Happy Wednesday, lovelies! Today I am wearing a custom tulle skirt design by eShakti (which I have paired with a comfy turtleneck sweater from Express). Yes, this skirt was customized to fit my body perfectly, and guess what?! eShakti does customizations without breaking your bank (by keeping up with technology as it is advancing, they are able to provide customization at a modest cost). I am head over in heels in love with my skirt – because let’s face it: Who doesn’t want a Carrie Bradshaw moment? Ever since I saw SJP wear a gorgeous tulle skirt on Sex and The City, I’ve been smitten.

Check eShakti out here and get 10% off your purchase if you use coupon code ‘whatwouldvwear’ at checkout (valid through 10/30/2014)!

Happy Shopping!

As always, thank you for reading & a BIG THANK YOU to eShakti for sponsoring this post!

Happy Monday, lovelies! Last Thursday I walked the runway together with 14 other Top Chicago bloggers to honor the Lynn Sage Foundation, a research-funding platform founded by sisters Laura and Halee Sage in search of breast cancer cure. The event was hosted by no one else but the fabulous Janet Mandell of Fashionaholic at the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago. The fashion show was a true success – with attendees joining forces for a good cause, and us bloggers showcasing Nicole Miller’s Fall/Winter Collection 2014. The collection itself was to die for; the designer, Nicole Miller, is known for her modern aesthetics (imbued with bright prints and patterns). I wore a grey twill skirt paired with a long sleeve silk top. The skirt is straight off the runway and reflects their Warrior theme for this Fall season. It is a faux-wrap skirt made of stretch silk twill. I was especially fond of the beaded waistband – it’s so elegant, don’t you agree? It contrasts nicely with the print of the skirt for an eclectic and boho-chic feel. The top I wore is made of solid silk and has an elegant drape across the front that creates an ethereal yet sophisticated look (which looked fantastic with the skirt).

As always, thanks so much for reading and a BIG THANK YOU to Janet Mandell of Fashionaholic, as well as Monika Dixon of Monika Dixon PR, and last but not least, Lena of Felinecreatures who is another fabulous Chicago blogger who allowed me to use some her images for today’s post taken by her photographer Jason J. If you want to see all the looks of the Think Pink Event please, visit her website here.

Also a BIG SHOUT OUT to my former Chicago bloggers – you girls all rock! It was a pleasure walking the runway with you!

Fall has officially arrived, and depending on the weather outside your door, it may be difficult to go full-on fall with cozy sweaters and suede over-the-knee boots. To get into the season without taking on the dark colors, I am telling you to try on B L U S H – yes, blush, not pink. Even if you aren’t a “pink girl,” take a look at blush options for fall. Think of blush as nude with a little warmth brought on by the pink tint, making it wearable for everyone. Blouses and dresses look especially chic, yet feminine and not in a girlie girl way (in case that’s not your thing). Blush also works with neutrals you already own like camel, black and navy. Today, I decided to go completely blush (both pants and sweater are from a recent Forever 21 purchase) while pairing it with one of my favorite faux fur vests. What do you think of this outfit? I would love to hear from you!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and have a lovely day!

This past weekend I spent a gorgeous fall day playing dress up while my husband snapped away with our camera. Not only is my hubs an artist behind the lens but he’s got an eye for color pairings and a thirst for adventure. Lately we have been hunting down places to shoot because let’s face it: It gets boring looking at the same old backdrops over and over again, and I must admit: I love wall art and/or colored walls. They are the perfect backdrop to make images pop!

Anyhow, today I’m featuring a new favorite color of mine: Blush. It is such a warm and fun color, don’t you agree? I ordered this dress from OASAP because of its amazing color. Wait…You don’t feel comfortable wearing it because you think it’s too girly?! Or maybe you love the color but don’t like to wear it near your face if it doesn’t complement your skin tone? If either is the case, consider incorporating the color into your wardrobe through dresses, skirts or pants. Lose the excuse that you’re not young enough, confident enough, or too “creatively challenged” to wear this lovely color.  It can be as cool or as classic as you style it.  Make it work for YOU!

And before I forget:

I have an amazing coupon code for you! I teamed up with Mellow World to introduce you to their New Fall Collection 2014! Head on over to their website and get 10% off your purchase when you use coupon code: MW10VWEAR! Also, if you spend $75 you’ll get a FREE Tiffy Bag!
