MONOCHROMATIC

Brown is a color that I absolutely adore and that I definitely need more of in my closet! Blame the Taurus in me, but I just love earth tones! This look is casual and chic but definitely giving “boss” vibes. You can’t go wrong with a well-fitted blazer to dress up a look and make you feel put together. Perfect for women’s history month in my opinion! How has March been going for you? Still in quarantine? Or are you over it and ready for hot girl summer to be here already? Let me know down below. xoxo

VDAY LOOKBOOK

Hey friends! Hope you all enjoyed this past weekend of love; whether you spent it with family, friends, partner, or most importantly yourself! If this holiday is a reminder of anything, it’s to work on that self-love sis! I just wanted to do a quick check-in with a few of the looks that I put together for Valentine’s Day weekend; all looks were rented from my job! My absolute favorite is this red ruffle blazer dress from C/meo Collective. Which look is more your style? Also drop the deets on how your weekend of love went! *winky face* xoxo, J.

BOUDOUIR BAE

Let me be honest, I’ve always been a true homebody, only interacting with the outside world if necessary. My current routine is work, grocery store/errands, and home. So I’ve decided that even though a natural-light outdoor shoot is ideal, why not utilize my tiny apartment to create outfit posts? This will definitely help me to be more consistent and creative from the comfort of my home, which is where majority of us are wearing our outfits anyway these days. I’ve worn this look twice already, so I had to bring it to styllabus! (I mean, if you are not getting multiple wears out of your clothes should it even be in your closet?)

You all know I love green, so here I am adorned in it again. The edit makes it hard to tell but this is a green thrifted top from a brand called Laura Scott. It’s beautifully made and the crinkle texture just shines in the light, so sublime. To keep that texture vibe going, I paired these old H&M plisse pants to add that touch of sophistication. These pants are so light and comfy, I have been on the hunt for more in various colors! Pulled the look together by accessorizing with my Sam Edelman boots and a green necklace and earrings. As you can see by the title, I was attempting a boudoir-esque shoot vibe, but obviously a little more covered up. How could I have styled this look to be more boudoir? Let me know your thoughts below!

CANDY STRIPER

Despite the headache of 2020, Christmas really did bring a bit of cheer if for only a day. So, here I am with my late Christmas post; atleast I’m being consistent! Not many good photos were taken (all blame falls on my bf but I’ll take partial responsibility lol), however, I adored my look! The vibe was a play on a modern day candy striper; the star of the show is none other than this gorgeousss candy red cardigan from & Other Stories, paired with these Boden checker pants. It was my first time purchasing from & Other Stories, but they did not disappoint! I have always been impressed with their knits that bloggers would feature in fashion hauls, and it’s definitely the place for cardigans with cute details like these gold hearts. Every time I buy a garment now it has to have an element of pizzazz, because it just gives that extra oomph, you know?

Was this look too much holiday cheer for you? If so let me know how you would’ve styled this cardigan below! *Sidenote: The highlight of my Christmas this year was finding this black Santa wrapping paper randomly at a Walmart, which I have never seen before, isn’t that crazy? I’m holding on to this wrapping paper till I find another or make my own. xoxo, J.

THE GREAT CONJUNCTION

Wow...It’s been quite some time since my last outfit post. So much of the world and our personal lives have changed forever. Man, 2020 has been a trip right? I guess the ringing of the new year (and the great conjunction *wink*) finally ignited me to post before the year’s end. But overall, I really haven’t posted ‘cause 2020 took a lot out of me: mentally and physically. So many highs and lows, but I haven’t let it get the best of me yet. Wishing the same for all of you beautiful beings. We will push forward together in love and light.

Thankfully, I got called back to work a few months ago so it’s helped to keep my mind busy most days. The Anna Sui co-ord set I am wearing happens to be from my job, which is a small woman-owned fashion rental company. Definitely eco-friendly/sustainable for you conscious fashion guys and girls. Definitely look into fashion rental if you are looking for new styles to try but you also don’t want to worry about taking up space in your closet for longer than you have to!

But back to this outfit though! It’s honestly my green Telfar for me! This bag, in all its magnificence and glory, is me personified. For this look I just went for casual, comfy, and chic! You may notice this ASOS denim trench from a previous post. Paired with this sparkly set, the denim trench brings out the deep color tones of the co-ord, which is perfect for those who are trying to straddle on the subtle side of holiday cheer. I elevated the ensemble with gold jewelry, my Vagabond Carla boots (Mona inspo from Half & Half), and my staple Steve & Barry’s corduroy bucket (which I will never part with!) to bring this whole look together. How has the incorporation of masks affected your outfits? Are you sticking to the disposable masks or have you dived deep into mask fashion? xoxo, J.
