Tweed Blazer: 3 Ways

I think my love for the tweed blazer is somehow intertwined with my immense love for Chanel and all things elegant and luxurious.  I have always thought that Coco Chanel epitomized the elegant woman--wise before her time, she knew what made a woman stand out and look beautiful even with just two colors on a palette to work with (or lack of color thereof!)

 Check out the the ways I've styled my tweed...

Maxi-mize for summer!

maxi dress from GAP

Along with summer dresses, another trend I've grown to love lately is the maxi dress.  Another great, versatile piece to have during summertime, it can double as an easy piece to wear on a lazy day or a surprisingly more common type of dress to wear for weddings! It gives that beautiful bohemian thrown-together-last-minute look.

 A throwback of my fave maxi dress (that unfortunately shrank, tho I can't say it's a bad thing) the nautical stripe dress I proudly bought in NYC last year and to this day is one of my fave maxi dresses!

Here are other dresses that have caught my eye!

Paisley Blues

Today was one of those days that just didn't seem to end.  Actually, I've been having those days a lot more frequently since I started school...The things we do for higher education.  It'll be all worth it in the end, right?

Today I was in a rare mood to dress up for work...

Casual Shopping Day: Nautical Blue stripe and jeans

Beinga 9-5 working gal, I rarely ever get to head out on weekdays anymore.  Gone are the days of mis-spent youth meeting up with friends after work as my favorite thing to do nowadays is couch-potatoing at times with the bf and catching up on PVR'd shows from nights prior.  Getting older, it slows you down abit lol.

Saturdays are my usual days of heading out --shopping and galavanting all around downtown either by myself or with my cousin.

Ain't Easy being Green: Utility Jacket and Flats

Typical Rainy tuesday and I had to do some errands...Could the weather be any crappier!!? lol..Life, lemons and all, you know the saying.

I usually dress comfortably when I run errands so as not to deter from getting all the things on list! to check out what I wore...

Saturday Stroll: Maxin' it up!

Saturday afternoon shaped up to be quite sunny for a bit.  I went for a stroll in the afternoon in downtown with my cousin while my bf recovered from the night before lol.

Fall must have: tweed!

Okay, I'm not so much talking about Gene Simmons' wife, Shannon...(congratulations by the way).  I'm more talking about one of my many obsessions right now.  I love tweed.  I love that you can pair it with jeans as much as you can with dress pants and even so much as to use as a topper for a nice dress.

It's one of those all-around type jackets that work for almost any occasion! 

From Chanel's Fall 2011 Ready to Wear line,  tweed is a staple among his many fabric choices.

If you're wallet doesn't hold as much coin, here are some less pricey alternatives...
