Athleisure wear

February 27, 2018

Ok, I did it! I jumped on the athleisure wear train! I slipped into these leggings and realized instantly why so many gals wear them. Super comfy.... and talk about making you feel pulled together in all the right places.

exact Leggings love these // Tunic // Cuyana Tote // BKR bottle // Shoes //

I have to admit, I'm not one to run around in leggings; It's just not me. Give me a pair of slim fit joggers and I'm happy, but these are pretty fab. My best friend from high school has a pair of leggings for every day of the week. She literally lives in them and she talked me into my first pair. I love the black on black leopard print of these and now I see now why so many girls wear them all the time. I think they would great for traveling and with the right longer top or tunic, they could be airport appropriate. I personally have always dressed for traveling. You never know who you are going to cross paths with in an airport and while I have never had my luggage lost ( fingers crossed it doesn't happen), being dressed for an occasion rather than a yoga studio feels better to me! Just saying!!

Wednesdays Wants

February 21, 2018

bags

Happy Wednesday friends!

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6

Who else besides me has missed Wednesday Wants? I am so excited to share the first installment for 2018. I must be having a thing for bucket bags because all three of these are fabulous. I want all of them! That Staud bag is super fun! I am glad that tie dye is still a "thing" because this cute maxi dress is perfect for a spring day. On to these shoes..... Now you know I have a thing for leopard.... these Air and Grace sneakers are the best. I mean really.... they are super casual but yet certainly can take your weekend wear up a notch!! Can we stop for a minute and imagine this pink dial Michele watch on our arm? This is feeling like a must have for me. I love my Michele watch and wear it every day. I recently have been thinking I would like to switch things up and get a round dial watch.. I think I found it!

Polka Dots and Pink

February 20, 2018

bags

Put a little pink on me and watch me shine! Gab alway says, my best pics are when I am wearing pink! I think she is right! It doesn't hurt that my bag is pink either!

I love a good polka dot and this shirt does not disappoint. When I found this soft pink cardigan I knew I would want to pair them together. To elevate my pattern mixing, these pants are a black on black leopard print. If you read my post How to Pattern Mix, then you know I am not shy of mixing it up!! Because the pants have a leopard pattern in them I chose a solid black shoe. Adding a few good items to my closet that I can multipurpose in different seasons is always a good investment. Have you added any transitional items to your wardrobe lately? What are some of your favorite items to multipurpose?

Dog and Boy Muses

January 10, 2018

bags

Welcome 2018! Hello my friends, I have missed each and every one of you. What a journey the past year has been and I am forever grateful for you and all the sweet comments, text, emails and calls while you patiently waited for me to come back. I am so glad to be back to blogging and have truly felt all your love while I have taken this little break. Maybe someday I will write more in details as to the past year, but for now, I am just glad to be stepping back into my blog that I so dearly missed as well as all of you. So without further ado here we go....

Scarf c/o // Sweater (Similar styles here and here) // Boots // Clare V Sandrine // Clare V leopard attache and Flore // Jacket // Jeans // Lipstick // Bead Bracelets //

Dog and Boy has been on my radar for some time now. I love a great scarf and these did not disappoint. Made of a silk and cotton blend they are soft and luxurious to the touch and the oversized scarf lends itself to endless possibilities of styling. This particular scarf, The Muses is fun with its pinks and grays; throw in a few spots and it was perfect for me. Dog and Boy Scarfs are more than just a fashion accessory, they are a piece of art, a journey into your creative imagination and inspiration. Never shy to pattern mix, I was quick to add the playful pattern of my scarf with this bright striped sweater and my Clare V Leopard Sandrine.

Happy Wednesday!

Asneh Florence Sleeveless Sweater

December 09, 2016

fashion

For this styling of my Asneh sweater I opted for casual. When I shared with you here as the perfect cashmere vest I knew I needed to share a casual look so you can see just how versatile this vest is. What better way to dress down than in chambray and denim. Of course with a floppy hat too! When I think of layering with a sweater, I think bulky. I love the vest because it eliminates the bulk but keeps the warmth. I wish it was a little longer for me personally, but it is so soft and perfect with your shirt tails hanging out to make up for the length.

I have really been working hard to shop my entire closet this season with very little new additions. I am struggling to not buy any new sweaters this season.... but reworking what I already own has pushed my creativity in my wardrobe! When was the last time you shopped your closet to create a new outfit?

Pretty Pink Bow

December 05, 2016

Colors

Happy Monday. How was everyone's weekend? I did a little decorating and shopping and feel a little better about Christmas being here in only 3 weeks. It's dress down day with this otherwise dressy sweater. I first shared this gorgeous sweater you can read the full post here as the perfect bow. I wanted to share just how easy it is to dress up and dress down. I love the pink silk bow. I threw it on with a pair of distressed jeans, my favorite of course, added a mid heel with a pop of leopard (of course) and I am weekend ready! If the heel is more than you would want throw on a bootie, or even better a pair of riding boots. I own these Frye boots (on sale right now) and absolutely love them.

How would you style this sweater?

The perfect Cashmere Sweater

November 30, 2016

Beads

When you think of layers you generally tend to think of a cute tank and cardigan, or maybe a button down and jacket with a cute scarf. I have a great outfit with layers and pattern mixing I am sharing later this week so watch for it. My outfit today is the perfect layering without the bulk. Asneh Cashmere sent me this gorgeous vest. It is so very soft and the diamond pattern is simply stunning in detail. When I first opening the box my mind raced with so many ways to use this versatile wardrobe item. We generally tend to think of a sweater vest as over a blouse, or top. I decided to style it the first time as my only under layer. Such a cute look don't you think? I love how it is season appropriate but allows for the weather to warm up a bit in the afternoons and you don't overheat under to many bulky layers. I shared my other Asneh Cashmere and their Pussy Bow sweater outfit here.

I have received tons of questions and comments on my key necklace. On my last trip to Florida, Gayle and I decided to try our hand at knotting beads. We have made tons of bead bracelets in a wide range of colors, but this was a project I had been planning for some time. I knew it was something I want to try and when my parents were in Europe this past summer I asked my Mom to pick up some antique keys from the wonderful flea markets they visit. This is just one of the dozen keys she brought me back. I love how it turned out. I plan on making a few more necklaces and adding a different style of key to some and even a larger gemstone to hang freely. I am currently on the hunt for some very pretty, quality Aquamarine for my next knotted necklace. One thing I can tell you, the price you see for these type of knotted beaded necklace are well worth it after hand knotting all of these. I do love a good challenge though!! Have you ever tried beading, or even hand knotting beads? Would you take on a project like this? I would love to know who else out there is crafty!

One of my favorite places to purchase my necklaces is from Warrior Soul Co. She has a darling Etsy shop and I have even met her; she is local to the Palm Beach area. I picked up this Beaded Tridacna necklace from her on my last trip. She also will custom make a necklace in your choice of beads if she doesn't have it made.

How to Wear Pastels in Fall

October 04, 2016

Beads

Happy Tuesday friends! I have a super busy weekend filled with events, appointments, and a few DIY projects I am tackling around my house. I have been on a sanding and refinishing kick of a few items and I am so sore from it. My shoulders are getting a workout for sure. I just finished up refinishing my kitchen table and now I am in the process of stripping my Duncan Phyfe buffet and have a pretty good idea as to how I want it to look refinished. If you want to see how this project is going be sure to follow me on snapchat (lisa.murie) for all the behind the scenes on my DIY projects. I will be sharing them once I am completely done with a final reveal, but that may be a while!!

All this talk about projects is what leads me to todays outfit. It's not a new combination, but it sure is a great fall transitional outfit. Bringing the best of summer with the blush pink and a gorgeous fall color with this army green it makes a perfect outfit. Taking two items I owned and giving them new life with a fresh twist. Kinda like the buffet project (I hope) ! I do think it's time to pack away my Mezzi pink bag for fall, but I had to give it one more spin before I did.

Style Tip: Mix your pastels in your outfits with a jewel tone color. You can add a scarf, dark denim like I have here, or even add a richer color in your handbag and jewelry. Have fun with it!

Pink Paisley Tank

September 08, 2016

Colors

Summer time is winding down but that doesn't mean the weather is plunging. I get where we are excited to start fall layers, and pull out our blanket scarfs, but the weather is still warm and that means a few more weeks of shorts and tanks; at least for me that is! I have to admit, I have been out of my routine with what seems like everything. Ever since I go back from vacation I have been on an endless cycle of catch up. Just when I seem to feel ahead I take a evening break and the next day I'm back to a list of plenty to do. I need to just slow down and let everything work itself out, so if I owe you an email, or a response I promise I am catching up this weekend.

This tank is one of those items you can wear a bandeau bralette with but I chose to wear a halter. I liked the added lace at my neckline since the straps are so thin. Style tip: Choose to not wear a necklace when details from your top, or in this case lace straps are exposed so as to not create too much going on. By adding larger earrings they create a nice focal point.

3 Ways to Wear a Button up shirt

September 01, 2016

Ann Taylor

I have enjoyed styling my button up shirts a lot this summer. They are quite versatile and I think the right white button down shirt and denim shirt are wardrobe staples. These items shouldn't be investment pieces as you can pick yourself up a really good shirt for around 70 bucks or less if you shop the sale right! Old navy has a great selection that won't break the bank, and when Gap, Madewell, or Talbots has their sale, (which we all know they do several times a year) watch for your favorite to go down in price and grab it! I picked up my white shirt at Madewell, and my denim shirt at Talbots.

There are many ways to style a button up and here are a few of my most recent outfits. Tie it around your waist for a great layered look. One favorite by many is the half tuck. I shared both my chambray and my white button down with a half tuck in two outfits below. I layered my chambray shirt in the third picture with a light sweater; great look for transitioning seasons! Have fun with your button ups and think outside of the norm when it comes to traditional wear items!

Pink Tie Dye Sun Dress

August 29, 2016

Beach

Happy Monday, we made it through the weekend! As my vacation was coming to an end, we attempted to visit all the favorite spots in and around Palm Beach. Worth Avenue being one of these spots. The shopping is comparable to Rodeo Drive; just with prettier views of the ocean in my opinion! All of your high end designer shops are on Worth Avenue as well as some darling boutiques. I actually love the small boutiques and what you may find that is not as easily spotted on so many other fashionable woman. This dress is a boutique find. I spotted it in the window and dragged Gayle in and she agreed it was darling and looked like me. I love the print somewhere between a tie dye and a batik.

If you remember before I left on my trip, I shared my new Mezzi Cosima bag on my instagram, (follow me on instagram here if you don't already) and all the features this little cross body holds. Like a blue tooth for your phone, and a mini speaker to play your music. It even has a light inside to see in dimly lit locations. But what makes this bag the coolest is it's ability to fully charge your phone up to three full times! So if you're running low on juice because you have snap chatted the entire evening.... (we did several times) no worries, just plug your phone into your bag on the go and charge up! I have been a fan of the entire Mezzi line for a while now so to finally own one is awesome!! I now want to have the Mezzi Carezza bag too!
