Spotted

Patterned tights have never been my thing, until recently when I took the plunge and purchased these black and white polka dot printed tights.  Since the print was bold enough, I paired them with a basic black outfit and minimal accessories.  What would be your choice of patterned tights? ~Love CTina Xo

Leopard + Stripes

Stripes with any other print has been a huge trend this season, and when I came across this simple thin black striped tshirt I knew that it would go well with any print or even alone with bold accessories!  As for my footwear, it’s very rare I wear booties in the summer time, but with this skirt nothing goes best other than these! Hope all of you are enjoying your week and have a fabulous weekend loves! ~Love CTina xoxo

Coral



Once again these bold printed snakeskin pant have completed an outfit! This coral blouse was one of my many fabulous gifts from my mom, and it just so happened a good friend of mine gave me this necklace which pairs so well with the blouse! There’s nothing better than preparing for Spring/Summer, and bright bold colors are in! ~Love C


Denim + Leather


Yesterday I started a 3 day course on Home Staging (my real job) and I have been deciding what to wear! I feel like it has been forever since I was sitting taking notes, thankfully my iPad will help with the note taking department! I will hopefully have time in between to update all my social media and keep you lovers in the loop!

I have 2 new favorites in my life at this moment – Denim & Leather! Although the texture of the materials are complete opposites, they somehow simply work well together!  Life and outfits for me never have a dull moment, which is why I had to add my favorite sequin blazer to this versatile day/night outfit!~Love C

Print Power



So I have finally decided to mix my prints! Both polka dots and animal print are considered neutral’s in the print world so why not mix them!? To make the outfit more subdued, I opted for pairing my classic black boyfriend blazer and booties, kept accessories to a minimum (one ring, my watch and just a black necklace) to help keep the prints the main focal point.  I love this skirt not only because it’s animal print, but because the peplum trend is so hot right now! What do you feel about mixing prints?

Happy 2012 everyone! This is the first post of 2012 and I decided to keep it simple and classic with black and white with a touch of polka dots! Polka dots is one print that never goes out of fashion and is such a classy look!

Shimmer + Sparkle


Between holiday parties with friends and family, and holiday work parties, outfits have to be a day to night easy transformation!  I usually love planning my party outfits prior to the engagement that way I am not stressed or rushed on what to wear! I figured this LBD could go from day to night instantly adding the sequin blazer, and removing the opaque tights!

The Leather T-Shirt

One of my favorite pieces for fall in my closet is my leather t-shirt I bought from Danier Leather.  It is a very versatile piece and can be worn many different ways! It is structured enough to be worn with classic pieces like I did today with a balloon spotted skirt and booties. Yet relaxed enough to throw on with a pair of jeans and ballet flats.  Today I decided to dress it up a bit by throwing my hair up in a tight bun, and adding a little ‘frosting’ by using an extra large sparkly ring.

Neon in Winter

I am so happy neon is a hot color trend for Fall/Winter!  I bought this neon green shirt from Forever 21 when I was in NYC last April and got great use out of it throughout the summer and now I will again this winter!  Pairing it all with black, made the neon green pop even more! What a great color statement, and I limited myself on accessorizing this time. I really just wanted the shirt to be the focal point. So simple accessories were the key!



Favorite Wedges of 2011

 

Wedges are probably the most comfortable type of heeled shoe out there!  They not only make your legs look fantastic, but you can wear them all day and night long.  I have chosen a few of my favorite sandal wedges for this season!

Aldo has some great wedges this season! Check out the chic city wood base wedge, or the bright red colored espadrille wedge for that pop of color! I’m loving the nautical look that the Guess by Marciano wedge has to offer and the snake skin print wedge by Guess that has adjustable ankle strap.

Another favorite is the floral print Steve Madden wedge and the fuchsia colored espadrille wedge from Nine West, that was spotted in the New York Times, and is a definite head turner!

Now who doesn’t love wedges? I sure don’t!
