the white shirt

Here is a post from ShopMasons.com I shot and styled based on transforming a white shirt into something for multiple occasions. I love the idea of buying one classic and lush piece and loving it more and more with every wear. Enjoy!


Regardless of a woman’s style, there is one thing that is always in their closet; a white shirt. Although simple and classic, it can be transformed into something edgy and now. And that is what I did with this Mink Pink white blouse.

Jeans + Blouse: Revamped- The first look features the blouse tucked into high-waisted jeans, a black leather heel, and a statement necklace. The idea of jeans and a white shirt is dressed up with it tucked in and the wide leg trouser look of the jeans. To top it all off, a mixed metal and rhinestone necklace instantly turns the outfit into something even more glamorous.

Furever Glamour- Ahh, fur. One of my favorite fashion past times. This is the perfect example of how to pull things from your wardrobe you already have. The blouse is paired with navy corduroy skinnies, a bronze heel, and then a fabulous fur jacket. The mix of textures in this look make for something elegant and exciting. Wear the blouse and skinnies to work and then add the fur on for night. Wear this to a party and everyone in cocktail dresses will be wondering why they didn’t think of that first.

Spin on the Classics- Normally, when pairing a white blouse tucked into a skirt and a cardigan over it, cool and fashionable is not what registers. But this look is just that. The pop of color in the skirt and the leopard print cardigan all work into one cohesive look. The brown clogs with tall grey socks bring the outfit into something effortless and downplays the formality of it all. Chic indeed.

little lovelies

The holiday season is full of giving and receiving but sometimes you run into a few little lovelies you just have to get for yourself!

I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Years! I am back from Keystone, Colorado where I spent a week skiing, lounging and being merry! Like I've said before when going on trips away from my beloved bloggers...back to the good stuff.

While flipping through the January issue of Marie Claire, more than the Spring trends caught my eye. Armani's Spring 2011 makeup collection was featured and I fell in love. My favorite was the way they used blue shadow and liner under the eye--which takes true skill without looking morbid. Another reason for my endearment is the fact that Megan Fox is the new face for the "Eyes to Kill" mascara. This celebrity endorsement definitely works on me.

the beautiful blue translates to the runway (probably the other way around!) in Armani's Spring ready-to-wear collection
