Happy Tuesday! I’m excited to share that this top is on sale for 40% off! I was pretty confused when I put it on and couldn’t figure out which was the front or back…lol. So I ended up styling it both ways….because hey it works! It’s back to reality after being in NYC for New York Fashion Week. Can’t wait to share my experience with you! I’m currently working on my Fashion Week posts…stay tuned!!
Hi girls! Please excuse the mess. (actually that’s what it looks like when it’s pretty much clean…sorry hubby). I’m pulling together some new transitional looks for you! I would also love to hear any ideas or suggestions you might have for upcoming posts!! I’m here for you and love to help. Please send an email to aylin@stylinbyaylin.com.
As for this look…the cardigan currently only has one size left. But I’ve seen it get restocked…so I’ll be on the look out. If you like this fabric I found an exact matching sweater and sweater tank. (here and here). Also found a similar cardigan here! This Tee is also a new arrival and runs a little big. Hope you had a great day…and I’m looking forward to hearing from you! xx
Hi everyone! I almost said happy Thursday…but it’s only Wednesday! I’ve had total mom-nesia lately. Anyone else?? I know this is super random to share but I had my first chiropractor appointment today. I was super nervous (sweaty palms for sure)…but It was so amazing. I never knew how off balanced I’ve been all these years. And I’m amazed to learn how it not only affects physical aliments but also emotional. I do feel more relaxed, less stressed, happier and more comfortable. Anyways, just thought I would share… and if you’d like to hear more I can write more about my experience in a future blog post.
Today I’m so excited to share my ALL time FAVORITE wardrobe staple item. The Statement TEE”! What is a statement TEE?? Well I would say it’s a Tee shirt that has a little something extra to it. Whether it’s a billowy sleeve, pleating, ruffles or a unique neck line. And this one in particular is my favorite. Wear it with layers, over dressy pants, baggy boyfriend jeans, cut off shorts or even a maxi skirt. I love that the material is super casual but the fit has some serious style going on. I’m wearing the size XS here and would say it runs true to size. I wore a strapless bra underneath to wear it off one shoulder. But you can wear it on both shoulders too with a regular bra. To add extra interest I layered a couple long dainty necklaces over the top of the TEE. Added skinny jeans, slip on heels, one of my favorite handbags and oversized sunnies to achieve this low-key-styled look.
You can get this entire look from Nordstrom.com or Nordstrom stores. I love how they are the true definition of a one-stop-shop! (Where else can you buy the cutest clothes-shoes-bags, boob pad inserts, kids socks, jewelry, toss pillows, home decor and don’t forget the dry shampoo…lol)
See below for more pics….

P.S. Here’s another view of these shoes!
I love the crisscross design and especially the slip on factor.
A ladies best friend.
Below I’m listing some of statement Tee options. . .

Hi girls! Today was my kids first day of school…so it’s back to routines, early mornings and no excuse for me to skip the gym anymore…lol. I recently got some new pieces that I’m very excited to share with you. This pullover is one of them! (also available here and here) The picture below is the real way to wear this top. I played around in the image above and tried to make it work off one shoulder. I’m wearing the size XS here but would be curious to see how one size up would look with the off one shoulder look. NOTE: This top is see through and I would recommend wearing it with a tank or cami underneath. It’s super soft and light weight. And I’m in love with the sleeve detailing!
You can shop this top here and the rest of my look below…
Hi girls! I have to admit that there are times I’m guilty of rolling out of bed, throwing on the quickest thing….a hat, unbrushed hair, no makeup and then I’m off to school carpool. I’m also guilty of wearing my house slippers out the door (by mistake…oooops). I have my friend Carrie and other school mom friends as witnesses to my very un-Stylin attire some mornings…lol. So with rushed, hustle and bustle mornings quickly approaching I wanted to share my quick and easy 5 minute make up routine! Well… it was actually 5 minutes and 14 seconds to be exact. But even when super rushed just taking that extra 5 minutes will make a huge difference about your day.
You’ll feel more confident and motivated (from my personal experience).
Please see below for my 5 minute make up routine!
.
.
.
SKIN
.
Step 1: After washing my face I mix a quick cocktail of my SPF 15 face moisturizer, foundation and a drop of MAC’s Strobe cream. This cream mixed with these 2 products will give you a DEWY, fresh skin look!
Step 2: Under eye concealer and all over highlighter. GIRLS! If you have not tried this product…you must and will love! It’s on the pricier side but I can’t even tell you how great this product works. And it does last a long time. (I always like to justify the investment with my hubby…lol). It’s like magic. I like to dab some eye cream on first….then I apply this concealer. I also frame around my lips (to give a fuller pout look) , the bridge of my nose, under my eyebrows and it also works good on smile lines. NOTE: I like to dab the product with my beautyblender.
.

EYES
.
Step 3: This step really helps makes tired eyes look more awake! A quick sweep across the top lash line of MAC Fluidline and it will last all day. I have the color: BlackTrack and use this brush for application. And sometimes I add a pencil eyeliner to my water line to help make my eyes even seem more awake. Next is mascara. I swear by this primer! I’ve used it for over a decade and will use it for life.
.
.

.
.
.
CHEEKS
.
It’s amazing what a little color on your cheeks can do! I’m a huge fan of mixing my blush and bronzer. I love MAC’s blush and then top it off with my favorite bronzer. I also sweep some across my forehead, nose, chin and on my decollete. Then set it all with a spritz of MAC’s prep and prime fix.
.
.
.
.
.
.
LIPS
.
This last step is the icing on the cake. And literally because the smell of my lip gloss reminds me of cupcake frosting. YUM. This shade is perfect for mornings because it doesn’t look like you’re trying to hard. It’s moisturizing and very natural. Color: BoyBait. Sometimes I use MAC’s prep & prime underneath. Note: It works best when you use a lipstick vs a lipgloss.

NEW GOALS
My goal for this next school year is to go to bed earlier, wake up earlier and enjoy at least a few minutes to myself before the kids wake up. I’ve really been into journaling daily and this would be the perfect time to do that. And coffee too…of course!
Keep’n it real
I don’t make the time to curl my hair in the mornings. (exception would be a campaign to shoot). So I make do with some dry shampoo (this one is amazing!). But homegirl needs a good deep conditioner…if you have any you love please do share!! Email me at aylin@stylinbyaylin.com. This pullover is my new favorite and I love how it has a unique shape and style to it. Wear it off one shoulder, both or cowl neck! And joggers are my obessesion. I’m not a fan of putting on tight pants first thing in the morning. These joggers are also perfect for chilly mornings.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this post helps inspire you or someone you know. Even if it’s just a few extra minutes out of your day…it’s so important to take care of yourself. xx
Happy Thursday girls! I hope you’re having a great week. I always get emotional this time of year…when it’s back to school time. Don’t get me wrong…I’m looking forward to having some what of a routine back, any sort of me time (that’s all pretty much non-existent in the summer). But it reminds me of how quick my kids are growing up and how fast the years do go by. If anyone has any tricks on slowing down time…please email me! I try to be present throughout the day and especially in special moments…but sometimes it makes me sad. I think I think tooooo much sometimes…lol.
This top is perfect to wear over skinny jeans or leggings because of the length! It is on the long side…just fyi. I’m wearing the xs here. It runs true to size. It also comes in a bunch of other colors…see here!

Hope you have a beautiful day and thank you so much for visiting my blog. I appreciate you very much!
Hi everyone! I’m so excited to share today’s Nordstrom collaboration post with you! With cooler weather just around the corner I’ve been researching the best transitional pieces for your Fall wardrobe…and off the shoulder is a sure favorite! I love how this OTS sweater is super cozy but shows off just the right amount of skin to keep your look stylish and sophisticated. Here I styled this very versatile sweater with distressed denim, a suede handbag, ankle booties, oversized sunnies and some fun jewelry pieces! This top is super soft, comes in other color options, and can be worn a few different ways. Off both shoulders, off one shoulder or cowl neck. I would recommend styling this top with white or blue skinny jeans or cut off shorts. Shoe options can be either flat sandals, ankle booties or I always wear these favorite shoes! (mine are so worn out…I might need to get a back up pair. That’s how much I love and wear them!)
.
Keep scrolling below to see more details on this look.
I’m also sharing other OTS sweater tops that I love…details at the end of this post!

Hope you’re having a great week. I posted a sneak peek of my kitchen renovation last week (here)…there are still a few loose ends that need to be done and of course all the touch up work that comes with a remodel. I’m also amazed at how long it takes for furniture to arrive. Some of my pieces have been backordered until November…Nooooooo! But at least they are more accent pieces and not a dining table or sofa. Speaking of sofa’s ours finally came in! They are slip covered and we are loving them. The sofa we had before was sooooo deep. We had it custom made for our loft when we lived in downtown San Diego. With 20 foot ceilings it worked out great for that space. But now that we have a slightly smaller space and lower ceilings…so it looked a little overwhelming. I’m just waiting on some accent pillows to arrive and will be posting photos of it soon!
Now on to this post…I absolutely love this dress! The sleeves are actually embroidered and the detailing is so pretty. I love the puffy arm because the dress is on the short side so it feels like it balances it out nicely. I wore this out to Hotel Del last weekend for the Love Tatum event. It was the perfect day dress. It runs true to size…I’m wearing an XS here. I also love this dress here.
Happy Sunday everyone! I’ve missed writing you this past week. How have you been? It’s crazy how busy our summers can get with our schedules off, family in town. Throw in a remodel and a huge swarm of bee’s that decided to move into the exterior wall of our home (no joke)…and it really throws you off. LOL. Anyways I’ll be back to my normal posting schedule in no time. And I just want to say how I’ve missed it! Today I wanted to share how you can wear Taupe color/accessories with any kind of denim wash. These booties would look beautiful with whites, black, dark or lighter denim. Here I paired it with a lighter wash and added this super soft TEE (under $25!) and one of my favorite new bags. (here and here).
FYI: I ordered one size up on this top. I also ordered my true size on these boots. They run a tiny bit big (at least on my foot). I’m curious to see what 1/2 a size down will fit like so I’m going to order those as well. If you end up trying them out please let me know what sizing works best for you?? Would love to know! xx
You can shop my Tee and booties Here and Here and the rest of this look below…
Happy weekend friends! And in honor of the weekend I’m sharing an amazing new find for me in Denim!! Even though my dad just can’t get past the fact that I spend a penny on any jeans with holes in it (lol)…I personally love the look! If it’s styled with the right top, shoes and accessories it can give your look a more laid back, effortless feel. Today I’m teaming up with PacSun and styling 2 different Denim looks for you. One is more of a casual relaxed fit…and the other is more of a fitted sleek style.
.
.
LOOK #1
This has weekend casual all over it! These jeans are comfy, soft and come exactly as you see them here. I sized down 1 size…they run big. These Tee is suuuuper soft too (wearing the size S). I’m linking it here, the jeans here and keep scrolling down to see the other PacSun Denim look I styled.
LOOK #2
This look is a great example of being able to take a look from Day to Night. You can easily wear sneakers or flats and then dress it up with heels and a dressier handbag, jewelry, makeup, etc. These jeans have a very unique wash that I love! The fit is very flattering. Just a side note: these do not have real pockets…but the sewn in look a like pockets. That is why I’m putting my finger through the belt loop…didn’t know what else to do with my hand/lol. FYI: I’m wearing my true size.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! I appreciate you so much and hope you have a great rest of your weekend!!
Happy Friday! This week flew by and I’m so ready (yet again) for the weekend! There’s still a couple more weeks left of our remodel…but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Our sink faucet was installed yesterday and our plumber is making sure it’s all in and ready to use for the weekend. Yay for running water in the kitchen!
Today I’m teaming up with Abercrombie to share my favorite New Arrival pieces and this neutral-layered look! When investing into new pieces for your wardrobe I have a few rules I like to follow. Solids are my go to. Prints are fun, but realistically can only be worn so many times. Feel the fabrics…I’m huge on comfort. Even if it’s the prettiest top in the world, if it feels itchy or not comfortable on the skin…you will not wear it. That’s why I’m such huge fan of Abercrombie. There pieces are true to size, comfortable, affordable and now appeal to a much larger audience. Plus I can always find great basic pieces (aka: solids) that I can wear and re-wear over and over. Thank you Abercrombie!! xx
This top was a sure winner the minute I tried it on. I wear a regular nude bra underneath. It has a beautiful lace-like detail. I love the higher neckline too. I styled it here with a gorgeous suede jacket and distressed girlfriend jeans. You can shop this top, jacket and jeans (here, here and here)…and the rest of my look below!

I’m also sharing some of my favorite new arrivals! Please see below….

Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a great week. Our home re-model is still underway! It is taking way longer than I had expected…but funny enough that should always be expected with a remodel. We are still living with no kitchen and I can official say I am sick of eating out…lol. I’ve been daydreaming of making my kids the most delicious chocolate chip pancakes once we get our kitchen back! Can’t wait to share all the details with you! My other love is the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ! It is in full swing since last Friday when it opened to Public Access. These sale prices will be going back up to full-price on August 7th.
(the last day of the sale is August 6th).
.
Today I’m teaming up with Nordstrom to bring you Neutral Favorites of the Sale (that are currently IN STOCK!). Neutrals are always my go to. They are not only pieces you can wear over and over but they are easily interchangeable. More bang for your buck. This look I’m featuring is something I would wear during the day with sneakers and also meet my husband for happy hour and dinner by just swapping out the shoes and jewelry. This jacket runs true to size. Please keep scrolling below to see the full look and other neutral apparel favorites from the Anniversary Sale! Bonus: I’m also including favorites from accessories, shoes and handbags to tie in your whole look!
You can shop this jacket (here) and the rest of this look below…
.

Another thing I love about having neutrals in my closet…is the flexibility of wearing it Now vs Later. I’m including some other options below so check them out and let me know if you have any questions? You can comment on my last instagram photo or send an email to aylin@stylinbyaylin.com.

I’ve been stalking this SOLD OUT dress for months now…and I finally found it available in ALL sizes! It is one of my favorite dresses in my closet right now. I love the color, the details (look at the embroidery, tassel fringe…etc!), the fit (it’s a shift style…my fav!!). It reminds me of summer time and going on vacations. This dress (here) is similar and is on sale right now for under $40! I also love this dress (see here). And this dress (see here) is the exact same…but in a TOP version. You can shop this dress here and listing it for you below! P.S. I’m wearing the size XS here. I would say this dress runs true to size.
Hi girls! Hope you’re having a great weekend! We have family in town…and we’re just about to head out to grab a bite to eat, but I wanted to share more details on this flatlay really quick. This is one of my FAvorite color schemes. I love the mix of whites and blush tones. I ordered 1/2 a size down on these shoes…and sized up one size on the sweater. I think I could have even gone up another size on the top. Both sizes would work since I tend to gravitate towards the oversized look. Those 2 pieces are also part of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale.
Hi friends! It’s almost tgif…So ready for the weekend. Our house re-model…(like most) has been having a few speed bumps lately. So with that being said I’m looking forward to a weekend when there are no workers in our home so I can enjoy my family without having to leave the house…or hide upstairs/ lol. There giving us another 2 weeks. I’ll share another insta-story with video updates soon. In other news…I stayed up till 5:30am last night rounding up all my favorites of the Nordstrom Sale! It was a fun night…my hubby helped with Web stuff while my assistant and I got everything ready for the release of our updated Stylin by Aylin App. Make sure to download it for Free here. I added an NSALE tab with all my TOP picks of the sale!
This look above is a favorite because it is neutral, comfy and I love the price. This dress also comes in a pretty pink color. I had to grab that one up too. These booties were love at first sight. I would try your true size and also try a 1/2 size down.
Hope you were able to find some cute things at the Sale! P.S. I’m also linking some similar shoes for those of you that don’t have early access. (see here)
Happy Sunday everyone! I’m so excited to share this find with you! I have a full look coming soon….but wanted to do a quick preview. It’s the perfect transitional top. It’s super soft and is a piece you will get lots of wear out of. I’m wearing the XS here. It also comes in a couple other color ways. The price is awesome…and I’m planning to pick up another color. The arms have a slight flare which I LOVE ♥
I want to thank you all so much for being such amazing followers. I had mentioned on my instagram that I recently hit 100k and would not be where I am without you & your support! To celebrate & give thanks I put on a Nordstrom Gift card giveaway…and I’m so excited to mail these out to the winners!!
I am planning more giveaways in the near future so stay tuned.

Happy Friday everyone! I just got this Tee and I’m so excited to share some details on it. As you might know I’m Tee-shirt obsessed. It’s not only comfortable and practical to wear…but you can make it stylish too. One of my favorite date night looks is actually skinny jeans, a TEE, high heels, statement earrings and a cute purse. I love the mixing of dressy and casual pieces. You can shop this TEE here and the rest of my look below!
