Happy 2nd Birthday, Miss Moore Style!

Guys, its kind of my birthday. Not my real birthday, but today marks the second year of my little blog, Miss Moore Style! This occasion called for

Retro Red, White, and Blue

I often feel like I can chalk up a lot of things in my life to “Murphy’s Law,” which states that anything that can on wrong will

7 Wardrobe Staples, 1 Outfit

By now, you are probably aware that there are certain pieces that are essential to have in your closet. You’ve heard that you need an LBD, good pair of jeans, and a trench coat probably a million times. While those are definitely must have’s, in my opinion, there are some other pieces that are also

The Case for the Jumpsuit

What does your summer social calendar look like? Is it jam packed with engagement parties, bridal showers, and weddings? If the answer is yes, you aren’t alone, because wedding season is in full swing. While I personally love to get dressed up

#TuesdayShoesday: Sneakers with Everything

Let your tired feet rejoice! Thanks to the longevity of the “athlesiure” trend, sneakers are no longer restricted to torture time at the gym. This is great news for pretty much everyone: if you wear heels too much, you can give yourself a break and still look chic, and if you never liked wearing heels in the first place, well, congrats, because sneakers these days are cooler than ever. Last spring, Chanel pretty much solidified this trend by sending all their looks down the runway paired with sneakers:

 I won’t lie, making the adjustment and wearing sneakers with non-athletic wear was weird at first. I am one of those chicks that just love heels even though they always kill me in the end. When I wear sneakers, I can’t help but feel just a little bit cooler; they make your outfit look unexpected and a little bit more edgy. Here are a couple past outfits where I have tried the sneaker-as-fashion trend:

I also love how crazy sneakers are getting these days. You could go with anything from plaid white and clean to bright neon and printed, the possibilities are endless. Check out a couple of my favorite sneaker pics below:

“Just put on something cute”

Girlfriends are great. You can always depend on them to be there for you when you need it, give you advice, and keep you grounded. I don’t know about you, but whenever I am about to go out with a friend of mine, one of us will inevitably text the other, “So, what are you going to wear?” For me personally, this is a way for me to gauge how dressed up/ down everyone else is going to be so I know I won’t be too over the top. Yesterday, two friends of mine had a good laugh at my expense, because apparently whenever they ask me this question, I always respond, “Oh, I’m just gonna put on something cute.” Yeah, that is just so helpful and specific, right?!

On another note, I wanted to post this top because a) I’m really obsessed with it, b) eyelet is huge for summer, and c) it looks just like a more expensive top from Zara that is trying to be Oscar de la Renta. This top is pretty and feminine, but the eyelet gives it that something different that is so much more interesting than a plain white shirt. Another reason eyelet is awesome: built in ventilation. It is really heating up around here, so fashion that also keeps me cool is a win-win.

(UN)basic black

I am not usually an all-black kind of girl. If you took one look into my closet, you would see an overwhelming amount of color and print, because those are my favorite things to wear. However, sometimes you gotta go back to the basics. Don’t be fooled though: just because you are wearing one color doesn’t mean your outfit has to be boring. To keep a monochromatic look interesting, mix pieces that have different cuts and textures. This sheer top is a great piece for that because it is long and sheer with a built-in top. It’s also an awesome way to try the crop top trend without baring so much skin, plus its super lightweight and breezy for summer.

Birthday Dress

Last Saturday, I turned the big 2-7. While I am none too pleased at how dangerously close I am to being in my 30’s, I can’t say that I am never upset at having a birthday party. I really haven’t had any kind of social life for the last couple months due to the piles of school assignments I’ve had, so getting to actually go out and have fun was pretty exciting. This year, I celebrated my 27th birthday at Funky Sole Night at The Echo, which is a great time if you love dancing to some awesome 70’s funk jams. (I still have James Brown stuck in my head as I write this). I wanted to get into the theme of the night without looking too costume-y, so lucky for me, the 70’s are making a huge comeback in fashion these days. This dress isn’t something I would normally buy, but for the look I was going for, I loved it. My boyfriend describes this as looking like his grandmother’s couch. If that’s the case, she must have a pretty awesome couch.

Dare to Wear Gladiators

I am not ashamed to say that I love love love gladiator sandals. They make me feel kind of like a badass. But as one might expect, wearing gladiator sandals is not for the faint of heart. I definitely get my fair share of sideways glances when I am wearing them, even here in Los Angeles. The other day, in the middle of my Statistics class, my professor even stopped lecturing to comment on my “interesting” shoes. While my Stats professor is notorious for making examples of people who disrupt class by texting or making out with their neighbor (no lie), I knew I ran a small risk of him saying something about these shoes but I figured, hey, I get really good grades, I pay attention, I participate in class, he won’t bother with my shoes. Think again. Older generations might not get these shoes, but don’t let that stop you. If you are still intimidated by them, there are always less vertical versions of the gladiator that still give you the look with out all the looks, if you know what I mean. 😉

My new obsession: Rocksbox

If you follow me on Instagram, you are probably aware that I have been raving over this thing called Rocksbox lately. (Btw, if you AREN’T following me on instagram, you totally should be! 😉 ) You may not be aware that Rocksbox is this awesome website that allows you to rent designer jewelry for $19 a month. We are talking awesome designers like Gorjana, House of Harlow 1960, CC Skye, among others. I like to describe it as “the Netflix of accessories.” (Think old skool Netflix, when they actually mailed you DVD’s.) Here’s how it works: you go to Rocksbox.com, where they will ask you a couple questions about your fashion sense, what kind of jewelry you like, what kind of jewelry you tend to wear more often, as well as the ultimate question: gold or silver? After completing this short questionaire, you can look through their inventory of jewelry and put specific pieces you love on your wishlist. Once all this transpires, the good people at Rocksbox put three hand-picked items in a cute little box and send it your way. Here’s what I got this month:
Once you get your box, you can wear your pieces as much as your little heart desires. When you are ready for something new, you simply pack up your jewelry in a packet that is provided for you, and ship it back to where it came from. Here’s the cool part: if you fall in love with anything in your box and want to keep it, just keep it! Your account will be charged for the item(s) that you kept, but at a discounted price. On top of the discount you get with your membership, you also get $10 a month to spend toward your new-found favorite pieces of jewelry. What is super exciting is the fact that I am able to give you (yes, I’m looking at you!) 1 month for free at Rocksbox so you can try it for yourself. All you have to do is enter my code, bellepasparfaitxoxo at checkout. Don’t say I never gave you anything! 😉

And without further ado, here’s my outfit featuring the necklace and bracelet from my Rocksbox:
