Ashleigh, of The Daileigh is one cool chick. Residing in Maryland and blogging her heart out; her style is all about clean lines and trendy statement pieces. Chartreuse skinny jeans? Check! Army jacket? Check! Spike accessories and rad statement necklaces? Check! I love visually interesting outfits with a splash of color or an extra detail that makes it special and Ashleigh is a pro at that! Take a look below, the proof is all there!

I love this spiked jacket paired with a metallic clutch and patent shoes. It makes an all black ensemble sparkle with bits of interest!

Perfect color play!

Crisp white shirt and Louboutin’s? Absolute do! Such a classic look. I love the plaid clutch to keep it playful and interesting.

This is a great coat for staying warm and cute all winter. The drop waist ruffle and the peek of red lining are adorable details.

White on white is super chic and always in style. Love the spike clutch to keep the look fresh and young.

Sparkle sleeve army jackettttttt….you are my dream coat. Come to me.

 Camo is choice…all year, all the time. Love it as a clutch and love it even more with those lucite heels, baby-baby! Ooo weee.

As I may have mentioned before, winter is not my thing. I long for the hot and sunny summer months where days are long and there is a dreamy sense of youth in the air.  Alas,  seasons are not affected by my wishes. In order to keep our heads up and spirits bright through all the cold months, we have decided to start a new series for this season, Cures for the Winter Blues! For our first post I wanted to share a cool-blue, ocean photo shoot from Harper’s Bazaar Australia. This sun-drenched shoot full of sparkling waters and gorgeous clothing is starring model Annabella Barber and was shot by photographer Simon Lekias.

Feeling cold and tired? Get energized by these gorgeously bright and sunny photos below!

Last weekend we jumped on a plane, suitcases full of all the best LuLu*s pieces, to one of the best fashion events of the year! Two Point Oh! LA and their awesome network of bloggers, throws an annual LA fashion blogger holiday party called Snowball. This was our second year in attendance and we were so excited to meet all the girls in the network and to have a night full of fashion and giveaways! Of course we brought the famous spinning prize wheel and gifted some of the hottest holiday dresses. There were sparkles and sequins everywhere! Some lucky winners even took home $100 gift cards to Lulus.com! It was a great way to kick off the holiday season and to party with some amazing ladies!

Take a look at some of the amazing event photos below!
