Rock This!: Leather Detailing

Hello there! I feel I haven't done a 'Rock This!' post in ages! So here we are back with a trend I'm currently obsessing over - leather detailing. From collars to sleeves to side panels on shirts, pants, and dresses this is a style that can easily be incorporated into any wardrobe for a cool, chic, and slightly edgy appeal. As usual I put together a few outfits for some inspiration on how you can style your leather detailing, enjoy!

A nice update to your basic army green jacket the leather sleeves crank this more casual look up another level. Add a chunky circle scarf and a pair of printed booties and you have the perfect outfit for a low-key Fall weekend.

A classic wool shift dress with leather trimmings is not only work appropriate but can also take you through to happy hour ;) Add some equestrian elements including stacked riding boots and gold accessories to keep it polished and a bright red tote just for fun.

A lazy Sunday doesn't have to mean yoga pants and a hoodie, leather paneled pants can be just as comfy, yet totally chic. Pair them with a chunky knit and denim jacket and you're fashionably prepared for a recovery brunch. Bloody Mary's all around!

Seeing Spots.

Hi there!

I don't know about everyone else, but I've been seeing polka dots everywhere as we transition into Fall and I'm already seeing them being a popular print for the season. I did a little searching through my closet and found I don't have a single item with polka dots on it (expect for a blazer that has dots on the inner lining), and when I think about it, I've never been a big polka dot print kind of gal (if you want to talk stripes, half the items in my closet have some sort of stripe on them, haha!). I've always found polka dots to be very ladylike print, and I am far from being ladylike, lol ;) But I'm thinking this is the perfect time to invest in a couple of dotted pieces. I'm thinking a pair of shoes, like these adorable Gap loafers or sweet Kate Spade NY pumps, and maybe a pair of pants, like this pair of denim from Paige. They're all totes adorbs ;)

(Get Some Dots: 1. Alice + Olivia Celyn Sequin Polka Dot Sweater 2. Madewell Sidewalk Skimmer 3. Brahmin Marilyn Polk Dot Back Pack 4. J.Crew Tippi Sweater in Swiss Dot 5. Paige Denim Polka Dot Verdugo 6. Polka Dot Bow Clip 7. Gap Calf Hair Loafers 8. Dorothy Perkins Polka Dot Dress 9. Opening Ceremony Ivory Polka Dot Pony Boots 10. J.Crew Organza Short 11. Kate Spade New York Licorice 12. Full Tilt Polka Dot Sunglasses 13. Zatchels Polka Dot Saddle Bag 14. Kate Spade Gigantic Swiss Dot Tights 15. New Look White Polka Dot Peplum Dress 16. Kate Spade New York iPhone Case)

Do you all have any polka dotted pieces in your closet that you love or items that you are currently lusting for?

In The Mood For...Capes

(1. 1955 Christian Dior Haute Couture Mocha Wool Cape 2. Folk Herringbone Cape 3. Suno Mohair Wool Cape)

Hi everyone! Long time no see! I feel I've totally been off my blogging game, with crazy long work hours, family visits, and just general things that come up in life, I've completely been thrown off my blog schedule. I'll slowly be working my way back into the swing of things, cause I know y'all miss me, right? Haha *wink*.

Well it's that time. I'm officially ready for Fall to be here, I made my first boot purchase of the season the other day as well as invested in a new leather jacket and gosh darn-it I want to wear them now. I know I shouldn't be rushing it, but this summer has been so H-O-T! I'm not saying I want to see snowflakes falling out my window, but a nice comfortable drop in the temperature would be nice. 

While I wait for the cooler days ahead, I've started making a mental list of my must-have items for this coming Fall/Winter, and, as you may of guessed, one of those items is a cape! A perfect layering piece, that looks just as chic over a chunky knit, denim, and boots as over a sassy dress and heels. They're a great alternative to a basic pea coat and I have a feeling we'll be seeing them all over this season.

What say you readers? Do you like the idea of a cape? How would you wear one? Let me know, I love hearing your ideas!

Rock This!: Mixing Prints

Hi everyone! So mixing prints is still a major trend in the fashion world and I know there have been many a 'how-to' to come out since the trend first emerged, but I have yet to really put my two cents out there so in honor of my last outfit post today I'll show you how to mix prints for almost any occasion!

Two of my favorite prints to mix, stripes and florals! Dress this look up with neutral accessories and a strappy wedge in a summery color, and you're ready for a classy brunch with the girls or a casual lunch meeting.

Like most fashionistas I have a not-so-secret love for leopard prints, it can instantly upgrade any outfit. Polka dots are actually a print I don't wear too often, but I love how they're so classic & ladylike. Put the two together and you have the perfect casual Friday or 'running-around-doing-errands-all-day' Sunday outfit.

This look is probably my favorite, it is also similar to the one I wore last week. Not only do I love the two prints, but the colors are so vibrant I can't help but be happy whenever I look at it, think if you were actually wearing it how awesome you would feel, haha! :) Wear this to a dinner date or an afternoon wedding.

And there you have it! How do you all like to mix your prints? Before I go I want to mention that I noticed I had a bit of an increase in my subscribers from various sources (Google, Blog Lovin, Facebook) and I just wanted to say Hi!! *waving at my computer screen* Welcome! Thanks for subscribing, don't be shy, leave a comment and I hope you keep enjoying what you see here :) Happy Wednesday!

Rock This!: Summer Camp

Ok, so my summer camp days are long gone, but as I mentioned in my last post DCT and I are going on an overnight white water rafting trip this weekend. We're taking a bus up to Wisconsin, staying in a little hotel, attending a beer tasting that night and then rafting the following day. We're both super pumped!

In honor of my Summer Camp-"ish" weekend I put together some oufits that I think it would be perfect for those of you who may be headed to camp this summer or are just spending a weekend relaxing in the great outdoors, no tents required ;) Enjoy!

Whether you're riding with the top down or bus-ing it, like DCT and I, stay cool and comfy in loose boyfriend jeans, bright sandals, and a casually striped top. Don't forget those sunnies, they're a must for long drives.

It isn't summer camp without some sort of water activity! Look cute and casual with a cropped top and denim shorts thrown over a sassy bikini, now you're prepared for relaxing on deck or taking a quick dip in the water!

Who doesn't love a good bonfire, friends gathered around telling stories, laughing, and simply enjoying each other's company. As with all these looks, keeping it casual is key, a gingham dress just screams summertime,  throw a boyfriend shirt over top and let it hang open or cinch it at your waist. Who's ready for s'mores? :)

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend, I'll be sure to keep y'all updated on our trip via Twitter and/or Instagram. Happy Friday!

Rock This!: Fashionably Prepared for Finals.

It's that time of the year, Finals week is here. It's an exciting yet stressful time of year for me, exciting because it means school is almost out for the summer, but stressful because I am the biggest procrastinator ever as well as a huge perfectionist (which is a really weird combination) and I always end up scrambling near the end of the week to get everything put together and turned in.

I tend to look pretty rough throughout this week, as the concern for my appearance continues to decrease as  due dates draw closer and closer, haha! Comfort is key when it comes to fashion during finals (sometimes, for me, its borderline street bum, haha), and with that I thought I'd share a few of my essentials for finals to show those of you who may be going through finals as well how to be fashionably prepared ;)

1. Geek Chic glasses are a must as contacts tend to dry out when staring at a computer screen for hours and hours and hours....

2. Layers are key! Especially if you're hanging out late night in the library or a coffee shop. Plus a chunky scarf can double as a pillow for quick power naps ;)

3. Tunes to keep you motivated.

4. Caffeine to keep you focused.

5. Backpacks are tres chic for finals week, plus it will literally hold everything and anything you may need.

6. Save the killer heels for the week after when you're celebrating surviving another year :)

And there you have it! With that said, I will probably be m.i.a. the rest of this week (I know, I know, so sad), I need to put all my energy and focus towards these huge final projects. But have no fear, I will be back in action come Monday and all yours for the next 3 months ;)

I hope everyone has a great week and weekend! Pray I don't stress myself out too much, haha :)

'Till Monday...

Rock This!: Garden Party Pants

Happy Friday everyone! Can y'all guess what Spring trend I am all about this year? If you thought printed pants, specifically floral printed pants, then you'd be right! I've been all about the floral pant trend and I'm constantly stalking the internet for a fresh pair of pants. I'm pretty sure by the end of the summer I'll have a collection of them, they're all I want and all I need! Haha! Therefore, as I'm sure you guessed, for this edition of Rock This! I'm bringing you my five favorite floral printed pants right now and showing you how you can style these pretty trousers for both the day and night!

Shop the Garden Party: 1. Zara Printed Trouser 2. H&M Floral Trouser 3. J.Crew Cafe Capri in Fresco Floral 4. Alice + Olivia Wide leg Pant 5. Dolce & Gabbana Floral Print Cotton Capri

I love how versatile these pants actually are, floral pants are no longer considered only for sweet, little grandmas or kids under the age of 5. You can wear them just as any other pant, dress them up, dress them down, mix prints, keep it classic, the possibilities are really endless! And now that your vision is full of roses + tulips + daisies (oh my!), here are some examples on how you can style these printed frocks.

Get the Look: J.Crew Cafe Capri in Fresco Floral / T By Alexander Wang Silk Cotton Pullover / Aldo Fravel Pump / Dolce & Gabbana Tote Bag / Rebecca Minkoff Chelsea Sunnies

This is the perfect casual chic outfit! A slouchy sweater, with ladylike trousers, and a pair of killer pumps ( in a poppy color of course) is great for a casual work day or lunch meeting.

Get the look: Zara Printed Trousers / Mango Motorcycle Leather Jacket / Guess Mipolia Pump / Rebecca Minkoff Studded Affair

I love this for a night out with friends, floral pants aren't the first thing you think of to wear when going out, but that's what I love about this look, its so unexpected! All eyes will be on you for your effortless combination of sass and class ;)

Do any of you own floral pants/ plan to purchase a pair? If so how do you/will you style them? Let me know in the comments! :)

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend as well, any exciting plans?

Rock This!: Baseball Caps

Hi there! I hope everyone had a great weekend :) I've actually been feeling a bit under the weather (probably because of all this crazy weather) and have been trying to get some rest, if there is anything I absolutely hate being, its being sick :P

But nonetheless, the show must go on! Today, I'm bringing you an edition of "Rock This" featuring the hot new fashion accessory...the baseball cap! This actually came about from talking with a good friend of mine, Michelle, who recently bought a Chicago baseball cap (which is super cool, btw, check it out here) and wanted to figure out different ways to style it that wasn't your basic t-shirt + jeans look. I decided to take up the challenge and created 3 different ways that she (and you!) can style this new must-have accessory.

Get the Look: T by Alexander Wang Black Mesh Skirt / Steven by Steve Madden "Barren" Oxford Booties / Rebecca Minkoff Nicky Canvas Messenger Bag / Vince Camuto Oversize Cat Eye Sunnies / Aritzia Talula Shrunken Trooper Jacket

I think this first look would be perfect for Michelle as she has that edgy + cool sense of style that I love. You definitely need a certain amount of swag to complete this look. I can totally see someone pounding the streets of New York (or Paris, *winkwink*nudgenudge* Michelle) in this.

Get The Look: Dries Van Noten 'Teenage' Knit Sweater / Mango Short Lisa6 / Current/Elliot The Roller Boyfriend Jeans / Dolce Vita DV Shellie Wedge / Vince Camuto Julian Oversized Clutch / House of Harlow Faceted Triangle Studs

This one is definitely my favorite as it's so relaxed and easy to wear. This would be perfect for a casual weekend with friends spent shopping, eating out, or hey even attending an actual baseball game ;)

Get The Look: Blonde & Blond Striped Skater Dress / Old Navy Tab Sleeve Trench Coat / J.Crew Biella Metallic Penny Loafers / Juicy Couture Saturday Soiree Ms. Pippa Bag 

Last but not least, an unexpected pairing. I love how both the loafers and baseball cap bring a casual element to a flirty skater dress. Wear this when running errands to stay cute + casual while on-the-go.

I think the key to making a baseball cap more fashion-forward than frumpy-dumpy is to choose hats that are in neutral colors so that they'll pair with practically anything and also make sure there is minimal to no branding on the front. That way you can throw it on as you would any other accessory for a boyishly-cool, laid-back fashionista vibe.

What say you, readers? Have you or will you try accessorizing with a baseball cap? Would love to hear how you all would wear it! :) Thanks for reading!

Update: So I entered this post into IFB's Project of the Week - Sporty Chic Style and it was one of the posts to be featured in their top 10! Yayyyy, haha! You can check out the other featured posts here. Thanks to IFB for featuring my post! :)

Rock This!: Spring Anoraks

Hi everyone! Spring is in the air and temperatures are slowly on the rise. I love this time of year because the weather is perfect for layering and breaking out those lightweight jackets. As you've probably guessed, I'm all about the anorak style jacket (as seen here, and here), I love how easy it is to just throw one on to give an extra element to a casual look, and it falls right in line with the sporty chic trend that's all the rage right now.

My anorak has definitely become a staple and I'm considering investing in an additional one, as I'm literally about to wear my current one out, haha! So for this week's Rock This, here are five spring anoraks you should highly consider adding to your closet. I know I will...

1. Vince Camuto Drawstring Anorak 2. Jack by BB Dakota Chambray Fashion Jacket 3. Anthropologie Rain Dotted Anorak 4. Anthropologie Frozen Oceans Anorak (on sale!) 5. Marc by Marc Jacobs Long Anorak

And, for your styling pleasure, here's the perfect springtime outfit to wear with a classic army green anorak. Who doesn't love a classic, crisp, white shirt dress? Pairing it with an anorak makes the look more casual and throwing on a great pair of colorful wedges adds some fun and personality.

Vince Camuto Drawstring Anorak / TopShop Crepe Shirtdress / Steve Madden Wimzikul Wedge / J.Crew Tote

Do you own or plan to purchase an anorak for the spring? How would you style it?

Thanks so much for reading!

Rock This!: Solange Knowles, "Today I'm Wearing..."

Hi Everyone! So, we all should know by now that I have a HUGE style crush on Solange Knowles, if I could spend just an hour raiding her closet my life would be complete, haha! You also probably know by now that Solange has been participating in Vogue UK's "Today I'm Wearing" Series for the month of February (which, let's be honest, is probably the closest I'll ever actually get to her closet, lol). She's worn some pretty stellar looks, her use of color and prints is beyond amazing and so refreshing! Can you feel the love I have for her? Well, I'm here today to recreate a few of my favorite outfits she's worn so far for your viewing and shopping pleasure. I would wear each of these outfits in a hot minute.

Shop the Look: Oasis Tweedy Sparkle Top / Miss Selfridge Flippy Skater Skirt / Kate Spade Vanessa Wedge / Lodis Audrey Checkbook Clutch (different color) / Tarina Tarantino Lucite Choker / Cole Haan Vintage Valise Belt

Since her sweater was a great vintage find I knew it'd be hard to find anything similar to it, so I decided to use the colors in her sweater to inspire a similar look. The light blue is found in the lucite necklace, the yellow in a clutch, and the brown in the actual sweater. All these tie together to create an outfit inspired by the real thing.

Shop The Look: Abercrombie & Fitch Blake Cardi / J.Crew Contrast Stripe Tee / ASOS White Slim Ankle Pants / Chelsea Crew Claire Oxford Wedge (only a few left!) / Miu Miu Pastel Cat Eye Sunglasses

I absolutely adore the colors used in this outfit, they're simply perfect for Fall/Spring!

Shop The Look: TopShop Dropped Back Sleeveless Shirt / River Island Pink Scarf Print Blazer / TopShop Sporty Yellow Shorts / Zara Platform Sandal / Debenhams Blue Marbleised Stone Ring / Miu Miu Pastel Cat Eye Sunnies

I love the unexpecteness of this outfit, the fact is this outfit consists of a blazer, shorts, and a basic white tee, but throw in the 'unexpected' banana yellow color in the shorts, blazer, and shoes, and you've got yourself an statement making outfit that pops!

Since February is almost over (is it just me or is this year already flying by?) make sure to pop on over to Vogue UK to check out Solange's last few outfits, I'm sure they'll be amazing. Thanks for reading! Happy Friday!

Rock This!: NYFW F/W 2012

New York Fashion Week by kinksarethenewpink featuring clutch bags

Happy Friday everyone! New York Fashion Week officially started yesterday and while I won't be in attendance (I really just couldn't fit it into my schedule ;) ), I thought it'd be fun to create an outfit I would wear if I did go to NYFW.

I'm assuming at NYFW you're running around a lot, from a show to an event to another show, so I would want my outfit to be comfortable with easy mobility so I can run from place to place without killing myself. You all know I'm a big fan of maxi skirts and I love the rust-orange color of this one, paired with a nice red suede bootie and a chambray top, I feel comfy/casual yet fashionable. Then throw on a cropped fur coat and oversized fedora for extra warmth during those dashes outside to the next show. Add an envelope clutch to carry the necessities (cellphone, notepad, pen, invites, etc.), finish the outfit off with simple accessories and don't forget your camera! And there you have it!

Are any of you in New York for Fashion Week? If so, what are you wearing? If not, what would you wear?

Rock This!: Valentine's Day

Happy Friday! I'm super pumped because this is actually a real Friday for me, meaning no work tomorrow! I haven't had a Saturday off in awhile, and I have no idea what I'm going to do with myself...probably school work, haha! What a life I live ;)

So it's February, meaning Valentine's Day is right around the corner. I've never really cared that much about Valentine's Day, didn't hate it, but wasn't obsessed with it either. To me it was just a nice excuse to eat chocolate, wear pink, watch silly romantic movies, and drink girly cocktails - not that I don't do that every other day of the year ;) - But I know there are some people out there that take Valentine's Day very seriously.

Though DCT and I have yet to make any official plans (we're totally last minute when it comes to things like this) I already have a date night outfit planned and I thought I'd share some possible outfit ideas for you fabulous readers....

Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas by kinksarethenewpink

1. A tailored blazer in a peachy-pink color gives that perfect V-Day pop for brunch with friends (Blazer - Topshop)

2. Whether you're single and going out with the girls or heading to a hot date a ruffled dress in a cool purple hue gets amped up a notch for Valentine's Day with hot pink accessories. (Dress - Halston Heritage)

3. This floral ensemble is perfect for a classy dinner for two. (Dress - TopShop)

4. Maybe you're staying in and cooking dinner with your significant other or having a movie night with gal pals, whichever you do stay comfy and cute with this heart-print sweater dress. (Sweater Dress - AX Paris)

When it comes to holidays such as Valentine's day, I think simple/quirky nods to the holiday makes for the best outfits. You don't have to go all out with red and pink, hearts and kisses (though that can be lots of fun too). Have you set your plans for V-Day? If so, what are you doing and, most importantly, what are you wearing?

Rock This!: Cowboys & Aliens

So this past Saturday was movie night and some how I got talked into seeing Cowboys & Aliens, the big selling point was being able to stare at eye candy Daniel Craig for 2 hours. The movie itself was actually pretty entertaining, it was by no means a masterpiece, but you really shouldn't go in thinking that. As my roommate's boyfriend put it, it was so bad it was good - if you decide to see this movie, go in with that in mind and you'll have a great time! ;]

Besides spending most of the movie staring at Daniel Craig's buttocks in his leather chaps, I actually became quite infatuated with Olivia Wilde's costumes, specifically her prairie dress in the beginning of the film. She looked hot. Really hot. Then the added gun slinger belt made her a B.A.M.F., which made her even more hot. So yep, I developed a bit of a girl crush on Miss Olivia Wilde.

Pretty Girls Wearing Clothes

For some reason I was really inspired by her outfit, I could not stop thinking about it even after the movie was over and done with - they say you get inspiration from the most unlikeliest of places and that definitely happened here. I tried to see if I had anything that could imitate her look in my closet, but was unsuccessful, so instead of going out and buying a prairie dress (which I'm still very tempted to do), I decided to create a little outfit collage  for your viewing pleasure :]

If you get inspired, like me, to go on a hunt for a western style prairie dress just keep  in mind fit and fabric are important elements to ensure your look is modern and sexy a la Olivia Wilde and not frumpy and dated a la Little House on the
Prairie :] Enjoy!

Rock This!: 4th of July Weekend

It's the 4th of July weekend and you know what that means - beach, BBQ, and fun in the sun :) I'm sure everyone is ready to enjoy a nice long weekend with family and friends, whether you're attending a BBQ (or two or three as has happened to me...so much good food and so little time), a beach bonfire, or getting out the city for some quality time with nature. Whatever your plans are, make sure to do it in style!

4th of July BBQ by Ashes316 featuring embroidery dresses

I think this dress would be perfect for a family bbq, it's fun and flirty and the gingham print makes the dress a picnic (or bbq) classic. Accessorize with some neutral jewelry and shoes, either a high-heeled wedge or to keep it casual try an espadrille flat. Grab a simple wristlet that will hold your phone and other necessities, you don't want to worry about a big bag while chowin' down on some saucy ribs. Finally, add a 4th of July punch! Throw on some bright red, statement making sunglasses and show your American Pride without looking like a walking advertisement. Who's ready to party? Go America!

4th of July Beach Party by Ashes316 featuring a brass chain necklace

For those of you who are hoping for some fun in the sun a la the beach, go a little 4th of July crazy, just have fun with it! A red bikini paired with a blue & white striped shirt screams America, add some funky accessories (star shaped sunglasses? Yes, please.) and you're on your way. Don't forget a fun beach tote to carry all your beach necessities.

Enjoy the long weekend! Happy 4th!
