Inspired Style

Hello lovelies, 
Today I'm super excited to present the lovely lady pictured above named Mikayla. Mikayla recently reached out to me because we are living in the same area and there is a lack of bloggers, so when we found out we both ran blogs we hopped all over the chance to collaborate. You can check out her blog at popgabble.com to see the fashion post I wrote out talking all about how to be inspired by the looks of Zoe Kravitz. Mikayla took the details on Zoe's style and created her own take on the trends Miss. Kravitz likes to play around with! 

I'm going to give you all of the photos first so y'all can try and find the bits that were inspired by Zoe, but don't worry, at the end of this post I'll talk all about Mikayla's ideas behind the outfit and exactly how she was inspired by Kravitz. 

Also make sure to check the bottom of the post for all contact information for us both. 

Let's hop on into the inspired look with some pictures of the beautiful Mikayla!

Inspired by? 

When I began to ask Mikayla how exactly she was inspired by the looks of Zoe Kravitz the first thing she was sure to touch on was the fact that Zoe holds such a unique fashion sense. The way Kravitz seems to go out of the box with just about any outfit inspired Mikayla to step outside of her own personal fashion style and mix it up a little with a different hair style and a bold printed maxi-cardigan. One of the biggest points Mikayla had about Zoe's style is that the woman can wear anything, throw on a pair of sneakers, and look absolutely perfect. The fact that something as utilitarian as a pair of sneakers can become such a predominant fashion decision is something that Mikayla really fed off of and tried to play around with in this look. Mikayla called it the "gift" of being able to pair sneakers with any type of clothing! Another focus point of this whole inspired look was Mikayla's choice of arm candy. Something about the way Zoe can take very classic pieces and add them to her out-of-the-box style is very intriguing. Mikayla tried to play this up by adding her beautifully handcrafted JORD watch made from natural woods and scratch proof glass! This simple clean cut and bold watch was the perfect detail to pull together the whole outfit!

Thanks so much for popping in and stay tuned for more collaborations from this amazing lady and I!

Hello Friends!!!

I'm back today and breaking the boundaries of my blog.

We aren't going to stick to a specific section of the blog today, instead we are throwing them all together with my current favorites!

I'm going to talk to y'all a little bit about some items in my life that I've currently been loving, so lets get right into it!

1.) Light Wash Denim Jacket

This light weight, light wash, denim jacket has been a go to for me lately. It's recently been getting a little toastier down here in South Carolina, so it's out with the thick winter coats and in with the light weight jackets. The color and wear of the denim make it a perfect piece for the spring and an easy piece to throw on with almost any outfit!

2.) White Ball Cap 

It's no secret that lately I've been not in the mood to do my hair so baseball caps have definitely been my best friends. I picked this white one up at a thrift shop, and I haven't put it down since. In my opinion a ball cap is the best way to hide the dirty hair and still stay stylish! Hats in general are a super fun way to spice up an outfit.

3.) Funky Coin Purse

Since it has rolled around to the Spring season I wanted to add a little pop of color to my mostly monochromatic looks, and this fun little coin purse is just the way to do it!

This "it's a GOOD DAY" pouch came from my local Marshall's and I'm very pleased with this purchase. The short saying on the front really is effective for a mid-day pick me up!

4.) Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil

Moving right along to hair care! Ever since I got my hair bleached and dyed blue I've been making sure to take extra care of it whenever I wash and style and this hair oil by organix is the prefect thing! I can definitely see a difference in the quality of my hair since I've started using this product! Not to mention the smell is quite lovely. 

5.) The Help

THIS BOOK. I've been absolutely engulfed by the marvelousness that is The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I'm sure many of you have seen this movie, but the book is even better. Set in Jackson Mississippi in 1964 this book takes a look at what it was like for the colored help working for white people and everything that comes along with it. Along with the joy of reading a great book I've also found that reading and taking myself to a different place mentally helps tremendously with my anxiety and everyday worries!

Well folks, that wraps up my current favorites!

I hope you enjoyed and maybe found a few items you'd like to try for yourself.

Let me know in the comments what some of your current favorites are!!!

Thanks for the read!

Fashion: Get Her Look

typical loren vibes

Hello my sweets!

I'm right back at it today with a lovely "get her look" post for you all. 

I saw the gorgeous Miss. Loren last night and, just like every time I see her, I fell head over heels with her outfit. Once again I saw her personality in what she was wearing and for me that's part of the key to looking fabulous in any clothes! 

Because I loved her look so much I asked her if I could take some photos of her outfit to share with you all and she happily obliged!

Every Item Loren is wearing came from Goodwill!

Links for similar clothing items will be located at the end of the post.  

Let get down to it!

Fashion: Everyday Purse

fashion

everyday purse



Hello darlings!
I'm popping in today to share a little bit about my favorite everyday purse and why I adore it.
On Christmas Eve I was lucky enough to open up this lovely gift from Caleb's cousin Hannah. She knows me so well! Hannah bought the bag from a store in the Greenville, South Carolina mall called ALTAR'D STATE! This exact purse isn't available anymore, but there is one on the website with similar leather and the same pattern that I will link at the bottom of this post if you feel inclined to buy this beauty! 
Let's get to getting!



First of all I absolutely adore the pattern and neutral color of the purse! As soon as I opened it up Gran told me "Oh wow, that's perfect, it will just go with everything!" and she was exactly right! The leather the bag is made of is super soft, so it's not uncomfortable to carry around. Another #1 for me is the fact that the purse is a satchel. I love satchel bags because it leaves me hands free and that is a must for me. 
(I tend to loose things if I'm carrying them in my hands.) 



The next beautiful part of this bag is the hardware. I love the simplicity and clean lines of all of the added details, and the light gold finish compliments the colors of the purse so well. As you can see in the picture above the satchel strap is detachable so I can also carry the purse just as a clutch, but like I said before, I tend to loose/leave behind things that aren't attached to me so for the most part my strap stays attached. 

THREE DIFFERENT SECTIONS, PEOPLE! 
I know this bag looks small on the outside, but when you open the envelope style front you can see that there are three different sections to this bag. An open front section, an open back section, and a small section in the middle that is able to be zipped open and closed. I love this set up because the different sections allows for optimal amount of organization since each section isn't so large. 

The middle section of my purse is probably the section I use most. The fact that inside the zipper pocket there is a card holder attached to the bag. This makes it so easy to grab and go with your id, debit card, or whatever card you use the most! Such a handy detail.

Hi lovlies,

Today I'm bringing you a post about this man's style. 

Teiji Mack 

Recently I've been walking around school and seeing a few people that have been inspiring me with their fashion and Mr. Mack was one of them. I decided to put my anxiety to the side and ask the man about his style and I'm quite glad I did. His outfits always seem to express his personality, so when I asked him what inspired him I was excited to find out that, once again, he is one of those people that just puts on clothes because he likes them. 

No inspiration, just how he feels. 

This inspires me because it made me think that when you love what you wear and you are comfortable you look your best because you're confident in what is on your body! 

Now let's get into his look!

WHERE HE GOT IT:

-Shirt: He made it 

-Shoes: "I got my shoes 4 years ago, back when people used to actually camp out for Jordan's..."

-Hat: Goodwill

-Jacket: Ebay

-Jeans: His black jean collection

Thanks for stopping by. There is plenty more to come!

Hello Humans, 

Today I'm bringing you a get the look post featuring a super awesome human called Wyatt. I've been asking Wyatt for a while to let me snap some shots of him for the blog because his Clothes are always representing him to a Tee and I love to see somebody's personality in what they wear. 

When I told Wyatt why I wanted to take pictures of his outfit he responded with "Hell yeah! That's an amazing compliment because I just put on whatever I feel like in the morning...I don't know...I just like clothes, man." 

That, my friends, is the exact kind of person I want to photograph. 

People who just love clothes!!!

Without further ado, here are some photos of Wyatt and his threads.

Get Inspired, 

Paige

fallen 4 (faux) fur

The cold is here to stay, people!

Recently there has been talk of snow and although I'm in the southern part of the United States I will keep my hopes high that I might just need the fur pieces I have been lusting over this season! 

Throughout the fall and winter months I've absolutely fallen for fur and the little pop of texture it can give to an outfit. With that being said today I want to share a few of my favorite fur pieces I have come across throughout my journey of falling for fur! 

p.s. all fur in this post will be faux! 

Zara Faux Fur Coat

Topshop Purse Pom Pom 

ASOS Faux Fur Scarf

Bomber Jacket with Faux Fur Collar

I sincerely hope that you have a new found love for fur and strive to incorporate it into your style in even the simplest ways like the purse pom I have linked above. Texture is an immediate way to add interest to an outfit and faux fur has quickly become my texture of choice. (:

Fashion: Most Worn Shoes

most worn shoes

HELLO LOVELY PEOPLE!

I'm happy to announce that I am back and hopefully for good! Sorry that I was M.I.A from my blog for so long. My computer ran out of storage along with my phone so I didn't have a way to upload photos, but that is old news! I'm here and ready to kick this year off with my most worn shoes! I'm a huge fan of shoes, not only because I would rather not step in gross stuff without them on, but because putting on the right pair can pull together a whole outfit!

Let's go ahead and hop right into the first pair.

WHITE LACE UPS

These babies have been worn a few too many times, but that won't stop me from wearing them a few too many more. I love these shoes because they are a simple white flat and they can pull together almost any outfit! White lace ups should be a basic in any wardrobe. Of course they look much better when hey don't have gaping holes in the front for your toes to peek out of! 

CONVERSE

Sticking with the white theme the next pair of my most worn shoes I have to show you are my converse. Converse is such a classic brand and they are also really comfortable to walk in. I was lucky enough to have mine given to me by Caleb as a christmas present, but even if you have to buy them yourself they are well worth the money you will spend. No matter the color converse are a perfect shoes to chuck on with just about any outfit to stay stylish and comfy throughout your day! 

NIKE'S 

Another classic shoe is the Nike, and my black pair is definitely one of my most worn set of shoes. I love this style  of Nike because they are simple, stylish, and once again comfortable. As a college student comfort is key with footwear and these puppies are perfect. You can easily throw these on with jeans and a t-shirt, or you can add them to a more polished outfit and they will look just as amazing because of the color and splash of pattern on the back. Although I've only had these for a short period of time they have quickly become a staple in my growing shoe collection. 

BLACK BOOTS

If you don't have a pair go out and buy some now because you are bound to need them more than once in your life. I bought these black boots at a vintage thrift store in downtown Greenville years ago and I have since worn them to a state of almost death. Once again these are a basic shoe, so it's quite easy to make an outfit out of them. Over the years I have altered mine to have a cut out near the ankle so I can show off all of my quirky socks, but cut out or not a black boot is a must!

If you've gotten this far thanks for coming along for the ride! Let me know in the comments what your most worn pair of shoes is and why you love them so much! 

I'm always in the market for a new pair (; 

So long for now, 

Paige
