Blonde in the District

I am always up for shopping local. In fact, if presented the opportunity to shop a local brand or mainstream brand, I will almost always choose local. This goes for all shopping, but specifically regarding local boutiques, as I really love to support the local fashion community. Top from Undeniable Boutique One of my favorite local shops is Undeniable Boutique, located in Mosaic District and Fairfax Corner. Undeniable Boutique is a well curated boutique where you will find so

Todays post is short and sweet. I had full plans of writing a post for International Women's Day on March 8, however I wasn't able to post one in time because.... life. This month has been insanely busy thus far, but its better to be busy than not, so I'm counting my blessings.

This past fall I was introduced to Stitch Fix and decided to try them out, first hand. If you aren't familiar with Stitch Fix, they are an online styling service that picks clothing and accessories fit to your personal style and delivers them directly to your door. The brand has options for women sizes 00-24W and XS-3X (including petite and maternity); and men's sizes XS-XXL. To be completely up front here, I never thought I’d like the idea of having clothing picked for me.

While we had a little taste of spring weather last week, the temps are back to frigid cold and from the looks of the weather forecast, its likely to stay this way on the cooler side for a bit. I honestly can't say I'm upset about the cold - call me crazy but I prefer cooler temps over the extreme heat any day. One reason I like the cold weather is the accessories that come with it. Hats, scarves, gloves, and coats. I love accessorizing for winter as its an added layer of styl

Real talk- every intention I had of writing a Merry Christmas post was thrown to the wayside over the holidays as I developed a terrible stomach flu. I spent the holidays wallowing in self pity in bed, with very little energy to do anything. I'm feeling much better now, but I'm seriously bummed that I missed out on really enjoying the holiday. That said, I'm ready for New Year's Eve so I can make up for the fun lost over Christmas. I hope you all had a beautiful Christmas hol

For as much as I love color, I still find myself going back to my #allblackeverything ways from time to time. At one point, almost everything I had was all black and I barely wore color. The past year I decided to embrace more colors into my closet and its been a positive change for me. That said, there is still something about wearing an all black outfit that is so classic and chic to me. While the holidays are all about red and green and gold and silver and everything spark

Todays Gift Guide is one that I have been looking forward to since I came up with the idea a few weeks ago. As a crazy cat lady myself, I love to gift and receive gifts geared around my beloved interest of cats. Being a kitty lover, I have embraced bringing cats into my personal style. Incorporating cats into my style has been a great decision for me, as it makes me smile and thinking about my Chloe girl, but its also a way to show who you are! Cat hair slider by one of my fa

Hahaha, you all know I had to title this post with a pun! Today's post is total pearl-fection, staring a trend item that is quickly gaining traction- pearls. Pearl embellishments are popping up everywhere recently, and I'm not mad about it. Being born in June, the pearl is my birthstone <well one of them, I guess Gemini's get 2 gemstones, lol> and I find pearls to be beautiful and their creation in oysters is unique and intriguing to me. I started to notice the pearl trend ov

For my third day of BITD thanks, I'm dedicating this post to one of my absolute favorite brands, ELOQUII. If you've followed BITD for some time, then you know all about my style journey with ELOQUII, and how much I love them for making quality, stylish, and well fitting clothing for women size 14-28. ELOQUII is a brand I have been working with for almost a year. In this year I have worked on events, campaigns, and collaborations that have shaped me as a blogger, and deepened
