Enchanted Fun with the #PaperdollProject

Today my outfit was styled by the lovely Elle of ElleEnchanted.com

The Paper Doll Project is a fantastic concept where one blogger gets paired up with another blogger and they style an item from each other’s wardrobe.

I asked Elle to style this black top. My mom brought it back for me after her annual trip to England last year and I haven’t worn it at all! I thought this would be the perfect time.

Elle suggested that I pair it with a skirt, Summer heels/wedges and funky accessories.

(That ring is shaped like a giraffe. That’s pretty “funky” right?) ;)

So…here’s what I’ve got!

I honestly never would have thought to wear this shirt with a skirt. I always envisioned it with some wide-leg pants or skinny jeans.

Boa Noite lingerie bag

Boa Noite is a line of luxurious lingerie bags that are handmade from the finest fabrics. Chelsea Logan, the fabulous fashionista behind Luxe Innovations in a savvy woman on a mission. The mission of Luxe Innovations is to provide innovative, high-quality intimate storage products for the “fashionista” on the go.

Boa Noite is 100% handmade in the U.S. from the finest materials. Each lingerie bag measures about 12×10″, and can hold three to four sets of bras and panties depending on cup size.

The lingerie bag I received looks similar to the on above, however it’s white (faux fur) with a pink silk interior. The front clasp is a beautiful accent, and the bag is beautifully made. I almost look forward to a TSA check so I can show it off. ;)

If you’re a blogger who’s always jetting off to the next social media/blogging event, a business woman on the go or just a frequent traveler, these lingerie bags are for you. After all, what woman doesn’t want a little something luxurious?

Being that I pride myself on being a frugal fashionista, the Boa Noite lingerie bags are definitely an amazing find. Priced between $35 and $78, they’re quite a steal for a silk-lined, handmade lingerie bag!

@CharmedValerie Inspired ‘Style Pile’: A Fashionista’s Meditation

Style Pile
First I must say ‘Gracias!’ to Charmed Valerie for calling me out to do this post. Making a style pile of things I feel are representative of me and my style was a blast!
I was unsure at first, but I think my style pile really is representative of me and who I am.

SOOO…what’s in MY style pile?

1. HEELS: These are one of my favorite pairs of shoes. How I got them is a long and ridiculous story involving a hurricane and other madness. They’re sexy and chic, which I hope I am too! ;)

2. ZEBRA HAIR BOWS: These are one of my favorite hair accessories! I’m just a kid at heart I suppose and I’ve always loved wearing bows in my hair.

3. MICKEY MOUSE: This big ol’ thing has been with us since my son was about 18 months old. I don’t know what possessed my hubby to buy it but at the time we got it, the toy was bigger than our son! They still sleep together & since I used munchkin’s bed as my backdrop I left Mickey Mouse in peace. [side note - munchkin's room has the best natural light in the house]

4. SWEATER FROM BRASIL: LOVE this sweater! It’s a boat-neck cut so I love to wear it 80′s style to one side with a tank top underneath. The fact that it says RIO in sequins makes me feel ever so slightly glam when I wear it even though it’s a sweater. LOL

5. FAUX LEATHER CROP JACKET FROM H&M: I just bought this jacket a few weeks ago and I can’t get enough of it! :) It’s faux-leather ad pretty ‘bad-ass’ looking if you ask me. I love the cut and it makes me feel put-together when I wear it. If you were at BlogWorld you definitely saw me rockin’ it!

6. LBD (LITTLE BLACK DRESS) WITH LACE UPPER: Another AWESOME buy by yours truly. I like to think of myself as a $10 shopper…if it’s $10 or under and relatively unique (or something classic) I buy it! This dress was $10 at a little random ’boutique’ in our town. I actually saw it a week before buying it and the sales-lady told me it would be $10 the next week so I waited.

7. MAKEUP BRUSHES and NAIL POLISH: Need I say more? I am a makeup addict. If it’s makeup, skin care or beauty related COUNT ME IN! Also, being a student, wife and working mama I rarely have the time to have my nails done professionally and AVON’s nail polish is my favorite! It stays on at least 2 weeks and I mean with washing dishes, cleaning and all that good stuff!

8. MY VANS. These are a California wardrobe staple. Along with Chuck Taylors, Vans are my favorite sneaker. So comfy, simple and inexpensive. This red pair is my favorite because when I bought them the hubbs told me I was crazy and would never wear those bright red shoes. Boy was he wrong! I have worn this pair out and as you can see, I can’t find the other one! Ooops…

9. BOOK and NERD GLASSES: I am a bookworm! I have always loved books. I guess being an only child, I read more than a lot of people I know. I would spend entire weekends in my room reading and have been known to stay up for days at a time upon getting my hands on the latest Harry Potter. The glasses…not mine & not prescription [haha] I just like them.
