Lately I’ve been on the hunt for jackets that stand out. Anything funky and fun, something that’s not your typical black blazer. Came across this one at one of my favorite shops here in Austin, Luxe Apothetique, which is kind of like an Urban Outfitters meets Asos. Saw this jacket and knew I had to have it. It’s exactly what I was looking for plus, it looks rich, elegant, and the perfect color combo…who doesn’t love black and gold?! Definitely think it can be a bit edgier by wearing it with a graphic tee or with a pair of shorts and heels.

Hope y’all had a great weekend. xo

3 ways to dress up distressed

Happy Friday beauties! Today I’m dressing up distressed. It’s fun, edgy, and an easy way to take your look from day to night. Here are a few pointers to achieve this casual-chicness with a few basics you already have in your wardrobe…

1.) Mix in dressy pieces to balance out the casual ones. A blazer is an automatic go-to when I want to dress something up. Even if you’re just wearing jeans, a tee and converse, throw on a blazer on and you’ve instantly transformed your look.

2.) Add height. Boyfriend jeans are already a little lose and not as slim as your typical skinny jean. Adding height will give the illusion of a longer silhouette while adding femininity back into the mix.

3.) Cuff ’em. You can do this to any denim but I love doing it with boyfriend jeans for an added touch. Here I cuffed them twice, but I also love cuffing them once and then folding the top hem downwards.

Hope you guys enjoyed these tips! Be sure to follow me on Pintrest for more tips and fashion inspo!
