Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree

Happy Holidays, everyone! What's better than the holidays, Vegas, and Elvis? There was no doubt that when Vegas.com wanted everyone to show off their #UltimateVegasOutfit, I was all shook up. When I think of Vegas I think of partying, glittering lights, and an endless list of things to do in the hotels. What I also think of...is Elvis. He still rocks the lives of all of us today through the presence of the Elvis Chapel and the new installment of Graceland Presents Elvis: The Exhibition, showing of all things Elvis Presley. So I thought I'd take a shot at impersonating the rock and Vegas legend to create my Ultimate Vegas Outfit! 

I've have to start out with the ultimate focal point of this outfit - the blue suede shoes. They're the best symbol to add to an outfit to represent Elvis, and my most favorite element of an ensemble. This pair by Charles David is completely unique. The cut of the shoes is so different and makes this outfit elegant and fun. 

With killer shoes, you have to have a killer jacket. This black and white moto jacket from BCBGMAXAZRIA doesn't only keep up with the Elvis theme, but also puts a play on a festive holiday look. This jacket is perfect to wear alone so it keeps its statement, after all, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. 

Now these Philosphy di Lorenzo Serfani pants not only add simplicity and a minimalistic structure, but also a spot of sparkle. They're super comfortable and make a look like this look high end, but they're roomy enough to let me bust some (awful) dance moves! ...Or play a few strums on this Ronnie Wood signed Gibson guitar. I mean I am rockin' around the Christmas tree after all! 

So, when you hear Vegas, what does your mind go to? What outfits do you think of? Let me know how you would plan you #UltimateVegasOutfit in the comments below, or tweet me @SInsideMyCloset!

Noir Monday

It's the week of Black Friday, people! Today I'm making it a noir Monday in the midst of getting prepared for all the fabulous deals that this Friday will bring about. What sales are you excited about? 

Today I let the inspirational and exuberant city of New York piece together my outfit - and it all revolves around this stellar graphic long sleeve from Helmut Lang. The silver lettering creates the perfect boldness and shine to match my giant Michael Kors hoops. Plus, who doesn't love Helmut Lang's completely flawless minimalist pieces? 

When I think of New York, the color scheme of the east coast is what comes to mind. Black and greys dominate, which is fabulous since those are the types of colors that I love wearing. Plus, black is such a fashionable color in itself, some may think it's an easy way out, but I think it screams model off duty. 

To add a bit of flare to the top I threw on this snake skin effect jacket by Giuliana Rancic. I honestly didn't know she had her own line until I saw this jacket....but now I have my eye on her Moto Jacket! The snake skin effect of this piece is faint, but close up it makes a total statement. 

Paired with my classic Rag & Bone skinny jeans, I also laced up these super comfortable flats from Zara. The laces take once ordinary flats to a whole other level. It spices and sophisticates it up a little bit, and makes me feel like a total ballerina. 

Although I do love my color black dearly, it's always important to remember to live life colorfully! Below are a few of my favorites from Helmut Lang!

The Woman I Want To Be

I have been anxiously awaiting to write and share this post. Diane von Furstenberg is obviously an ultimate role model and style icon to women and fashion lovers everywhere. I recently just finished her book, The Woman I Wanted To Be, and am completely transfixed with her journey to become the woman she wanted to be in life. I can't express how many highlighted notes and bookmarks fill up my book due to the amount of wisdom that is within it.

DVF stresses that confidence, knowledge, character, strength, and style is what makes you beautiful. Being the woman you want and inspire to be is what makes you beautiful. 

"The way you look is important, but who you are and how you project it is eventually who you will become and how you will appear." 

She taught me that passion and persistence is what leads you to achieve your dreams. You cannot sit idle in order to make your dreams come true, but work hard. Her story of believing in her suitcase of wrap dresses, going door to door at department stores, and then building her brand up to become an international phenomenon and the president of the CFDA is truly inspiring. She had a mindset of the woman she wanted to be, and made it happen.

"Sometimes there are doors that will open and you think it is not an important door and yet it is - so it's very important to be curious and pay attention, because sometimes you learn and you don't even know you're learning."

Feel like a woman, wear a dress! is what I thought of when I wore this classic wrap dress by DVF. The jersey silk fabric clings to your skin, but the structured nature of the dress makes you feel sexy and strong at the same time. It is although that you feel like you can conquer the world.

Since black, white, and pink are the core colors of DVF, it was essential to mix it up and add a pop of color to the outfit with this clutch from Kate Spade New York. I slipped on my go-to classic pair of black pumps by Steve Madden and thin silver hoops from Michael Kors - and voila! A DVF girl emerged! Not only does this dress make you feel powerful, but it makes you feel very joie de vivre!

Through all of her failures and successes, she stayed true to herself, which is something that I admire and is something that has been taught to me within my family. After reading her book, it made me think...who is the woman I want to be? The woman I want to be is based off of my role models in life - my mother and my sister. They emit strength, intelligence, style, beauty, joy, and love. They both carry on my grandmother's wisdom and strength. They help shape me into the woman I want to be, encourage me everyday and are the biggest and most valuable support system in my life. They work hard and put everyone else before themselves. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be where I am today or on the way to a future I want to fulfill. I am inspired by them everyday and they are both the woman I want to be.
