Faux Leather Moto Jacket For Everyone!

4 Nov

I wear moto jackets year round, but especially during Fall when the weather is cool enough for a jacket but not freezing enough for a longer coat. I found a cute faux leather jacket at Target for $40 and had to share it with you all! It comes in a variety of sizes ranging from Small up to XXL so This is literally a moto jacket for everyone! It comes in black & burgundy and at this price, you can buy both! I wear mine over dresses or with jeans- it’s the perfect edgy-chic Fall jacket to dress up or down.

Pink Suede Pumps: Just Do it!

27 Jan

Let’s be honest, some of us are “pink girls” and some of us aren’t. Whether or not pink is your thing, you need pink suede pumps!  Let me tell you why. First of all, you can wear  pink suede pumps with pretty much anything and they look especially amazing with pants. If you think pink is too girly, you can pair pink pumps with ripped jeans or an all black ensemble to off set the girly vibe and go for more of an edgy look. If you can’t find a shoe to match your outfit, throw on pink….believe it or not, it matches everything. I’m starting to think that pink is a neutral, LOL! Lastly, pink can be LOUD, but the classic silhouette of a pointed toe and the rich suede texture bring the perfect balance to the heel. The bottom line is pink heels look great on everyone, and you need some!

Check out these images below of some looks with pink heels and you’ll get to see for yourself that pink heels are a must. I also will link pink heels for every budget for you to shop as well.(scroll down to shop)

Blanket Scarf!(Under $25)

11 Nov

If you buy only one scarf this Fall/Winter…..let it be an oversized plaid blanket scarf. The print is bold enough to add a nice pop of color to any outfit without being overbearing. Blanket scarves can be worn in various ways with t-shirts, tucked into coats or over even a dress. They’re cozy and so quintessentially Fall.

Modcloth has the perfect plaid scarf and it comes in different colors. Priced at $24.99, it’s a great way to update your cold weather wardrobe without breaking the bank!

Have a great weekend,

Summer is fast approaching and every girl needs a fresh pair of sneakers to lounge around in comfortably, while staying oh so chic of course!

Kimono Style! (Take 2)

28 Feb

Last Spring I wrote a Kimono Style post sharing my love for the light and airy pieces.  This year the kimono is going to be HUGE, I’ve been trying to tell the world for the last year and people are catching on! Last year’s post is getting so much traffic but most of the links are sold out since it’s been so long. I’ve decided to do today’s post and include shoppable links to plenty of kimonos that are available NOW! I have included petite,plus size and tall size kimonos as well….No fashionista left behind here! Ready, set shop! These are just some of my favorites, but there are many more at Asos (one of my favorite online shopping destinations, They have petite, plus size and tall sizes for many of their clothes!)

P.S. Throw your kimono over whatever the heck you want! They look great with jeans, shorts, skirts, over dresses etc!

Happy shopping,

xo, Journey

All About The Bootie!

30 Dec

I love boots in all forms, but I am especially fond of the ankle-ish height of the “bootie”. I love how they can be worn year round and in many ways. This shorter sister to the traditional boot can be thrown over leggings, worn with shorts and dresses. Jeans can be tucked into, bunched up or rolled above them. The possibilities are endless! Below are some of my favorite booties I’ve come across in recent months. I personally love wearing my jeans tucked into or scrunched up with my booties, but there are NO rules! Scroll down for some bootie inspiration from celebrities and style bloggers, proving you can rock your booties any way you want!
