OUTFIT DETAILS: JEANS | JACKET (40% off!)| BOOTS | LIPSTICK | SUNGLASSES | BAG

If you know me, you know how much I love a good denim on denim look! Over the years jean jackets, chambray tops and just a good pair of blue denim jeans have been some of my go to staples in my closet.  The western look is a big trend for fall and I love how Wrangler has always had the most classic pieces that will last for years. I was so excited to look through their denim pieces and pick out some of my favorites to create this denim on denim look!  They are so versatile and I love that not only do they look good paired together as one all denim look, but the pieces are all perfect individually too. I really love this jean jacket paired with these cute acid wash jeans and white boots, but the jacket would also be cute with white or black denim as well as over a cute dress in the summer.  I love wearing denim year round and there are so many fun ways to wear it!

To dress up this look a little, I added some fun bright accents that really pop.  The all denim look paired with a colorful lip and bag makes the outfit perfect for a night out with girlfriends!  Are you trying out the western trend for fall? Do you prefer the head to toe denim look over just one piece of denim in your outfit?  Xx Christine

Is anyone else as obsessed with Rachel Zane from Suits’ work wardrobe as I am?! I love all of the classic work looks so much! Still so sad she’s not on the show anymore! Since I don’t dress up for work every single day, I love finding a good event like this one at Saks Fifth Avenue to stock up on work attire so that I have new cute pieces ready in my closet for meetings! Nothing makes me feel more confident in a meeting than a cute, polished outfit 🙂

The best part about buying work outfits like this is that all of the pieces can be mixed and matched.  This sweater would also look so cute tucked into a pencil skirt or high waisted jeans and heels…and these pants would be so cute with a button up tucked in them too!  

If you know me, you know how much I love a good leopard accent! I have had these shoes on repeat! To me leopard is definitely a neutral and a print I have been wearing for years. One of my all time favorites! If you don’t have a pair of leopard heels in your closet…now is the time during this amazing sale!

Lastly, top off your look with some lipstick and you are ready to take on the day! Check out the event going on at Saks where right now you can earn a gift card up to $700 [including beauty]! (Use code SEPT2018)

There’s nothing like finding a perfect blouse that’s classy enough to wear to the office, but also stunning enough to dress up for a night out. I’m obsessed with moody green tones for fall and was so happy when I found this silky billowy sleeved dream!  ADEAM has some beautiful new pieces that are perfect for any fall occasion and are staple pieces you’ll have in your wardrobe forever. This top is my absolute favorite, I love the contrast of the buttons against the dark green and how flattering the silhouette is. It pairs perfectly with high waisted trousers, a skirt or even your favorite pair of jeans. I’m also loving this structured black clutch. I love the shape and handle.

Is green a color you normally are drawn to to wear? Shop more of my favorite ADEAM pieces below!

Is there anything more convenient than Amazon these days?! In our house we love to order as much as we can from them. I have been using Amazon Fashion Prime Wardrobe when I am on a shopping spree so I can try on lots of things I want to buy without having them all hit my account at once. That way I can try it on at home and figure out what I love and matches the best with the rest of my stuff. Right now I’m on the hunt for my fall shoe staples. You probably saw my stories a couple days ago showing you guys some of my favorites I was adding to my cart. I narrowed it down to these two! So so versatile they match with everything. A pretty neutral loafer. I actually have these in black and white I got last year and wore them so much I want to add another color. Second was these leopard heels.

Animal print is very trendy this season but honestly leopard print never goes out of style and it’s a pattern that mixes REALLY easily with almost anything. Don’t be afraid to mix other patterns and textures with shoes like these pretty leopard heels!

The details:

-Fill your box online with 3 or more items

-Once the items come to your house you get 7 days to figure out which items are your favorite to keep and which you want to return! (Only available to Prime members)

-They send a prepaid mailing label with the package so whatever you don’t love you can just send back in a resalable box.

-You only pay for what you decide to keep!

Moms…who else dreads dragging their kids into the mall?? This has become such an easy way for me to get cute outfits to my house and lets me pick multiple items I love at once. Have you tried out Prime Wardrobe yet? Click here to start your own box. Can’t wait to hear what you guys think!!

10 Ways to Wear The Accessory That Never Goes Out of Style

Guys! I am so excited to share this fall campaign we shot a couple weeks ago! I am always looking forward to fall fashion. There are endless layer options and countless accessories, but one of my favorite accessories is one that you’ll wear year-round – eyewear! Whether it’s eyeglasses or sunglasses, eyewear is really one piece that fully completes a look, and it’s crazy how a different pair of frames can totally transform a look.

After I had Beckam my eyesight got worse! I don’t know if that’s a thing of if it was coincidence, or was just a part of aging, but my vision isn’t as strong as it used to be. Funny thing, in high school I ALWAYS wanted glasses. I tried to purposely fail my eye exams so I could get my parents to buy my glasses. Didn’t do a good enough job faking it 😉 so I always bought plain lens frames (without a prescription) because I loved glasses to much!

Now that I have a true need for them, I love getting to add glasses to my looks. To be honest, I somehow always misplace them though! I usually have my sunglasses spread out all around my car, house, and bags so I always have a pair somewhere, but I only had a few prescription glasses so I’ve been on the lookout for new frames to have them handy. LensCrafters has so many of my favorite brands: Michael Kors, Coach, Tory Burch, and so many more! I’m obsessed with their fall styles! Below are 10 frames I picked out and 10 ways to style them. Which one is your favorite??

hello fashion blog

| LOOK 1 | : BLACK GLASSES – 0HC6120

Glasses are like shoes – you can never have too many options! I’m always taking mirror selfies to help me figure out which accessories I like best with an outfit, whether it’s shoes, bags, or glasses.

tortoise glasses

maxi dress

| LOOK 2 | : TORTOISE GLASSES – 0TY2071

No two tortoise patterns are the same, but these might be my favorite! I love the color variation in the tortoise pattern. It brings in so many pretty tones that accentuate any eye color.

favorite glasses

aviator glasses

| LOOK 3 | : BLACK WIRE FRAME GLASSES – 0MK3024 |

Wire frames are one of my go-to when it comes to eyewear. I love that these throwbacks are in style right now!

statement sunglasses

statement sunnies

| LOOK 4 | : GOLD DETAIL SUNGLASSES – 0TY6061 (ALSO AVAILABLE IN OPTICAL FRAMES HERE)

Obsessed with the gold detailing on these sunglasses! It’s hard for me to find a pair of sunglasses that is different from anything I already own, but these are really unique. The gold detailing will make a statement without overpowering your look.

blue glasses

 

| LOOK 5 | : BLUE TORTOISE READERS – 0MK3023

Date night ready! Love the subtle blue in these tortoise readers and they add a sophisticated balance to this night-out ensemble.

| LOOK 6 | : COACH SUNGLASSES – 0HC8240

One accessory I wear in 99% of my posts – sunglasses! Love this classic black pair that will go with anything.

hello fashion blog style

| LOOK 7 | : TORTOISE GLASSES – 0HC6120

How you dress will always affect how you feel. Even when I’m working from home, I can tell a difference in my productivity those days that I get ready and the days I lounge in my sweats. It’s definitely a mental thing, but I think the same is true of glasses! I always feel a little more confident and capable when I’m wearing my glasses.

aviator sunglasses

ray bans

red and black

| LOOK 8 | : RAY-BAN SUNGLASSES – 0RB3025

My eyewear collection – like my closet – is full of neutrals, but don’t underestimate some great colored options! I always love a bold shoe, and these aviators are the perfect way to tie in the metallic blue from my sandals.

| LOOK 9 | : GOLD WIRE FRAMED GLASSES – MK3025

Ready to curl up with a magazine! I’m trying to get better about wearing my glasses at home, and this pair makes it so easy! I’m obsessed with all the wire frames that we are seeing this season, especially in gold.

| LOOK 10 | : TORTOISE GLASSES – 0HC6102

You can never go wrong with a classic pair of tortoise frames. Glasses are the easiest way to tie in subtle patterns or colors to pull your look together.

DETAILS: STRIPED PAJAMA SETVICHY’S LIFTACTIV RETINOL | VICHY’S LIFTACTIV VITAMIN C SERUM | VICHY’S IDEAL CAPITAL SOLEIL SPF 50

Happy Sunday! Sundays are the day of the week I do my weekly skin maintenance and pampering. Good skin is all about getting in the habit of a skincare regimen. I think most of us know this by now. 🙂 But that involved daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly care.

If you think about it, a good skin day starts the night before. You should always be using a Retinol every night. (If you have drier skin, or are just trying retinol for the firt time try layering a moisturizer over or altering every other day.)  I used to be hesitant about using a Retinol because my skin is so sensitive, but I love Vichy’s LiftActiv Retinol – it’s a powerful antioxidant (Vitamin A) and helps accelerate cell turnover on the skin’s surface and reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles. It also has Vichy’s Mineralizing Thermal Water which is at the core of all the Vichy products and one of my favorite ingredients – it has 15 different minerals that strengthen and protect your skin against daily aggressors like pollution, stress, and fatigue. If you haven’t tried a Retinol yet, this is a great one to start with.

Two products you should be consistently using in the morning are a sunscreen (I know I’m sounding like a broken record, but seriously – never skip it!) and one of my new recent favorites I’ve shared recently, a Vitamin C serum. (Love Vichy’s LiftActiv Vitamin C Serum – you can read more about why in this post.) These products are all great for sensitive skin too (they’re paraben-free). The combo of a Retinol, SPF, and Vitamin C serum is the most recommended anti-aging regimen by U.S. dermatologists so you want to make sure you are religious about using these three!

I always get a ton of questions about my skincare routine, and I love sharing my favorite products but I think the biggest thing in getting great skin is being consistent! I think we are all really good about doing our full skincare routine when our skin is acting up, but it’s so easy to start skipping steps when your skin is back on track. Being consistent with your skincare routine is the best way to get consistently good skin, so I wanted to put together my skincare schedule with things you should be doing on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. Is there anything you guys do differently?

If you don’t have these 3 core skincare products, head to Vichyusa.com and use code CHRISTINE18 to get 20% off and free shipping. Let me know what you guys think!
