When guys take it up a notch…

December 15, 20112 Comments

Girls notice. Promise you. Case in point: Ryan Gosling in Crazy Stupid Love. Yes he looked amazing, but more than that, I wanted his entire wardrobe for Ro. And he was on board! Attention to detail is something I think some guys have a hard time with. They don’t automatically think things like “should this jacket have a pocket square?” or “should I layer a sweater over this thermal?”. But oh what a difference it makes.

Boys, next time you dress to impress, ask yourself this question: What would Ryan wear?

I felt like this was an All-American kind of outfit. I’m currently obsessing over these wedge booties from Target! I’m the kind of person that will rock bare legs from time to time all winter, with the right footwear. There are only so many outfits that pair well with tights. Am I right?

The Collar Stands Alone

I have loved the detachable collar for a while now. Thankfully, it’s become something of a trend so you can find them at a variety of price ranges. It’s wearable art! This particular type of jewelry is a statement. It can be worn with the simplest of ensembles to take them up a notch. Which one is your favorite?

When I woke up to see the first snow of the season, I was inspired to bust out my snowflake sweater. I love this sweater but I’m not sure I love the combo. It’s difficult to tuck a thick sweater into a skirt and work it.

I felt like a confection in this outfit. I threw it all together but I think it worked. The sweater (also seen here) is absolutely divine. I hope you’re having a good week! xo

I haven’t posted an outfit lately. I’ve been feeling so frumpy and lazy and have been sick for what seems like weeks. ppppppoooor me! I’ve found an incredible amount of cheap and fabulous jackets/blazers/sweaters at this creepy little thrift. It’s quite exhilarating to find something fabulous for under $5! I’ve also been into wearing a bold red lip and not much else in the form of beauty regimen.

I had the opportunity to get a blowout at Ultra studios last Friday. It was a total treat. Anyway, I found this asymetrical skirt and knew it must be mine. I wore this Monday, when the weather was balmy but I think the skirt will really come alive over tights and platforms.
