Walking In A Winter Wonderland…

January 27, 2015

1 Comment

With every negative comes a positive…so with the crazy snow storm NY is having comes a perfectly white backdrop that looks like something out of a movie…When I started editing photos for this post I was kinda in awe…me freezing my a** off was totally worth the beautiful outcome…I present to you a little Valentine’s Day outfit inspo part one!

I had to start thinking of something a little exciting in order to distract myself from this Snow Storm Juno…right now it’s 9:15 pm on 1.26 and the wind is howling, there is already a foot of snow on Long Island and I am stuck in my house till who knows when (I am simply praying it doesn’t mess up my flight to Disney on Friday). So while I am not going on a hot date for Valentine’s Day (unless cuddling with my pup Charlie qualifies as a hot date or if one of my Tinder dates becomes a success story)…that doesn’t mean I can’t feel all ‘lovey dovey‘ in a cute, festive outfit right?!

So let me break down the Valentine’s Day look: Obviously a red blouse is essential when you think ‘Valentine‘ so I found this cute top at Nordstrom Rack (similar blouses here + here). I paired it with a ‘red rose’ necklace because A) a rose for Melissa Rose (my middle name) + B) a rose necklace definitely lasts a bit longer than a bouquet of red roses! And of course a red lip is essential…

My bling and sunglasses you can wear anytime:

Cat Eye Sunglasses: here + here // Rings: here + here

I love a feminine looking skirt…especially a little white on white action like this white faux leather skirt and white pointed toe pumps. I have been searching high and low for white pointed toe pumps everywhere and finally I found them here (for under $40)!

I fell in LOVE with this Rebecca Minkoff clutch when I spotted it at Nordstrom Rack, while I can’t seem to find links to it anywhere online, I found similar options below 🙂

1. Kate Spade LOVE Wristlet // 2. Envelope Clutch // 3. Tech Wristlet // 4. Mini Pouch

Do you guys have plans for Valentine’s Day yet? If not…no worries you can still shop my look and look stylish with your gal pals sipping wine venting about dating (that’s what I may end up doing…minus the wine…a little fun fact about me…I’m turning 23 and honestly don’t like to ~~drink~~…yes I am a freak of nature lol)| Click To Shop + Share My Look |

Preppy Stripes…

January 22, 2015

8 Comments

I am going to be completely honest…I never was one for the whole ‘preppy‘ look. I attempted the whole Lacoste phase when I was middle school and wasn’t sure i could truly pull off a polo, but when I saw gals rocking a chambray button down under a sweater I said to myself ‘Let’s give it a shot‘ and I am kinda glad I did 😉

Because the whole denim and sweater look ~~wasn’t~~ preppy enough, I had to wear white jeans (yes I LOVE white jeans year round cc: ‘Feels Like Winter‘), add black patent leather flats and of course…a dash of neon (my satchel is available in my Poshmark closet here). Let’s break it down…this black + white striped sweater has become a favorite of mine (stay tuned to see how else I style it). It’s warm, cozy and black and white stripes are just begging to be paired with white jeans…right? 😉

I’m thinking I have to bring these white jeans with me to Florida in a few days and maybe this chambray button down too (ugh I am creating outfits in my head as I am typing #BloggerProblems)

I kept my shoes + bag simple and preppy…well as long as preppy includes neon and bows 😉 I was searching to patent leather pointed flats with a bow on them FOREVER and finally stumbled upon these ones from Target and I love them. Since I can’t have a look without color I included this yellow satchel (on Poshmark here)

P.S. There are a lot of fun things happening with freebies lately!

New Navy + A New Giveaway…

January 19, 2015

I think it’s about time for a new giveaway don’t you? Well I needed to bring a little excitement to the cold month of January and what better way to do that than by teaming up with Kameleonz…a fun new brand of sunnies that get this…are interchangeable to match your outfit! What fashionista doesn’t love to have her accessories match her look…including her sunglasses!

When Kameleonz reached out to me about collaborating and hosting a giveaway I had to say YES! I am all about accessories and have become increasingly obsessed with colored sunnies like this green pair named ‘Bali‘ (if only they would actually bring me to Bali…haha!). So read on to see how you can snag a pair (we can be #Twinning!…yes I am such a dork and use that word…oops :p)Before I dish the deets on how to snag a pair of these sunnies let’s break down this winter look (see I am slowly but surely wearing winter ensembles although I am constantly dreaming of warmer weather…I am in the midst of trying to plan a warm weather vacation…stay tuned…)I LOVE a faux fur vest as we all know so naturally I needed a gray one like this one that’s retailing for under $50 (I simply couldn’t survive without it duh!) Pair it with a chic white button down blouse and some simple leggings and you are ready for work or play.

Ok…I have become OBSESSED with over the knee boots…I was unsure at first but once I found these beauties at Nordstrom Rack I fell in love… (similar from Light In The Box here). I think slipping on a pair of over the knee boots instantly adds a sense of sexy and really pulls a look together.

I had to rock a little leopard print once again (this Kelsi Dagger bag has been a current crush of mine).

Now to dish on these awesome sunnies…What is cool about these Kameleonz sunnies is that the side pieces are interchangeable. So the sunglasses are sold in sets and can have the side pieces changed amongst 3 different colors to in a way ‘reinvent‘ their look to match your look!

Want to win a pair of your own? Check out how you can enter below! The contest is running till 1.26.15! Good Luck!

Friday Night White…

January 16, 2015

7 Comments

Ok, yes…I am making a fashion ‘~~faux pas~~‘ today by wearing white in the dead of winter…especially with a light wash chambray shirt (gasp) I am getting a ~~little~~ crazy…what can I say 😉 I simply LOVE white jeans and pairing it with this light wash chambray shirt makes for the perfect combo for a Friday night. Whether it’s heading to the movies, the bar or even dinner…I love a great casual look that isn’t ‘plain’ or ‘sloppy’ looking…I call this…dressed up yet dressed down.My white jeans are from Old Navy but Charlotte Russe has great ones (which I actually ordered whilst I was writing this post haha) for under $30 here. My light wash chambray shirt was an H&M clearance find forever ago (PS a little secret about this shirt…it constantly has to be steamed but I kinda refuse to do so…oops…just adds to it’s ‘casual’ vibe).So this Gucci ‘Soho Tote’ is actually my mom’s which she so kindly let’s me borrow from time to time…although I have my new Gucci ‘Soho Work Tote‘ that I’ve worn before (if you missed it I wore it here) I still have a thing for this bag as well #GucciAddict #SavingForAnother (#SorryNotSorry)!Anytime I wear white pants I feel it is almost necessary to go with a nude shoe and since we are trying to make a chambray top and white jeans a bit ‘dressy‘, why not pair the look with nude suede open toe booties like these ones from Nine West.Now don’t ~~judge~~ me but I actually ended up coincidentally wearing this look tonight (I am currently writing this post at 1am…and I know I will regret this in the morning but oh well) I went out, I lived a little and I wore white…| Click To Shop My Look |

But First…Coffee

January 12, 2015

5 Comments

But first…~~coffee~~ (~~scratch~~ that…to be quite honest I start each and every day with a Venti iced green tea from Starbucks…unsweetened of course…typical white girl…~~oops~~) but I mean coffee as in ‘Coffee Shop‘, the great brand who makes this stylish leopard coat I am wearing today! This past week has been the true beginning of winter weather. Snow on the ground, a chill in the air and wind that practically swept me right off my feet…this weather calls for a warm, cozy and fashionable coat…in comes Coffee Shop.

This brand reached out to me right before the Holiday Season and I couldn’t wait to work with them. They make everything from Moto Jackets, to Pea Coats, to Wool Coats and Bomber Jackets…they are now my one stop shop for unique and trendy coats that won’t break the bank (which is always in style in my book!)

P.S. Coffee Shop wants you guys to give them a shot and receive 20% off while doing it! Just use the code ‘MISSY20‘ at checkout!Naturally when they told me to pick my favorite I had to opt for a little lady like leopard 😉 I always want to be a little feisty and I added to this sassy look by adding even MORE leopard with this great Kelsi Dagger leopard leather bag. And call me crazy but when I think ‘leopard‘ I think sexy and with sexy in winter comes…over the knee boots…aka these black suede over the knee boots that I scored for under $30 (here)…yes ladies you heard me under $30 at Target…Seriously this was one of my most exciting buys within the past few weeks! So while I am not a fan of the cold temperatures I must admitt it was kinda fun to have a little white snow on the ground while shooting looks over the weekend. And yes…I was freezing while shooting each and every outfit…at one point my poor brother’s hands turned pink from holding the camera out in the cold…but nonetheless new outfits were shot, and Missy is still able to share her stylish journey…no matter what the weather outside may be!| Click To Shop My Look |
