Pretty Rebel

Today's look is a little rebel with a little pretty. This oversized moto jacket is so fun to add to what might typically be a so-so outfit and give it a little extra edge. And my lip? Well, I'm pretty much obsessed with this purple hue. What do you think?

Weekend Outfit Inspo | Taking Advantage

How awesome is it that we are still having warm weather! Hold off on putting your lighter items away-- there's still opportunity to soak up the sun. This is some weekend inspiration for you. Items are lighter weight and incorporate the hues of fall (versus the neons of summer!). Throw in Ariana Grande's #1 album and your weekend is set!

Eye of the Tiger

I love moto, but I also love glam. So with this look I blended the two! For my wardrobe, I layered textures and patterns, and added smaller details- rhinestone necklace and leather cuff- to pull the look together. For my eyes, I used black liquid liner to get a sleek cat-eye, and complimented it by adding liquid gold liner to my bottom lid.

So, can you hear me roar?

Last Saturday, I met with Liz from Honest Fashion at Le Pain Quotidien in DuPont for coffee and pain du chocolat. It's fun to talk fashion inspiration with other folks who might find the latest Jeffrey Campbell chain wedge sneakers in Elle just as swoon-worthy.
