Oh so boho

Sometimes you gotta go boho, and sometimes you gotta go all-out boho. Today was the latter. I realize this is outfit is pretty hippy-dippy, but I was just having one of those flower-child kind of days. Also, what’s not to love about this kimono thing? It makes you feel like you’re walking around in public in pajamas…kinda makes me miss pajama day back in elementary school. 😉

Drop in the Bucket

I am kind of a bag lady. Just one glance inside my closet will tell you that. My purse obsession could probably rival my shoe obsession. As someone who loves trying new trends, I was surprisingly not super excited about bucket bags. Normally I gravitate toward a more structured silhouette, but I think this is the very reason that the bucket bag grew on me. My purse collection needed something less rigid and stuffy, so I broke down and bought one of these sack-like purses. If you want to give this trend a go, here are some great, affordable options that are just a “drop in the bucket.” Sorry, you know I had to do it. 😉

Target, on sale for $12.24

 

Urban Outfitters, on sale for $39.99

Just Fab, $49.99

 

Shoedazzle, $49.95

And, just for kicks, a gorgeous splurge version (a girl can dream)…

Alexander Wang, $950.00

 

What do you think about bucket bags? Are they awesome or should they have stayed in the 90’s?

Thanks for reading, I hope you have a fantastic weekend! xo

 

 

Summer Days, Melting Away…

Today, my car informed me that it was 108 degrees. That’s just stupid. Temps like this call for minimal wardrobe choices. I bought this H&M tank recently and loved it, as I love all backless/low cut backed things, however, they always present a certain problem for me. Cue: the inevitable visible bra strap. Let’s be honest, I can’t go without one. If you are a bit bigger on top, I know you feel my pain. The good news is that a lot of people are coming out with bras that double as fashion. All those cool straps going on on my back in the picture above? That is not a part of the shirt. This bra is everything. Bam! I mean, if your straps are gonna show, they might as well look this good!

One dress, two ways: the LWD

The LWD (little white dress) is one garment that should be getting paid overtime this summer. It’s everywhere, in mass quantities. I would know, because of all the dress shopping I’ve been doing for the different weddings and wedding-related events I am attending. I do love me a white dress, and there are so many great options out there, however, I’ve been a bit frustrated as I feel I can’t really justify buying a new white dress this summer seeing as how I won’t be able to wear it to most of the more dressy social events on my calendar (that whole, don’t-wear-white-to-someone-else’s-wedding rule really gets in the way of that. 😛 ) This particular white dress has been in my closet for a couple years now, and it never gets old to me. One thing I love about it is that I can dress it up or down for pretty much any occasion summer has to offer. Plus, its super light, so its perfect for our current scorching hot socal weather.

Hawaiian State of Mind

I could be wrong, but I think that Hawaiian print shirts are now…cool? I was a little skeptical at first, but it seems that these very tropical themed garments are no longer relegated exclusively to something your dad might wear to a barbeque. At least, that’s what I’m going with. In any case, it is hot as hell in the valley, so I think I might have chosen this top out of my sheer desire to be at the beach pretty much all the time. Wouldn’t it be nice?

Happy 1st Birthday, Miss Moore Style!

Well, time flies when you are having fun trying to figure out how to be a fashion blogger. It has been a whole entire year my friends, and I have to say, I think I’ve come a long way. If you don’t think so, check out my first outfit post. Its definitely worth a laugh, seeing as how it consists of Urban Outfitters dressing room mirror selfies. Yeah. Its definitely been a year of learning, and I’m still learning a lot about how this whole blogging thing works, but this past year wouldn’t have been possible without the help of some of my most awesome friends and my boyfriend. So thank you so so much, Bianca, Ashley, Casey, Sarah, Hunter, Wendy, Leanne, and Nate for always being down to snap my pics for me, even if it feels a little silly. I can’t wait to see what the next year in my blogging adventure brings!

Americana

Hey everyone, just a little 4th of July outfit inspiration for you this afternoon. What could be more All-American than red, white and blue plaid, a denim jacket, and chucks? I am pretty excited for tomorrow as the 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays, so I had some fun putting this together. My key for dressing right on the 4th is to keep it cool and casual, but still cute and festive. Taking a jacket along is never a bad idea as well for when the sun goes down.

And…this picture with the firetruck because it was just hanging out on my street. Also…it obviously goes with my outfit so well!
