Embellished Skirt

August 11, 2016

I love a ladylike silhouette and this embellished skirt from Chicwish I’m featuring today really takes the cake. {Birthday pun intended!} Plus let’s be honest, a fancy skirt is so much more fun than a birthday suit, am I right?

The navy satin applique flowers are even more stunning in person and look beautiful on the nude overlay of this skirt. I paired it with this black off the shoulder crop top that gives me major flashbacks to getting my composite photos taken during my sorority days.

I’m wearing my Irresistible Me extensions here to add to the elegant look; they are super easy to put in myself and can be styled a few different ways. Next week, I’m going to share how I used the Silky Touch extensions to create a longer ponytail.

My crystal jewelry from Modern and Chic was the icing on top of this look. The necklace and matching bracelet are such a great way to dress up a little black dress or complement a formal outfit.

Thank you to ChicWish for partnering with me on this post. All opinions expressed are my own.

Snug as a Bug

January 29, 2016

Hello from sunny California 🙂 These pictures were (obviously) not taken here, but a blog schedule is a blog schedule and y’all get more blizzard pics. Let me also preface this post by saying: there are not enough hours in the day lately. I’m writing this on Wednesday (I should be packing), wondering if I can just take a nap and pull an all nighter to be ready for my flight. LOL @ myself because I do this exact dance every single trip. Luckily, I have my handy dandy mix and match travel capsule from last week’s post, but I’m hoping I make it out West in one piece (and hopefully remember my toothbrush.)

What Nicole Wore: Snug as a Bug — shop the post: burgundy blanket scarf {on sale for $13! | last seen here} + gray marled sweater {sold out, similar | last seen here} + black skinny jeans {last seen here} + faux shearling jacket c/o SheIn {under $40} + riding boots via nordstrom rack {similar | last seen here} + ring c/o the peach box {sold out} + yellow beanie c/o modern and chic boutique + nail polish + eyebrow filler + foundation

Alright, so this time last week, I was not enjoying any kind of warm weather; I was watching Jonas (slowly) come down and dreading the inevitable shoveling. Somewhere in there, I decided to embrace the crazy and hopped outside to take some pictures.

This coat from SheIn is so warm, I was a little bummed when I first got it because it did shed quite a bit, but has gotten considerably better after the first two wears. No more lint rolling my pants after putting the coat on! The faux shearling immediately called out to me and I’ve loved wearing it during the chilly mornings.

I shared this beanie in mint earlier in the week, but I also love it in yellow! I’ve been very lucky to work with Modern and Chic over the past few months and can honestly say that I love their products. I bought two of their blanket scarves back in September and wear them all the time. Seriously. They are constantly on repeat for me. On top of having great products, the ladies behind this boutique are so kind and thoughtful.

Hope you had a great weekend and have some fun weekend plans lined up!

Beanie Baby

January 26, 2016

This last winter storm hit Louisville in the best way a blizzard can: lightly and quickly followed up with sun and above freezing days. The roads were easy to navigate the next day in my small car, but the scenery was just right for the couple days that the snow lasted.

What Nicole Wore: Beanie Baby — shop the post: striped sweater c/o lookbook store {also seen here} + navy quilted vest {last seen here} + blue skinny jeans + green hunter boots {also seen here} + rebecca minkoff purse {exact sold out, in solid | last seen here} + turquoise beanie c/o modern and chic + blue mirrored aviators {similar} + nail polish + ultra matte lipstick in clueless {from this mini set of best selling colors!} + foundation + blush + setting spray

I’ve gotten to the point where I am literally counting down the hours until I get out of this cold, snowy state {48} but wanted to share my saving grace over the Jonas weekend: this beanie! I teamed up with one of my favorite boutiques, Modern and Chic, and we’re giving them away for free for the next two days! Head over to my Instagram for all the nitty, gritty details {spoiler alert: it’s super easy}.

So let’s talk about the hat….elephant in the room – if you know me, you know I almost never wear hats. I love this turquoise beanie from Modern & Chic; but as usual I was mildly concerned about how it would fit. These beanies have been all the rage lately, but I wasn’t sure how it would look on my big forehead, luckily they have some give and keep your ears and head super warm. It’s been super cold in the mornings while I’m driving to work so I’ve been pulling mine on before I dart out of my house to the car.

Thank you, M&C for making something that works even for those of us with 5heads. #BlessUp
Feeling super distracted while writing this because I’m currently watching the Kardashians and I want to be just like Kris Jenner and show up with five boxes of Krispy Kremes at some point just because. Donuts are life, right? {says the sad girl who has seriously cut back on donuts this year. you really can’t have it all, despite what all my high school teachers said.}

I’ve watched a ton of swatch and tutorial videos on ColourPop‘s Ultra Matte liquid lipstick and so I finally caved last weekend and ordered their Foxy mini set that has five of the best selling colors. So far, I’ve only gotten a chance to wear two of the colors, but I love the way it applies and it looks so good! I’ve been super into matte lips lately so I love that they have such a wide variety of colors from brights to nudes. I really love that they show the swatch on three different skin tones too so I can get a better idea of what the color will look like on me. I would highly recommend.

What Nicole Wore: Hound It — hm houndstooth dress {old, similar | last seen here} + druzy fringe necklace c/o modern and chic boutique + forever 21 leather jacket {similar}

I had to break out my leather jacket for the morning earlier this week. We’re starting to slowly move towards changing seasons which means cool mornings that end with a HOT afternoon and evening. This houndstooth dress is one of my favorite H&M sale finds. The thicker material and 3/4 sleeve makes it perfect for fall and winter.

This druzy tassel necklace was sent to me by Modern + Chic Boutique and we’ve teamed up with a special offer just for you. Head over to my Instagram to find out all the details on how you can get one of the seven colors for free!
