Lace & Peplum

Happy Saturday my loves!  Yesterday was so hectic for me and I ended up going to the city last minute at night so I wasn't able to take great photos in my outfit before heading out.  I was able to get a few quick shots from my iphone though so I hope these will do.  This will be a short post! 

Bustier: Forever21 (new)

Skirt: Cotton On (new) 

Shoes: Forever21

 Clutch: Forever21

This is not how I originally planned to wear this skirt, but I am happy with the outcome.  I had to put this together in like 5 minutes because I was short on time.  I really love this peplum skirt and the fact that it's high waisted.  Putting my hair in a high bun worked so well with this bustier and I think gave it a more sophisticated look.  I wanted to go with simple shoes so I wore these sling backs.  I used this studded envelope clutch to add a little dimension and went with gold accessories and a light pink lip! I was going for something sexy but still classy and I think I achieved that!

Here's a photo last night with 2 of my loves!

Hope you're enjoying this weekend

Outfits I've Inspired

Hey beautiful ladies!  Another weekend is upon us and it is going to be super HOT over here in the NJ/NY area. 

I'm not sure if I'll be able to do an outfit post today so I decided to put this up now just in case.  I've gained a great following on my instagram and I have to say that it has shown me that I really DO inspire others with my own personal style.  Over the past few months, girls that follow me have posted photos of their outfits and tagged me to let me know that it was inspired by one of my looks.  So I decided to show case a few of them here on my blog with my outfit and then the way they recreated it! :)

She said she was inspired by my outfit to pair this pink blouse with her mint pants.  

AND... 

My high bun has inspired too!  I wear my hair this way often and created a tutorial for it on youtube after I got a lot of girls asking me how I do it.  I don't do the sock or donut.

They all look great and I'm so very happy that I was able to help inspire them to recreate these looks.  If there's been an outfit that I have inspired you to wear, please send me an email to aloveaffairwithfashion@gmail.com! 

Happy Friday my loves <3 

Simple In Pink

Hello dolls!  Whenever I have a new hair style I just instantly feel like a brand new person!  I woke up with a big smile on my face.  Can't you tell in these pics?!  Thanks so much again to the Moxie Twins for hooking me up!  I already received a bunch of entries for the make over contest and let me just say that all of your stories touched me!  Make sure to enter before Monday and email me why you should get a moxie make over to aloveaffairwithfashion@gmail.com.  Now on to today's outfit!

Top: TJ Maxx

Shorts: Forever21

Shoes: Forever21

Bag: H&M 

Necklace: Eye Candy Bling 

Lipgloss: MAC Pink Poodle

Last night I had a crazy little adventure in the city and I swore off heels forever.  Of course that was a lie (lol) but I wanted to wear something very simple and cute today.  You can wear plain pieces and still make them look fab! This top was only $12 from TJ Maxx and I really love the detailing in the back.  I decided to pair it with these dark denim shorts that I got last summer.  Love how they come already rolled up at the bottoms.

I brought out my floral pumps because I haven't worn them in awhile and I like how it added some print to this outfit.  I'm on the hunt for some new hand bags so until then I'll still be rocking with my shoulder bags or clutches.  Today I went with this mini one.  

This necklace that I am wearing is amazing!  I absolutely love it. It's courtesy of Eye Candy Bling's Diamonds & Spikes Collection.  It has gold spikes and little rhinestones going all around.  I was so excited when I received this in the mail.  So guess what?!  All of my followers get 10% any of the items on her Etsy store by using the code Natyxoxo so make sure to take advantage of this and check her out at the link above!   She's also on instagram: eyecandybling :)

Last but not least there is a new sale over at PLNDR that I think you should check out because it ends in 4 days! Signing up takes less than a minute and then you will have access to all of the site's exclusive discounts.  This time the sale is from REFINERY29 and it features great items for summer like dresses, colored denim, shorts, shoes and even swim wear!

Moxie Makeover & Give Away!

I just got back from getting my makeover at the Moxie Salon !  It's a beautiful full service salon located in Ridgewood, NJ and they were featured on VH1s hit show "Why Am I Still Single"  They did my makeup, touched up my ombre highlights, gave me shock treatment conditioner, and clip in extensions for a new look.  I haven't had long hair in awhile so this is really fun for me.  The extensions are both black and the color of my ombre highlights so it all blends in together for that dark & light effect.  Very funky! Here's the photos of my new look!  And then I will show you guys photos of the salon, the services they offer and the contest to win a free makeover! So make sure to read all the way through this post :) 

 I love that my ombre is touched up and I can clip in these extensions whenever I want for a different look. And I love this eye makeup!

Here's some photos of the salon and The Moxie Twins: Jamie & Jenna.

Here's a list of the services that they provide:

Address: 57 E. Ridgewood Ave. Ridgewood, NJ 

It's a beautiful salon, nice environment, friendly staff, and they are great at what they do. For more info check out their website Moxie Salon !!

Now for the CONTEST!

If you live in the area and are in need of a makeover, please email me at aloveaffairwithfashion@gmail.com and tell me why you think you should get a Moxie Makeover.  The winner will be picked next Monday and you will get a free makeover at their salon!  

So what do you ladies think?

Super Casual

So today I was supposed to get my makeover but I'm actually going tomorrow now.  I went with a very casual outfit today and I wasn't even going to take photos, but decided to at the last minute so this will be a short post.  I did this really quick on my way out with my iphone so the quality is not as good as usual.  Thankfully I missed the down pour!  The weather has been crazy today!

Tank: Target

Denim Vest: Forever21

Pants: H&M

Sandals: Forever21

Bag: ShoeDazzle

Sunnies: Ray-Ban 

I love the denim & khaki combo.  I think every time I wear these pants I pair them with some type of denim top.  I've worn this vest a few different ways on my blog so hopefully it gives you a couple of ideas on how you can style it.  I'm using a snakeskin handbag that I think I also use every time I wear these pants lol I love it though. 

 I have on simple white sandals and a little arm party.   I put this photo up on instagram (natybaby) since you can't really see the bracelets I'm wearing in these photos. This blue bracelet is courtesy of Glam Bar  so make sure to check out all of her other pieces! Very cute things you might like :)

I always feel so tiny in flats :)

Have a fab day!

Rainbow Feathers

Happy beautiful Sunday!  It's been in the 80s today and this is what I consider perfect weather.  No humidity and a nice cool breeze! Since I was basically in all black last night, I wanted to switch it up this afternoon with some nice colors.

 Blouse: Courtesy of Gypsy Warrior (Here)

Jean Shorts: Forever21

Shoes: Mojo Moxy 

Bag: Mandee 

Sunnies: Ray-Ban

Lipgloss: MAC Pink Poodle 

I'm wearing this lovely draped blouse with rainbow feather print all over.  The front is v-neck and the back has shred detailing which I love.  I also love the sleeves on this because they poof out.  It's super cute!  The blouse is sheer but comes with a lining underneath which is great.  I really like the color combo.  Check out some of the other great tops at Gypsy Warrior!

I decided to pair this with my new jean shorts that I showed in my Forever21 haul.  They'e called "Colored Denim Dolphin Shorts." I really like the way they are cut on the bottom.  I wanted to bring out the pink in the top so I'm wearing these shoes that I purchased at a boutique called Carina inside the Borgata hotel down in AC over a year ago.  I always forget about these!  The bottom part has studs going around the front and sides.

I just went with a neutral bag and silver accessories.  Nothing too much today and no arm candy.  I have on pink gloss to match and  I decided to pin my hair over to one side.  I really like this look!  Another weekend has come and gone and I hope that you've all been enjoying it!  I can't believe that June is almost over.

Tomorrow I'm going to Moxie Salon for my make over and I'm really excited! Can't wait to share photos.
XOXO
