SAME DRESS.  SAME BAG.

DAY…TO   NIGHT

It’s all about the shoes when you’re going for dressing down a look.

 These converse are not only stylish & comfortable…but I noticed that these are not as heavy as the original Chucks.  One of the things I always check before making a SHOE purchase is…THE WEIGHT.   If the shoe is too heavy, I usually put it down…no matter how cute it is.  I have pretty sensitive feet so if the shoe is heavy it will most likely be less comfortable…especially if you’ll be doing a lot of walking.  Also a heavier shoe is more prone to causing blisters.  (this is just from my own personal experience).

As for other casual sneakers I also love this one...and this one !

You can also dress down a preppy dress with a distressed denim jacket.

Use a cross body bag when dressing down your look.  Use a clutch when dressing it up!  (this bag converts from a shoulder bag, to a cross body…to a clutch!)  Love it.

P.S. For more details on how I styled this dress “Dressy” see this post here.

Love the girly-ness and sophistication of this dress!  The sleeves have a unique detail which makes the dress!  Quality is an A…and as far as fit goes, I would say it runs large.  They also have this dress in a longer version and another color-way which I included below.  Hope you had a great day!

Happy Tuesday!  Well sneakers and dresses are one of my favorite pairings.

These shoes run a little big.  (i normally wear a 7.5 and ordered a 7).

Dress runs true to size.

This dress would also be cute to wear as a tunic over skinny jeans or cut off shorts.

Happy shopping!

This dress!  Effortless is the first word that comes to mind.  It’s an easy throw on.  You can wear your normal bra.  And love that it has a touch of Boho.  One of my favorite styles I like to incorporate into my wardrobe.

Front tassel ties allow you to wear it v neck style (with a lower cut)…or how I wore it.

Tied on top

I’ve been living in these zip up lace up sandals!

They’re so comfy and go with so many different outfits.

Loving the shoulder cut out detail.

Love these gorgeous pieces from Idalia Baudo Jewelry

Dressed down my new favorite handbag with a super soft slouchy TEE,

white skinny jeans and these super comfy sneakers.

You can shop this entire look at Nordstrom.com!

For this TEE you can either tie a knot on the bottom edge of the front piece…or

grab one side of the front piece and the other side of the back piece and knot them together.

Once you knot it…loosen it a little so it’s not pulled too tight.

It might take a little playing around with to get it just right.

Coffee + Tee shirts + Sneakers = “these are a few of my favorite things”

Shoes run true to size

White and Grey is one of my favorite combo’s

This cross body bag is high quality and the price is right!

I’m wearing this dress as I type and I love how effortless and comfy it is.  It runs true to size, is off the shoulder and has a pretty, pretty lave sleeve detail.  fyi…the lace is soft to the skin (not itchy). Also color is more saturated and has more of an orange-ish yellow than the pic above. (see dress here for color).   The back falls a tiny bit longer than the front and has beautiful movement when you walk.  There are only a couple sizes left…and is going fast!  I hope they re-stock this dress soon!  And even better…if they restock in additional colors.  I would buy another color in the dress in a heartbeat.  We had a busy day…my daughter ballet, errands and playdates and now trying to get in a little work during naps “quiet time”….I’m pooped, need caffeine.  Hope you had a great day! If you have any specific questions about this dress send me an email and I will do my best to get back to you asap.   aylin@stylinbyaylin.com

I love blowdryers that are not too loud and get the job done!

Love this one from T3 micro

Here are some T3 Facts

• 3 Tourmaline® SoftAire™ technology cuts down drying time resulting in a faster and healthier blowdry.
• An ion generator produces shiny, frizzfree results.
• Quiet and lightweight, the Featherweight Luxe 2i provides users with a luxurious drying experience.

And bonus…it also comes with a round brush!

I have to be honest about my hair.  It might look ok in pictures but don’t be fooled.

It can get super dry…and my ends are fried!

My last hair cut was over 6 months ago…eeeeekk!  (that might fix some of the split end issues)

Anyways one thing that helps my hair a lot is keeping a tub of coconut oil under my bathroom sink.  I use it once a week.  I apply the oil about 1 hour before I wash my hair.  PUT IT ALL OVER.  And especially work on the ends.  I then clip it up.  Wait an hour.  Then rinse it out.  CAUTION:  be careful when you rinse it out.  Not sure if you’ve ever had coconut oil get in your eyes…but it stings like a Mo-Fo!  Repeat an extra rinse with shampoo to make sure it all gets out.  You’ll notice softer smoother hair right out of the shower.

Thanks for stopping by today…and have a great weekend!

I usually like to pack away my Winter clothes in the Summer.  But I always keep my white oversized sweaters folded and ready to grab.  They’re perfect for chilly summer nights.  Throw them over your maxi dress.  Also perfect to use as a swim cover up if you’re going to bonfire at the beach.  The one I’m wearing is from Freepeople last summer.  I linked some other options for you below…

Hope you had great day!   xx, Aylin

I ordered these wedges in a 7 and a 7.5 (normally wear 7.5).  At first I was going to keep the 7’s.  But I have really sensitive feet and I love wearing the foot petals in the heel area.  So I ended up keeping the 7.5 so I would have room to put the cushion.  FYI:  This color I ordered was not what I thought it would be when I opened it!  One of the pairs was A LOT brighter than the other!  The pair I’m keeping is more of a toned down subtle coral-ish tan.  (btw…I’m talking about the suede part of the shoe).  You can shop these shoes here!  One more thing…they come in different color options too!

Happy shopping!  xx, Aylin

This silky soft off the shoulder has a ruffle detail that I just love!

Styled this top with dainty layered necklaces, retro sunnies and my favorite bag.

You can shop the necklace here. 

These shoes are such a great wardrobe staple.

They go with so many different looks, are comfy and add a little height

Wear a nude tube top underneath if you’ll be wearing this top in cooler temps.

You’ll be surprised at how much warmer it will keep your body!

I love things that look expensive, have great quality…but don’t break the bank.

I teamed up with Nordstrom to bring you some gorgeous handbags that are under $200!

The minute I laid eyes on this gorgeous bag below, I knew it would be the perfect neutral bag that can be worn year round!

This look is perfect for those busy days running around town, sightseeing, brunch with friends, weekend errands…etc.

Basically you’ll be able to get from Point A to B comfortably and in style!

Best part…ONE-STOP-SHOP.  This entire look is available at Nordstrom.com

.

.

You can wear this bag 3 different ways!!

1. Crossbody   2. Over the Shoulder   3. Clutch (removable straps!)

This skirt is very versatile!  Easy to dress up with high heels and a slinky tank.

Or dress it down with comfy sneakers and a cozy Tee shirt.

FYI: skirt runs LARGE

For reference I ordered the Regular…(not petite) and I’m 5-7″

I keep loose change and my ID in the front zipper compartment

Love the gunmetal bolt detail on the bottom!

The straps are very comfortable and can be adjusted!

And love how you can remove the straps…

….and now you have a CLUTCH!

These shoes run large.

I normally wear a 7.5 but went with a 6.5 and even had room to put foot petals on the inside heel.

(But no room to wear socks…lol)

All of these items I’m wearing are available at Nordstrom.com.  I love how easy they make shopping.  With FREE shipping and Free returns it saves so many trips to the store with all of our busy schedules!

White on white perfect for summer.  Warm up the look with warmer tones…like these suede heels and this suede jacket.  These shoes are not heavy and very comfortable since you get to adjust the fit with the lace tie ups.  They run true to size and come in different color options.

Hope you had a great Wednesday!  xx, Aylin

How cute is this eyelet detail at the bottom of this top!!  Love!!

This top runs small….so I would recommend going up in size.

I tried my normal size and the off the shoulder part felt too constricting…so I sized up and it fit more comfy.

Also by going up in size added a little length…which I like.

You can shop this top here….and the rest of this look below.
