Mixing Denim and Suede

It's been quite a while since my last post but with graduating from college in May and a super hectic and stressful summer overall, it's been difficult to find the time to shoot blog pictures. But I'm back and hope to be more regular with my posts from now onwards.

Today's post is all about mixing different textures. I love the concept of wearing contrasting textures together because it really adds more dimension to a look. I decided to pair a denim dress with suede flats and a suede bag. I feel like this look is great for the transition from summer to fall. The colors of the shoes and bag are more neutral and suitable for fall but then the blue color of the denim is on the brighter side and gives the whole 'I'm not ready to let go of summer yet' vibe.

My flats are from Zara and I picked them up while I was in India because they were on sale and basically who doesn't need a good pair of pointy toe flats? My dress and sunglasses are from Forever 21. I've recently noticed that Forever 21 has really picked up its game in terms of quality compared to past years and a lot of their pieces are great dupes for higher end products so you can be stylish without making a dent in your bank account.

Ciao!

Winter Wish List

There are so many great things to buy at this time of the year because of the holidays! This week, these are just a couple of things that are at the top of my wish list. I'm really liking neutrals for this winter instead of sticking to the typical dark colors. White, cream, and powder pink are a few neutrals that I'm seeing a lot of this season. It seems that more and more people are deciding to keep their white clothing out way past Labor Day this year. These neutral colors look amazing paired with a dark cranberry color or a hunter green. Now, when it comes to jewelry, you can never go wrong with scallops and pearls! The pieces I have chosen above are perfect to dress up even the most casual of outfits.
