Studs & Socks

So it's been awhile since I've done a post. It's just been so busy, but I'm trying to get back in the swing of things. I've been on the hunt for a good pair of full-length overalls but keep getting short ones or dresses! I feel in love as soon as I tried this dress on. I'm a sucker for studs. It's by this really cool brand called Ragged Priest. I paired it with this black beanie & my new favorite accessory, long socks! I'm going to be rocking them all fall I've decided. Such an easy way to take an outfit to the next level.

One of the boys

This look is very "tom boy". Something I don't try very often, It's kinda fun! I've been in the process of making my style a bit edgier as I plan on moving to Los Angeles. I find myself wearing a lot more black than I used to. Generally that was something I avoided, but I've been really into it lately!

 I'm wearing a current elliot vest, shirt from sheinside.com, and Jeffrey Campbell boots.

Sun dazed

These are my MC Hammer pants. I've always been a little resistant to harem pants (even though technically these aren't baggy enough to qualify), but I just loved the pattern and fit on these. And they are sooooo comfortable! I found these guys on sale at UO, I feel like they were one of those things where most people were afraid of them and that's why they went on sale haha. Those are always my favorite sale items, the ones that were just too out there to sell!

Coachella day 2

Here are the outfits Jena and I wore on the second day of Coachella. This was the hottest day of them all so we had to get a little scandalous! I'm wearing a high wasited swim suit designed by my friend Ani, Check out her website here: www.anibikinis.com.

I wore a lace maxi skirt over, which went perfect with the high wasited bottoms. 

Jena is wearing a lace cropped top from urban and a mullet skirt. And of course we topped it off with a floral crown. Almost every girl at Coachella had one I swear! Saturday I got to see one of my favorite bands Two Door Cinema Club. Jena and I danced our little hearts out.

Cutouts & Silhouettes

Sheer robes are awfully photogenic. My dear friend Suzi took these photos on a beautiful sunny afternoon in La Jolla. I am wearing a black jersey dress with cutouts in the back & a chiffon floral print robe. And of course I'm wearing my bowler hat & lace-up boots, I wear them much too often!

Red Hot Pants

Every girls needs a pair of pants that scream "Look at my legs!!!". These are my red hot pants.

Now time to brag a bit about my extreme thriftiness!  

The pants are Ralph Lauren but I snagged them at buffalo exchange for $17.

The top is a super old school lucky brand denim button up with embroidered flower detail. Got this at a thrift shop for like $5. So funny how brands go in and out. I used to LOVE Lucky Jeans. now they are just kinda "meh". I feel like they waited to long to join the skinny jeans trend to stay true to the 70's flared look, and that didn't do so well for them. But despite that I adore this quirky top!

The shoes are Boutique 9. They originally retailed for $160 but I spotted them on clearance at ross for $20! And on top of that I got an additional discount for saying they looked worn (which was obviously the intentional style haha, so cheating). Ended up getting these bad boys for $15.

If i wasn't such a deal hunter I could not afford my shopping lifestyle!

So this sweater is my new favorite thing ever. It's just too much and I love it. So funny what a huge trend cats have become. I layered the sweater with a white button up and corduroy skirt.

I paired some lace up boots and socks to give it a playful schoolgirl look.

People have been asking me for a braid tutorial for awhile. I finally made one, yay!

I love doing this hairstyle, I feel like it's sort of become a of signature of mine.

It took me a awhile to perfect it, so be patient. I've gotten to a point where is only takes 5-10 mins to do. It's kinda my "lazy day" hair. I hope this tutorial helps you! If you have any other questions please feel free to ask. And if you try this style out I would love to see pictures! Please post them here or tag my instagram: @daniroxanne :)

Knit Floral

__________________________________

In the winter I love just throwing on a knit dress with some leggings. It's effortless, comfortable, and looks great. How fun is the quirky floral design on this one?

This adorable knit floral dress was sent to me from www.sheinside.com.

They have a ton of adorable clothing on their site so be sure to check it out!

All these photos were taken by my favorite (and only) sister Dominique Nagel. I think she captured the beautiful afternoon sunlight so nicely. It gives the photos such a dreamy feel.

Star Studded

Found this little gem at Buffalo Exchange (Yes, one of my favorite places) on sale for $9! Complete with metal collar embellishments and covered in star shaped studs. Such a fun and unique dress. I'm not sure what you would call this detached collar, but I am loving this trend.

Check out one my my recent blog post featuring another star spangled look and some other starry trends I gathered together-
