Leather and Lace

{free people 'stars align top', h.i.p Quilted Skater Skirt, Steve Madden Ankle Booties, Francesca's gold headband}

When it comes to my wardrobe I have always been a fan of both leather and lace, so I often find myself gravitating toward these materials. And every so often they even find there way into the same outfit. I think pairing the combination of a feminine piece with a masculine item creates an interesting contrast and makes an outfit a bit more intriguing.

(Musical Festival Inspired) Summer Lookbook

A week ago I decided to put together a Summer Lookbook inspired by some of the greatest music festivals in the world: Glastonbury (UK), Coachella (California), and Austin City Limits (Texas). This was the perfect video to say goodbye to Austin and I loved putting it together. I'm hoping to put together more exciting and fun videos now that I'm in California. I hope you enjoy and be sure to subscribe to The Social Boutique on Youtube.

Factory Girl

Jun & Ivy Neon Printed Top and Skirt, Urban Outfitters Sunnies, Steve Madden Boots, American Apparel Headband

I have a thing for breezy crop tops and this one, with it's neon splattered paint pattern, has instantly become my go-to piece for this coming spring. I paired it with the matching skirt (perfect for lazy days).

 I look forward to wearing it with high-waisted shorts, colorful skirts and other fun prints.

Animal Instinct

Shirt from Nordstrom BP, Skirt from Forever 21, Shoes by Steve Madden, Sunnies by Micheal Kors, Headband from Topshop.

So here's the thing… Lately, I've been sorta completely obsessed with adding every animal species on the planet to my wardrobe. Some recents add ins include foxes, polar bears, and zebras..OH MY! From leopard, to zebra, and beyond, it seems every member of the jungle is finding it's way to the runway these days and of course into my closet.

Home For the Holidaze

Shirt & Sweater from F21, Jeans from Dillards, Sunnies from Beehive, Headband from Topshop, Shoes by Steve Madden

When I want to wear a basic outfit (my current staples include a random top, black jeans and matching boots) without it feeling too plain, I incorporate one standout piece. I bought this fuzzy sweater this past November, and its weight is perfect for Austin "winter." It's been declared by various people as the softest thing ever. 

Autumn Classics

Shirt by Topshop, Sweater from Nordstrom BP, Skirt from Francesca's Collections, Shoes By Vince Camuto

Since we don't really have leaves covering the ground in Austin, I make an effort to create a pile when  I come across them in more earthy settings. Thankfully, I was wearing some of my favorite riding boots that I've been practically sleeping in since the arrival of Fall. They're just wide enough so that I can casually throw them on over jeans (and pair them with skirts), but still manage to look polished. 

~Autumn Vibes~

Ardmore Striped Sweater, Francesca's Skirt, Steve Madden Motorcycle Boots, Forever 21 Headband 

I often speak very highly of Autumn, because it is my favorite time of the year. The holiday season is among us, the weather is perfect, and of course Starbucks has its Carmel Apple Spice. Another reason why I adore this time of the year is we all get to rock oversized sweaters, snuggly scarves, and of course riding boots galore.  

Sweater Weather

Dress-Forever21, Sweater-Topshop, Necklace-Icing, Boots-Steve Madden, Sunnies-Charming Charlies

I've have accumulated quite the collection of white lace dresses over the years. But because I happen to be a lover of winter white and I happen to rock a lot of these frocks during summer & spring, I'm not too concerned. I've worn this one several times since I got it, and I love that despite its feminine details, this dress can handle a tough masculine jacket just as easily as a thin sweater layered on top.

Mean Girls

For those of you who haven't seen the cult classic that is Mean Girls, my shirt probably comes off as a little mean, but I can assure you it is only a quote. As a movie buff, I can honestly say that in my day-to-day life, Mean Girls is my most quoted movie, so when I came across this Brandy Melville tank that is very popular in the Tumblr world, it was the easiest purchase of the summer.

 Tank-Pacsun, Skirt-Topshop, Shoes-Forever 21, Sunnies-H&M

The Spotted Line

Shirt/Skirt-TopShop, Ankle Boots-Forever21, Sunnies-Micheal Kors

I'm not one for Polka-dots. For the most part they make me feel like a dalmatian, but when I stumbled across this black and white crop top, I couldn't help but pick it up. The black and white makes the top neutral and ready to be paired with anything, from some high waisted shorts, to this awesome cobalt pleather skirt. 

Graphic Tees

TShirt-Nordstrom BP, Shorts-Forever21, Steve Madden Sneakers

This past weekend I was lucky enough to hit up the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. When I stumbled across this MTV graphic man tank, there was something quite nostalgic about the piece. When I was in elementary school I would rush home to watch whatever celebrity would be on TRL that day. Don't get me wrong I still watch MTV, but this shirt 

  was the perfect way to reminisce on the old MTV that actually was known for being a music television channel. 

 

Coral Cut-offs

Shirt-A'GACI, (Jeans cut into) Shorts-Gap, Sunnies-H&M, Shoes-F21, Headband-Nordstrom

Finding the perfect pair of cut-offs is a lot harder than you’d think (I often have doubts that they even exist). They need to be fitted enough so they have some allure but without verging on cheap looking. And lets not even get started on the length. When I think I’ve found a pair that’s just a bit on the short side, the minute I sit down, I feel like I’m wearing hot pants.  So I encourage you, to do what I did with the pair in this post and cut them yourself. Its something that has been very popular among my friends this summer, but be sure to do your research.

Summer Stripes

Top-Forever21, Skirt-H&M, Shoes-Dillards, Sunnies- Michael Kors, Headband-Francesca's Collection

My infatuation with stripes (anything nautical really) started in the ninth grade, it slightly faded for tenth and eleventh, but inevitably started up again when I found this striped crop at Forever21. Stripes are a tricky concept and can easily be unflattering but I found that this cropped, shortened, slim-fit shape was the perfect way to incorperate this trend for the summer. 

Summer Lookbook

A few weeks back I had the honor of being asked to contribute to a Summer Lookbook by beauty guru Julia (I'mjustbeingjulia). It's a fun little video that was a blast to make, and I hope if gives y'all some summer inspiration. 

Be sure to stop by & check out her channel as well. 

Garden Party

Plaid Shirt-Dillards, Skirt-H&M, Shoes-Forever21, Sunnies-H&M

Theres something about plaid that's extremely comforting and something about flared skirts that is extremely familiar, so it was only a matter of time until the combination presented itself to me. Darker plaid usually feels heavy, but when paired with a such a feminine skirt I find that the masculine top is now spring/summer appropriate.
