Structured Pieces

DETAILS.
Black Collared Top // Pale Pink Pleated Skirt (on sale over 50% off) // Leopard Boots (on sale - 25% off code: FAMILY) // Chanel Bag (similar under $200 here) // Sunglasses // Ring

I have really been drawn to structured minimal pieces lately so when I came across this black textured top, I knew I had to have it. Its clean lines, modern neckline, and boxy fit give it a current feel. To complete the look, I coupled it with a pale pink skirt (on sale over 50% off). The pleats add a basic element of contrast to the look without straying too far from the ensemble’s minimalism. These crisp, clean styles are timeless for a reason and add instant class and sophistication to your look. Below are a few more  modern pieces I'm loving:

ASOS WHITE Textured Sweat with Funnel Neck - Black

Raffia Pants with Tuck Detail - Navy

ASOS Organza Detail Wool Parka - Navy

Leather Anorak - Navy

Longline Bomber Shirt Dress in Silk - Navy

Twill Culottes - Khaki

Structured Blazer - Gray

Pleat Back Dress - Navy

Pleated Skirt

Lately life has just felt good! I think clothes and color really speak your mood and feeling, and lately it's just been a lot of bright colors. I was browsing the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (see my picks here if you missed them) last week and found this clearance tweed blazer. It looks expensive, and costs under $35. Those are the kind of deals we all like right? But my favorite part of this outfit is this dress. The geometric line print over the neons makes it more dynamic. It will work great in Fall/Winter too with tights and some knee high boots.

Below are a few more bright items I'm loving:

ASOS Pleated Midi Skirt in Colourblock

ASOS T-shirt Dress in Botanical Textured Print

Neon Racer Pleated Dress

Young, Fabulous & Broke 'Fortune' Ombré Maxi Dress

Milla Neon Tweed Jacket

Adrianna Papell Pink Lace Sheath Dress

ASOS Shift Dress in Bright Floral Geo Print

Neon Patent Leather Pumps

Saloni Iris Dress

Hope your having a great week!

Top. Milk & Honey Boutique / Skirt. ASOS  (also loving this) / Bag. Old similar here & here [20% off code: BIGEVENT14] / Neon Heels. Old similar here & here

Yesterday was our dogs birthday! I never thought I would be the person who dressed up their dog or made them cakes on their birthday, but it's happened. I'm the crazy dog lady, and I shamelessly admit we are totally having a birthday party with his dog friends this weekend.

Today's look is a mix of all my favorite Spring colors. I love mixing pastels and neons. I recently fell in love with this neon stripe number from Milk and Honey Boutique. I don't know what my kick with stripes has been lately, but there my favorite. Below are a few more of my Spring picks:

Black

DETAILS.

ASOS Dress c/o (also available in pink!) / Valentino Heels / ILY Earrings

As I get closer to my due date I feel the need to savor the last couple weeks. With only a couple more weeks to go, I never thought I'd say this but I might actually miss the bump [or maybe that's the crazy pregnancy hormones talking] Either way it's fun to feel a little glam once in awhile :)

SPRING PASTEL: PINK & MINT

DETAILS:

Pastel Mint Earrings / Cat Eye Sunglasses / Pink Quilted Crop Top

Top Shop Pink Quilted Skirt / Color Block Heels / Mint Clutch

Candle / Pink Leopard Coat (just ordered for myself :) 

I can't get enough of pastels right now, especially pink. I found this coat the other day and am obsessed. I can't wait to get it in the mail. Also really swooning over these pink lace up heels. How beautiful are they? Shoes are always my favorite thing to buy. Below are a few more of my favorite mint and pink pastel picks.

Work to Errands

DETAILS:

ASOS Coat c/o / F21 Sweater (old similar here) / Heather Tee (similar here) / AG Jeans 

Christian Louboutin Heels / Burgundy and Pink Nike Shoes 

Gigi New York Clutch c/o

Being pregnant has taught me to have a more functional wardrobe. I can't run errands in heels like I used too. I still can't give them up (heels have always been my favorite accessory to an outfit) so I have started bringing tennis shoes with me to switch into after work. This is what I picture the NYC life to be, and for a few seconds I feel like a big city girl as I switch out my shoes :)

Stripe Sequin

DETAILS:

ASOS Sequin Dress c/o (on sale) / Christian Louboutin / Gigi New York Clutch c/o

Stripes and sequins are two of my favorite things. I'll be honest dressing a belly can get a little frustrating (only about 10% of the things in my closet fit right now) I was needing a girly day with a little sass and this dress brought that glam feeling I needed. Just because your pregnant doesn't mean you can't have a little sparkle :)

Evening Walks + A Giveaway

DETAILS:

Stripe Hoodie c/o Albion Fit / Top c/o Albion Fit / Puffer Jacket (old similar here, loving this one) / Orange Leggings c/o Albion Fit / Leopard Nikes / Scarf 

It's Friday wahoo! Today's look is all about comfort. Being pregnant has made me appreciate comfort clothes a lot more. The second I get home from work I'm in leggings or sweats, then it's time to take little man out for his nightly walk. It's the peaceful time in my day when I can shut everything off and enjoy some time with my puppy.

 I was introduced to Albion Fit a couple months ago and fell in love with their pieces. These orange leggings are so thick compared to my other brands, which make them so great for the cool nights/days while I'm out running around. My second favorite thing about Albion Fit's collection is their long tops. Especially while I'm at the gym, I don't love having my butt showing in tight work pants. Usually I end up buying men's small tanks so I can get them long enough, but Albion's tops are already structured with the longer length. So nice! Today Albion Fit is offering a $200 gift card to one lucky reader for a work out makeover. Follow the links below in Rafflecopter to enter.

Albion is also offer a special promo for Hello Fash readers: Get $20 off any albionfit.com purchase of $100 or more with code: hellofashion20 at checkout! (exp: 11/7/2013)  

If you live in Utah you can visit their cute little boutique in City Creek on the second level by Kneaders. They have the sweetest staff and can help you mix and match and put together the perfect ensemble. 

Good Luck!

Stripes & Plaid

DETAILS:

Happy Tuesday everyone! Hope you all had a good weekend.  I know I mentioned it before but I have really been drawn to plaid recently. Something about the elegant, timeless pieces of checks has caught my eye.  I got my hair colored this weekend. I had been planning on going dark for winter, but last minute decided I wanted to add some color, and went back to my melt/ombre look again.

Who else is obsessing over fall? I can't get enough. Everyday I find myself taking another picture of the gorgeous leaves and trees. You probably notice the instagram overload. Oops! But seriously, if you haven't been to Utah in the Fall it's a must see. Yesterday when we were out doing pictures I stopped and took like 20 pictures of this strangers house. It looked straight out of a magazine, and no picture could do it justice. They had every color tree changing - greens, yellows, reds, orange. So bright and colorful. Underneath one of the trees was this old wooden bench surrounded by fallen leaves. I was half tempted to sit on it, but I felt like it was a someone's personal memento. One of those things better left untouched.

KNEE HIGH

ASOS Leather Top (similar here & here) / Joe's Leather Coated Jeans / Suede Knee High Boots / Chanel Sunglasses / Kelly Wynne Bag c/o / Michael Kors Chain Watch

Happy Thursday! This week we have been setting the house up getting ready for Halloween. I'm talking crafting 3 days in a row. The kids just get so excited for any holiday! I have always loved art, and used craft and paint monthly, but the last year or so I have let a lot of the little things slip that used to be important to me. It's funny how being pregnant has really helped me align those things back in order, even something as basic as enjoying my hobbies.

Part of the holiday set up included some dejunking in my home office. I found this leather ASOS top I had actually planned on returning, but forgot about it and missed the cut off date. I tried it on again and am glad this one didn't make it back to the store, but really the thing I can't get enough of is these black knee high boots. I think they are my favorite buy so far this Fall!

XOX,
Christine
