And I give you, remix #2! Apparently my inner rocker child called and requested an appearance, so here she is, decked out in leather and plaid.

Happy New Year to you all! I haven’t done a remix in a while, so I thought I would start 2012 with one, involving this unique cut-out skirt from Zara. I call this the chic dressy version. Stay tuned over the next couple days for remix two and three! xo

Once again, the stylish Krystal and I have teamed up to do a fun remix based around a similar striped top we both own. She bought hers from Zara, I picked mine up at H&M. They are slightly different in the cut and material, but close enough for a remix challenge. She first wore her top here, I wore mine here. Today, we give you two brand new looks based around said (similar) shirt. The best part is that we kept our outfits a secret from each other until today, so I’m can’t wait to head over to her blog and see her final look! xoxo

{ These pretty little Olsenboye (Marykate and Ashley;s line for JC Penney) booties were sent to me and I liked how they almost matched the color of the skirt. I was feeling the pinky nudes and soft beiges with only a pop of pink offered by the flamingos on the shirt. Sometimes it’s fun to be color blocked with bold hues and other times monochromatic is the way to go, as in the case of this outfit. A fun little teaser…I teamed up with Olsenboye and will be doing a fun giveaway later today, so definitely check back to see what you could win! }

On Monday, Krystal and I kicked off our second remix challenge (see the first one here) and both wore faux fur on our first go-around. Go figure. It was sort of funny to see that we came up with such similar ensembles, but doesn’t surprise me because for the most part, we have basically the same taste.

For this remix, I think I was subconsciously channeling an 80′s wall street-meets-Miami Vice chic. Who knows if that makes any sense but that is what it feels like to me. I think it has something to do with mixing flamingos in with a vintage cream linen blazer (shoulder pads still in place) and an oversized furry coat, no?

Alright, time to head on over to Krystal’s blog to see what she came up with. Let’s go together and take a look-see, shall we?

Yep, that’s right! Krystal, from This Time Tomorrow, and I are at it again! We teamed up and decided to do another remix challenge around this maxi skirt from Forever 21 because (shocker) we both own it. She bought it in olive green, me in taupe, but either way, it should be a fun challenge. Remix will begin next week, but in the meantime, here is a little sneak peek of the skirt.

{ P.S This is how Krystal first wore it! }

Well, we did it! Krystal and I remixed our favorite cape simultaneously every other day last week and these are the looks we came up with. Now I will turn it over to you guys. Which one of Krystal’s ensembles do you like the best? (I love all three, but have to say I love the last one the most.) What about mine? (I actually think my favorite is the last look as well!) Let me know, I would love to hear! xoxo

Happy Friday, and happy almost Halloween! What are you guys dressing up as? A and I are going as a stewardess and a pilot. Classy, huh? Should be a fun time!

Okay, onto the outfit. Today is the last day of the style challenge that Krystal and I took upon ourselves to see how we would both wear our capes this week. I always love her style and this week has proven to be no different.

So, without further adieu, I give you version three. I was trying to channel a movie star-esque vibe again so I pulled out my faux fur stole, my lace and my glittery jewels for a glam effect.

Now, let’s see how Krystal styled hers up today….

Fashion week is quickly approaching, and with new colorful pants in my closet, I want to try and wear them next week at least once to either a show or a party. I imagine I will style the final outfit a little differently than any of these in order to keep with the remix theme, but with that said, I’d like to know which look you lean towards/which ensemble is your favorite?

I hope you all had a fantastic long weekend! xoxo

My first thought after trying these pants on, besides wanting to wear them to bed, was how could I make them look chic and edgy. I think the best way to accomplish that is by adding pops of black to sharpen the overall look. With that said, I give you round two, kiddos. xoxo

H&M Blazer / Fred Flare Necklace / Forever 21 Tee / Forever 21 Dotted Silky Skirt / Thrifted Belt / Vintage Ferragamo Heels (thrifted from Beacon’s Closet)

When I was back in Seattle, I went to Forever 21 with my Mom. As we wandered around, we quickly noticed the”shirt wall” they had going on, which covered an entire back wall and consisted of many bright colors and styles. At that same time, I happened to be holding this exact polka dot skirt in my hand, and and that’s when the chartruese tee began calling to me. We both immediately agreed it would be a fun contrast against the dark blue dotted skirt, so I snatched it up and whisked away into the dressing room. Needless to say, I walked out with both items, among a few other gems, and had a little hop in my step as I exited the store.

I was originally going to pair these shoes from Steve Madden with this ensemble, but then at the last minute, decided that these vintage Ferragamos would be a nice contrast with the primary-esque colors. Et, voila. Remix #3 of the polka dot skirt…I wonder how many more there will be?! Stay tuned to find out!

HAPPY WEEKEND! xoxo
