Welcome to Style Sessions! This week it’s all about classic black and white, but of course one needs a splash of bright! I started with a print top and white jeans, then added this gorgeous fuchsia leather clutch (I love that you can monogram it) and a fabulous statement necklace. Oh and don’t forget some glam sunglasses!

Meet Our Head Stylist…
Today we’re joined by the lovely and oh-so-chic Dina, from Sweetest Somethings. As her blog name would elude, Dina is beyond sweet and always has something spectacular to share. I adored her recent look below… Ray-Ban’s, tall tan boots and a divine leopard trim coat – it’s style heaven!

STYLE Q&A WITH DINA…
What is your go-to look? My go to look is usually some kind of denim (I love everything from slouchy and distressed jeans to dark skinnies), a casual tee or sweater, an ankle bootie and a few dainty layered necklaces. I always finish my look with lipstick and lately I never leave without a great jacket because it has been so cold!
Which fashion trend are you currently loving? One of my favorite fashion trends right now is the full midi-skirt. I love how something so glamorous is getting day to day wear. I’ve also been loving the crop top, it’s so 90’s and fabulous. And I’ll always be a fan of all things leather, leather trimmed or faux leather… it’s all great in my book.
What inspired you to start your blog? I get most of my inspiration for style from pinterest, my instagram feed and great style blogs. I love seeing real girls and what they’re wearing. I wanted to inspire others with my love for fashion and real girl style. I don’t get dressed for fancy photo shoots, I just take pictures of things I’m actually wearing, products I really love, or anything else and share them. But mostly my blog is for me, I love creating the content and it’s a great feeling knowing others out there are reading!
Name three beauty products you couldn’t live without: Chapstick, They’re Real mascara by Benefit and Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer.
How would you describe your style? I’m a girly girl at heart, so I would say casual glam or girly with an edge.

Am loving your necklace and top, gorgeous
