Look of the Day: Vest of the 90’s

Today’s look is one that I wore on my trip to Cabo, but since I didn’t really have anyone to take pictures of it over there, I decided to wear it during last weekend’s Looks of the Day photoshoot (and I’ll probably do some more Cabo looks that way, so stay tuned for those).

I am a big fan of vests (I might’ve already mentioned that) because I feel they really add that little extra something to make an outfit special, not to mention they are great layering pieces. I am particularly fond of cropped vests because they highlight one of my best assets, my waist. This denim vest is a recent adquisition, and I am in love with it, but also a little bit disturbed because it is soooo 90’s.

I’m sure it’s not news to you that 90’s fashion is back and the fact that the 90’s are now retro is exactly what’s bugging me! I mean, I can actually remember 90’s fashion, I lived it, I wore it… when it was brand new… Am I getting old or what?! (Don’t answer that!).

Anyway, regardless of my ‘getting old’ issues, I am fully embracing taking a trip down memory lane thanks to the new old 90’s trends. And I’ll definitely be re-visiting some of my favorite looks and pieces from that era, so stay tuned for that as well.
Do you have any favorite looks from the 90’s? Please share! They might serve as wonderful inspiration for future outfits.

Look of the Day: New York State of Mind…

After seeing the damage left behind in New York by hurricane Sandy, I’ve found myself in a New York state of mind more than ever. It’s no secret that I love New York, and my thoughts and prayers go out to all who have been devastated by this disaster. And thinking of New York is that I decided to take pictures of this outfit. I had originally planned to wear this look in NY back in September, but the weather was too hot for it. Luckily the weather here in Arizona has finally cooled down, so it seemed like a good time to wear it.

This look it’s a bit business-y and serious, so I decided to spice it up a bit with some sexy platforms. What do you think? I hope you like it as much as I do.

Wishing you darlings a wonderful week!

Trend Alert: Two much?

You know by now that I am obsessed with statement jewelry, and necklaces in particular. For me the bigger the better, but even I was a little surprised to find two of my favorite fashion bloggers (and personal sources of inspiration!) doubling up the fun by layering two statement necklaces in one outfit. Is this a new trend? Are we soon going to see layered statement pieces everywhere? I’m not so sure about that. I love the results Andy and Hallie achieved with their pieces, they do look fabulous, but this might be a tricky trend to pull off for the rest of us. What do you think? Is two too much? I guess I’ll have to test this one myself… And of course I’ll let you know how it goes.
Have a great weekend darlings!
