Jumping Suit

She Said:
I have always been a fan of jumpsuits and rompers. Therefore when I see a nice one, for a good price I dive right in. Forever 21 can be a hit or miss, but recently more of a hit! I found this Jumpsuit online during Memorial Day and also had a coupon for 10% off. This ornate print is what drew me in, I love the colors and it is great for a summer outing or dinner. So because the print is loud and you can’t really layer I kept my accessories minimal. My necklace is vintage from my Mamajean she always looked so put together, I used it as a bracelet wrapped around my thumb, I like the look. My Tory Burch clutch is a cream color so it tones down the print but glams it up a bit. I kept my hair pin straight and makeup dramatic with a light colored lipstick and gloss from MAC. My wedges are open toe in cobalt blue and black two-tone from Charlotte Russe, these two options are great here and here. Wishing everyone a great Wednesday! 

He Said:
I never noticed how long her legs are, until now! That’s the beauty of today’s outfit; her legs look so incredible long in this jumper and who doesn’t love long legs. But not only does it give the illusion of her long legged I really like the pattern and the way her belt adds some separation. She is wearing some very hot heels and great bracelet to match. This is not the sexist jumper I have seen, mainly because of the old looking pattern.  Yet, never less it still looks amazing on her and the collared top part stands out as well.

Fashion Guest: Terika Kons Birthday Outfit



She Said:
I wanted to show off my good friend Terika Kons in her birthday outfit. She had a special birthday on Friday and we were celebrating on Saturday and asked if I could style her. I had so much fun picking her outfit; curling her hair and making her even more beautiful by doing her makeup. Terika is a local Redondo Beach Photographer, she owns Out Of The Blue Photography. We were by the beach and bar hoping, comfort but glam was a must for her birthday outfit she looked and hopefully felt amazing.

Fringe Booties and Lace

She Said:
Happy Friday everyone! If you missed some great features this week, check out HIS picks from lulus.com and Father’s Day gift ideas under $50 all from Etsy! I know another black dress, but this one I have had for a long time and love the detailing with the lace and bead work.  Thinking about it since I am headed on a road trip, this will be coming with me. We are going to Nebraska soon and this dress screams country girl to me. It is from Free People, similar one here and here. I wore a cross necklace from Forever 21 that is dainty and stylish, just to add some gold hardware. I paired it with my Shoedazzle purse and added a longer strap to make it more of a messenger bag. The colors mix well together. Also from Shoedazzle (love them) I am wearing my fringe booties, love the fit, shape and color contrast. I added some turquoise bracelets from F21, and feather earrings to add more countryside to my ensemble.

He Said:
She says this dress reminds her of being country or Nebraska the state, I have to agree and I love it. The dress just looks like a great girl next door dress, that’s what I love about it. It’s very sexy without being too revealing. Additionally, I like the lace in cream and black. I like the bag with this outfit it goes well but I don’t like her shoes with this dress. This dress needs a comfortable heel, not an Indian inspired wedge. The earrings and bracelet look good, but honestly I am not looking at things like accessories with a dress like this.

Father's Day Gifts Under $50 from Etsy



She Said:
It is almost Fathers Day, so I created some gift ideas under $50 all from Etsy! Somethings are creative, fun and useful! You could personalize items if you want too. We can all buy the same items we do every year but I thought this could get your juices flowing. I picked a few items that Dad’s will love and maybe just won't buy them for themselves. Happy Shopping. 

 If your Dad likes to have gadgets, a pocket knife is the best choice. Two engraved pocket knives for just under $30. Have it engraved and let your dad carry it with him everywhere and always think of you!

This was so interesting and unique! A personalized voice sound wave print for your dad, for his office or man cave. It comes in a variety of colors and hey even if you don't sing, it will still look great on a wall! This great gift is only $35.45.

Not sure what Dad does not LOVE his cold beer. This personalized deluxe can caddy is perfect for a cold brew. Add his name, initials or funny name you like to call your Dad. He will definielty use this on Superbowl sunday! It is $22.95.
I like this because my Dad likes to cook. If your Dad is the chef in your house hold, he would love a monogrammed wood cutting board with 4 pieces. The bamboo looks sleek and you can write whatever you want without a charge! For a great deal this is only $19.00!

For a Man that is a business man and needs a personalized map letter opener, this is unique and special. Pick the city you want for your Dad to remember you by or even your hometown. It is $29.95 and will look great on his desk.


 Let me know if you need more Ideas but this was just a few gifts I thought make your fathers day with your dad a little more special!

HIS Picks with Lulus.com



She Said:
So as you know normally I pick out my own clothes and style myself like any fashionista does. Today’s post is unique and special to me because HE picked out EVERYTHING I am wearing courtesy of Lulus.com. To me he stuck to what he loves, leather! Yet, added some bright colors because its summertime, I am so happy with the look put together and these heels are super sexy and comfortable. Lets see why he chose these pieces...

His picks:
A Vegan Leather dress that fits amazing!

He Said:
This is my first time picking out everything she wears and not from her closet, but from a website and trying to picture it all together.  I think she looks amazing and to be honest I wish she could wear today’s outfit every day. I will start off first with her dress and of course I picked imitation leather because there is nothing hotter, I am seeing more and more women wearing faux vegan leather. I am in heaven; there is not a better dress out there. From the sexiness with the dress I wanted to pick something bright for her feet but still not take anything away from the dress. I went with these really cool heels. They have this edge to them with the rivets that I can’t get over and I find myself just staring at them when I am not looking at the dress. Now I thought there is color on her feet but I need a little more color that flows. This is a perfect clutch to go with the heels. Lastly, I added the gold bracelet because I thought it went well with the dress and the same is true for her black and white watch. I loved picking everything out, she looked gorgeous and I hope she lets me do it again soon.
