[LOOK #4] "Racey-Lacey" ft. LULU*S

Lira racey lacey dress c/o LULU*S  I  Isabel Marant inspired wedge sneakers- Target  I  Statement necklace- Charlotte Russe  I
Comme des fuckdown beanie- eBay  I  Sunglasses c/o Giant Vintage

Today's look is the last and final piece of the EWWITSNIKKI x LULUS collaboration. This racey lacey dress features a flirtatious high low hem with sheer lace panels on the mid section and two stripes on the bottom of the dress. What else can I say about this stunning and very versatile number? Aside from the fact that you can dress this piece however you want to, you can also show a little bit of skin without over doing it.
With today's look I decided to go for the sporty/ edgy look but also bringing a hint of sophistication along with it by adding the beaded statement necklace that I have on. I also decided to wear a black beanie while tossing all of my hair on one side once more to show off my side cut and finishing the entire look off  by sportin' my new Isabel Marant inspired sneaker wedge that I got from Target a couple of days ago.

FASHION FOCUS: TOUCH OF STRIPE
In today's outfit, it consists of this beautiful wine wrap dress paired with a simple but chic stripe blazer. In my honest opinion, everyone should have their very own pair of stripe blazer, or any type of printed blazer for that matter. It not only completes your look but it adds more depth to your entire ensemble. 
This season, don't be afraid to wear your colors and prints out as often as you would like because "trends" are just merely a fashion guide, it's not meant to be followed entirely. As cliche as it sounds, some fashion rules are just meant to be broken. You don't have to settle for  dull and boring colors this season just because it's cold. Mix your prints, add a splash of color to your outfit and over accessorize if you want to. Trends for the season might dictate the fashion world, but only yourself could dictate your own personal style ;)

Today's weather was probably the biggest sign that the autumn season has begun...finally! It was around low 50's today and it was not only gloomy but also rainy. I mean, don't get me wrong, I do love and enjoy the rain, just as long as I'm indoors and I'm not the one getting soaked. However, in today's case, it was the exact opposite because I was not only outdoors, but I was getting wet as well =/ However, with that aside, today's outfit is incredibly comfy, grungy and colorful.
I've been loving mixing and matching colors for a long time now since I'm not a black and white type of girl. So, in this ensemble, I decided to pair my gargantuan of a cardigan with my neon green beanie. Knits on knits are perfect for this cold weather!!! I'm also wearing my favorite studded shorts but of course, I'm wearing knit tights to give me that extra warmth.
Overall, I must say, this has to be one of my favorite outfits. ---I don't know why but lately I've been into beanies, maybe because it matches with the style of my hair or what? But yeah, I digress! Today's look, is not only super warm but you can say it's also pretty on point with last seasons trends. LMAO!

FASHION FOCUS: HIGH WAIST LEGGINGS
High waist bottoms basically lifts, tones and makes your legs incredibly elongated, which is why I love it! However, the only flaw you'll get from wearing high waist leggings is that it might showcase unnecessary bumps and lumps that you are trying to conceal. On a much lighter note, high waist bottoms will not only elongate your legs but will also make your bum look firmer. HA! now, isn't that all we really want ladies? 
Anyway, in today's look, I am rocking these awesome high waist disco leggings along with a floral print chiffon button up top with a pair of Lady Gaga-esque heel less platforms. Now, this looks is definitely an understatement, even Lady Gaga herself might take a second look.

I don't know if you noticed on my last post, but I was actually complaining about the over 90 degree weather here in California and I guess mother nature heard my constant complaint and gave us Californians the rightful weather for this month. And, boy am I soooooo ecstatic about it!
Today, I was able to wear this super adorable dress that I got from lajupettefashion.com it's a great dress to wear for a girls night out or something but I wasn't going to have any of those for a while since I am crazy busy so I decided to just dress this dress down by pairing it with some combat boots and a furry vest and blazer. It's actually a pretty awesome fall transitional look since it's not entirely all that cold yet.



Also, here's a holiday event window that me and my Visual Merchandising team worked on. What do you guys think? We used paper ornaments and mounted them on foam boards to create dimension.

Haughty by Nature

Black satchel- TJMaxx  I  Black watch- Ebay  I  Round frames c/o 80's Purple

(Got these adorable sandals for such a great deal! it was only less that $20 at Sammy Dress & come to think of it, the quality is pretty good as well, which makes me a very happy camper!!!)

In today's look, I just decided to wear this pretty awesome reclaimed floral silk dress along with a knit cardi & sandals. It's crazy because usually around this time (early October) it gets a little chilly and starts to to pour a bit already, but none of that has happened thus far. This global warming or whatever it is that's going on with the climate changes, or rather lack of change is seriously messing with my transitional to fall fashion lol! Needless to say, California is still stuck on that "spring wardrobe" weather. Although, I'm very much looking forward to fall already, there's really nothing we can do to dictate mother nature to maybe fast forward the season already.
