Styling Stripe Shirt with Leather Skirt

stripes and leather skirt

Hi Everyone!!

I wore this outfit over a week ago when the weather wasn’t that chilly yet but I decided to put it up this stripe shirt with leather skirt outfit on my blog because I have followers from other countries (specially Brazil) where the weather is not cold at this time of the year and also because since its also considered a transitional piece  and they are currently on sale so that’s a great time for shopping. Stripes is one of my piece of clothing to have so I usually make sure I buy striped tops in different colors, styles and fabrics specially to bring on my trips. They are classic, edgy, suitable for wearing it on any season, they easy to coordinate and besides that, striped tops are great for photos. Yay \0/

I decided pairing the stripe top with a faux leather mini skirt and low heels shoes for a more laid-back stylish kind of way to walk around Soho, have some coffee and do a little shopping.

I have seen many girls on fashion week wearing Stripe tops with patches from design brands but did you know you can also easily DIY? There are several Iron  on applique and Stick on patches   on crafts stores but you can also find at AMAZON.COM

I listed are some easy tips to style stripe tops:

  • Converse and rip jeans are always a great combo to combine together with stripes
  • A touch of leopard is a great way to create contrast and mix print.
  •  Add a cute detail by wrapping a bandana around your neck
  • For a off-duty vibe throw a utilitarian jacket
  • To add a bit of grunge stye a plaid shirt wrapped around the waist does the job
  • For a feminine touch,  wear some floral print with your stripes

Keep in mind,there is a number of ways you can style your stripe top! Soon I’ll be posting more pictures with stripe tops for your inspiration. Don’t be afraid to have fun and experiment.. or keep it classic and pair it with your favorite basic piece. Fashion is fun

Have an amazing weekend everyone!

Oi amore o clima por aqui já deu uma boa esfriada da semana passada pra cá mas mesmo assim decidi postar esse look já que tenho seguidores no Brasil e em outros países e cidades que não estão no clima frio. Esse look que estou usando pode ser usado na meia estação e se o clima esfriar é só jogar uma jaqueta por cima .Listras é sempre uma boa pedida, é uma peça atempiral que eu amo e gosto de tê-las em varias cores, tecidos e estilos pois é uma peça curinha, clássica e pode ser usada em qualquer época do ano além disso é a peça mais perfeita pra fazer u mix print sem ter medo de errar.

Uma tedência que está fortissima é a dos apliques e patches nas roupas e nas blusas de listras ficam super interessantes. Voçê pode fazer em casa e dar uma renovada naquela blusinha listrada que estã lá no cantinho. Existem vário modelos de patches/adesivos/ apliques termo-colantes que podem ser aplicados na roupa com o ferro de passar!

Outras formas de montar looks com blusas de listras são:

  • Tênis Converse (All Star) e jeans destroyed
  • Um toque de animal print fax um mix com listras super moderno
  • Uma bandana no pescoço para um detalhe sofisticado
  • Jaqueta militar ou boyfriend deixa o estilo bem urbano
  • A camisa xadrez amarrada na cintura dará um toque grunge
  • Misturar uma peça floral com listras deixa o look com um toque feminino

Em fim tem inumeras formas de combinar suas peças listradas para todos os estilos. Não tenha medo de experimentar, divirta-se … mas se preferir mantenha o estilo clássico combinando-o apeas com uma peça básica favorita.

Beijos e tenha um ótimo final de semana

Fall Trend Pleated Stripe Skirt

Striped pleated skirt

Hello, it’s Banana!!
Well I can’t deny Fall is finally here… This year I’m excited to prep my wardrobe with different silhouettes, prints, and textures. When Banana Republic sent over this trendy pleated stripe skirt in red, white and blue I was pretty skeptical about the style. I know pleated skirt can make me look bigger, as much as I love this trend I have avoid wearing it for years, but for my surprise it lays nicely with the pleats and is so easy to match for work or a simple family outing. The length hits right above my knees ( I’m 5’9″) so its a bit conservative.

So in this post I want to show you what to wear with the pleated stripe skirt. This skirt is very functional and eye-catchy, so you better combine it with your favorite tops and cover-ups. I styled the skirt with an over the shoulder top that is tight to my body so it won’t look bulky. For a night out or cooler days I’d throw a leather jacket over it for an easy cool casual look.
Another way to style this look is to teaming up your bottom with black tights and an awesome pair of booties or knee high boots. The good news is this pleated stripe skirt and all BANANA REPUBLIC pieces are having a 40%OFF sale, so check out their website!

Lets take a look on the pictures?

Olá amores! O outono chegou por aqui… Quero meu guarda roupas com texturas, estampas e silhuetas diferentes nesse Outono. Apesar de AMAR listras, quando a Banana Republica me mandou essa saia fiquei meio incerta se eu iria gostar pois os modelos plissados geralmente não ficam bons em mim porque deixa com aparecia mais cheia por causa do bumbum. Haha  Porem quando provei e coloquei com uma camiseta ou blusinha colada ombro a ombro e adorei. Essa saia tem um caimento bonito assim como o comprimento. Tenho 1,75 e ficou um pouco acima dos meus joelhos de certa forma composta. Uma boa pedida para os dias mais fresquinho é usar com uma jaqueta de couro meias e botas tanto cano curto como longo para um look mais estiloso. Vamos aos detalhes?

Jord wood watch giveaway

Hi everyone!

Today I want to share with you something very special. I am so exited to partner a GIVEAWAY with Jordan Wood Watch.  I am addicted to my newest accessory so much, which makes it even more fun to invite you to enter the JORD Wood Watch Giveaway.

I love accessories, and Jordan crafted Wood watch is a perfect complement to stylish a look, besides that they have a unique design which make them very interesting. If you want to stand out from the crowd this is a perfect watch for it. They have many designs and colors for men and women and since I like oversized watchs and I wanted a menswear inspired model I chose the Frankie series ‘‘Zebrawood & Navy” and really love it. If you decide to purchase from their website they have a sizing guide that you can print and measure your wrist which I think its very convenient. The watch comes in a very cute wooden box and I have been wearing it often since I received it and have received multiple complements about it.

Today I am sharing some of my Summer wardrobe essential that includes few pieces that I recently picked up from Banana Republic. They are currentlyhaving Summer SALE and those pieces are 40%OFF!!

I have an eclectic style and love to mix and match the old and new. Howerver, I confess that what I usually wear on a daily basis  is the classic look,  beacause you can never go wrong with classic style right? In this post I will show you three different outfits for different occasions. All of thm have light and cool fabrics to wear through the Summer.

Besides the equally chic and fashionable clothing Banana Republic is perfect for all shapes and sizes offering petite and tall sizes.

New York Flare5New York Flare dress New York Flare4 New York Flare11 New York Flare14 New York Flare17 New York Flare21 New York Flare23I am totally in love for this beautiful navy blue dress. The cinched waist accentuates the curve of my body and skirted hemline make for a flirty and feminine silhouette. I love the way this dress pairs with heels and flats. Definitely a perfect summer dress in every respect. I can see myself wearing it for day or night and everything in between! 🙂

 

off-shoulder-striped Off the Shoulder Stripe  IMG_00752 Off the Shoulder Stripe  IMG_00795 Off the Shoulder Stripe  IMG_00816 Off the Shoulder Stripe  IMG_00849If there is one trend that I am crazy about it is the off-the-shoulders.
What I especially love about this Off-the-shoulder is that this piece is perfect for a quick, put-together look perfectly appropriate for a trip to my favorite coffee spot. Though I’ve worn it with just about everything, today’s pairing with distressed skinnies.

Stylish the shirt-dress Styling the Office Dress  IMG_99984 Styling the shirt-dressI love a good shirt-dress. This one is so flattering and can be used and a shirt as well if worn over a pair of skinny jeans. I think this classic shirt dress is versatile and can be wear to work as well. If you are not as tall as I am, I recommend you to wear this dress to the office as well. Its a great alternative for a casual office or casual shopping outfit. I went to Bryant Park and I chose to wear it with a pair of white sneakers and have my jacket tied around my waist for a more casual cool look.
Banana Republic is currently having Summer sale! 4O% OFF in stores and online. 🙂
