#OOTD Tribal Print

Hollister Jean Top (similar) | Forever 21 Skirt (similar) | PINK Bralette (similar) | J.Crew Bubble Necklace | Longchamp tote | Rebecca Minkoff Sandals (sold out) | Forever 21 Sunglasses and Earrings (old)

Tribal prints have always been one of my favorite trends, especially for summer. I've always had trouble with silhouettes working with my body. I'm more of a pear shape in the sense that my top is wayyyyy smaller than my bottom (aka the hips are big and don't lie!) But I do find that wearing "body con" skirts and dresses with a print (because my body isn't the greatest of shape right now and having solid colors would just show EVERYTHING) work best for my body. I can't always wear circle skirts like I want to because the booty has a mind of its own! Pretty much I can't wear them because they get really short in length and my butt looks huge when I wear them. But big in a not so flattering way...never the less! I love wearing this skirt because I can change the length from micro mini to ankle length! 

Now, I ask you! Thoughts on printed skirts! Love it or leave it?!

Lots of Love,

Lizzie

St. Patrick's Day Outfit of the Day (feat. Lilly!)

I hope the luck of the Irish was with you all yesterday during St. Patrick's Day!!! (Fun Fact! I'm about a forth Irish! My Nana's Irish) I had a nice relaxing day with my family. We went actually went out to eat instead of making something. But have no fears we did make corn beef and cabbage! But for my Grampie's birthday instead.

 I love when I get the chance to wear my leprechaun blazer! Plus I look like a leprechaun with those pants! To be honest I'm pretty sure they shrunk a little in the wash...but don't tell anyone! ;)   

Oh! and Lilly wanted to say hello!!!

Preppy Meets Boho!

I've always said I have a different look towards fashion. One day I'm wicked preppy (mostly during the spring time) and other times I'm so boho chic (Summer time is that time!) BUT there's always that confusion part during the fall/winter time where I can't decided whether to go all preppy or boho! This is one of those days. I have a little bit of both!

Outfit
-H&M Jacket
-Forever 21 Sweater
-Urban Outfitter Jeans
-Dolce Vita Boots
-Ralph Lauren 'Monogramed' Hat
-Francesca's Collection Necklace

Nail Polish
-'OPI' Eiffel For This Color

I hope you like it! Tell me what you think below!

OOTD : Mixing Prints ((Video))

When I don't know what to wear I sometimes get lazy. I reach for the first two things I can find or throw on a dress. Lately I've been trying to mix prints! Stripes and polka dots, cheetah and camo print, flowers and plaid, anything! I like to keep thing interesting :)
        I also found this new some that I've been obsessed with so I decided to use it in the video. You can find it HERE. Wrecking Ball Remix (Caked Up Edition) .

Life in Black and White.

Well, it's about that time again...that time that everyone dreads but for me now LOVE. It's BACK TO SCHOOl TIME!!! Wether you like it or not you need to go. Me? I am now a sophomore in college. Let me tell everyone that's in high school or lower...it gets better! Wayyyy better!
          There's a reoccurring color theme in my life...Black and White. Funny because I am half black and half white. I don't know why I have so much black and white in my wardrobe but I love it! Simply but edgy! Just what I like. I went into the city and to the mall today and I decided to show you what I got!

LTF : Holiday Party Outfit Ideas!

Hey everyone!!! First off...Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!! It goes by so fast I know! Feels like yesterday I was just finishing finals. Well a couple of days ago I filmed a Holiday Outfit Ideas video for YouTube and I wanted to explain the outfits!

For my first outfit I'm wearing a green blazer from Forever 21, black bejeweled shirt from Forever 21 and Hollister jeggings. For shoes I'm wearing black boots from Target. I took the traditional green color from Christmas in my blazer to bring this outfit from everyday to Christmas Day! This is my new favorite blazer! Because my blouse has a jeweled collar there is no need for a necklace. Just add a pair of earrings and some cute bracelets, your all set!

My second outfit is a formal family/work party outfit. I know I'll be wearing this for my family Christmas party! I bought this dress from H&M for $15! Love Christmas sales! Just saying! Make your Holiday bold with bold colors! Like this royal blue dress! I paired it with a black faux fur coat I bought from Target 2 years ago and black heels to from DSW that are the brand Connie. They are so old...I need a new (taller!) pair of black pumps...asap! Top it off with a Santa hat and your all ready to go!

For my last and final outfit I decided to try something casual. Not sticking to the "Christmas" "Holiday" colors I paired a pink Forever 21 sweater, a winter scarf from Forever 21, and Hollister super skinny jeans together. Simple and comfy for the busy holiday season. I added my monogramed necklace from an etsy shop and a J. Crew yellow bubble necklace to make this look not so casual. I'm also wearing my Ralph Lauren riding boots to dress this look up!

Well I hope this helps you get ideas for last minute Holiday outfits!!!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas/Holiday and I'll write you later!

Pardon My French!
