Aqua Skull Scarf

Helmut Lang Oversized Pullover

 Buffalo Jeans Faye c/o

Boutique 9 Booties

Chanel Jumbo in Light Beige

My favorite accessory in the winter is a scarf. They're relatively inexpensive (depending on what material/brand you buy), and the come in many different fun patterns for you to mix and match! The one I'm wearing here is from Bloomingdale's brand Aqua, in which I paired with super casual clothes--an oversized pullover from Helmut Lang in which I've been living in this season, and a pair of comfy fleece jeans from Buffalo Jeans. I decided to stay with neutrals but you could honestly wear any kind of scarf with this outfit. Keep your outfit simple, and let your accessories do all the talking!

 Banana Republic Turtleneck Sweater

Banana Republic Skirt

Burberry Heels

Tweed is a material that I find super classy, that you can take throughout the seasons. From tweed skirts to dresses to jackets, there's kind of enough tweed out there for anyone's taste. This skirt I picked up from Banana, I've been wearing in the office during the winter--equipped with a turtleneck or a sweater of some sort. 

These Are a Few of Our Favorite Things || {Holiday Gift-Away}

Abercrombie & Fitch Sweater

Zara Skirt

Giuseppe Zanotti Heels

Baublebar Necklace

Bychari Necklace

The weather is definitely getting cold and all I ever want to do is wrap myself in a blanket and have that be my outfit for the day. Definitely not presentable...so a fuzzy sweater comes pretty close. Kind of obsessed with this navy one from Abercrombie & Fitch. The color is pretty unique, and the sweater itself is super comfy to wear. Needless to say, I've been living in it.

Gorjana Ring

Accessorizing these days is everything..am I right?! You can wear a plain outfit and deck on some baubles and BAM...you got yourself looking a million bucks. Complete outfit changer.

The thing about jewelry is, it's expensive. I invest in pieces that I think are amazing (some statements, mostly dainty ones because I just love layering them and the way they go with all outfits), but I realize that I tend to just rotate my pieces and mix and match, but am always looking for more to add to my collection. My favorite solution to this is Rocksbox. For $19/month, you can get a subscription in which you get $200 of jewelry in each set sent to you doorstep and you can pretty much wear it for as long as you want, and send them back when you're done with them to get a new set! Plus, if you love it enough, you can permanently add it to your collection by buying it for a discounted price. It's pretty awesome. I tried it out and fell in love with the Loren Hope cuff and Gorjana ring (see pictures above), and have been wearing them pretty much to everywhere I can. 

Oh and the best part? You can set a style profile and pick the kind of jewels you want (earrings, bracelets, necklaces, etc), and whether you want statement or dainty or both! So check them out here and try it out for $9 for your first month with the code beyourbrightest.

Hi all! Happy Pre-Friday! I'm super happy to share that I have partnered up with Piperlime to style a look for their #momentsofchic campaign. I have been a huge fan of the site for years and a loyal customer ;)..so you can imagine how ecstatic I was to be able to do this!

If you've been following my blog for a while, you know I have a weak spot for florals...and thanks to my friends over at Piperlime, I have yet another beautiful floral piece to add to my wardrobe! I decided to pair it with a simple striped sweater, dainty gold and silver jewelry and my new favorite black heels for a walk around my neighborhood. My favorite thing to do is to pair print with print. In order not to be overwhelming, pick a color that resides in both prints (which is black in my case)!

How would you style prints?

Bell Curve Dress c/o (25% off with code 'SAMANTHA25')

Schutz Lace Up Heels (in silver and nude here)

Diane von Furstenberg Crossbody 

Holiday season is in full blast and all I want to do is wear pretty dresses and embellishments and glitter and prance around because I'm loving all of this Christmas cheer. Decorations are up and nothing can make me happier. I've been playing around with outfit ideas for what to wear during all of these upcoming holiday parties...and you better believe it all involves metallics/glitter/glitz... :) 

One of my favorite dresses for the holiday season is this bell curve dress from Fevrie. The relaxed fit makes it easy to dress up and gives it a really down to earth, effortless look. Since the dress is a darker color, I decided to pair it with fun gold accessories--my favorite lace up heels from Schutz, and my lip crossbody turned clutch from DvF.

For another holiday look check out my previous post, here.

A bit late on this Thanksgiving post but I'm writing it on Thanksgiving so does that count? Haha I am super thankful for my supportive family and friends. I'm also super happy and grateful to be able to have met so many amazing people from blogging. You guys are my inspiration and really help me keep this blog going even though I've been working absolutely insane hours at work an don't think I ever have time to dedicate towards the blog.

 Lookbook Store Off The Shoulder Top c/o

J Brand Jeans (or here)

Boutique 9 Heels

Baublebar Necklace

Bychari Necklace

Gorjana Ring

I find off the shoulder tops really sexy and a bit flirty--something about showing more skin in the shoulder area that really does it for me. This top kind of takes the cake though for femininity. The peplum shape definitely hugs your form in the right way and creates an illusion of super curves, which is definitely my go-to whenever I need a quick and easy feminine look. 

Throw on a pair of jeans, and a pair of fun heels and you got yourself a casual weekend look--perfect for a hang out session with your girlfriends or a date!

 Zara Top

Banana Republic Cardigan

J Brand Jeans

Salvatore Ferragamo Pumps

Chloe Lizard Marcie Bag

Sometimes all a girl wants is a simple weekend outfit--classic prints and maybe a good pair of jeans. Guys, I think I found my perfect pair of jeans. These J Brand pair I'm wearing are absolutely perfection. Kind of a strong word but I mean every bit of it. They have more of a stretch than the usual J Brand jean but check out the frayed hem on the bottom. It gives off an unfinished look,  but I love it--especially since his style fits my leg length very well. For the most part jeans bunch a little on the bottom for me since my legs are not as long enough, but these jeans hit the cake--so much so that I ordered a similar pair in black! Stay tuned!
