STRETCHY TUBE SKIRT + BASIC TEE

July 10th, 2012 13 comments

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 )

Building Blocks

July 8th, 2012 30 comments

Wearing bright colors for summer is just an easy way to lift your mood. One of the most famous trends this summer is color blocking. It has been around for awhile but this season, it is everywhere. Color blocking can be a little challenging in terms of color coordinating but it’s a trend that everyone should try at least once.
Florals jeans and neon jeans are great to wear right now and the safest way to wear them is put on a clean white tops that suits your body shape well. The reason I say white tops is that it will be a central item to calm and balance out all the bright colors while helping elongate your body. In the summer I find this especially useful for color blocking. For shoes, you always can wear any neon thong sandals for a casual day or a pair of neon pumps for a dressier occasion. And don’t forget the final touch to complete the color blocking trend is a pair of statement earrings or a chunky necklace. I wore this look out to work and to my meeting this week. Have a creative Sunday ;-)) xoxo Nini

Zebra Jumpsuit

July 6th, 2012 17 comments

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
