[Style Inspiration Board] – September 2012

Posted in DENIM, DRESSES, FASHION, FASHION WEEK, HANDBAGS, MAKE-UP, SHOES, SHOPPING, STYLE INSPIRATION BOARD, VINTAGE with tags , , on September 5, 2012 by stylebymeli

Here’s a look at what I’m inspired by this month…

* metallic denim - Denim is no longer just a basic blue and you can find all kinds of variations including vibrant colors and funky prints.  Moving into the new season, I really like seeing denim with a metallic finish, especially gold which always looks great with classic black.

* dark lips - I have always loved the look of dark lips against fair skin.  Fall is the perfect time to start rocking this trend.

* shades of plum - Vintage grape and wine shades are totally making a comeback both on the fashion front and in makeup.

* envelope clutch - Oversized envelope styled bags are a small and chic way to hold all your essentials.  When they feature a strap, it’s an added bonus.  

* ankle wrap heels - I especially like the look with the peep toe, it shows a lot of skin while the ankle strap holds you in for a little bit of extra comfort.  

* 40′s inspired fashion - Many fall runways were inspired by the vintage elegance of the 1940′s which included classic styles mixed with a little drama.

[Style Inspiration Board] – August 2012

Posted in DRESSES, FASHION, HANDBAGS, LACE, SHOES, SHOPPING, STYLE INSPIRATION BOARD on August 5, 2012 by stylebymeli

Here’s a look at what I’m inspired by this month…

* orange (anything) - Orange is definitely still hotter than ever.  I personally like richly pigmented like the dress shown above.  It’s bold, bright, and ever so striking.

* spiked peep toe heels - If you want to dress to kill, I say spiked peep toe heels are the way to go this season.  They’re edgy and I especially love these Jeffrey Campbells! 

* vintage lace - I have always had a love for lace (and always will) but vintage lace is even more amazing.

* black leather jacket - Leather is a huge trend for the upcoming fall season and a leather jacket is a classic way to incorporate it in your wardrobe.  I have yet to find the perfect black leather jacket, but I’m sure I’ll find it eventually!

* bright bag + gold chain - I love how much bright colors are embraced in fashion right now, especially with accessories.  When paired with gold hardware, it’s style perfection!  

* peplum dress - I have featured this trend on previous inspiration boards and have continued to do so as I’m not over the trend just yet!

[Style Inspiration Board] – July 2012

Posted in DRESSES, FASHION, HANDBAGS, JEWELRY, LIPS, LIPS - LIPSTICKS, MAKE-UP, ONLINE SHOPPING, SHOES, SHOPPING, STYLE COLLAGES, STYLE INSPIRATION BOARD, YSL on July 3, 2012 by stylebymeli

Here’s a look at what I’m inspired by this month…

* orange lipstick - As experimental as I am with my makeup, this is the first season I’m wearing orange lipstick and I’m totally loving it.  Besides being completely on trend, it’s also incredibly flattering!

* nude studded peep toe heels - The shoes that are showcased this month are by Alexander McQueen and they are absolutely glorious.  I can’t think of a better way to describe them!  They’re truly jaw dropping beautiful (okay, that’s another way I’d describe them)!

* white bandage dress - I love white dresses this season and like the gold cross embellishments.  They add a nice stylish touch to a simple silhouette.

* hot pink cuff watch - I love a watch that not only serves as a functional piece to capture time, but also one that captures a fashion statement.  The bold neon color with the gold hardware along with its thick cuff style makes this piece the ultimate time statement piece.  (If you couldn’t tell, I REALLY want this!!!  I’m seriously considering ordering this too, it’s just too fabulous to pass up!)

* gold python bag - I love anything metallic gold and anything python.  So surely this bag makes my stylish list this month without question. 

* aztec printed crop top - I like crop tops generally speaking and thrilled to see them pop up more and more every season.  (Not everyone has been rocking crop tops as long as I have and it’s just refreshing to see a wider selection of them).  The aztec print with the crossed back makes this a stellar piece to add to your wardrobe.  I’d style it with a high waisted pair of shorts or a skirt is also a nice alternative.

[Style Inspiration Board] – June 2012

Posted in DRESSES, FASHION, JEWELRY, SHOES, SHOPPING, STYLE COLLAGES, STYLE INSPIRATION BOARD, SWIMSUITS on June 7, 2012 by stylebymeli

Here’s a look at what I’m inspired by this month…

* floral rosettes - I love floral rosettes on clothing.  It adds such a feminine and beautiful styling touch to everything! 

* crop tops - Crop tops have always been a key component to my signature style.  This season, I’m happy to see them more readily available and paired with high waisted bottoms.

* sheer cut outs - I like combining cut out styles with sheer fabrics.  It’s a nice combo, especially within a little black dress.

* bright rompers - Rompers are so comfortable and effortless chic.  I’m especially loving them in solid bright shades.

* turquoise accessories - I never get sick of turquoise.  It’s such a calming, yet energetic color.  This is great to add do an all white (or any other neutral) outfit.

* floral peep toe heels - The concept of a peep toe in a floral print is simply divine!         

* retro inspired one-pieces - I am happy to see so many one pieces this season and greatly admire the retro inspired versions with a modern twist.

[Style Inspiration Board] – May 2012

Posted in DRESSES, FASHION, JEWELRY, SHOES, SHOPPING, STYLE INSPIRATION BOARD on May 6, 2012 by stylebymeli

Here’s a look at what I’m inspired by this month…

* cut out dresses - I still love the concept of a cut out dress, especially when the cut outs are at the waistline.  It leaves a slimming effect and is eye catching.

* coral peach bottoms - I am loving the bright colors for jeans this season.  You can also find shorts and skirts in vibrant hues.  I just purchased a hot pair of shorts that are in a bright coral.  I cannot wait to wear them!

* bright nail polishes - Lately I have been wearing orange tone nails but I also want to delve into hot pinks and other neon colors this season.

* floral high waisted shorts - I am so in love with high waisted anything and floral prints.  Together, they make a chic styling combo.

* bustier tops - Bustier tops are such great layering pieces.  They don’t always necessarily need to be styled in a provocative way and look great styled casually with a hint of sexiness.

* printed cuff bangles - If you’re going to buy an accessory, make it a statement piece.  I love cuff bangles and instead of just buying them in metallics, I’m noticing them in unique printed designs which I’m loving right now.

* lace up platform heels - I’ve consistently been featuring nude and neutral tone shoes, but the highlight of the shoes I’m showing in this month’s [inspiration board] is that they are lace up and platform heels.  I just love the styling details of this shoe, so amazing!
