Bits of Style x Tobi

I'm excited to share that I have been working with Tobi to bring you a mini fall look book! The online-only fashion boutique always has the most unique pieces. They look like they came right off the runway and make for some fierce street style outfits. Tobi so kindly gifted me with a couple pieces of clothing and I'm showing you how I style them below.

Look #1: LBD Glamour 

Dress: Tobi (c/o) | Shoes: Topshop (sold out, similar here) | Coat: thrifted (similar here) | Bag: Kate Spade

 I am in love with this Valley Bolo Tie Bodycon Dress. It's not always easy to come across a chic long sleeved dress. I'm obsessed with the neckline and cutout detail. It adds a unique touch to the classic appeal of a little black dress. This LBD is just right for a night out, special occasion, or, if you're like me, whenever! Because the city is getting chilly, black tights are an essential. Sock boots give the look an edge.

A statement making dress deserves a statement making coat. I recently found this one at a thrift store in Allston, Massachusetts.  It has an old Hollywood vibe and is wonderfully over-the-top. The Olsen twins would definitely approve. It's 100% wool with a faux fur neckline, so it is very warm and well suited for Boston weather. When it comes to styling this coat, simplicity is key. This LBD is the perfect pairing.

Look #2: Fall Flare 

Sweater: Tobi (c/o) | Jeans: H&M (sold out, similar here) | Vest: Rachel Zoe (sold out, similar here) | Shoes: Topshop (sold out, similar here) | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Belt: ASOS 

This Benson Turtleneck Sweater is my new favorite piece of knitwear. The flared sleeves make it unlike any other sweater I own. I have an obsession with turtlenecks and this one makes me very happy. It's cropped, cute, and cozy. For a flare on flare look, I paired it with frayed hem flare jeans. You really can't go wrong with a sweater and jeans.

This outfit has a vintage, '70s inspired feel. A faux fur vest and western belt up the retro-luxe factor. Sock boots with a pointed toe are just the right shoe to keep my jeans from dragging. I'm really looking forward to styling this sweater many more ways throughout fall and winter. The possibilities are endless.


Thank you, Tobi, for completing my fall wardrobe!

Going Faux

Vest: Rachel Zoe (similar) | Sweater: H&M (similar) | Jeans: Topshop | Shoes: Sam Edelman | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Hat: Forever 21 (similar)

This is my all-time favorite outfit. Faux real. Day, night, doesn't matter; I will wear it any time. I love each piece of the look so much, from my hat to my ankle boots. This outfit sums up my sense of style perfectly. I love mixing classic pieces, like turtleneck sweaters and skinny jeans, with more trendy ones like a faux fur vest and wide brim fedora. Everything being black keeps the look sleek and cohesive. I added a pop of color by wearing MAC's 'Quelle Surprise' on my lips. 

I am so glad faux fur is in this year. I've always been a fan, but it's nice to get some style inspiration from other bloggers and celebrities who have embraced the fuzzy fabric. I really only wear this vest with my Topshop Petite Joni jeans, (which I highly recommend if you're short like me and looking for a pair of high waisted skinny jeans you'll want to wear everyday). I definitely want to branch out a bit and try the vest with a skirt or dress. It's the perfect layering piece, so why not take advantage of all the styling options? I'm going full faux and not looking back.

Pop of Color

Top: Forever 21 | Skirt: Topshop | Leather jacket: Zara | Shoes: Sam Edelman | Bag: Stella Rittwagen (similar) | Ring: Rachel Zoe 

It's no secret I wear a lot of white and black. For this look, I added a pop of color with a red lip and Stella Rittwagen bag I borrowed from my friend, Yael. She loves fashion too and swears by this designer. Unfortunately, you can't get Stella Rittwagen in the US. The good news is Cambridge Satchel Company makes bags that look identical. I am definitely adding a red one to my wish list.

Dressed in Black

Dressed in black from head to toe is the way to go....especially when there is a touch of faux fur. This vest is one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe. It is so fun to wear and adds texture and dimension to an all black ensemble. I'd wear it all winter long if I could, but that would be kind of strange...

Faux Fur

Faux Fur is my favorite. This vest is so much fun to wear with different outfits. Pairing it with a turtleneck sweater keeps me extra cozy. 

Pinafore Fun

Jacket: Tj Maxx | Pinafore: Tj Maxx | Blouse: Nordstrom BP | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Shoes: Tj Maxx | Ring: Rachel Zoe | Socks: Topshop

 

My pinafore is one of my favorite items to style at the moment. It can be worn with so many different things. Today, I paired my pinafore with a collared blouse, tights, gingham frilly socks, and a Chanel-esque tweed jacket to keep warm.  



Festive Fashion

 

Coat: Topshop | Sweater: Topshop | Skirt: Tj Maxx | Tights: Tj Maxx | Ankle booties: Tj Maxx | 

Ring: Rachel Zoe

 

I had a Nordstrom BP Fashion Board meeting today. We did a gift swap, drank hot chocolate and took pictures in our "ugly Christmas sweaters." Although my sweater isn't ugly, it is still festive and perfect to wear around Christmastime. My red boyfriend coat from Topshop is the perfect completer piece to this Christmas-friendly outfit.

Faux Fur Fun

I was so excited to wear my latest purchase today; a faux fur vest by Rachel Zoe. I am absolutely obsessed with it. It is such a statement piece and will look amazing with many different outfits. The faux fur trend is everywhere for fall 2013. It is on the runway, the streets, and now in my closet! I'm officially a faux-furshionista.
