Just Take Me To Paris

by Christie Nowels


Paris will forever hold a special place in my heart. As much as I'd love to jump on the Eurostar every weekend, it just doesn't always happen so I decided to bring that Parisian style to london.

If you haven't downloaded the ASOS app, I'm apologising now for your next daily tech obsession. We all know Ecommerce has taken over but the App world is where it's all happening. The easy interface and simple click through system made it super simple to pick out my Parisian look within 5 minutes. With premier unlimited delivery, a simple annual fee of £9.95 gets you next day delivery for the year. Talk about a super saver!  As much as I enjoy the traditional shopping experience, I'm loving those "voilà moments" (aka DPD text updates) - your package has now arrived...

Every chic Parisian has a pair of mom jeans and after searching forever, I finally took the plunge. ASOS Farleigh Jeans have been in my saved cart for awhile, but always sold out in my size. Let me tell you, the wait was worth it! I was so impressed with the soft quality of denim, genuine comfort and total steal of a price. I couldn't help myself and also get this classic black belt, cap and striped sweater, all from ASOS to make my whole look très Parisian. 

A little ASOS haul never hurt anybody, right?! ;)

Furs & Flares

by Christie Nowels


The two most important F's in every fashionista's closet: Furs & Flares.

Everybody loves a causal Friday at the office, but why wear the same pair of jeans and boots every week? For me, fashion should always be fun and that includes at the work place. A dark pair of flares are a retro chic way to recreate any denim look. I recently found these 7 For All Mankind flares and they have quickly moved to the top of my denim drawer. The slimming cut hugs my body at just the right spots and the visible buttons dazzle for a 70's-inspired flare. The darker hue could not be more ideal for transitioning from day to night for some after work drinks or meeting up with a special someone. 

Season after season, the statement fur shows no sign of slowing down. As much as I'd love a "Look at me!" colorful Shrimps coat, my style is much more classic and this H&M faux fur vest ticks every box. Ideal for layering over a turtleneck like I did here or a long dress with an OTKB, my fall staple is a must-have for those cozy fall days. Comfortable and versatile, the combinations are endless.

As a true Florida girl at heart, I'm trying to wait as long as possible before throwing on my heavy parka every morning. (ugh) The cold weather may not be my best friend, but the fall and winter fashion styles most definitely are.
