PYLO you rock my world. The Namiko T-Dress is a dream. Oversized and flowy, perfect to wear while Summer is winding down. Im wearing it in the color called "Naked", a light fleshy neutral with a touch of pink. It works well with the trending minimalist style. For my skin tone, I pair this color with darker accessories (hat, shoes, ect) to add depth and contrast so I won't won't look washed out (wink wink). I've been into simple minimalistic dresses this summer, ones you can throw on and go. Just add some killer accessories.

Tis the season to wear oversized tops & faux leather pants. Necessary Clothing has a variety of knit tops to add to your wardrobe, basic tops with a twist. I love their style with a high-low hem and a twist in the front which creates a beautiful oversized drape feel.

Be bold and try faux leather skinny pants. The high-end detailing of these drew me in, In this case, Zara does it right. All around, I encourage people to buy quality pieces but without overspending. This is definitely one of those times where you don't want to skimp. Wearing, cheap and poorly made faux leather items will make you look like you're...um, er...wearing a trash bag. You don't want to be a trash bag. So don't settle, quality always wins. It's always better to have few quality items than a closet full of poorly constructed, cheap clothing.

Just when I thought the ear cuff trend was over, Lulu Frost and Houghton's New York Fashion Week collaboration made my jaw drop. These are some gorgeous, bold, on-of-a-kind and elegant statement ear coverings. Just...wow. You can always count on Lulu Frost to take it to the next level. Mad love for these beauties!

This was such a fun look to put together. I love the "harsh" graphic black and white stripes with the mix of warm tan colors. Also the color blocking of the cropped top, hat and cape added unique interest to this outfit. Lots and Lots of blocking going on. Overall it's such a cool mix of sections of color and line. (Please don't mind all this designer talk coming out of me) AND, can you PLEASE check out THOSE SHOES! Oh my, I love these woodgrain ankle boots! They are a great way to add a neutral pattern to an outfit.

This oversized trend is nothing new...but survival mode takes over when it's freezing out. Anything that looks or feels like a blanket, I've been wearing it. Heck, I'll straight up wear blankets. Just a warning, you'll be seeing a lot of outfit posts this winter with me wearing get up like this. Be best buds with blankets, you won't regret it.

There's no doubt, I like to play dress up. I'd define my style as bold eclectic...you never know what I'm going to wear next. It can range from vintage, grunge, to glam. I love the challenge of exploration and attempting to "pull off" a look.
More on the outfit, I adore the tulle skirt trend. You can dress it up...or dress it down like I did here. The sweater is so inspiring, a mix of shapes and textures. I can't wait to incorporate this style into some of my designs.

WOW this outfit! WOW this field! It was a beautiful time. "Meet me at the edge of the world" is a new album Over The Rhine is coming out with soon. I just saw them play and they talked about their home and land in Cincinnati, Nowhere Farm...twirling around this field reminded me of this and their beautiful music. (I love Karin and Linford)
This outfit was perfect for the surrounding scenery. It's simple elegance with lush fabrics and oversized fit has made it my new fave...and it's great to twirl and dance in. I got the lovey vintage copper skirt and  Oscar de la Renta kimonoish piece from a fashion event at NOTO, a small boutique in downtown Akron. The black top is a silk, raw edge tee from Banana Republic. The trendy rose gold sandals are a cute and surprisingly comfy pair from Forever 21.

Spring has arrived...AND I got a bike! I snagged this baby at a thrift store, what a great buy. You can find me zooming around in lovely casual outfits consisting of oversized tops, bright colors & multiple patterns. The extra details on these items give a casual look a little extra kick, which you know I'm all about.

Here's a casual street wear look mixing neutrals. I love wearing a warm chestnut brown and black together with layers, layers, LAYERS. Long oversized tanks, sweaters and socks will for sure keep you comfy and warm until spring finally hits.

I'm saying hello to 2013 in a casual but GLAM sparkly outfit. There's nothing wrong with a texture overload...I mixed velvet, faux fur, metallic, sequins and of course, spikes.
These high waisted velvet jewel-tone leggings are an amazing deal...ebay! I also got a great deal on the vest, couldn't pass it up...I love oversized layering pieces. Nude pumps are from Aldo and the arm party is a mix of Express and AC | Design. Necklace is also AC | Design. As for the sparkly gemmed up hair, those are rhinestone stickers from the scrapbooking section at the craft store. They're pretty easy to take out too since they just use double sided tape.

Time for some bold, oversized goodies! Here are a few of my go-to items to begin the season:

Cat eye glasses: La Marquise, Bon Look  /// Oversized metal earrings and gold scorpion ring: vintage ///  Teardrop statement necklace: Target (clearance rack! score!)  Stripe socks: Jcrew  /// Nail Polish: Sephora by OPI, IM Beauty (yellow) & Charge It! (metallic gold)
