I love finding great priced fast fashion so that I can embrace every trend without breaking the bank. One of the worst feelings is investing so much in a piece that no longer is in style! Tobi is an awesome company to purchase these types of pieces without skimping on the quality! – A dream come true! They offer current trends at a very reasonable price point, and you receive exactly what is pictured on site. I’m going to show you how I styled three pieces from them, and my thoughts on each, enjoy!
Reptile Print Skirt
This is my favorite piece! This material is lightweight and moves beautifully! I styled this skirt with an elbow length turtleneck and OTK boots. The black really brings out the print of the skirt and makes it the focal point of the look. Since I have light hair I went dark with my top and boots, but would recommend pairing with a tan turtleneck and nude OTK boots if you have dark hair. The contrast looks beautiful! This look is perfect for work, weekends, or pretty much any activity you have planned this fall and the skirt is at such an amazing price, it makes no sense not to order it! Since the closure on this piece is a side zipper, I decided to size up and get a Large but the skirt fits true to size so I could have actually worn a Medium.
White Dress
Since this is a bodycon dress I decided to size up on it as well, and am glad I did! It is very short and the material is pretty thin. There is a lining, so with a slip the dress is perfect. I styled it with a black fuzzy shawl from Express and nude heels I ordered from Hautelook. This is the perfect evening out ensemble. I love the bar detailing at the shoulders! It adds such a special touch, and makes the dress so unique.
Back Lace Up Sweater
Seriously the softest, most cozy sweater! This piece is super boxy and oversized, but that is all part of the charm! I ordered this sweater in a size small and it fits perfectly for an oversized look. I would recommend sizing down on this piece. I paired it with a faux suede hat, and dark wash jeans from Mott & Bow for a comfortable weekend look that’s ideal for running all of those last minute holiday errands.
I definitely recommend checking out Tobi for amazingly priced, high-quality fast fashion! They also have great gift options for the holiday season!
Hi Friends! So I have rounded up a few of my favorite dresses that I have been wearing on repeat lately and wanted to share! These are all perfect pieces to wear day to night, depending on how you style them, and are super affordable AND comfortable! I would also like to add that they each incorporate my favorite fall trends! From embroidery, velvet, to jewel tones these dresses will cover all of the fall trend bases!
Scallops & Jewel Tones
I stumbled upon this dress at a Nordstrom Rack online sale and just had to get it. Fit and flare dresses are my favorite silhouette because they are so flattering, and the color is what really sold me! I absolutely love the scalloped detailing along the neckline, as it adds additional dimension and interest to the piece. When wearing jewel tones I like to either go much darker or much lighter with my accessories and in this case I chose lighter. This cream faux leather jacket adds edge to this feminine dress, as does the matching booties. You can easily style it with heels and an up-do for a more sophisticated night out look. Best of all, this dress is constructed of a heavy stretch material so you are supported as well as comfortable in this piece! I have linked this dress as well as other jewel tone dresses here!
Mesh & Embroidery
Perfect for warmer days, before it gets really chilly, this dress is just so darling! The collar is such a feminine detail – I definitely feel like a doll when I wear this dress. The intricate floral embroidery brings this dress to life, and I think it will even look great with black tights, booties, and a faux fur coat when the temps drop, so it is easily transitional.

Bell Sleeves & Velvet
This dress is by far my favorite find! I actually was shopping at Marshall’s for a PJ set and on my way out spotted this amazing dress. Obviously I had to purchase it and have loved wearing it ever since! From the bell sleeves to the mock neckline, this velvet dress oozes style! Finished with a sapphire blue color and scrolling floral print, this dress is the perfect statement piece! I kept my accessories to a minimum, only pairing some blush strappy heels, my burgundy Coach Dinky, and a tassel chain necklace. If you are loving bell sleeves and velvet, I have linked some of my favorite dresses here!
Hope you enjoyed this dress round up! I’d love to hear what your favorite trend right now is!
This blog post was sponsored my Leo & Nicole. All opinions are my own.
You can never go wrong with a great sweater during the fall and winter months, but what do you purchase? The cozy cowl neck or the scoop neck sweater you can pair with your favorite statement necklaces? I say, get them both but when you can get both for the price of one, even better!
Enter the Leo & Nicole convertible cowl neck sweater! This ultra soft knit sweater features a removable fold-over cowl neckline with faux buckle detailing, a relaxed fit, and a rounded tunic length hem. This sweater seriously has it all! With the extended length, you can wear it easily with leggings and tall boots, and since the neckline can change so can your style. Here I will be sharing two ways I styled this one sweater so you can see just what a difference a collar makes!
For the first look, I decided to wear my hair up. When I wear tops with exaggerated collars I tend to put my hair up as it gets in the way. Since I chose a ponytail, statement earrings were a must. Here I went with my favorite handmade earrings from Berry & Leather. They are so lightweight and finish the look effortlessly. For jeans I am wearing distressed black jeans from Dear John Denim, and buckled ankle booties from XOXO. The booties add height and extend the leg keeping this look long and lean.
For look two I kept the same jeans and changed up all of the accessories to show how different this top can look! To complement the lovely red shade of this sweater I decided to go with gold-tone and cognac shades. To remove the cowl neck from the sweater all you have to do is detach it from 2 small clear buttons on the back of the neck. Since I am wearing the sweater as a scoop neck now, I wanted to wear my hair down and add long layering necklaces to balance the look. I decided to add a fun snake belt from Express, faux suede booties from Rampage, and my signature Henri Bendel bag for finishing touches.
This style looks great tucked in or untucked as I have demonstrated here. – It is just such a versatile piece!
Overall I think this sweater is really great quality and offers a variety of options for styling. Pieces like this one are amazing wardrobe essentials, and being offered in an assortment of colors, there is bound to be one perfect for you!
In my eyes, a look can go from good to great with just one piece. Sometimes it’s a necklace, shoes, a dress or in this case, a cape! *Not to be confused with a magician, or superhero! Capes are a chic and trendy way to add a layer of warmth, and to make an entrance. This is the first cape I have purchased and I must say it did not disappoint.
A cape is such a dramatic item to don. I selected this particular one because it was not made of thick coat material, but more of a blazer/vest construction. This item is perfect for an evening out, or amping up your transitional gear for fall and winter.
For my first styling with the piece I wanted to add a touch of sparkle, so I paired it with a sequin embellished tank from Express (similar). The hint of shimmer is excellent, and really makes this look special. I selected black skinny jeans and my favorite fall over-the-knee boots by Steve Madden.
For a final touch, I added a classic pair of black sunglasses (similar), my Kate Spade tote (similar) and this gorgeous branch necklace from Fascinating Diamonds. The delicate chain makes the branch appear weightless, such a shimmering and elegant piece of jewelry.
This is the perfect dinner, or evening out look! I cannot wait to start wearing this out and about this season and feel more cape purchases are in my future! I have linked similar capes and complementary pieces, so you can create your own fabulous look!
I am in love with all of the military inspired outerwear I have seen on the racks this season! The structure and metallic buttons has always been one of my favorites to wear, so when I came across this XOXO beauty, I knew I had to purchase it! The color and buttons all scream military refinement but the peplum hem adds a touch of flirty feminine fun!
This past month I had the opportunity to partner with Yosi Samra for a fall campaign where I was able to try out two styles from their shoe collection and review them. Their fall line in out of this world and I am so excited to share my faves with you! The selections I landed on included the Valentina, in fig suede, and the Vivian in metallic boa.
If you are unfamiliar with Yosi Samra, they are a shoe brand famous for the foldable ballet flat which transitioned into an expanded line of shoes with a split sole. This design makes them super convenient to pack for travel, and incredibly comfortable!
Vivian
Metallics are a huge fall trend this year so I selected the Vivian in this amazing golden tone, platino! I’m also a huge GOT fan so these shoes really appealed to me as they remind me of the Targaryen style with a dragon scale inspired flare! The material is extremely lightweight, yet durable and subtle pointed toe adds the perfect finishing touch. The insole is plush and extremely comfortable and the split sole design keeps your feel flexible and mobile. I have enjoyed styling these with dark jeans and rich caramel, burgundy shades as well as cheetah prints.
Valentina
This is the perfect shoe to slide on and go! The comfortable and luxurious suede construction hugs your foot and the wrap style keeps the shoes securely on your feet. This dark burgundy shade is one of my favorites for the fall season and I love to incorporate it in accessories and lipsticks so, these shoes were the perfect selection for me! Opposite the Vivian, I like to pair these with light wash denim, and golden tones.
I personally love nontraditional flats which makes this brand perfect because they offer such a wide selection of quality made flats in a variety of silhouettes, such as the Vivian and Valentina! But if you have a love for the classics, they offer those as well!
I must say that I am very impressed with the quality of construction, premium materials used, and overall design of Yosi Samra shoes. The brand is definitely luxe, with an affordable price tag! And what’s even better? If you shop now, you can get a 20% discount with “HALEYS20” at checkout from their site, so what are you waiting for?!
So back in July Chloe Dao celebrated her birthday by throwing a 50% sale at her Houston boutique! I had never visited the season 2 Project Runway winners store before but just had to go and check it out! Her store is super mod and her assortment is amazing! There is something for everyone with a touch of fun prints, edgy hems, and lux fabrics.
I purchased this oh-so-cute jacket in this amazing mustard color (similar). This color is my favorite right now for the start of fall, and the design of the jacket is just perfect! What makes this visit to her store even more special is Chloe was actually there! We got to meet her and she helped us shop a bit!
So to style this look I paired the jacket with a black and white striped t-shirt by Chaps (similar) and black skinny jeans by Jessica Simpson. I want all of the attention to be on the jacket so I kept my accessories solid with my signature Kate Spade tote, and these beautiful over- the-knee boots by Steve Madden.
To give the ensemble a finishing touch I wore this exaggerated stone ring by Blandiri. It is adjustable, gorgeous, and pairs so well is so many different styles!
