White Denim // with Daniel Wellington

I'm recovering from a bad sunburn (if you couldn't tell from the pictures).  I felt the need to cover up my red, burnt skin, while still wanting to be comfortable in the warm temps.  So I opted for these loose girlfriend jeans from GAP and a TopShop tee.  I certainly kept cool with the light colors, while not feeling too restricted...  Shop my look below.  

A big shoutout and thanks to Daniel Wellington for this classic timepiece!  I had been dying to get my hands on this gorgeous Rose Gold Sheffield.  If you haven't heard of DW, their watches are versatile, detail oriented and timeless.  They offer a variety of watch styles and strap options, from traditional leather to colorful nylon.  You're even able to change out your watch strap so that your piece becomes unique to your liking for years to come!

For a limited time my readers can receive 15% a watch of your choice at DanielWellington.com with code 'KRISTYLYONS'.  PS - I'm loving this Dapper piece!  

Have a great week!

Winter Weather Wear

With the impending snow expected today through tomorrow in Boston, I wanted to share this winter weather ready look.  This coat is by far the warmest I have ever own.  I actually snagged it on sale, but it's definitely worth the investment.  (I've even seen the same coat in White at t.j.maxx, so keep your eyes open for it).  An oversized scarf and boots are my go-to accessories to finish the look...     

I wore this same look recently on a snowy afternoon a few weeks back.    Follow me on Instagram here.  

Have a great week!

Fringe for Fall

Happy Monday, everyone.  I hope your weekend was as relaxing as mine...

I spend the day Sunday watching football bundled up in this super comfy Vintage Havana wrap sweater from Lord & Taylor and these new Topshop x Nordstrom jeans.  A quintessential Fall Sunday.

Colorblock Crepe

What could be more comfortable than an oversized tunic + cute booties for casual Friday at work? Especially after indulging on buffalo chicken nachos + beer last night. 

To be honest, I didn't really know what a "crepe" style top was until now.  Basically, crepe means anything that is draped or "loose" fitting of a light material.  So pretty much all my closet favorites.  Not to be confused with the cookery crepe, which is also light and thin, but usually filled with bananas + nutella, or stawberries + cream.  Wow, I'm hungry.  Time for lunch....   

Also if you can't tell from the pictures, this blouse has 3 colors: blush in the front, beige in the back and green sleeves.  Don't be afraid to add another color to the mix.  Like I did with the grey booties - they help tie together the silver chain necklace + side zipper hardware on the blouse.  All and all, a nice balance.  Have a fabulous weekend!

top: Topshop Colorblock Crepe Tunic  //  jeans: Edyson (no longer available)  //  booties: Loft Outlet  //  necklace: TJMaxx, jewelry is now available online!  //  shades: Ray-Ban Aviators black-on-black  //  purse: Rebecca Minkoff

Top it off

Happy October!  This navy tunic dress with maroon accents is the perfect color combination as we transition into October, plus it was a steal for under $30 at Forever21.  I swear, I can never leave that store without buying something, which usually includes jewelry.  I topped off the dress with a maroon wide-brim fedora, which elongates the overall color palette and provides visual balance with the blue hued booties (which by the way I snagged on major sale a few months back at the Bloomingdale's outlet).  I have my eye on a few pieces at Forever21 for this season, including this Plaid Shirt Dress. 

Happy Hump Day, hope this post gives you some inspiration to get through the rest of the work week.  As always, I'm looking forward to the weekend.  Happy Styling!
