Cabi Spring Style Statements

April 29, 2020 By kelley 2,815 Comments

 

I am back again with another blog about one of my favorite brands cabi!!! 

Today I am excited to share with you my take on a capsule wardrobe I created using 15 pieces from cabi’s spring 2020 line. What is a “capsule wardrobe” you ask? 

A capsule wardrobe is made up of a few essential items of clothing that will not go out of style; which then can be augmented with seasonal pieces. It includes everything from outerwear, tops, pants, shoes and accessories!  

Using the 15 pieces from cabi I created what I like to call a  “chic” capsule wardrobe that breaks down into 3 different categories of “chic” creating a total of 9 different looks. The first mini capsule I want to share with you is what I dubbed “Spring Chic” let’s take a look…

 “Spring Chic” Mini Capsule Wardrobe 

Look 1

The base of this look is the Grace Trouser  A pair of high rise, cropped length, pencil leg shape pants. This is a great work pant and fabulous for a nice luncheon too! Then I added the The Handy Cami This elegantly simple cami puts a fun spin on a wardrobe staple with the flutter cap sleeve. I paired it with the gorgeous Shrimpton Scarf a great addition to any outfit and the styling options are endless! To complete this look I added the Siren Sandal – which has an ankle strap with a 2 inch block heel design done in this irresistible red skin print! Don’t be afraid to mix colors Navy, Pink and Red go beautifully together!

Look 2 

Again with the base being the Grace Trouser I paired it with the Go-To Button-Up  with a darling floating flower print against a navy background, this swingy, oversized blouse will leave you feeling easy & breezy. You can dress this blouse up or down, stay tuned for other ways I styled this scarf! To finish off this look I added the Bow Kitten Heel – Slip right into a high-fashion shoe, minus the high heel for a dressed up look that saves your feet! 

Look 3 

Starting again with the lovely Grace Trouser I am wearing The Handy Cami underneath this gorgeous  Headline Topper  this is a fun multi-stripe pattern and easy shape jacket! It features a printed lining and matching buttons that are unique to each jacket. Hit the headlines in this unique piece! I ended up pairing this look with the Bow Kitten Heel because beauty is not always pain, these heels are proof! 

“Classic Chic” Mini Capsule Wardrobe

Look 1

The base of this next mini capsule is the Cinch Skinny white jeans. Everybody needs a pair of white jeans in their wardrobe! Fear not, these jeans are opaque enough for full coverage, yet light enough for the warm weather – just one reason why they are the perfect addittion to your wardrobe! I then paired the cinch skinny jeans and the Bow Kitten Heels with the Reef Knot Blouse – perfect for summer with its nautical rope and anchor print! I topped it off with the Harbor Jacket – This playful topper hits at the high hip and has a boxy shape. The drawstring tie at the waist will cinch you in for a flattering finish.

Look 2

The base of this look is the Cinch Skinny jeans along with the versatile Handy Cami and the gorgeous and comfy Siren Sandal. Remember the Shrimpton Scarf and the endless ways you can style this? I decided to use it as a belt this time! How cute right? Perfect for date night!

Look 3

Starting with the Cinch Skinny  jean I added the Go-To Button-Up blouse, but this time I didn’t tuck in. Instead, I left a few of the bottom buttons undone and tied it into a cute little knot. A simple style edit like this can change an entire look. It can take it from dressed up to casual in a snap! To complete this look I added the Bow Kitten Heel I love a good bow! 

“Sporty Chic” Mini Capsule Wardrobe

Look 1

The base of this look is the Spotted Jogger – Let me say Leopard Print will ALWAYS be on trend! These joggers are done in a slouchy jogger cut with a cuffed hem. Making them the perfect pair of lounge pants to take from day to night by just simply changing your shoes and accessories. For the first look of 3 I kept it real simple and added the Fold Pocket Tee – A classic white tee should be a staple in every woman’s wardrobe. This Tee has an origami pocket detail with a V-neckline and a high-low hem. I did a half tuck and finished it off with a pair of tennis shoes! 

Look 2 

I started with the Spotted Jogger but instead of going with a lounge wear look I wanted to create more of an edgy, street style look. So I added the All-Purpose Cami – This cami truly lives up to its name. Done in a sleek black with a lace overlay at the neckline, it offers enough coverage to be worn alone and can also be layered underneath your favorite sweater. To make this look edgy instead of adding tennis shoes or flats I added a pair of black patent leather heels and some simple jewelry. (Not pictured), But a great idea…you could add a jean or motto jacket to finish it all off! 

Look 3

This last and final look is great for traveling in fact the Spotted Jogger is the ultimate pair of travel pants! I paired it with the Fold Pocket Tee and my tennis shoes. To top it off I added the Cropped Cable Pullover –  This ultra-lightweight sweater features a boxy, cropped design, perfect for layering over your favorite tanks and tees. The neutral tone is ideal for easy pairing. It’s a great addition when you need to add a layer when chilly…perfect for traveling! I love to front tuck so that is the style edit I made to complete this look.

There you have it 9 different looks using 15 pieces from cabi’s Spring 2020 Collection to help make your “Chic Capsule Wardrobe.”   Be sure to check out my instagram today for an IGTV video I did featuring these 15 pieces.  Also, if interested please visit cabi to find a stylist to help get you started shopping!

Peach Spring 2020 Collection

April 13, 2020 By kelley

Peach “is designed to make you feel your best from morning ’til night, in style and in comfort.” Peach makes premium, versatile apparel for women’s daily wear. Peach is defined by high-quality performance and sports-inspired fabrics to make clothes you can take from day to night. As you can see I took this set from day to night by swapping my heels for a pair of converse tennis shoes and changing up my accessories! 

Here I am wearing the Ponte Blazer in Indigo paired perfectly with the Sumida Crop pants! This is a polished look that can be deconstructed into something more casual. Both pieces work fabulously in my wardrobe as I pride myself on buying pieces that mix and match easily! That is one of the reasons why I am a HUGE fan of Peach! 

 

I reach for Peach all the time when getting dressed, because of how it makes me feel and the versatility it brings into my everyday looks! I love Peach and wear a lot of their pieces even before we had the sudden change to our world.  This is definitely a brand that is great to wear at home, work or the gym (when we resume back to our ‘new normal’ ).

Here I am wearing the Yumi Tye Dye Dress to make a quick run to my local Trader Joe’s. This dress will definitely be on repeat for me all spring and summer long. With ruching all along the sides this figure flattering dress is fabulous!

I have said many times before here on my Blog that I love to stand behind companies that are made for women by women just like Peach is. However, another reason I am so excited to be a Peach Ambassador is because of the integrity of the brand. They help serve their communities inside and out. Here is another wonderful example of how they are helping during this current situation. They are now making masks for personal use…

“We are excited to introduce Reusable (and reversible) Face Masks to help better serve our community during these unprecedented times. In light of the CDC’s recommendation to wear a cloth face covering in public settings, we have teamed up with our U.S. factory to upcycle our remaining, unused reversible legging fabric into personal-use face masks.” – Janet Kraus, Peach CEO & Co-Founder.

All consumer purchases of our face masks help fund our ability to donate masks to essential workers while supporting our network of independent stylists and our US manufacturer. Purchase larger quantities at a discount to distribute to friends, family and community members. 

Discounts are applied automatically at checkout. 

20% off 4 or more 

25% off 10 or more 

30% off + free shipping for 30 or more

Wishing everyone health and safety! Please reach out if you have any questions! 

Xo, Kelley

Cabi Spring 2020 Collection Ambassador!

February 4, 2020 By kelley 2,214 Comments

 

I am so excited to share with you that I am a cabi Ambassador for Spring 2020!

This first ensemble screams spring!  For an effortless look, I paired their Drama Skirt with the Thespian Blouse for the perfect matching set. That is one of the great things about cabi is they make fashion easy and stylish.

For those of you who might not be familiar with cabi : they are an 18 year old, company known for its one-of-a-kind fashion experience.  What I love about cabi is they were created “by women for women.”  There are approximately 3,000 cabi stylists across the U.S., Canada and the U.K. that offer their clients personalized styling services.

How it works is you shop cabi, thru a personal styling appointment online where they can put you in touch with a cabi stylist in your area, or at a Fashion Experience which are also known as trunk shows.  Stay tuned for a future Blog Post where I will be taking you with me on a Fashion Experience with a cabi stylist.

 

 

Now let’s get down to the good stuff….The Spring 2020 cabi Collection!  “Spring is a time for renewal and growth, so let’s apply this to your wardrobe.”  As you can see in this next look I kept the Thespian Blouse and added the Grace Trouser and Blazer.  These contemporary  cropped pencil leg trousers are on trend and giving my wardrobe a breath of fresh air.

 

Not only does cabi offer amazing pieces of clothing, but they also have fabulous shoes and accessories.  “They say history repeats itself” – and cabi is bringing back a few “beloved vintage styles.”  These Bow Kitten Heels as shown in the photo above are the perfect example! From the kitten heel to the adorable striped bow detail, this shoe will definitely elevate any look.

I look forward to sharing with you my love of cabi’s Spring 2020 Collection over the next few months.

Versona- A great place to shop for Spring looks!

April 22, 2019 By kelley 347 Comments

I am so excited to share with you in this post, one of my favorite places to shop!   Whether you are looking for a fun outfit, a new pair of shoes, jewelry, sunglasses or the perfect gift, this is a one stop store!!  Lets face it, we are all so busy in our day to day lives.  So,  when you can find a shop where they  have ‘all the things’ that you love (in one place) you have to spread the word!!!  And that would be Versona

One of my favorite things about Versona is they stay up on all the trends!  I was excited to collaborate with them for their new Spring Look Book!  It was so fun to be able to take a ‘sneak peek’, and it did not disappoint!  The colors, prints and fabrics were so vibrant and gorgeous, I couldn’t wait to try them on!   Here are a few of the looks we put together from their Spring Line:

 

Now you know why I was so excited to share with you this amazing store and to make sure you get to the closest Versona, or better yet, check them out online .

One last thing!  When it comes to accessories and  gifts (for any occasion) make sure Versona is the first place to go to shop, because I promise you, it won’t disappoint!  (see below)

I would love to hear from you after you visit Versona and see what fun things you find!

xo,

Kelley

Classic Black and White

Classic Black & White Outfit www.50shadesofstyle.com

I believe there is nothing more classic (and simple) to put together than a black and white outfit.  I can’t tell you how many compliments I received when I ventured out today to run some errands around town.

The best part is how affordable these pieces are.  The top and the jeans are from Old Navy (one of my favorite places to shop for basic pieces for my wardrobe).  These black slides are by Steve Madden (purchased on sale from DSW) and this amazing fedora (sounds so fancy) is from……are you ready?????  Target!!!

So, the next time you are having a ‘moment’ and can’t figure out what to wear for the day, go for a tried and true black and white ensemble and watch how many compliments you will get too!
