MAD FOR PLAID

The other day I saw this double plaid dress from Altuzarra. The top and the bottom are in different colors of plaid and they blend together so well. It inspired this plaid on plaid look. And it only shows that it never needs to be two matching color sets of plaid. Mixing them up is so much fun. This fall I'm mad for plaid. What about you? :)

Thank you so much for reading! The beginning of Sep makes me feel so refreshed and there is so much to look forward to this month. I'll be going to some runway shows and after parties for NYFW in the next few days, so let's keep in touch on Instgram @shallwesasa :) XO

OLIVE

Ever since Balmain came out with their "Jungle" collection (Last photo via Oliver Rousteing's instagram. Madly in love with these), I haven’t been able to get the olive color out of my mind.The olive colored structured dress, cargo pants and utilitarian jackets in leather and silky material are so memorable. The olive trench is not so much military style, but the color was exactly what I was looking for. It's such a wearable piece that has a structured top and a flowy bottom, which makes it both work and weekend appropriate. The flowy bottom feels so feminine. Feel free to pair it with a skirt or denim, both would be a great choice. I was wearing the jacket with a long tee this past weekend. Unfortunately, Labor Day is here and it’s the unofficial end of summer. Don’t fret, though, because this jacket will be great for Fall.

Loves, Fashion Week is finally here! Are you guys ready to NYFW with me? Stay in touch with the latest on my Instagram @shallwesasa. Thank you so much for reading and have an amazing Labor Day!

MONOCHROME CHECKER

I love revisiting the checker pattern with my new checker blazer. Do you guys remember the Grid on Grid look and the Checkmate look? The checker skirt, checker blazer and checker pants are all to die for. Oh, and don't forget the checker slip-ons from my previous outfit on Wednesday. I think checkers in different types of scale and materials are still having a moment right now. My love toward the design really drastically picked up after the Louis Vuitton Spring 2013 ready-to-wear runway. I still remember those checkers. Checker stands out, is so easy to spot and never gets boring. If you're looking for something to make an impression, I totally recommend going for it. Do you own any stylish checker items in your closet? :P

Thank you guys so much for the comments and all your support! Hope you all have a great Labor Day weekend! XO

DARE TO BE CASUAL

I don't remember when the line between sportswear and ready-to-wear was as blurred as it is today. Athletic wear for outside the gym has never been as stylish as it's been nowadays. Sneakers, slip-ons and Birkenstocks are everywhere. Along with all of this, my style is evolving as well. I would have never worn such a dressy piece, this beaded skirt, with slip-ons before and would have opted for with a pair of stilettos instead. This pair of slip-ons I've had for a while now and have only worn it with more casual items like denim shorts or track pants. I've wanted for sometime now to create a look with a dressy feminine beaded skirt and sporty casual slip-ons. Experimenting with this look made me so excited and only furthered my passion for look that mix dressy and casual pieces. Do you feel the same? 

Thank you so much for reading! What have you tried to style that you would have never though of trying before? Enjoy your Wednesday:) XO

FALL INTO ME

I've been craving a pair of midi length rolled up denim shorts for a while now. These shorts give me a more boyish but yet effortless chic look. I found a few of them that are pretty awesome like this one and this one. End of the summer sales make these prices irresistible. I can totally see myself wearing them into the fall season. I wore these shorts with a loose top to create my favorite silhouette in order to make my waist look slimmer. This fall into me sweater has a really cute high low hem and material that breathes, which makes it really comfy to wear. The outfit is one of my favorite looks for the end of the summer:) 

Hope you all had a great weekend and have a great Monday:)XO

LADYLIKE

 I've been living in pencil skirts lately. Why have I been so in love with them? Why not is what I think:)

-It accentuates your body's curves

-Covers up your thighs

-Gives you that ultra-feminine look

-Is both work and after-work appropriate

The pale blue lace pencil skirt I wore in this outfit also has a high waist, which makes my body proportion look better. I wore it with a blazer to add a layer for these recent breezy mornings and nights in NYC. 

I picked a few pretty lace skirts for you guys to check out. So are you ready to enjoy your weekend with your new pencil skirt? :P Thank you so much for reading and have an amazing weekend:) XO

COLD SHOULDER PART TWO

Do you guys buy the same item in different colors sometimes when it's too hard to choose among the colors or you just simply love them all? Isn't awesome to have the same beloved item in a rainbow of colors? Haha, this was exactly what happened when I saw this off shoulder top. Do you guys remember the same top in lime that I wore with a pair of J Brand jeans? Lime gives that pop in the summer, but white is so pretty and easy to match with almost everything. It was really tough for me to give up one of them so I bought the white one as well. In this outfit I'm wearing it with a pencil skirt. A versatile piece that can easily go with so many different items to create a different silhouette and style.

A lady like look definitely needs some feminine and trendy accessories to go with it. I love wearing rings and having a ring party on my hand. It makes the whole look more sophisticated. Sometimes I feel a bit naked when I"m not wearing any accessories. It's a very important part of my daily routine. These rings are from Anarchy Street.
