June Favorites
I'm starting a new series here on my blog of my monthly favorites! Whether it's style, travel or just overall about life, I'll be sharing what's top of mind! Browse through to see what I'm obsessing over this month.
Wedding Blues
Spending a night filled with dancing, laughter, and love is all I could ask for! I love attending wedding, but getting ready and finding a cute outfit that I'll realistically only wear once is daunting - I don't want to break the bank but also want to look cute!
Styling a Feminine Black Romper
You know how much I love rompers! My style tends to me more subtle (I've really tried to get more lively!) so I typically gravitate towards neutral tones year-round. I'm also a huge proponent of leveraging pieces you already have in your closet to pull together a look.
Stripes in Santa Monica
I want to show you guys one of my favorite looks from a recent trip to LA! With 70 degrees and sun in the winter, it's hard not to channel my Seattle summer style! Keep scrolling for my outfit details and to shop my look!
Eyelet Black Jumpsuit
I'm thrilled to share this look with you! I found this black eyelet jumpsuit at Anthropologie (similar one here) in the sale section since the zipper was broken. They had a great sale-on-sale deal, so I walked out of their U-Vill location with a screaming deal! With a quick trip to a seamstress to fix the zipper, it was as good as new!
Budget-Friendly Holiday Style Tips from Seattle's Fashion Bloggers
It's that time of year again! The holidays are upon us, meaning countless parties, events and occasions to celebrate with friends and family. This time of year can be expensive, so I've brought together my favorite Seattle fashion bloggers to share their tips for how to stay stylish this season without spending a ton of money!
Everything You Need to Know About Rent the Runway Unlimited
Shopping has always been a hobby of mine! Growing up, I would love to go to Nordstrom or even thrift stores to scour the racks to find new, cute pieces. While shopping is fun, it can definitely get expensive!
Little Black Dress
A little black dress never goes out of style, but a time for it to really take center stage is in the Fall! When the weather is cooling down, a long-sleeved black dress like this one from See by Chloe, pairs perfectly with a bold lip and black leather booties. Enjoy this look book to find your outfit inspiration!
Top 10 Trends for Fall
I just got off the plane from New York, and all I can think about are the pieces I saw on the show go-ers and throughout the streets of New York. The weather was still great, but outfits moved into a Fall wardrobe. Here are the top 10 trends I noticed that will help set you up for a stylish new season!
The Best of Summer's Blue Stripes
As if one wasn't enough, I rounded up my favorite blue striped tops and rompers you've seen on my Instagram @KelseyThisYear throughout the summer! Though they may appear the same, each has unique traits that I love about it, and gives off unique, fun vibes for any summer occasion. Keep reading to check out what drew me to them!
How to Dress-Down Your Work Blazer
Although I work in a casual environment, I have so many blazers! I only tend to grab them if I have an important meeting that day so they sometimes go unused in my closet. In order to maximize their use, I wanted to style a classic black blazer to make a statement outside of the office! Here are my three tips to dress-down your work blazer!
Polished Plunge
For all of us ladies who dread deep Vs and to-the-waist plunging necklines, this post is for you! I typically shy away from such tops, dresses and rompers since I hate showing cleavage. An exposed shoulder or shorts is much preferred in my book over a low-cut top. I wanted to share how I style low-cut items to still look polished, making it move versatile and classic!
Stars, Stripes & Champagne
I hope you had a great Fourth! My boyfriend, Brian, and I spent the day with his family celebrating with great food, company and (of course) fireworks! Summer truly kicks off in Seattle on the Fourth, so being in the sun with everyone celebrating is always a great time.
When picking an outfit, I wanted to stick with something that could easily translate to other outfits, instead of a traditional red, white and blue get up. This blue embroidered trop with white denim shorts are both from Zara, which I paired with classic Ray Ban aviators and a gold nail bracelet.
Cherry Blossoms and Spring Outfit Staples
Every year a pilgrimage heads to The Quad at the University of Washington to see the rows of cherry blossom trees in bloom. As a Seattleite and UW alum, I honestly have taken the cherry blossoms for granted, as a consistent sign that spring has arrived. The Quad in bloom is beautiful and I'm glad it's become such an icon of the area where locals and visitors alike and come to celebrate the new season.
After fighting our way through the crowds to get our designated photo patch, my friend Neha and I shot away! White jeans, a basic T and beige accessories are perfect for spring and will be staples throughout the season into summer.
Seattle Style Summit
Anytime a group of like spirited individuals comes together, it's empowering. That's exactly how I felt after leaving Saturday's Seattle Style Summit put on by Gossip & Glamour. A room full of 100+ Seattle bloggers who were all there to learn, laugh, take photos and support each other. What a cool environment to be in as a new blogger!
