Look of the Day: Cowboy-ish

So, when you think of a leather+denim combo, I’m sure John Wayne comes to mind, but you might be surprised to realize you can also achieve a more sophisticated look using that exact same combo. Here I present you my results experimenting with it, and I am really happy with how the whole outfit came out.

By the way, this leather skirt is one of the items I had been dying to show you (as I had previously mentioned on this post), and finally I get a chance to do it now that the weather is allowing. I had been dreaming about owning a leather skirt for years (literally!), but usually they come in the form of pencil skirts which are not really flattering on me. Then, last year I bought a faux leather version similar to this one at H&M, but after trying it a few times, decided to return it as it had some pleats that also weren’t very flattering on me. So I was beyond ecstatic to find this gem at bebe a couple of months ago. I am completely in love with it and already have a million outfits planned for it, I’ll probably live in it this winter.

What do you think about a leather+denim combo? Would you wear it? Are you planning to wear any leather items this season? Please share!

Wishing you a lovely weekend darlings :)

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!

Look of the Day: Beach Wedding

Finally I get a chance to show you the look I wore Saturday night to a beach wedding in Mexico. I went for an of-the-moment nude dress since I had been dying for an opportunity to wear one. I was torn between wearing it with nude heels or black heels because I had decided to add a black belt to the ensemble, but ended up going for the nude choice, the lighter color felt more beach appropriate.
Now, one of my favorite things about this look is my hair and makeup. The wedding was nearby my hometown and I have been going to the same stylist there for over 10 years. She’s absolutely brilliant, seriously Hollywood stylists got nothing on her. We decided to do a deep red, almost burgundy, lip color, which I adored so much I ended up buying it on the spot. And the hair, a side updo with retro waves, I loved just as much.
So, what do you think of the dramatic lip, will you be wearing darker lips this season?
