "Neons & Neutrals" I tried to keep the rest of the look in the neutral area so that the skirt could stand out. But I had to add a little sparkle with my Express elastic belt :) I'm also wearing my favorite Sole Society wedges - The Libby

A "Stacked Arm" - My favorite new way to wear accessories

What do you guys think of my look? As nervous as I am to start outfit posts, I am excited to be challenged by the BDIB series and hopefully I will get used to snapping and posting pictures. Stay tuned for more looks and I hope that you feel inspired to switch up your wardrobe! xoxo!
