Cool Classics

Sleeveless trench: Ann Taylor (similar here) // Shoes: c/o Marc Fisher (also love these) // Shirt: Zara (similar here) // Jeans: Topshop // Bag: Gucci // Hat: Hat Attack // Sunnies: Karen Walker 

 This outfit is all about a new take on the classics. A basic white button down becomes cool with an oversized shape and pockets; a trench coat feels fresh without sleeves. These shoes are also a new classic. Instead of just a basic black bootie, the style is given a modern edge with an open toe and cutouts. An of course, my favorite distressed skinny jeans pull the whole look together... I am a little guilty of wearing them with everything lately. I hope everyone has a great rest of the week, and thank you for stopping by!

Hello Everyone! Happy Tuesday... Today TQLC is thrilled to introduce you to Rue-La-La's new shopping guide for handbags. I have always considered handbags to be the perfect accessory... they are useful, beautiful, and they always fit (and never pinch your feet like shoes).  This guide has inspired me to share with you my favorites handbags and what I keep inside.

What I carry in my handbag depends on whether I'm headed for a night out or I'm tackling my daily to-do list.  For a night out, I love using a cross body bag so I am hands free. In addition, I make sure I have plenty of lip colors for a touch up, and a little translucent powder to keep away shine. I also always make sure to throw a mini-hand sanitizer in my bag. 

For the daytime, I carry everything but the kitchen sink. Some of my favorite essentials include my Mini-mergency Kit (which has everything from a nail file to spot treater) and my Well Kept electronic wipes. These little sanitizing wipes leave my phone super clean and free of bacteria and makeup smudges. They also come in adorable packages that come in a variety of patterns. Just like for a night out, during the day I carry extra makeup and lip colors for touch up, including rosebud salve that can double as a touch up skin balm and lip gloss. During the daytime, I often tote around my headphones (perfect for listening to a little T.Swift 1989). I especially love these chic rose gold pair by Frends. 

I hope you enjoyed taking a peek inside my handbags... don't forget to sign up for Rue La La to get member's only access to great flash sales on the best designer loot out there. And check out their Handbag Style Guide the next time you are shopping for a new bag! 

Thank you to Rue La La for partnering on this post.

Modern Frill

 Dress: H&M  // Shoes: Valentino (and here) // Bag: Gucci // Ring: c/o Kendra Scott // Sunnies: Karen Walker // Bracelets: David Yurman and Madewell // Lips: Tom Ford 'Pink Dusk'

 Happy Monday! I can't believe it is November, seriously where does the time go? I guess it is true that time flies when you are having fun, because between DC and Dallas these last two weeks, I have had my fair share of excitement and of course a little shopping.  I found this mod dress in Dallas and I couldn't resist it's structured fabric and fun frill. Another thing I couldn't resist, the affordable price point.  I love retailers like H&M, Zara and Mango that make high fashion accessible to everyone. Saving on trendier items allows me to save up for the closet power players on my wish list, like a great pair of shoes and a timeless bag.  I hope everyone is having a great week and thank you as always for reading!

Shop:Mini Pocket Trousers Booties 

As If

 Sweatshirt: Madewell // Skirt: Madewell // Jacket: Maje (similar here) // Boots: Stuart Weitzman // Bag: Whistles // Sunnies: Karen Walker // Lips: Nars 'Yu' // Jewelry: David Yurman // Ring: c/o Kendra Scott

 Happy Monday! This look is inspired by one of my favorite movies of all time, Clueless. I re-watched it not too long ago, and I guess the 90s are back, because most everything Cher and Dion were wearing looked right at home in 2014. If you haven't watched it in a while, it is totally worth a girls night in. I loved this skirt and sweatshirt combo... they look perfect paired together, but also are great as separates for fall and into winter. My little silver backpack, helps to play into this fun school girl vibe. I hope everyone has a great beginning to their week, and thank you as always for reading.

3. Hat
4. Gray Jeans
5. Blue Jeans
6. Feather T-Shirt 
7. Gray Booties

To combat my usual sea of black, a mix of navy and gray creates the perfect color combo for fall. I hope you are having a wonderful Friday and thank you as always for reading!

Jumpsuit up

 Jumpsuit: For Love and Lemons c/o Mulberry Dreams // Vest: Mango // Belt: J.Crew (old, similar here) // Bag: Vintage Chanel (found one on eBay here, and similar here) //Shoes: Schutz // Gold Bracelet Set: c/o Ann Taylor  (50% of the proceeds go towards fighting breast cancer) // Silver Bracelets: David Yurman // Sunnies: Karen Walker // Lips: NARS in Cruella

Happy Wednesday! I have been traveling a lot lately (last week I was in D.C. and this week I'm in Dallas) so I am always looking for day to night pieces that I can dress up or dress down. A jumpsuit is a perfect solution probably because it is a no-brainer all in one outfit. This For Love & Lemons jumpsuit in particular is perfect because you can wear it to work with a jacket (or vest), and remove it for a night out to expose the open lace back. Head to Mulberry Dreams' Facebook or Instagram to shop this jumpsuit and other great pieces. I hope everyone has a great rest of the week, and thank you as always for reading. 

Falling for Fall

 Blanket scarf: Zara (love this similar one here and here)  // Sweater: Zara (similar here) // Hat: HatAttack Jeans: Madewell // Boots: Stuart Weitzman (similar and less expensive here and here) // Bag: Gucci // Lips: Nars in Train Bleu // Ring: David Yurman

Happy Monday! Last week I was in D.C. and I was thrilled to experience some real fall weather. Not that Florida weather isn't beautiful, but this time of year it is falling leaves and crisp air for the win. I wore this outfit to dinner in Georgetown with Rob. We decided to walk and I was happy to have the additional warmth of this blanket scarf that I wore as a cape. I love how something as simple as a well-styled accessory can transform a basic grey and black outfit. I hope everyone has a great week and thank you as always for reading.
