I’m a huge fan of pencil skirts in all different types of materials and textures. Sometimes when you find an item that fits your figure well, you end up with a small collection of that item. Since I love to wear pencil skirts, I’m always looking for a new way to rock my collection of stretchy tube skirts in a sexy way with a modern twist.

Tube skirts can be a little risky. It is hard to wear a skirt that runs the risk of showing every bump on your lower body that you are trying to hide. When you are out shopping make sure to look for thick fabric and make sure that the skirt is not see through.

Tube skirts are wonderful because they’re comfortable for moving around on an busy day, easy to pack so they’re great for traveling and they’re just plain sexy for showing off curves.

Instead of dressing it up, I like to dress it down with simple tee’s. The outfit is always one pair of fabulous wedges or a pair of over-the-top pumps away from a look you could wear out to dinner. If you want to wear it back to the office just add a blazer and lower heels. Have fun dressing up 😉 xo Nini

Get The Look:

H&M Skirt ( Option 1 | Option 2 – great for curvy girls ) 

White cotton t’s from Margiela ( Option 1 | Option 2 )

Charlotte Olympia red kitty wedges ( Lower wedges Option ) ( Another great Option for work and walking )

Hermes cuff ( Option 1 | Option 2 ) 

Who would think zebra print from head to toe could look this chic? This is the second jumpsuit that I have ever owned. When I first saw this jumpsuit at Zara I was a little hesitant to buy it. I was not sure if it would be too much print on the body and I was afraid that it would be a one-time-wear kind of item. Luckily I was with my friend and a second opinion is always helpful when you are hesitant about buying something. I tried it on at home and ended up loving it! The thing I love most about this jumpsuit that it elongates the body. Jumpsuits are in and out of season constantly. This loud print is a wonderful addition to a summer wardrobe. This jumpsuit was a few inches too long on me and instead of taking it to my tailor to hem it up I decides to take it up from the straps myself. It saved me a trip to my tailor and $20.00.
Since the jumpsuit is already so busy, I go really clean on the jewlery and accessories. I also love to shop for vintage jumpsuits. Jumpsuits are a great way to stand out at any event. But I do keep in mind that the loud prints are a seasonal thing and I always try not to spend too much money on it. Thanks for reading everyone and have a lovely day! xo Nini

I saw something great during my trip to Paris while I was walking down Boulveward Beaumarchais that I was excited to recreate at home. I was passing by a store that sells nothing but painter’s tape and I thought to myself, how cool would it be if I used the tape to make bangles…I realized it could be used for a ton of DO IT YOURSELF projects. I bought a big roll of aluminum foil masking tape before I had a specific project in mind because I knew I could put it to good use. I also picked up some small rolls of masking tape in different colors at Merci.

Step by Step:
Step 1: You can pick out any inexpensive cuffs in your jewelry drawer that you don’t wear anymore and give them a new life or just pick up some cuffs at your local Goodwill. I’m using some old Club Monaco plastic bangles.

Step 2: Measure a strip of the tape the same size as the perimeter of the outside of the bangle and cut it.

Step 3: Peel off the tape and stick it on the cuffs. Fold the sides of the tape down over the edge and attach to back side.

And there you have it. Easy-breezy! After making these, I couldn’t help but think that these bangles are something Margiela might have in their collection. Something about the uneven texture and unusual materials remind me of MMM.

Layered it back w/ my Hermes CDC cuff and ring from Paris

Have fun revamping and remaking! And remember, this DIY doesn’t require a steady hand. Be sure to tweet me and tag me in your facebook or instragram photos of your gold DIY bangles. You can find these fainter tape at any hardware store or even eBay just type in aluminum tape. Have a creative day! xoxo Nini

We’re visiting our friend’s ranch this week in Saratoga, Wyoming. For the last few days we have been surrounded by nothing but nature. It’s great to escape from the city and it’s amazing to be here and to have this quiet time to ourselves.

Wyoming is one of the more Western states. The fashion sense here is very low key and the people here are extremely kind and friendly. For this trip I packed mostly casual, everyday clothes that I don’t mind getting dirty. We spend a lot of time on a four wheeler just exploring the land and we’ve have seen elk, antelope, deer and rabbits running around. We also went out for a fishing trip in the mountains with our friend and found that the views here are breathtaking. Here are some photos that I would like to share with you. I will share more on my next post. Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you all have a wonderful day xo NINI
