    Black Velvet….if you please!

    Hello Loves,

    Well its time to ring in the New Year. I know that most of the country is in a deep freeze, but its been crazy warm here. Usually Phoenix has a winter haha, but for this past week its been 75 degrees most days. AS soon as the sun sets, it does get desert cold. I wanted to style two outfits to wear for NYE that featured sparkles and pants! This is my second look, for the first post check out that look HERE.

    I found this pretty black velvet blazer and layered it over my black sequins bustier. I wanted to stay covered with a hint of sexy!

    This gorgeous statement layered necklace was perfect for the First NYE look and I loved the way it styled perfectly with this look too.

    Nothing sends a party vibe like jewels and sparkles! I found this cocktail ring on sale for $3! It was pure luck!

    I actually own two pairs of velvet jeans (one is a size bigger than the other for those times when I’ve eaten waaaay too much).

    The staying warm but looking good idea for NYE is hard. I usually like skirts or dresses for sure. This was fun trying something different. I hope that you liked it. Leave me a comment down below with what you think! Meantime, wishing you all lovely people a Happy New Year!!

    Blazer: Velvet Blazer

    Denim: NYDJ or Old Navy (less than $20)

    Hey Babes!

    I have been trying a few different looks for NYE. Now I totally get that in Phoenix our weather can let me pick any type of outfit that I want (lucky me)! Still I wanted to style my new statement necklace with a couple of choices. This post will feature Look Number One!

    These pants are amazing. First crushed velvet is baaaack…thank you fashion Gods! The best thing tho is these pants let you eat too haha! When I was little my Mom bought me a two piece short and tank top made out of blue crushed velvet outfit and the obsession began then! I will have to find a photo and post this sometime lol.

    I found this draped tank for under $10. It provided just the right amount of shimmer to my NYE look. This new two piece separates are a bit more chic than my Mom’s choice right?!?!

    I love the dark metallics of this necklace and my new ring was perfect for this look.

    When you stumble across the mirror sandals of your dreams for under $10 one fine summer day at Ross! Lol I forget I own these and forget these were my fave shoes for dancing!

    So this shoot has a funny back story. The photos taken against the brick building were at great risk to my safety. You see according to the owner of that building something could have come loose and fallen down and hit me in the head…as I stood on a very public sidewalk lol. Yup, we were approached by the owner and told to basically leave. Really?!? So in protest I will not name his silly place so there! If you meet my lovely photographer Rachel you’ll have to ask her about this day haha!

    Look Two coming very soon! Keep an eye on my blog and Instagram for the other outfit choice for NYE!

    Hi Loves,

    I hope you all had a great holiday season. My sister came to visit me since I could not leave Phoenix to go home to Kansas City this year, but next year for sure. A lot of holiday photos were snow-less lol, but I still had the Christmas spirit. This velvet tank ended being a great investment piece at a low price point for the holidays and beyond!

    I wanted to style this as more an everyday look to off set the luxe feel of velvet. The tank being crushed velvet is even better for this I think. I am super happy with this piece and the lace edging makes it a bit more feminine.

    These booties are on repeat this year. I love them. They are sold out but I will link some similar options down below.

    Tank: Zara ( just went on sale $19.99)

    Jeans: sold out–Rue 21; Similar

    Hi Again!!

    So this super feminine velvet tank is my new easy go to piece. I love how it was so fun to style this. I found the velvet pant first actually. I was on the look out for somehting that I could style with the pants. It took some searching, but I knew this was it when I saw it.

    I styled the pant with these suede sandals from last season which color complimented them perfectly. I kept the bold sparkly necklace as a major showpiece for this look too.

    Tank: Zara

    Pant: Old Navy

    Coat: sold out; Similar

    Heels: Nordstrom

    Necklace: Box of Style (use Prettys20 for discount code)

    I love this holiday look. I’m usually in a dress or a skirt, but sometimes its too cold for that and these velvet pants are a perfect alternative. Hope you enjoyed this look! The last look will be coming up soon.

    Xx,
