December 13th, 2017 by Melanie Sutrathada 6 Ways to Wear Sequins this Holiday Season
Sequins always make a comeback around the holiday season. Whether you wear them all-over for maximum drama or you prefer them understated, there are ways to wear sequins for every personal style.
Scroll on to get fancy with sequins!
Nobody does this trend better than the leading lady of Bows and Sequins. We’re loving how her sequined jacket gives her outfit that extra bit of flair.
If wearing an outfit decked out in sequins isn’t really your style, no biggie. Opt for a graphic tee with a sequined design and you’re good to go!
An all-over sequin dress makes for a show-stopping look that’s perfect for a New Year’s Eve celebration or the annual office party.
Tell me that a sequin top can’t be the life of the party, and I’ll show you otherwise!
Want to go in a more casual direction? Style a sequin top with a pair of boyfriend jeans.
Stick to wearing a solid color as your foundational layer, and pull on a gold sequin skirt for understated glamour.
December 12th, 2017 by Jennifer Beile 5 Trendy Pieces to Get You Through This Winter
While I love getting dressed for chilly fall weather, the frigid days of winter can become monotonous. There are only so many combinations of sweaters, skinny jeans, and jackets to rotate through before I get bored and uninspired. But dressing for cold temperatures doesn’t have to be boring. Be prepared this winter with a plan for style all season long.
Don’t let your style fall to the wayside when it gets cold. Create a winter capsule wardrobe to stay inspired! Take a look at five of my favorite trendy winter pieces that are a must-have for your capsule wardrobe this season!
White Boots
A trend that’s been going strong all year, white boots look like they’ll be sticking around a little longer! Winter-white boots add instant chicness to an outfit and can be dressed up or down.
Baker Boy Cap
Keep your hair in place and up your cool factor with a trendy baker boy cap this season.
Turtleneck
A turtleneck is a must-have for your cold weather wardrobe. Try a thin basic to layer with or a chunky sweater for those extra-cold days.
Maxi Dress
A long-sleeved maxi dress can be layered and dressed up or down. It’s the perfect fill-in when you’re stuck in a skinny jeans rut!
Statement Coat
A fun statement coat can be thrown over any ordinary outfit to give it that extraordinary look.

December 4th, 2017 by Melanie Sutrathada 6 Outfits to Wear to the Airport
Nobody does travel style better than fashion bloggers. Much of traveling by air is spent sitting in a cramped space, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be comfy and stylish when you arrive to your destination. Whether you’re planning to fly home for the holidays or you have plans to explore a new city, try one of these tried-and-true blogger-approved airport outfits.
Jazz up your usual flight outfit by swapping out a simple pair of blue jeans for white athleisure pants instead.
Master the art of casual chic by combining a light cardigan with your favorite pair of blue jeans. If you’re wanting more of an “I woke up like this” look (because who doesn’t?), opt for pulling your hair back into a messy bun for your journey through the air.
Planning on taking a 12+hour flight? Wear this easy outfit that won’t leave you feeling constrained. You can never go wrong with an oversized coat over black leggings.
Travel with a neutral-colored statement coat that will look great combined with any outfit in your closet.
Rule number one for flight attire: layer up! That extra jacket can be used as a makeshift pillow or a light blanket when the airplane temps are running on the colder side.
Now, tell me this outfit isn’t easy to recreate for your next flight! All you need is a loose t-shirt, ripped jeans and some mules and voila—you’re good to go.
