Style Find: A Mirror

Ugh! Don't you wish you could go back in time and redo your outfit? Boy, do I! 

This weekend I was dog sitting for my sister, picked out my outfit beforehand and brought it with me to her house. I thought it was a cute outfit in my head, but I never checked in the mirror. My mistake not doing so! I wore the whole outfit feeling so uncomfortable! And I let it get the best of me. I was comparing myself to those around me and questioning things I shouldn't have been questioning! And then I got to thinking, and even though that wasn't my best outfit, doesn't mean I've never had one cute or even outfits to comet that will be cute! So we hit speed bumps through life. It's our choice to either stay down in defeat when something comes against us or we can get up and own it!
I guess I needed this lesson in life. I do know never to wear a belt with that outfit EVER again!  

Be yourself, but don't beat yourself up & always check your outfit in a mirror! 
And let the words of Coco Chanel ring in your ears from time to time. "When accessorizing, always take off the last thing you put on." -Coco Chanel

And those who saw me yesterday, I apologize for wearing that belt with that sweater! I know It wasn't my best look! I give you permission to tell me if you think something is off the next time you see me!

Have a happy week! -Ryn

Style Fyle: autumn is coming...

As I've mentioned before, I LOVE Autumn! I love the smell, the cooler weather, the leaves changing, the warm drinks you order from a coffee shop, the cozy feelings, how the stores get ready for the fall fashions, the Bonfires & hayrides, the thanksgiving celebrations,... EVERYTHING! I adore it all! 

One of my most favorite things in autumn are the outfits and pieces you can wear & come up with! It's soo much better than summer, not to knock summer, I just like Fall better! 😉 It's a magical time of year. 


I love fall colors; the berry, teal, emerald, rust, mustard, cream, camel... Etc. but you don't have to wear the colors of fall to celebrate fall! Neons are still IN, among other colors too! Am just excited to wear some of my deeper colored nail polishes! Woohoo!

Here are a few pics I gathered from my www.Pinterest.com boards, I hope you find inspiration in all of these looks! : ) 

Casual:
These looks are for the more casual lifestyle. The one who shops, works in a less conservative atmosphere, the artistic & such! 

The poncho and the Oxford underneath andwith the rain boots, so so cute!

With the hat and the scarf and the stripes...oh my! Perfection!

I bought a felted hat like this, this past spring and I'm so excited to wear it finally! 
Also the collared shirt underneath the oversized shirt looks so great!

I also bought an oversized cashmere sweater this past spring, I will definitely be trying something like this with it!

The whole patches thing on the jeans to the chambray & sweater. Gorgeous.
I'll be wearing my chambray shirts all season long!

I'm all about the flares right now! And with that fur coat, amazing!

I'm liking the whole red pants look! Especially with a big comfy sweater. This look looks ultra chic!
Don't forget to utilize your floral & colored denim this fall too! 

What don't I like about this outfit? Pretty much nothing... 
The hi-lo hemline with the shirt underneath, genius!

That scarf and brogues look luxe with that outfit!

Leather (or faux leather) pants are such an unexpected surprise to any outfit!

With the boots and the patchwork blazer, you can't really go wrong! : )





Work:
These are some ideas for corporate working environments...


The colors just meld beautifully together.

Those pants are so cute, and that vest! The scarf brings everything together & 
makes the whole outfit pop!

I'm really liking the casualness of the zip up hoodie with the pencil skirt. Such a
nice combo! The leopard shoes are great too!

Ugh! I really like this look! The whole thing! With fur vest, the skirt( I bet it's midi length!) and top bun & sunglasses! Perfect in everyway! 

The cinched in blazer with a belt. Super cute right? 

See neon? It's such a good break from all the black going on! 

I'm really diggin' the ankle pants with the socks & platform booties, i'll have to try that!
And that jacket is super cute, right?!?


This would look like Christmas on you body if the colors were brighter, but since they are very deep & luxe, it totally works!

If you have any summer-y skirts you still want to wear, you can totally pair them with tights and a cozy sweater! It's such a fun fall look!

This is just chic & intense. With the heeled booties & coat, you can't really go wrong!



Which stores I will be frequenting this fall & winter: 
Madewell (duh!)
Old navy (it's my kind of forever 21)
Nordstrom & Nordstrom rack
H&M 
Neiman Marcus 
Gap
Free people 
Ulta
Anthropologie
And any others along the way ; )

Online:
Poshmark 
eBay 
Etsy

April showers bring may flowers!

So for my other business, Maude C. I do custom t-shirts & wedding jewelry among my jewelry & accessories! And a bride wanted me to custom make a keep garter and a toss garter... She wanted tulle, and her wedding colors were silver & gold. So I made them in gold tulle with off white shimmer tulle in between. Then I added a knockout rhinestone piece to the keep garter. And added gold buttons to the toss garter. I applied rhinestones to both garters as well. I think these are so gorgeous! But I could be a bit bias! 😉 The cool thing is, I made her sisters garters when she got married, I believe, 4-5 years ago! So this was so awesome to do! 😊 These debut on April 27th! Happy wedding time!
