A MYKONOS ADVENTURE

posted by Elshane on Aug 12 2015, under Fashion

Riddle me this... What's white and Tiffany blue and chic all over?

Mykonos town brings it home with charming cobblestone streets that rival the it-life maze of Italy's Capri town. Only difference is Capri is stacked with couture, and Mykonos with local shops and mixed designer boutiques (très chic)!

Although nothing beats spending an afternoon at one of Mykonos' daytime party beach clubs (did someone say Nammos?), the "walk, shop, and eat around town" vibe comes in a close second.

I mean, these streets speak for themselves! Come get lost with me as I weave around, picking up local trinkets along the way... ;)

MAJOR IN MAJE

posted by Elshane on Aug 24 2015, under Fashion

I completed the Beverly Center's Fall Fashion "Show Us Your Style" challenge!

Rewind. Let me explain...

I've partnered with the Beverly Center {for those who don't live in or around LA, it's an epic mall with wall to wall designers from Jimmy Choo and Dolce & Gabbana to Uniqlo and quite possibly the world's largest H&M} to complete a head-to-toe fall fashion lewk from the mall for under $250. One rule? I could only use two accessory-only items from my current wardrobe to complete the look!

So to the mall I went! I could have hit H&M for a multi-faceted, extraordinary layered look equip with jewels, handbags, and jackets galore for under $250-- but I had to stick to my roots-- I have expensive taste.

Bloomingdales was a natural first stop. I picked up this $187 (on sale!) Maje dress and paired it back to my personal hat and slouchy boots for an effortless and clean intro to fall vibe.

Ok, ok. I wish I could have thrown on some sunnies and a stack of bangles, too. But I wanted to follow every rule! There's something nice about going au natural, right?

Come join me and fellow blogger babes at the Beverly Center fall fashion event on Wednesday, September 2nd! See you there. xo

EL IN WONDERLAND

posted by Elshane on Nov 28 2016, under Fashion

This dress is reversible, let's start with that.

I don't think I've ever owned a great reversible item before. My husband, who makes clothing for stores like Walmart, Sears, Target, etc, was always trying to sell me on his men's reversible shorts idea. I was always like, "Ehhh, next idea please," time after time. But now, I think he might be on to something...

This dress excites me because I feel like I have two dresses in one- -and they both serve very different purposes. The orange snow leopard is an obvious nod to my everyday colorful life, but the black --almost menswear tie- inspired -- printed dress is perfect for a quick night out. 

Kenzo x H&M did it-- they mastered the two-fer! I'm sold. Literally. Sold.

A RAINBOW A DAY

posted by Elshane on Mar 28 2017, under Fashion

Throwing a camo jacket over this blissful rainbow ensemble was a last minute door dash for me. And I'm ever so thankful! It took what was otherwise a classic case of happy fashion and threw a cool girl wrench in the middle. 

Camouflage has always been a neutral to me (yes, so is leopard and rainbow, but still), so it was an easy grab over this colorful lewk. It works. I dig.

SIMPLE FOR SPRING

posted by Elshane on May 3 2017, under Fashion

It's pretty hard for me to just put on a dress and shoes. {Ok, clearly by this photo I couldn't resist myself yet again-- I had to add the embroidered cardigan for some of the shots.}

But, I will admit, there is something special about a simple look. I naturally gravitate to separates because it allows me to mix and match a look to truly style an outfit as my own. A dress can feel so inside the box...so cookie cutter... so beige. 

But even I surprise myself sometimes with how easy a gorgeous dress can make for simple styling. It's really as easy as 1 (dress), 2 (heels), 3 (smile and go)! 

And in the blink of an eye... you're flawless...

CHECK MATE

posted by Elshane on Sep 5 2017, under Fashion

Pass me an exaggerated sleeve and dare me not to werk it!

This dress gives me all the feels... the bow, the sleeve, the gingham, the leg. It's one of those dresses that is a welcome closet addition because it's truly like nothing else.

It's a teaser into fall fashion. Something that doesn't yet scream- ICEBERG RIGHT AHEAD. And also doesn't scream- AT THE BEACH BOY!

Plus, it's on sale for $60. Click my shoppable links below to check her out!

STOP FOR RED

posted by Elshane on Oct 17 2017, under Fashion

You don't have to sell me twice when the hottest color of the season is also the brightest. I'll jump right on board, and dip in head to toe!

Red for fall is here and it's packing a powerful punch. The runways have shown it worn as coats, sweaters, pants-- both denim and trouser, and boots, boots, boots! 

The trick about red? It comes in two variations-- with a blue undertone, or with an orange undertone. Depending on your skin/hair tone, you may prefer one over the other. Me? I show no loyalty-- I'm team BOTH shades. (If you can tell, my sweater has an orange undertone, and my shorts blue).

I've included some of my favorite must-have RED pieces in my SHOP THE LOOK section below! Happy shopping!

METALLICS FOR FALL

posted by Elshane on Nov 9 2017, under Fashion

It's pretty easy to spot one of fall's biggest fashion moments this season: SILVER METALLIC!

What's great about this trend is that if you invest properly, you can end up with a timeless, and potentially seasonless piece, just like this effortless dress that is intricately woven with blue and silver metallic. Worn in fall with boots, or spring with a sandal, this silver investment piece will last for seasons to come.

Can you just picture a sparkily silver metallic moment on the Kira Kira Instagram app?! {Who loves that filter as much as me?!}  Plus, silver is so easy to style-- simply pair the statement item back to basic black and white for a look so fresh and clean!

Take a look at some seasonless silver metallic items I recommend in my SHOP THE LOOK section below!
