Fashinspiration Collaboration with Blithe and Vine, Part 2

Happy Tuesday, folks!

Today, I bring you Part 2 of the three-part style collaboration with Blithe and Vine!

In case you missed Part 1 last week, be sure to check that out before you go any further! 🙂

NOW, let’s talk about NAVY + WHITE!

Elish on this look: 

Thanks to owner Liz Spratlin’s expertly curated boutique, there were some fabulous pieces to choose from for this look! I paired some silky, navy shorts with an airy jacket and gorgeous leather booties.

Navy + White is fail proof for spring, and subtle but killer details on every piece do the work for you. From the gold details on the pockets of this top, to the sheer back panel, to the intricate leather straps on the bag, every piece speaks for itself… And isn’t that the ultimate payback for investing in these wardrobe staples?

Liz on this look:

I always say that details make the difference in your wardrobe and this look proves that. Love the two-tone boots, but the jacket in particular: sheer back, gold detail on the front flap pockets, arrow stitching at the cuff… This one piece packs a lot of punch. And the handmade leather bag isn’t bad either!

White jacket: Kai Aackman

Thanks, Liz and Elish, for putting your awesome fashion skills to work! I love, love, love this look!!! Be sure to stay tuned as we bring you PART 3 of this fabulous series! I’ve saved my favorite look for last so… GET EXCITED!

Fashinspiration: Make It A Double!

Since I’m a bit behind on getting some fun Elish looks posted, I figured I’d do TWO today! I didn’t think anyone would mind a little extra dose of fashinspiration! 😉

I love the simplicity of this first look…
Take it away, Elish!

“Well, I moved recently, and every time I move and pack up my closet I find clothes that I haven’t worn in a while or that get forgotten that need to be used! I found this little vintage sleeveless sweater top that I hadn’t worn in a long time and thought I should put it to better use than folded at the bottom of a drawer.”

“I remember scrambling to get ready that morning. I’ve come to realize some of the most “me”, effortless looks are when I’m in a rush and going on instinct. Although I’m a major planner, I never lay out an outfit to wear for the next day. It is usually a wasted effort for me.”

“I think your signature style is what comes naturally, so never force a look. Nothing looks better than confidence!”

AMEN, missy! Ok now for this second, equally as awesome yet rather different look… E sent me these pictures from her mini girl’s trip/NYE vacay in Nashville! Her look that day was ROCKIN’!

Love the action photo!

“This is a pic in Franklin, TN’s Emmaline Boutique! “For the modern woman who simply loves to be a girl” So adorable!”

“Dressed for chilly, rainy weather in the quaint town of Franklin– New Year’s Eve sightseeing was a blast with our fabulous hostess Macey Baird! I stayed warm in lots of layers and my new Zara coat, which is quickly becoming my favorite winter coat. For lunch we took a short break at Franklin Mercantile Deli – serving everything from the Guacamento, a combo of guacamole and pimento cheese sandwich, to their noteworthy fruit tea. All in all, a fun day playing tourist spent in some relaxed “weekend” wear!”

As always, many thanks to the super stylish Elish Phares for letting me drool over her style on what seems to be becoming a daily basis! xo
