Winter White

Posted on by The Style Cake

Around this time of the year, I start thinking of good vacation spots because I am usually ready to get out of the cold. I can’t say that it is necessarily the weather being the reason that I want to vacation (it’s been kind of warm) as much as I can say that I need a change of scenery. The dark looks are not doing it for me lately. I want to spend some time on the beach, see some sun and wear neon colors. Seeing as that probably won’t be happening anytime soon, I will dress in a more upbeat colors in this outfit of the day. I’ve been saying that I love to wear nudes in the winter. I think that it brightens up one’s mood instantly and breaks the monotony of dark colors. Don’t get me wrong, I love dark colors. In fact, the outfit for Friday shows some dark colors…but it’ll be color nonetheless. I wanted to showcase my winter white coat so thats pretty much what this outfit revolves around.

My coat is from SheIn online and I have a love/hate relationship with this coat. Ugh, if you want me to let you know more in a personal review I can. Anyhoo, the coat boasts a large collar that is feather light and pretty much flops around in the wind. Trust me when I say this is not great if you are wearing lipstick. (Insert side eye here). It also has only a belt to close it. I would think that this is a better fit to be called a cardigan than anything else. The color is the perfect winter white and can add a nice accent to an otherwise toned look. I wore the coat over a pair of boyfriend jeans (husband jeans for me cause I’s married lol) and a semi-matte looking silk shirt from H&M. My shoes added the bad girl effect to the look with gunmetal colored studs atop a blush colored platform shoe. These shoes are so comfy! The peep toe of the shoe further balances the femininity of the look. My earrings are my favorite from Layered Chains you can find them here >>>> (barred-earrings). Use my discount of: thestylecake for 10% off your purchases. Of course if there is a current sale, use the bigger discount. (wink). My necklace is an old one. This is my first time wearing it but I didn’t keep the tag so I suggest searching for tribal statement necklaces to find it or something similar. I liked the contrast of the teal in the necklace. If you like my look (or hate it because that’s okay too), let me know below and be back here tomorrow for another outfit post!! I know, Im cranking these puppies out to make up for my semi-hiatus…not hiatus. Life just got hectic. Until tomorrow…

Bye Cupcakes!!

Effortless Style Week: It's Fall But…

Posted on by The Style Cake

It has been some real fall weather happening here in Michigan. I’m not mad but the brief influx of warm weather to give us a break from cold, wind and long bouts of rain is quite lovely. I’m taking advantage and dressing for the warmer weather. I have Hashimoto’s disease so sometimes I’m extremely exhausted. Days of sleep wouldn’t seem to satisfy my need for endless rest. That being said, I wanted to style an outfit that would be comfortable and pretty much effortless.

I found everything in my closet, purchased either years or months before. One of the basics of any effortless outfit is a basic tee or tank. I opted for an easy mauve-nude color tank from H&M and a pair of wrap-up-the-legs leggings from Karmaloop (online). My cardigan was purchased from Meijer. My shoes are Steve Madden. Love the simplicity of them, matching the effortless theme of this look. All of jewelry with the exception of my choker is from Layered Chains. Check out my review and get a discount code while you’re at it. I hope you guys like this look, share what you think below. I promise I won’t take offense. (smile)

Until Wednesday,

Bye Cupcakes!! 🍭

The "Purple Love" Experience 

Posted on by The Style Cake

I had the pleasure of being invited to an event in Detroit that showcases Detroit’s own fabulous designers and business owners. The event, held at the Eastern Market, drew in folks from all over the metropolitan area to see what Detroit’s own had to offer. My invitation was extended by Brittany, owner and operator of Purple Love, a jewelry boutique.

The event displayed fancy, classic, as well as boho statement pieces. I was very impressed with not only the jewelry but the business as a whole. The owner is very sweet and fashionable herself. (I loved her boots btw, I have a similar pair lol).  The event offered mimosas, and other beverages among an array of yummy treats. There were gift bags for everyone invited that was in attendance filled with goodies. I thought the event ended at a later time (and arrived at the very end) but the owner was more than willing to still show me around and share what Purple Love had to offer. I got a few pieces after I tried on and fell in love with them. The pieces definitely catch the eye and are true statement pieces. Most necklaces come with earrings to match. If you like, check out Purple Love on Instagram and support Detroit! She included a 15% off coupon for all of my followers to get a discount to shop for great, stylish pieces. I’ve included the coupon code and pictures below! Until tomorrow…

Review: "Layered Chains" (Updated)

Posted on by The Style Cake

Disclaimer: I purchased the items mentioned in this review with my own money.

I am a person that loves to try new things so when I came across a company on Instagram, I was eager to check them out. The thing about the company that I loved was that it boasted lovely and semi-dainty jewelry for very reasonable prices. The items that I saw did not look like “every other” jewelry company on Instagram. The company has not only trendy pieces, but they have timeless style pieces that are versatile to go with any outfit. I love that they have sales on a certain piece on Fridays and the sales are phenomenal. Usually the sale price is about $5!! That is definitely within anyone’s budget, especially those trying to save money and not spend a lot on staple pieces.

I ordered my jewelry on a Friday as I couldn’t refuse the sale on the gorgeous studs I spotted on Instagram. Honestly going on the site specifically purchase the earrings, I got sucked in by all the beautiful pieces that I saw. I ended up buying a gold bangle along with my earrings. Believe me when I say it’s truly hard to choose just one item lol. After placing my order, I immediately received an email confirming my purchase with the order detail. The following Monday was a ‘holiday’ so the package took about 4 business days to get to me. Since the shipping is inexpensive, I was very pleased with the shipping time. The owner is really sweet and promptly answers any questions or concerns you may have.

When I received my items, they were carefully packaged and wrapped along with a handwritten thank you card. Each piece comes in its own satchel that has gold “writing” of the company’s name. I opened both satchels to be pleasantly surprised because the pieces I ordered looked even better in person than online. The gold bangle is absolutely stunning with diamond cuts that allow light to dance off of it to make a beautiful sparkle. The knot adds perfect detail to ‘beef up’ the daintiness of the piece. I can’t wait to wear it! The earrings are a GREAT deal for just 5 bucks! Seriously! I’ve been looking for a nice pair of studs that can be worn for both casual and classy occasions and these definitely fit the bill. The quality is excellent!

All in all, I am very happy with my experience & purchase and would urge you to check out Layered Chains if you haven’t already. The price point is great. I’m a girl on a budget so I love a place where I can purchase an item that looks more expensive than the actual price. The customer service is great and the shipping is prompt. If you don’t know what to purchase, follow them on Instagram and check out the sales they have on Fridays. If you would like to purchase, I have a personal coupon code below. You can use it until December 31, 2015. I promise you will LOVE what you get! Check out the pics and let me know what you think!

*Sings* “Just one of them days…” Well, not one of THOSE days but…

It’s one of those days that I don’t feel like dressing up, but I don’t want to be bummy either. Ugh, the dilemma right? I found this cute graphic sweatshirt in my closet and paired it with some cute jeans. I was supposed to upload this last Saturday but life, well, you know. Let me know what you think of my get-up!

Sweater: Vintage

Button Up: Thrifted “Ralph Lauren”

Style Series: (Sweatshirt) Chic

Posted on by The Style Cake

It’s starting to feel like spring!

To me, late winter/early spring is perfect sweatshirt weather. I decided to do a two-part style series showcasing sweatshirts. Sometimes sweatshirts get a bum rap but if styled, they can be very chic. The sweatshirt I purchased is not typical in thickness so layering worked. What I love is the obvious label of “sweat shirt” on the front.   Check out how I styled it and let me know what you think!

Sweatshirt- SheInside
Distressed Jean Vest- Gadzooks
Fur booties- Shoedazzle
Skirt- Boohoo
Necklace- Jewelmint
Handbag- Justfab
