Tribal Shorts + Stylish Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday Dolls! 

This weekend was truly one for the books. Dr. D threw a major graduation party in Orange County to celebrate his PhD and we all couldn't have been more proud. His family flew in from the East Coast and truly made the entire weekend all about him - as it should be! 

The weather in LA has been HOT, HOT, HOT y'all and frankly I'm not a fan of sweating to death the second I step outside so I live in shorts & tanks in the Summer. I bought these shorts for Dr. D's and my trip to Cabo back in April but never actually documented the outfit ... until now! 

The second I saw these tribal beauties at a boutique in Santa Monica I knew I had to have them. They're high waisted, which initially made me nervous, but I truly could live in these shorts all day long. The leather waist band adds a great subtle detail 

I paired it with my turquoise spike necklace and go to black cut out Aldo wedges. They may be 4 inches tall but they're seriously so comfortable you'd never even know!

Isn't this midi dress darling? I'm completely smitten over the lace detailing on the top and cut out sides! Her cut out brown heels are the perfect brown contrast with the black dress and over-sized sunnies! I always love a good pop of color with a LBD and her green clutch is spot on!

Rockin' leather with Tori from Fashion Bling & Other Girly Things

Happy Wednesday loves!

Today I have the fabulous Tori from Fashion Bling and Other Girly Things Guest Blogging! 

I feel like we're blogger besties because we're constantly commenting and liking each others photos on Instagram and blog posts. Kind of crazy how you can have such a good relationship with someone you've never met! Anywho, Tori has a fabulous blog which occasionally showcases her darling pugs (too cute for words y'all) so make sure you go check her out :)

Take it way Tori! 

---------------------------------

I am so pumped to be taking over Paige's blog today! Although, I am a little jealous she didn't take me with her on her ah-mazing vaca! Paige was one of the first blogger's I got to know--and she is seriously so sweet. I am so honored to be able to share with you guys.

I have been totally lovin' the leather trend going on lately. You can go big or go small when it comes to leather. They are making adorable t-shirts with just leather details on the sleeves, or you can do a leather skirt to step it up a notch. I have even seen some girls rockin' a full on leather dress--which I totally adore, but have yet to try :)

In these photo's I am taking the middle ground and putting my new favorite pencil skirt--in faux leather--with some funky booties and low key jewelry for an understated edgy look.

What is your take on the leather trend?! Yay or Nay?

Have a fabulous day

Hipster-esque Stylish Tuesday

Happy Tuesday Dolls!

Being a southern girl, preppy tends to be the fashion way I lean towards, NOT hipster. But alas every now and then it's good to step out of your comfort zone!

Booties that don't match my outfit? Unheard of ... 

Not doing a damn thing to my hair besides letting it air dry? Sheer madness ...

White Tee: LOFT // Plaid Shirt: Target // Leather Pants: ANGL // Booties: Just Fab // Sunnies: Ray Ban // Earrings: Francesca's Collection // Necklace: J. Crew // Gold Link Bangle: Forever 21 // Spike Bracelets: Sage K and Co & Juicy Couture 

Needless to say I may not have totally nailed the hipster look, but it was fun trying something different! 

Have you ever tried something totally out of your element?

This week's featured look comes from Chelsey at Patti Cake! 

Her winter-white look is SPOT ON with touches of gold in her accessories. Everything from her gold nails, adorable Kate Spade sunnies and gorgeous booties is perfection. Way to rock it Chelsey!

Blazin' into Winter with Le Stylo Rouge

To get over the sappiness of yesterday's post, I've teamed up with one of my new favorite gals, Ashley from Le Stylo Rouge, to discuss blazers!

Any woman who works in PR knows that you're wardrobe consists of a TON of black. I'm not much into the whole "pant suit" thing so I create the look with black denim skinnies and a blazer, Voila!

I'll add in a pop of color and some texture varieties (gold glitter belt and snake skin shoes) to spice it up a bit, but keep it professional with minimal accessories.

 

 

Blazer: Banana Republic // Blouse: Forever 21 // Denim: American Eagle // Heels & Belt: Target

I'm in love with Ashley's look (and her amaze-balls ombre hair!) The leather top is nothing short of gorgeous and the way it ties in with her burgundy tuxedo blazer is sheer perfection! 

Pairing it with gray acid wash skinnies and sky high black stilettos makes this the ultimate transition outfit from work to happy hour with the girls. Who wouldn't want to buy this hottie a drink?

Get Ashley's outfit details here and make sure to show her blog some love :)

xo, Paige

Leather Details & Stylish Tuesday #2

Happy Tuesday Loves!

Can you believe Thanksgiving is the day after tomorrow? Neither can I! The month of November has not only flown by, but 2013 has been a complete blur for me as well. It's starting to finally cool off in Southern California so I was so excited to be able to bust out my leather leggings and vestique top.

Top: Vestique // Leggings: ANGL // Shoes: Nordstrom Rack // Necklaces: Cornucopia & J. Crew // Watch: Michael Kors // Bracelet: Sage K & Co.

- now to the link up -

So sorry I missed last week. I came down with a dreadful cold which was no bueno.

My favorite look from 2 weeks ago was Erin's from Simply Just Lovely! Her entire look reminded me of the 1950's and I thought it was incredibly chic.
