Hardware Anyone?

I love hardware so of course this season, I am looking to add many studded and armored pieces to my closet to edge out classy girly looks. Stud looks great when added to staple pieces like a leather jacket, a classic headband, pretty much all girly things; its a touch of spice. The addition of leather and studs with items like a chiffon top, or pencil skirt is ideal because the contrasting textures essentially complete the look. Studs work best on simple pieces like things in neutral shades or of simple design because it isn't too over the top.

Style Star: Emma Watson

Emma Watson: 

Known for her role as in the Harry Potter sequels, Emma Watson has grown from pretty little princess to rocking style star.

Her endorsement deal with Burberry was sure to keep her a step ahead, and that is what it did.

Here's a look at how much more fashionable she has become. . .

Cheetah Pumps

Bring out the animal in you this Summer with some wild cheetah print pumps. I have been looking for the perfect animal print pump to rock as a type of neutral shoe, along with my blacks, nudes, and grays.  The perfect animal print shoe can take any ensemble to the next level, only the brave can wear them successfully though so bring out bold this summer!

Here is a picture of a friend and me last summer while I was rocking my leopard print Jessica Simpson Waleo pumps. I wore them with a plain black omni peace tee, abercrombie short shorts, and the jean Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag you can somewhat see in my lap (I love that bag).

Casual Job Interview

This is what I wore to a job interview for a receptionist position at a salon and spa. On top I wore a chiffon dress shirt with an over sized blazer. I decided to dress the outfit down a little by wearing jeans because the job is not ultra professional; black skinny jeans are both causal and chic so they work. The pumps work because they are a professional height, around 3-3.5 inches with a .5 inch platform.  I kept my hair, makeup, and accessories very simple.

Sam Edelman "Joss"

I have had my eye on these boots for months! These boots are from last season but because they are so popular, they are still being sold, and in many places, for close to regular price. I am totally in love with them and will continue to look around for them until I find a price that I like. These boots also come in gray, camel, and white. I love the camel and the black. I've always wanted the black, but I am beginning to lean towards the camel. Be on the lookout for a pic of me in these boots soon.
