50 Shades of a Snowflake

Happy 2016 lovelies! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. Mine went by too fast. The weather has been so off and on (pretty sure it was like 75 on Christmas Eve here in Raleigh) but I think we're finally headed back into cooler temps. Which makes this sweater outfit the perfect Winter Date night inspiration. Psssst there's also a coupon code for 50% off this bag!

Michael Kors "Bradshaw" watch in Rose Gold

When I posted this look on instagram, I called it 50 shades of a Snowflake, so I'm sticking with that. i loved the different shades of blue/silver together. Kind of monochromatic. 

When dressing up for date night during the week, it can be hard depending on how dressy or nice you want to look. I say, throw on a sweater, dark pair of jeans, a fun pair of shoes and one bold accessory. In this case, it's my metallic belt bag - which is also 50% off TODAY ONLY. By adding that extra pop of fun, you feel comfortable, yet put together with a touch of pizzazz. 

P.S. does anyone even use the word "pizzazz" anymore? I think it's kind of underrated. Is this going to be like the time Gretchen tried to make "fetch" happen?

Anyways, I digress. Go scoop up this belt bag for a steal and use the code 50off2016 for 50% off The Hex Collection site wide. 

Happy Monday loves! Can't wait to see what 2016 brings for us!

Outfit Post: Abstract Crop Top & Midi Skirt

Just because fall is coming soon, doesn't mean I have to give up on crop tops! With the right cut, colors and style, you can make a crop top work for just about any occasion.

A few weeks ago, I told you about my exciting shopping trip at Carolina Premium Outlets. It was SO much fun visiting all the stores during "Better Than Tax Free" Weekend. I had never actually been to these outlets before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was REALLY impressed! J.Crew, Banana Republic, Gap, Ray Ban, I mean the list goes on... and they had some really amazing deals. If you're in the RDU area, you've got to check out their stores.

Thankfully, I got a ton of pieces for fall, including this beautiful crop top and skirt set. When I put it on in the store, I told my mom "this is how you wear a crop top in a classy way." It's so elegant and pretty. I LOVE it!

Stay tuned for more of my amazing finds from Carolina Premium Outlets - I have so many to share! Happy Tuesday!

Outfit Post: Scallop Romper

When I first introduced you to #TheHex Collection, I was wearing this piece as a belt bag. But surprise! It's actually a 3-in-1, convertible bag. Versatile is so key when I'm picking out items for my wardrobe. Bags like this are perfect for summer traveling too, because you pretty much have 3 different ways to wear 1 item. Less room in your suitcase!

When I went to my friends Bachelorette party a few weeks ago, it was hilarious because almost every girl there had a romper to wear the last night. But rompers are just the best, aren't they? With the scallop hem, this one is so dainty and feminine, yet it feels like pajamas. Comfy and chic? Yes please! 

I love the way the hologram bag looks against this whole outfit. It really stands out and pops. There are so many metallic options in #TheHex Collection and I love it. Check out this textured option or this mirrored one. And just in case savings are your thing, you can use the promocode: bedazzlesafterdark for 20% off your purchase on www.thehexcollection.com!

Outfit Post: Jeans, Tee, Belt Bag. Repeat.

This has been my uniform as of late. A great pair of jeans, lived in tee, cute heels and a great bag. In this case, it's a kick-ass belt bag from #TheHex Collection. It has a unique shape, is holographic, AND it's convertible. Which means 3 bags in one! Can you say L-O-V-E?

Psssst how amazing is this rose gold wood watch? Yes that's right, wood watch! Super unique right? I absolutely love the color and the metallic face, while the Swarovski crystals are a glam touch. (Hello, this is Bedazzles After Dark after all! But I think my favorite part about it, is that it's so lightweight. And since I'm such a big fan of oversize watches, I get the look without all the weight on my wrist. Did I mention they have ladies and men's options? Yes, please!

I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel my best in a great pair of jeans and a comfy tee. I had a girls night out with a friend in town and as much as I wanted to get dressed up, this outfit was just as chic to me and allowed me to eat truffle fries. Okay LOTS of truffle fries. 

What's your go-to favorite outfit? Leave a comment below so I can see it!
