Back To School

I went to Black Friday the morning after Thanksgiving and got great deals on all of this clothing. This is going to be my back-to-school outfit on Monday. I don't like when my outfits have one uniform style because it looks a bit typical and plain, which is why I like to mix styles. Here, I'm wearing a long flowy skirt and flowery shirt, which are toughened up by combat boots and the headband gives the outfit a hippie-type vibe.

Thanksgiving Dinner

This is what I'm wearing for Thanksgiving dinner. It's festive and funky, yet appropriate for a meal with my grandparents, cousins, siblings and my parents. Everybody wins! I'm wearing a dress I got in the summer, but made it more autumn-y by putting it with a sequin cardigan, tights and booties. And then of course the wide leather belt always gives an outfit more shape and compliments every body type.

Brunch In Soho

For my first day off on Thursday morning, I'm meeting my friend for brunch in Soho. I love the artsy and hipster atmosphere in this part of the city, and what better way to feel the atmosphere then by dressing the part? In this outfit I'm mixing three different styles together: tough, girly and preppy. The motorcycle sweater and combat boots are tough, while the lace-y blouse is girly and the plaid tights are preppy. The reason all of these styles look good together is because the colors coordinate.

About Me

Modeling in their Burberry-esque jackets.
     
     When I was little, I used to dress up in the craziest outfits and my mom would never let me out of the house in them. Little did I know, this was the beginning of my passion for fashion in a search to find my own style. The search for my own unique style never stopped and ultimately evolved into a hobby. Over the years, my friends and family have asked me to help them put together outfits for different events, or take them on shopping expeditions to help them pick out just the right clothing that matches their personal style. I gave my fashion advice to anyone who would ask me, and now I have decided to share my advice and fashion tips with you guys! I named this blog after my two dogs, Charlie and Sylvia, who make me laugh, always look cute, and love me no matter what I’m wearing. In fact, Charlie and Sylvia have their own unique style.
