Style Profile--Kayla

My good friend Kayla came to town and stayed with us for a few days and we decided to take some outfit pictures. 

She has a great sense of style and isn't afraid to express herself.  She doesn't try to fit any kind of norm, but goes for things that inspire her, that she can appreciate on an aesthetic level.  She's not afraid to be ironic and have fun.







Kayla enjoys a lot of ring action!


And she has one of the coolest cigarette cases I've seen in a long time.





You may remember this blazer from here.  I lent it to Kayla to play around with and I love how the same garment and can work for two very different women in very different ways.



More ring action and some major bracelets, but the crochet vintage purse gives this a bit of sweetness.



According to Kayla if you're going to wear skull jewelry, then you better bring it the f*ck on! Skull necklace AND earrings.




After our outfit shoot we decided a beer was in order:


As you can see Kayla uses jewelry and accessories to create her unique style.  For the most part she wears leggings and dresses, but she always makes them her own.  As for me, I was a sorry sack during our photo sessions and just wore clothes!!!!!


Not the most glamorous I know, but I was in photographer mode on this day.

  1. Great style! Your friend reminds me of the church ladies I would see on Sundays when I lived in Detroit. They would go by wearing bright dresses and the most over the top hats you could imagine, they put fascinators to shame. I would have looked ridiculous in a hat like they wore but they looked fantastic. They were so cool. Like your friend's style, you have be it to wear it.

  2. I like that Lisa, "You have to be it to wear!" That could be my new mantra.

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set. Here's a referral link to also become an ambassador for discounts ...
