Fall Finds | Dressing for an NYC Fall

Posted in Fashion
on 10/19/2020

It’s me! Back once again, on my little corner of the internet. It’s cooling down up here in NYC and I am desperately trying to snatch up any coat/jacket/sweater (that’s on sale) to keep me warm. Granted I’ve pretty much spent most of my free time lately, I figured I’d help you if you’re in the same boat. So here’s a nice long list of a bunch of fun fall finds that I want on my body this szn! Now I’m not a big fall gal, but seeing the leaves change up here is getting me a little excited to actually be able to wear a sweater in October and not be dripping in sweat!

With that being said, I’ll go ahead and break down some items on my fall wishlist this year! Maybe ya’ll can share some with me too? You know I’m always down to spend money I don’t have!

JACKETS (a new concept for me, tbh. I am loving dabbling in this ish!)

BOOTS (cowboy and combat is all the rage this year)

PRO TIP: SPEND MONEY ON BASICS YOU’LL REWEAR SZN AFTER SZN (JACKETS, DENIM, NICE BOOTS)

SWEATERS

JEANS

ACCESSORIES

 

Hope y’all are into these pieces like I am! Let me know if you need help shopping for anything else this season!!

Not your mama’s jeans | My favorite mom jeans under $40

Posted in Fashion
on 03/02/2019

I know what you’re thinking. Ew, no. How am I ever supposed to look cute in mom jeans? I could never pull those off blah blah blah. Well, I’m here to tell you that you can and will be able to pull them off after reading this post. I was one of those skeptics but once I found the right pair and figured out how to style them, things were AMAZING. So amazing in fact, that they are now my most worn pair of jeans in my closet. HUUGE FAN. I’m never turning back!

The ultimate key to pulling off mom jeans is to balance out the looser fit with something tighter on top. If you arne’t a fan of tighter tops or bodysuits, I say a cropped shirt will do the trick too. Showing off that figure is what makes the jeans work. Frumpy with frumpy is what’s not gonna make them work. So stick to cropped or form-fitting on top. My favorite way to style mom jeans is with a bodysuit. I always find the best ones at Forever 21 or Boohoo, NastyGal, Asos, places like that. I’ll link some of my favorite bodysuits below.

Now onto the good stuff: these jeans. They’re on sale right now (don’t you love that) for under $30 so please snatch up a pair! I actually cut off the hem of mine for a distressed look and I love the way they turned out. Once you break them in, they’re the best. Super comfy and they can be super flattering (if you style them right). Basically what I’m saying is go get you a pair of mom jeans: they really are all the rage right now!

The look for less: racing stripe jeans

Posted in Fashion
on 01/10/2019

Hi hi! Happy Thursday people, let’s make it to the weekend in one piece. We only have one. more. day. We can do it!

Y’ALL KNOW I AM ALWAYS BALLIN ON A BUDGET. There is no high like one you get when you get a great steal! Which brings me to why we are here today: these AMAZE racing stripe jeans. If you have been keeping up with fashion in any capacity, I am sure you’ve spotted a pair of these. I’m happy to report this trend seems to be here to stay! There’s so many variations of the racing stripe jean which is great news for us bargain hunters because it means we can get the look for less. 
jeans (ON SALE FOR $25) // top (similar) // shoes // hat (similar) 

I’ll let y’all in on a little secret because I love ya. Two words: Abercrombie jeans. No really. I am NOT KIDDING. When I think of Abercrombie I am immediately transported back to junior high when everyone exclusively shopped at there. It was truly the peak of graphic tees and denim skirts then. But now, Abercrombie is one of my go-tos for an amazing sale. Their denim is honestly pretty great. It revels some of my favorite high-end jeans and that’s saying a lot coming from me!

I’m obsessed with the colors in the racing stripe- they’re not too bold which is great because you can style with almost anything. I love a good basic look as much as the next girl so I just paired them with a white button up top, neck scarf, and for funsies one of my felt hats (hat lady @ heart). Ooh, wait I forgot I would literally be doing you a disservice if I didn’t mention these shoes to y’all. MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE WORK SHOES. So no surprise I own them in two colors right? They are so comfy and a fabulous way to elevate any outfit.

I’m linking alll of my favorite racing stripe jeans for any budget below, including the ones I am wearing which are now ON SALE FOR $25. RUN! DO! NOT! WALK!

Why you need a pair of cropped jeans + how to style them

Posted in Fashion
on 08/30/2017

Alright y’all, hear me out. Cropped jeans– your new fall staple. Trust me on this. I have to admit I was a little bit nervous to hop on this train but hey, I did it, and I sure am glad. They’re definitely going to be a staple in my closet this fall. I feel like they elevate any casual look. Did I mention they’re hella comfy? Yeah, let me show ya how to rock these things.

jeans | platform sneakers (similar) | tee | sunglasses | earrings | crossbody 

I wanted to keep the entire outfit simple so I just paired the jeans with a keyhole cut out tee (is that what you even call it lol) front-tucked to show off the buttons. This tee has been one of my faves this summer and fall. It’s so great to be able to style it for any season. I’ve done it with jeans, a denim skirt, denim shorts, black skirt… you name it and I’ve probably paired the two together lol.

Given the shorter length of the jeans, I felt like I needed a shoe with some height. These fun platform sneakers were a steal at $22 from my local Dillard’s outlet. I’m still sneaker crazy y’all — sorry not sorry about it. A platform sandal would be another good option too!

The Jeans

These bad boys are Free People and they’re hella comfy. The button detail on the front is so fun and I also love the seams up the front (they lengthen your legs). They’re under $80 and well worth it. I found a pair very similar under $40 which I’ll link below for y’all!

Lots of love,

Madison

PS: How amazing are these pics? Shouts to my pal, Elie for em! Y’all have to go check out this portfolio here (insta) and here (website)!
