Beyonce’ Street Style and #GlitterBoots: Get The Look

There’s so much conversation swirling around the infamous YSL Glitter Boots.  They’re the ultimate statement in terms of allure and glitz during this time of the year!

Beyonce’ shared photos wearing a hot, date night look on her social media account.  The celebrity was seen in a pair of thigh high glitter boots, denim hot pants, and graphic t-shirt.

Her accessories were over the top.  Beyonce’ layered gold necklaces, multiple earrings, and an extended belt.

For the everyday girl, spending over a thousand dollars for a pair of boots can be out of reach.  Luckily, retailers have re-created this accessory for an affordable price.

Everyday Style and Lookbook Inspiration: #OOTD or #WIW

Recently, I have shared some of my personal looks on social media or as it’s said on Instagram #OOTD (outfit of the day) or #WIW (what I’m wearing) because I want to provide inspiration in terms of everyday style.

It’s always fun to play dress-up but what about the day-to-day hustle of getting dressed?  As women, we wear so many hats and it’s often difficult to find something that’s appropriate to wear.  My job on this blog (and through consulting) is to provide style solutions and I’m going to do just that!

You can also shop my looks via Amazon or additional retail affiliate programs.  I decided to set up those links because I receive inbox messages asking where did I find certain clothing items.  I may not share the exact piece but you will find something similar if it’s available.

So here we go on this new journey!  Send me a message at kim@stylelifefashion.com or let me know if you need style advice.

Do I have the perfect shape?  No, I’m actually very short.  Do I have an hourglass figure?  No, I’m actually pear-shaped.  Do I wear a size 0?  No, I’m actually petite and curvy at the same time.  We have more in common than you think but the difference is that I dress according to my body-type!

H&M Festive Season Collection: Embellishments and Minimalistic Accessories

If you’re the type of girl who likes cutting edge style on a budget, then H&M is the place for you.  This on-trend, chain retailer can rarely be ignored with its mixture of modern and glamorous pieces.

How many times have you walked over to those big red letters?  How many times have you asked, “Where did you get that handbag?”  Or how many times have you glanced twice at someone’s dress?  If the answer to either of those questions is yes, then you too love H&M.

The festive season collection is now available in-stores or online. From viewing the collection, one can see there’s a metallic shoulder bag, rhinestone earrings, and sweatshirt with tulle sleeves.

H&M is a top pick in general when there’s nothing to wear or when you need some style inspiration!

The Blazer Craze: Ann Taylor’s Take on Workwear to Streetwear

This fall, there’s one wardrobe staple that can be spotted everywhere from the runway to work meetings to brunch: the blazer.

Ann Taylor combines their classic, tailored aesthetic with an on-trend effortless vibe in the brand’s new blazer styles – ranging from cropped to relaxed and tweed to jacquard.  Pair each topper with trendy tie sleeves, ankle pants, or chic dresses to add a polished touch to any look that transitions effortlessly from A.M. to P.M to weekend.

BILLY’s comfortable basics are multi-directional and can be elevated or slouched in. Attention to silhouette brings a casual-elegance, enhanced by hand distressed and hand screened details.

BILLY favors black-and-white, with colors sourced from the best tones of weathered vintage fabric.

One Tribe Apparel White Peacock Kimono – Global Inspiration

 

It’s almost time to transition our closet for cooler temperatures.  Creating a capsule wardrobe is the best solution to this change.

What is a capsule wardrobe?  It’s classic pieces that can be worn several seasons. The concept is that one can look inside their closet and create multiple outfits with only a few select pieces.

I am an advocate for capsule wardrobes because they make clothing organization easier. One can also dress faster with this type of wardrobe.  There’s no fuss or the age-old question, “what should I wear?”

One Tribe Apparel shipped a beautiful White Peacock Kimono as part of their Boho Kimono Collection.  The company seeks to create clothing for travelers through art and fashion.

I’m incorporating this beautiful Kimono (transitional piece) into my Fall capsule wardrobe. Take a look at the White Peacock Kimono below:

The use of coordinating accessories made her look very distinctive.  Yara cinched the waist with a plum-colored belt and metallic pointed-toe heels.

Fashionistas can appear taller (with natural curves) by wearing a belt in the same tone as your outfit.

Soft Surroundings Artist Topper | Easy Well-Made Style

Bohemian style is the concept of wearing clothing that’s free with flowing fabrics. It’s the perfect summer option because this style allows one to layer clothing and accessories.

Soft Surroundings is one of my favorite retailers.  The company specializes in soft, luxurious designs.

How does this relate to style bloggers? They have well-made affordable pieces for all age groups.  On-trend shoppers can find a Tie-Dye Jumpsuit while seasoned shoppers can purchase a Terry Pull-Over.

The company collaborated with this post; shipping an Artist Topper.  This versatile piece is lightweight with red tassels and kimono style sleeves.

The topper (in the photo below) was paired with a Felt Hat, Denim Shorts, and Ankle Booties.

Additional style ideas include wearing with High-Waisted Leggings or Jersey Dress. Visit your local Soft Surroundings for more easy, well-made style!
