Outfit Post: Valentine's Date Night

Valentine's Day is almost here and it's time to celebrate! I'm collaborating with The Nicki Minaj collection to show you a few outfits that you can wear while celebrating this day of love with the many people in your life. Valentine's Day should just be about the person you're in love with, but also those special friends and family around you too! First up, let's talk about a date night look!

Nicki Minaj "Ultra Suede Mini Dress" in wine

Boohoo "Billie" block heel sandal c/o

GiGi New York "All In One" clutch c/o

Michael Kors "Bradshaw" watch

J.Crew classic pave link bracelet

Moon & Lola Eden charm bracelet (gifted)

I have to be honest - I'm not normally a tight clothing wearing kind of gal. But when I saw this faux suede wine colored mini dress, I instantly got 90's nostalgia and wanted to rock it like the girl of Beverly Hills 90210. (Psssst it also comes in black!) Which is why I am also grateful for the 3/4 length sleeves. For me, when wearing something more body-conscious, it's important to keep things low key. Neutral accessories (this clutch is my serious go to) along with minimal jewelry keeps everything put together, sexy and not too over the top. 

Speaking of simple, I'm loving these block heels from Boohoo! I think every gal should have several types of nude colored shoes in her closet and the thick heel on these sandals make them oh-so-comfy. Plus I'm digging the glittering of gold from the heel. 

What's your favorite thing to wear during a Valentine's Day date night? Do you go ultra sexy or more laid back? I want to know! Happy Wednesday loves! 

Outfit Post: Jumpsuit Lovin'

Remember when I talked about this lattice cut out halter jumpsuit on my My Carolina Today segment? Well, the truth is, I basically haven't taken it off since then. I've worn it dressed up and casually (aka the perfect vacay item) and I swear if I could wear it to work, workout in and sleep, I would! It is SO comfy. Which is why I thought it was the perfect choice for my first night of #SBScon!

Shoemint "Miller" mules (on sale too!)

Zero UV aviators

Michael Kors "Bradshaw" watch

I'll admit - sometimes I dance to the beat of a different drum when it comes to my outfits. I'm experimental and I wear things because I like them, not necessarily because I want other people to like them (though I love hearing that they do!) This outfit is kind of one of those times.

I know belt bags aren't for everyone, but trust me when I tell you that you should try them. I officially have 3 and I am OBSESSED with them. They're so perfect for a night out with girls (hello double fisting the champs) but these days you can find such cute options that look more modern chic and less "I'm-a-tourist-at-Disneyland"

Do you have a style or piece of clothing that you were scared to wear at first, but now you love? I feel like that's the case with everything in this post (jumpsuit, belt bag, mules) Which is why I really encourage you gals to take a chance on your fashion choices. Even if it's just a small one. You never know when you might find your new favorite thing! 

Happy Tuesday lovelies! xoxo

Outfit Post: Printed White Out

You guys... this heat is cray-cray! I feel like we jumped pretty much from winter into summer and skipped right over spring. Thank goodness for cutoffs and mesh tees to keep me cool!

I seriously can't get enough white. White Sunglasses. White Shoes. White Jewelry. All white everything please! But can we discuss how amazing these Yosi Samra flats are? I've a neon t-strap pair for a few years but this was my first pair of regular flats. And let me tell you... I don't want to take them off my feet! They're SO comfy! The best part is sipping them on to walk home in after a long day of heels at the office. But they totally work as a wear-all-day-comfy shoe too. 

Hope you guys had a WONDERFUL weekend. Let's make this Monday a fabulous one!

Outfit Post: Tropical Print Top + Leather Skirt

Last week, I got to talk about some spring and summer essentials on My Carolina Today (view that post here) One of the items was this tropical print tee. Would you believe me if I told you this was from the Nicki Minaj Collection for KMart?!? That's what I love about fashion... there's always a surprise in store! Anyways... I plan on living in it this summer. Why? Because there are so many ways to style it! Here's how I wore it for the segment and the rest of my work day.

Nicki Minaj Collection printed mesh tee (gifted)

Zara coated faux leather skirt (old - almost identical option)

Zara sandals (old - similar style)

3.1 Phillip Lim for Target Mini Pashli (splurge option)

Sole Society "Danielle" sunglasses c/o

J.Crew classic pave bracelet

Caravelle New York gold tone watch

I absolutely love the colors and the print on this tee. It's so bright and summery! But to make it office appropriate, I paired it with a pleated midi skirt and black heels. This kept it dressed up enough for work but still fun and cheeky. If your work doesn't allow open toe sandals, just swap them out for some pumps. 

P.S. I'm REALLY into these fab sunnies from Sole Society. I love the retro-ish shape! So perfect for casual beach days or dressed up occasions. 

Did you guys have a fabulous vacation? I'm still recovering from Key West. Let's just say... I'm not as young as I used to be! Hope you guys enjoyed it - I'm just excited about this 4 day work week. We're already halfway there! Happy Wednesday! xoxo
