Mid-week Trend update: Inspirational pieces!

Getting some inspiration this week from different people & things. It's always fun to take someone or something well known in fashion and create an outfit from it. Here are some of my favorites this week I have been seeing a lot of on my go-to websites ...

Inspiration #1: Remember Twiggy?

Twiggy was the fashion icon of the 60's and i love seeing some of the styles she wore come back! I have been seeing the mod dress look of hers everywhere lately-- especially with the indented neck line!
Twiggy Inspiration



Inspiration #2: Diggin' the Deets:

I find myself going to AllSaints website a lot for inspiration because I am in love with the detail they put into their clothing. 




Unfortunately, although I love it, I can't always afford it! Here are some detailed pieces I have found that are memorable, fashionable and most importantly budget friendly!

Asos Dress- must be for the right occasion but gorgeous!
Nastygal- love the sleeves

























Inspiration #3: Ombre-lievable!

I've  had the same hairstyle/color since I can remember and I've finally committed to trying Ombre! Now that I have Ombre on my mind-- I've been noticing Ombre clothing looks as well. Here are some Ombre must haves:

Ombre + Fringe= Perfection. Asos.





















Just bashed on AllSaints prices but this is AMAZING.



Nastygal does it again!



















Favorite Look of the Day:

Can't get enough of this romper!

First Hello: New Obsessions

I find myself every week obsessing over new trends.. so i figured creating a blog would be the perfect place to organize all of them that are floating in my head somewhere. Although its July in Chicago and it has been nearly 100 degrees consistently for the past month, I can't help but day dream about Falls upcoming trends too! So, here are my weekly trend picks; some can be worn next week to Lollapalooza, and some will have to wait til it cools off. Enjoy :)


Peplum Obsession:

Whether its peplum tanks, peplum tops, peplum dresses, or long sleeve peplums, Its a flattering trend that can be dressed up or down. Some of my favorites:

 Long Sleeve
 Tank Peplum

 Dress

Leather
















Peplum Bonus: Peplum + Mesh:


My favorite!
                                                                       
perfect cocktail dress! Just purchased this last week.



















Chunky Gold Chain Link Necklace:


This can be worn a number of different ways.. my favorite is dressing up nautical stripes:




Love this look!


See-through Hi Lo:

Hi Low look is huge right now, but my favorite Hi Lo look is when it is see-through in the back:




Love this look & color

Gold & Turquoise:

I wouldn't say Gold & Turquoise is a new obsession of mine-- its been an obsession for quite some time! I've been seeing more and more of it lately though. Gaudy or simple, its a great way to spice up an outfit:

Simple but elegant


YSL ring-- dont spend the 300 on the real one. You can get them on Ebay for cheaper.

Obsessed with this look from SaboSkirt
