Posted on November 23, 2022 by Alissa

Satin, lace, & sparkles are essential for any holiday look, but velvet really is the texture of the season. Last year, I was all about velvet leggings, but for festive days at work or attending parties, I’m all about velvet pants! Not to mention, ones with an elastic waistband that are pull-on!

Last night’s American Music Awards ceremony had some highs and lows, especially when it came to hemlines and necklines. Today’s hottest & most successful recording artists hit the red carpet in major style & sparkle–sparkle being a major trend of this entire awards season. Aside from Taylor Swift dominating the stage with multiple wins (Artist of the Year, Favorite Music Video, Favorite Female Pop Artist, Favorite Female Country Artist, & Favorite Country Album), her golden, 70s-inspired halter jumpsuit by The Blonds was stunning, paired with metallic Giuseppe Zanotti heels, Cathy Waterman earrings, ear cuffs by Anita Ko, rings by Delfina Delettrez, & a Vram bracelet. Additionally, major fashion was served by Carrie Underwood in a shimmering Tony Ward high slit gown, Latina artist Anitta in a revealing Mugler gown & Tiffany & Co. jewelry, “Unholy” singer Kim Petras donning a denim Blumarine design, Ellie Goulding in a Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini two-piece look, Kelly Rowland in an exotic & dramatic animal print gown by Nicolas Jebran, Pink in a fringed Bob Mackie creation, “Made You Look” scribe Meghan Trainor sporting shimmering pink suit by Michael Costello, pop star Sabrina Carpenter in a silver dripping Oscar de la Renta two-piece look, & “I’m Good” singer Bebe Rexha in a glamorous red Buerlangma gown that she accessorized with matching Atelier Biser gloves & knee-high boots Le Silla.

Cover Craze: Margot Robbie For Vanity Fair!

Posted on November 21, 2022 by Alissa

Australian beauty Margot Robbie rules every red carpet & film she stars in, creating more & more opportunities for female filmmakers as a producer & inspiring the next generation of visionaries to challenge stereotypes & break barriers. In the December 2022 / January 2023 issue of Vanity Fair, the two-time Academy Award nominated star discusses her upcoming roles in Babylon, opposite Brad Pitt, & Barbie, alongside Ryan Gosling.

The article, written by Rebecca Ford, shares equally compelling images of Margot by Mario Sorrenti & styled by Anastasia Barbieri. The I, Tonya actress dazzles in black & white shots, wearing designers, such as Elie Saab, Alaïa, Van Cleef & Arpels, Alexander Vauthier Haute Couture, Maison Margiela, Jacquemus, Carolina Herrera, Loewe, Et Ochs, Yves Saint Laurent, & Chanel.

Holiday Gift Style: Sparkly Envelope Clutches for Under $8!

Posted on November 21, 2022 by Alissa

The party invitations must be rolling in for the most festive time of the year! Aside from landing on a comfortable & glittery outfit to celebrate the holidays, the right accessories at the right price are key! Finding an all-purpose evening clutch isn’t always easy, especially a neutral option that would work for another special occasion, like a wedding, & for any ensemble. However, you don’t have to pick just one when a bargain comes along. For example:

SHOP: faux suede envelope clutch in black / silver & beige / gold @Ardene (on sale: $7.47).

I love the neutral color + metal + sparkle combination, perfect for a velvet wrap dress & satin heels, a sequin sheath dress & patent stilettos, or an embellish sweater dress & patterned tights for a holiday party or gift exchange with friends. At 70% off, investing in both is a great idea to be prepared for a more dramatic, darker look or something softer in pastels for another season.

How would you style this bag? Which color do you like best? Where do you shop for special occasion accessories? For more stylish posts, check out: the most festive party shoes of the season, J.

SHOP NOW!: An Affordable & Comfortable Ponte Blazer from Aldi!

Posted on November 18, 2022 by Alissa

Sometimes, there’s fashion in unexpected places, like Aldi! I’ve definitely purchased boots, slippers, ballet flats, & socks for myself in their “fun aisle,” never paying much attention to the clothing provided since I couldn’t try it on & didn’t want to bother with returns. However, as I’ve been in the hunt for a comfortable & basic blazer recently, I was pleased to come across the Serra ponte blazer in black & tan @Aldi ($17.99, available in sizes S-XL).

While this item can only be found in stores, also rolled up in the package, I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for an affordable & easy piece to wear over a blouse, dress, or jumpsuit. I had to steam the blazer when I wanted to wear it; also, I found the sleeves were a touch long for me, wearing the XL), but I was pleased with the fit & how I styled it for a professional occasion.

I’ll likely not get the tan option, but it would be a nice option to coordinate with plaids & with rich, fall colors, like hunter green, burgundy, & rust.

Where have you found fashion & didn’t expect to? Do you shop Aldo’s fun aisle for wardrobe or home finds? What do you look for in a blazer?

Holiday Gift Styles: Sparkles, Plaid, & Velvet High Heels!

Posted on November 13, 2022 by Alissa

So a pair of high heels may not be on every Style Darling’s holiday wishlist & it’s nearly impossible to buy someone else high heels as a surprise—unless you’ve received a specific request, you know their style & size to a tee, or you’re a stylist who can read people’s style needs easily. However, for the rest of us, some high heels remain a dream & that’s fine. That’s not to say that I’ve hung up my high heel collection & passion, but we’re taking a break in the name of happy arches & comfortable days at work. With that… a little sparkle, plaid, & velvet perks my feet right up for holiday footwear!

SHOP: Liv pump in red plaid (on sale: 59.46, available in sizes 6-12), Liv pump in purple metallic (on sale: $62.96, available in sizes 6-12), & Lyla pump in teal green & purple (on sale: $55.96, available in sizes 6-12) @New York & Company. Check site & emails frequently for coupon codes!

I love the idea of pairing the plaid with a sweater dress & faux fur vest. Likewise, the metallic option can amp up a little black dress & statement necklace; whereas, the velvet styles with the blingy bow offset faux leather leggings & a tunic sweater or sheath dress & drop earrings for your next holiday gathering!

Holiday Gift Styles: The Perfect Festive Blouse for the Season!

Posted on November 11, 2022 by Alissa

I don’t normally promote juniors department clothing, but when I see something all over Instagram, I have to investigate to find out more! Specifically, I mean the No Boundaries scoop neck top with floral bell sleeves in brilliant red, black soot, hunter green, & winter white @Walmart ($17.98, available in sizes XS-3X).

If you search #walmartfashion on the ‘Gram, you’ll see what I mean; however, I love the sleeve detail, especially in green! This top can be worn in so many ways this season, including with a sequin midi skirt, plaid trousers, faux leather leggings, winter white corduroys, or velvet joggers. Take your pick of jeweled ballet flats, embellished evening sandals, velvet pointy toe pumps, or suede ankle boots & your outfit is set!

How would you style this top? Which color do you see yourself in? How do you feel about a dramatic sleeve? For more stylish posts, check out: a fashion flashback with Zoey Deutch, holiday earrings from SUGARFIX by BaubleBar, & thermal pajama sets from Old Navy! Happy Styling!

Fashion Flashback: All the Style for Zoey Deutch’s 28th Birthday!

Posted on November 10, 2022 by Alissa

Not only is Not Okay star Zoey Deutch a natural comedic actress, but she’s also Hollywood royalty, as daughter of Back to the Future leading lady Lea Thompson, & Zoey commands the red carpet in her head-to-toe monochromatic style, bold suit ensembles, lacy little black dresses, elegant vintage looks, metallic minis, & love for bold prints! She can wear anything! I’ll be honest, I never paid much attention to Zoey’s public appearances, but upon learning of her 28th birthday today & setting out on a mission for a post today, I stand corrected! As a blonde, brunette, or redhead, Zoey is a style chameleon, exuding confidence, grace, & joy in every look. Her modern minimalism rivals her penchant for traditional Hollywood glam—I can’t decide which is better. Take a look through the color-coordinated gallery below to see all the reasons why Zoey’s style is worth celebrating!
