Everything about my style is very balanced. As in masculine & feminine. I get bored only doing one over the other. Our home in San Diego is very mixed and our LA condo might even sway more masculine. And obviously the wedding was FULL of contrast. I started very soft & feminine with the The Welcome Party and gradually moved to more masculine vibes for The Rehearsal Dinner pt 1 & ( pt 2 ) & our wedding night. Because that’s just what I prefer. It feels natural and I love it. Michael does too.
I’m all about embracing that sense of balance with clothes, too. Sometimes I’m craving a vixen look and go full fem. But then I’ll rock a hoodie or oversized flannel. Even one of Michael’s. Always balanced though.
I just need both styles in my life, no question.
Check out the 2017 winter fashion trends I’m loving so far. These pieces are all about contrast . A little feminine. A little masculine. Loving it all.
{ FIND THE BLACK FISHNETS HERE }
It doesn’t get more sexy or feminine than fishnets. But not in a girly girl way, in a confident woman way, you know? I’m LOVING them under ripped jeans & they’re also easy to throw on under a dress. So fun.
{ FIND THE RIPPED JEANS HERE }
These ripped jeans are on-trend and way comfy. I’d pair them with a sheer blouse or bodysuit. Perfect balance of masculine & feminine.
{ FIND THE OVERSIZED MENS HOODIE HERE }
OK, obviously I’m obsessed. I’ve talked about this hoodie on SNAPCHAT probably more than I should. I live in this thing. And it’s actually from the men’s department. Hands off, Michael.
{ FIND THE MASCARA HERE }
I’m reallyyy picky when it comes to mascara. But this stuff is amazing! Full, long, sex-kitten lashes. Easy to apply, perfect with a bright lip. Sold.
{ FIND THE WHITE HIGH TOPS HERE }
Everyone needs white sneakers, but some are boring. The high-top aspect here is cool, yet cute. Mixed with a little skinny jean moment or even cut-off shorts for summer. Or an ultra girly top. Yes please!
If you want to see more of my obsessive balancing in action, see all the wedding content ( still more to come, I promise ).
Hope you have a great weekend! I see a lot of eye pad and hydrating mist moments in my future. And a fun birthday celebration tonight – follow along on SNAPCHAT!

I love and agree with all of these except for the white high tops. I just don’t know if I want a pair of those. Ha!
Do what works for you! xx
Black fishnets and the white high tops can be a perfect match. I am just kidding haha :). They are adorable!
Because an advent calendar is a part of our own family tradition, I’ve put these ideas to work using that framework, but of course the intent transcends particulars of faith or tradition. It’s a list of 24 things that we might all be able to do with our families in this darkest time of the year, in hopes that they might help bring some light to the world around us.
