As 2017 gears up, I’ve been doing a lot of brainstorming about how to make this year one to remember – and one that feels damn good. I wrote about what I learned in 2016 earlier this week and I clearly grew and learned a lot, but I started thinking more about the components that can lead to 2017 being the best yet – because who doesn’t want to live…
A few weeks ago, I decided I wanted to be more intentional about introducing and chatting about new (ish) and noteworthy fashion trends that have successfully made their way from the runway to the streets. I’ve also been challenging myself to try new things and embrace the trends and try to incorporate them (subtly) into my everyday wardrobe. Yesterday I talked about the athleisure trend (which I LOVE!) and today I wanted…
Do y'all follow on snap? Did you see Lisel and I joking about "the Teddy coat" and how we (slash okay just ME - Lisel is NOT a fan) wants to make it a thing? lol I honestly have no idea if these things are cool, but I DID notice that they've been popping up around the interwebs lately. Plus, the few that I HAVE seen online that were super cute have sold out within days of me seeing them! So hey, that must mean they're cool right? LULZ.
Why You Need a Suede Biker Jacket I think a classic, good-looking suede jacket is one of the best investments you can make for your wardrobe. A neutral or statement-color suede biker jacket like I’m wearing in this look can do so much for your outfit-pairing potential, giving you so much more to work with when putting together Fall and Winter looks. I didn’t buy a suede jacket until 2 years…
Mixing high and low fashion is something I do on a daily basis. While it’s fun (and exciting at times!) to invest in high-price, luxury items, a true testament of personal style is whether you’re able to effortlessly mix fancy and bargain pieces into one seamless outfit. Plus, I like to buy new things (although I don’t always love shopping), and I’ve found that I get just as excited about…
When it comes to putting together a non-summer outfit, I’m all about accessories. Each year, I pick out a few fall and winter basic sweaters in solid, neutral colors and end up wearing them all season long. I’ll just mix and match them with different layers and accessories to create different looks. And as I’m sure you’ve noticed, I usually end up buying the same sweaters in multiple colors too,…
During the chillier months, I love wearing head-to-toe black for an all black outfit. I know it probably sounds surprising or a little “off” for me (given that my name is “Brighton” and I usually like a good bit of color), but I really enjoy wearing all black and finding new ways to pull off the look. I’ve found that wearing leather leggings with an all black outfit always works because the shiny-like look of the leggings adds a different texture so it doesn’t look like you’re wearing a head-to-toe black jump suit (ha!).
First of all, thank you for the feedback on the initial business casual post I did last week! Like I mentioned there, I'm beyond excited to start bringing business casual inspiration to y'all. I have lots of exciting things lined up (but promise this won't turn into a business blog), so stay tuned! Since I know everyone can't or doesn't want to wear a skirt + heels to work everyday (especially when the weather sucks and/or you have to walk a lot), I wanted to switch things up with a more masculine look. OK, and don't be scared of the word masculine! Even girly girls like myself can benefit from borrowing from the guys, and it's a chic way to add variety to your style.
I can’t get enough pink and grey lately and have been wearing this color combo left and right. There’s something about the way the two colors go together that’s feminine and stylish and just straight up pretty. Don’t you agree? I’ve also included a few other outfits where I’ve worn these two colors together :) but I have a feeling there might be more where these came from too! Shop…
I feel like I’ve been living in cardigans these past few weeks – it’s literally all I want to wear. I’ll usually throw on a comfy sweater or top and skinny jeans (or leggings #letsbehonest) and then a cardigan on top since I’ll need the extra layer. This black and white marled one has been great because it actually matches more than you would think. Since it’s not just a plain…
You know, to be honest, I never really thought I’d be someone that would wear one of those slouchy beanie outfits you see the cool kids wearing around town (or mostly in magazines…). I don’t know what it is about beanies, but for some reason I always felt like I couldn’t pull them off. Is that weird? (slash has anyone else shared this fear with me?!) But I went for…
Figuring out just what to wear with grey jeans can be tricky. I'm not sure what it is about them, but I even find it a little difficult to put together outfits with my grey jeans - although I absolutely LOVE them and wear them all the times. There's just something about them that doesn't feel quite as 'neutral' or 'matches everything' as your everyday blue jean does.
I think I sat at my desk for as little over 5 hours yesterday and I literally found EVERY single reason in the universe not to write this blog post. And then I went to sleep without having scheduled it (ugh) because I was like, oh yeah I’ll totally get to that in the morning. And so now it’s almost 9 am and I STILL don’t want to write it,…
I don’t usually LOVE red and black together but I was pleasantly surprised at how this look turned out. I actually really like the skater skirt with tights red and black combo here. Not sure why, but the red and black together don’t really bother me – maybe it’s because the red isn’t a super BRIGHT red if you know what I mean? Regardless, I like how it turned out…
Since so many things have recently been marked down, I figured it might be helpful to round up some of my most recent, cute winter outfits for y’all. That way, if you’re not signed up for liketoKNOW.it (which you totally should be! sign up here) OR if you happened to miss some of my SALE alert grams, you can be sure to catch everything via this round up post! As I…
I'll be honest, I was pretty skeptical as to where or not I'd be able to make this look work - the thought of wearing thigh high boots with a dress just sounded all sorts of wrong. But I was determined to figure out a way to make it work...without looking tacky or too pretty-woman-esque.
Mastering how to wear over the knee boots is no easy feat. The thought of wearing boots that creep halfway-up-your-leg does (and should) sound like quite the fashion statement. In other words, OTK boots are bold move – but that doesn’t mean you (and me and all us other not 5′ 11″ supermodels) can’t pull them off. Trust me, you can rock them (without giving off ANY streekwalker vibes…). So yes,…
Anytime I see a chunky cable knit when shopping, I do a double take. So naturally, when I saw this cozy cable knit poncho, I knew I had to have it. And when I saw it was ON SALE, I was like, um okay yeah duh! Because really though, how could you not want to be cuddled up in this thing?! It basically screams “hey, I’M COZY, come snuggle with me!” (ha!) Needless…
