OOTD:: Business Casual

Two weeks ago I road tripped up to my dad's show market for furniture and rugs up in Highpoint, North Carolina.  My dad owns his own rug business called Chandra Rugs. The rugs are beautiful, handmade rugs with amazing textures and looks imported from India.  Seasonally, show markets are held to display wholesalers products and I love to help him out and check out other businesses!  People dress anywhere from super casual to business formal.   Usually, I like to wear business with a hint of casual since there is a lot of standing and walking done.  Here's some pictures of my weekend at Chandra's amazing, newly designed and newly branded showroom!
Here's how it looked when customers first entered! Welcome! :)

The first set up as you walk in displaying how a Chandra Rug could be set up and displayed.


Our Thomas Paul Collection.  Love his designs and colors!


The bar/coffee area to entertain our guests/buyers!

Have you tried a Chandra coffee? :)

This was my favorite room!  On the chalkboard wall was the question, "What is Modern?"  Here, guests could write what they thought were modern.

Love the mirrors!

Chandra pins :)

And now onto the outfit of the day:: 

Lace and prints!

I loved this look because it was fitting to my age compared to all the older businesswomen but yet classy and business enough for the occasion.  It was pretty chilly so I added a simple touch of tights underneath and covered up with this cute black fitted blazer.

I love everything lace and paired it together with this eautral printed top!  Kept it to black and white colors.  Always a perfect go to!

ps, don't forget to smile =)

Mani Mondays:: Neutral Ombre

Neutral Ombre

Good Morning y'all!  I just first want to say thanks for checking the page daily and sending messages, it does mean alot! I'm truly sorry about slacking on OOTD and food entries and whatnot, but I am back and not as busy now.  
Hope your weekend was as fun as mine! I'll post an entry later this week about what mine was filled with :) exciting things!  Onto Monday Mani! This week I just wanted something solid yet cute, and with my love of ombre, I figured why not do a neutral ombre?

Here are some of my favorite ombres::

who doesn't like a little sparkle? 

another form of the neutral ombres::

Have a great week! Keep your head up and helping!

OOTD:: Black and Cream


Today's outfit of the day is inspired by neutrals.  Black and cream is just a classic combination that it could work for just about any occasion.  I love that I could get my favorite nautical look in the cardigan but still keep it toned down to classic, non-overwhelming colors.  Some may think that black and cream could be either dull, old, or formal looking, but here is a great way to play these two color combos together and get a fun, yet classy look!  
I added a simple bow necklace from Forever21 paired with a BCBG necklace.  The white/creme shine paired with the gold accents from the cardigan buttons works perfectly.  Add some black sandals to complete the look!
