Best & Worst Dressed at the 2015 Met Gala

The Met Gala, also known as the Met Ball, was Monday May 4th. If you’re unfamiliar with the Met Gala, it is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in NYC. This year’s theme was Chinese fashion because their spring 2015 Costume Institute exhibit is called “China: Through the Looking Glass.”  There were some great looks that did a good job utilizing this year’s theme while some other looks were just…bad. My choices…

Spring/Summer Trend: Skorts & Chunky Heels

Hello Fashionistas! A couple of trends that I’m really liking for the spring and summer are skorts and chunky heels! I probably haven’t worn a skort since 2006 and pretty much since then they have gone out of style but…they’re back! Skorts have come back in a big way and they are looking very chic and modern! The great thing about skorts is you can dress them up since they’re disguised as a skirt but they also allow you to have the same freedom…

My Picks: Spring & Summer Lip Colors

Now’s the time to try that orange or magenta lip color that you’ve been shying away from! When I think about spring and summer lip colors, I think bright, bold, and fun! I’m going to list some of my favorite stains, glosses, and a lipstick as well as some swatches and a few photos of me wearing them. Hopefully you see one that you want to try! XO Catherine 1. Josie Maran Argan High Gloss Lip Quench in “Pink Honey” (part of…

Spring Trend: Culottes

A trend that is pretty popular for this spring is culottes. Before this year I didn’t even know what culottes were but they’ve been around for a while and were popular in the 1960s! The best way to describe them is to say that they are elongated shorts that flow like a skirt; they’re really comfortable too! I purchased these at Marshall’s about 2 weeks ago; they have great deals on spring trends. I decided to wear wedge heels with this look because culottes…

Retro Inspired Spring Look

Hello Fashionistas, hope you all had a great weekend. I’m so happy that spring is finally here because now I can go back to wearing my fun, bright outfits! I wore this outfit to lunch and while running some errands. I wasn’t trying to go for a retro look but after I put this on and looked in the mirror I thought, this kind of has a retro vibe. I was thinking it resembles the style in the mid…

Spring Look: Patchwork Jeans

Hello everyone! It’s Monday and it’s a little cold today here in Charlotte but nonetheless Spring is here and I wanted to share this look with you guys. When you think of patches on jeans it seems a little outdated but it can actually look stylish; it really depends on the fit of the jeans and what you pair them with. I think this look is great for spring, perfect for a day when it’s warm but not too hot. I’m…

Destination Vacation: What to Wear

Hello Fashionistas! As you probably read in my previous post, I traveled to Miami for Spring Break and I mentioned that my next post would be on what I wore; here it is! Sorry for the wait! All of these looks are great to wear while vacationing in a tropical/warmer climate. Hope you all enjoy! XO Catherine Outfit #1: Chic Maxi Maxi dresses are a great daytime look! They’re comfortable and breezy. The one I’m wearing here I bought from TjMaxx ad paired…

Stylish Stocking Stuffers

Hey everyone! I apologize for not posting in awhile, I’ve been pretty busy with school and I’ve felt fatigued but I’m trying my best to snap out of it! Even though we’re still in early November, Christmas will be here before you know it and it will be December 23rd and you’ll be rushing to buy everyone presents and it’ll be stressful! So with that being said, it’s a good idea to start thinking about what you would like…
