TRUTH SERUM

Truth by itsthestylista on Polyvore

So this is the truth. You will not see my fabulous breakfasts over the New York city skyline, with a blooming bouquet of flowers by my immaculate coffee cup atop the latest issue of the IT magazine with my days accessories strewn by them. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing those photos. They are fantastic and inspiring. But it's just not my life. I don't get invited to designer parties, or trunk shows, or what not. I just don't live "that life". Would I like to? Hell yea! But right now that's not my life. I live in the real world where life takes you where it may and you have to make the best of what you got. And for me living in a town where the women are crafting scrap books instead of inspiration boards, the internet to the outside world, my blog filled with bet-on-it winner styled pieces is my way of letting my creative juices flow, sharing my style wisdom with whoever stumbles or takes the chance to click and read. Because I know I am not the blog that everyone is talking about, but I know my shit. And if you want incredible outfits, crazy celebrity ensemble steals, and just plain good ass style, come here. Take me up. Come in. See what I have put together. It's free. And it's damn good. I hope you enjoy. Because I sure as hell am.

STYLE GRAFFITI

As street style continues to be the ultimate inspiration for both fashion lovers, artists, designers and, well... the whole world, The Sartorialist is the site to go to get that inspiration instantly delivered to your desk. These two looks stood out to me recently because as summer keeps creeping in, prints are the best way to express happiness with the sun shining down. I love this first look for so many reasons. One being the obvious, the amazing printed skirt. What do you pair with a print as specific as village scenery? With more prints of course! Since the skirt is such a peculiar image, its best to go with the most toned down of prints, stripes. The striped tee not only grounds this look it also adds an effortlessly chic touch. To add even more oomph style with bright accessories.

As much as I love the bold European edgy stylist vibes the most, I am a sucker for preppy. Get the look by matching up this well structured yet fun floral print with smart pairings in basic brown. Except when combining sunny yellow with sky blue, this ensemble is anything but basic.
