This is a perfect business casual wear you can wear. I love putting the linen shirt over a button down long sleevedshirt and wearing a classic loafer with a pair of straight cut denim. This looks very clean and professional. You can add a belt if you’d like and pair it with your favorite accessories.
This is another classic style that you can wear for brunch with friends or watching a movies strolling in the mall. You can tuck your oversized poplin shirt over this high waisted skinny jeans as another way to wear it, you can add up a hat as well.
Love this oversized satin and can be worn tucked in or untucked. I would prefer wearing it with a belt to accentuate the waist area and this is a look I would wear for a business casual. You can also wear short sleeves depending on the weather and an oversized tee or an oversized graphic tee.

It is true to size and it comes in many colors. And I love that I can wear it indoors and outdoors. I wore this going to the store the other day. I just added a puffer jacket and some sneakers and it completed the comfy look.

The good news is although a leather skirt is a eye-catching piece, it is very easy to style. Maybe even easier than you first imagined.
Today, I am sharing 3 Ways to Style a Faux Leather Skirt and where you can wear it, either for a Fall Casual, Date night or Work Wear.
I will also share my tips on how to style a leather skirt to perfection every single time.
This is my first style trying out a Faux leather skirt. The skirt is only $17 dollars, and the material is thin, to be honest, but I do love it because it still gives good coverage. I mean you can’t beat the price of it!
So this is the first style I created for a Fall Casual look. I just added this old sweatshirt I bought from Stradivarius when we were in Italy last time and just added those booties. You can also wear this for Work and also as a Thanksgiving outfit since we are just a week away.

BLOUSE/ HANDBAG AFFORDABLE VERSION HERE/ SUEDE PUMPS SIMILAR HERE
Skirt And Blouse Outfit
This second look is more of a date night style for me. Loving the blouse and its sleeves and it just looks perfect for a lovely evening wine and dine with your loved one. Puff sleeves are great for adding a pop of texture to an otherwise subtle outfit. They also work with the tightness of the skirt to create a much more balanced look.
Just added a chic suede pumps to add more class to it. Along with my versatile gold jewellery and neutral handbag. I love this look because because it is very dynamic. Just change the blouse and it’s a completely different look.

When you are styling this look, don’t be afraid to play with the print of your pumps. Here I styled this outfit with giraffe print heels and I love it. Also consider leopard and plaid to further spice up your look.
How to style a faux leather skirt:
Find the right faux leather skirt for you.
There are many different brands, styles, lengths, and qualities of faux leather skirts out there. Luckily, you do not need the most expensive to create a great look.
Before you purchase a new faux leather skirt, consider what you like in a good skirt. Things to consider include length, thickness, type of leather, whether or not it has a zipper or if it’s pull-on, and the shine.
Pick the right color.
Black, white, and tan faux leather skirts are very easy to style because they are neutral. I love my black leather skirt. You can create a full neutral look or you can create a neutral base with your skirt and add pop of color. You can add a pop of color with your blouse, pumps, jewellery or handbags.
Or, you can also choose a colored faux leather skirt. If you do, it will breathe life into your wardrobe and could quickly become a favorite staple item. Just make sure you have plenty of other clothes to match.
Tuck in your shirt.
Because faux leather skirts are similar to pencil skirts and usually tighter and slimming, you will want to tuck in your shirt to ensure your outfit remains balanced. Otherwise, you may look too baggy on top.
Wear leggings / tights if needed.
If you want to rock your faux leather skirt on a colder day, just wear tights or leggings. It will not throw off the look of your skirt and it will keep you much warmer. Add some cold weather accessories and a nice topcoat and your look is complete.
Mix up the textures.
To avoid wearing several different shades of leather (like with leather knee high boots) and to keep your look balanced and eye-catching remember to mix up your textures. Since you already have a leather skirt, opt for other textures to complete the look. Some examples include suede pumps, a tweed blazer, or a cashmere sweater.
No matter your body style, you can wear a leather skirt. Just remember to keep your outfit balanced by following my tips.
If you are aiming for a feminine and elegant look, these type of skirts are one of the best options for you. Their cinched waists and longer hemlines can flatter and have a slimming effect on any body type. You can easily style them up to suit your mood, how they come in different styles and pleats. So I will be sharing a round up of items that you can wear with long pleated skirts.

My Louis Vuitton Graceful Bag review is finally here to guide you with your purchase if this is really worth the price. Let me give you first the reasons why I bought this style and this size.
I was already thinking of getting my 3rd Louis Vuitton Bag anyway and was thinking of getting more of an everyday purse that I can use dressed up or down. Another point for me is the size, I should be able to fit all my 3 year old daughter stuff in there together with my essentials. That is why the MM got me instead of the PM. The only thing I did not like about this purse is that the closure is magnetic and sometimes they don’t snap.
Louis Vuitton Graceful Dimensions
Length: 14 in, Height: 13 in, Width: 5.5 in, Drop: 5 in as you can see on the picture below on how it looks on me and my outfit.
Here are the other details that I love…
The supple flat handle is perfect for shoulder wear. It doesn’t hurt my shoulders! Body friendly design combines wit style and comfort.
I love that I was able to fit this bag organizer here for compartments! This canvas is an extra roomy yet lightweight bag to carry every day. I can fit a lot inside as you can see from the picture down below.
Where Can You Shop The Louis Vuitton Graceful Bag?
You can shop directly from the Louis Vuitton website which I did and had it picked up from the nearest store. You can also buy it pre-loved on Fashionphile and The Real real and you are sure you get authentic Louis Vuitton.
YSL Kate Bag Review to guide you if you are thinking of getting this purse. I’ve had this bag in my cart for a long time and finally I gave in bought it while we were in L.A. This marks my second YSL bag to date and I cannot be happier as it was all worth it!
It took me a while to get it as it is not in my budget then, second I was contemplating if I can wear it only on formal occasions and thirdly is what color do I really want. So here are my thoughts on this purse.
It is 100% calf skin leather meaning it is durable
It is also made of metal free tanned leather basically means it doesn’t stain. This is what I love about the material.
Measurement: 24 X 14.5 X 5.5 cm / 9.4 X 5.7 X 2.1 inches so there is plenty of space for your essentials. As you can see from the photo below. I can fit my big wallet, Iphone 13 pro max and a lipstick in there.
Love the magnetic closure
The shoulder strap drops at almost 19 inches
adore the gold tone metal making it look elegant
What I love about this purse is its versatility, you can wear it with casual and elegant outfits.
The price is justified with its quality and the color is just perfect t to wear with anything! I love this vs the YSL Kate Bag Small because of the size. I must say this is worth the price!
Hello everyone! And welcome back. Today, I am reminiscing about my family trip to Ocean City, Maryland. We loved our trip so much a couple of years back, we will definitely be visiting again.
There are so many things I love to share to all of you about our family trip to Ocean City, Maryland. We have not been here in like 4 years and here was the post from 4 years ago. For everyone asking on my Instagram, we stayed in this newly opened Aloft Ocean City. The whole family really enjoyed and I know you will too because of all of the reasons I will mention here….
By the way, if you are on the hunt for a cute vacation outfit, see the outfit I wore above. It was very simple, but very comfortable and flattering. I especially love the hat to protect my face and eyes. And the shoes were surprisingly comfortable for my pregnant feet.
9 REASONS TO STAY AT ALOFT OCEAN CITY
1. Accommodations.
The front desk is easy to find and you can ask them for anything! The rooms are very stylish and the interior is just superb, not just for adults but for everyone! Each room features bright white linens and black detailing for a very modern look. You will also find hints of yellow, orange, navy blue, pink, green, and so on in the rugs, couches, etc. The colors make for a very exciting stay.
The beds were super comfy, we got the 2 queen size bed with the Bay view. And I can not lie, the view was spectacular. They even have a Teepee tent for the kids and comes with disposable 3 in 1 toy to play with. How fun? Our everyday view in the balcony was so relaxing facing the waterfront seeing all those people jetskiing, parasailing, canoeing and paddle boarding.
2. Dogs stay free.
Aloft Ocean City graciously allows 1 pet per room with a max weight limit of 40 lbs. This is very convenient for solo travellers, couples, and even families that have a pet you would rather keep nearby. They even have food in the common areas for the dogs. How considerate?
We just didn’t take Mojo with us as we already have 2 kids to take care off. Lol! But, we will keep this in mind if we ever stay in this specific hotel again.
3. Dining.
They have 3 dining options, the Re-fuel open 24 hours and WXYZ Lounge open for dinner with bar and Liquid Therapy for the open bar in the outdoor pool area. Between the different menu’s there is always something different to try.
At the WXYZ Lounge, you will find a menu of American food. The dress code is casual and they have live music during the summer. The Re-fuel is full of grab & go meals, and other essentials you might require during your stay. Hit the Re-fuel on the way out on your busy day. Or, use the Re-fuel as a quick way to grab breakfast. A Liquid Therapy, you will also find American Food, as well as cocktails and other beverages, just by the pool this time.
So if you just wanna stay in and don’t go anywhere you are covered. You wouldn’t be hungry. The location of the hotel is close to other outside restaurants if you want to try something else.
Not many hotels even offer bike rentals, but Ocean City Aloft offers complimentary use of beach cruisers! Wow! They are available for use from 7am-8pm on weekdays and Sundays. We were unable to use this benefit because I wouldn’t be able to bike. But this is something we will surely do next time when we come back after having baby Andi.
5. Complimentary Water Taxi Ride to/from Seacrets Jamaica USA
If you enjoy drinking and/or partying at a bar, you can catch a free water taxi to and from Seacrets Jamaica USA. “A lively waterfront nightspot with several dance floors, tropical cocktails & Caribbean-inspired eats.” This is only weather permitting, of course.
6. Indoor and Outdoor Pool.
Ocean City Aloft offers both an indoor and outdoor pool option. This is really great in case you plan on visiting Maryland in the Fall or Winter. The indoor pools are good to use when it is chilly to swim outside like what happened to us on the second day. I know that my kids appreciated still being able to swim and play in the water. The outdoor pool has nice bar were you can order mocktails, cocktails and some sandwiches when you are hungry. Very convenient. It is by the bay and has the best Sunset view.
7. Activities.
Ocean City Aloft even has a game room where they have different board games and big sized Jenga and Connect 4. The kids loved playing here, and it was nice to not have to pack so many games and entertainment because it was built-in. They also have a billiards, which is very nice for adults who like to play as well. After all, it is vacation. They offer rentals for canoe and paddle boarding as well which we would have tried if I wasn’t pregnant.
I never got the chance to workout but my husband did. It is very nice when hotels have nice, clean gyms so that we don’t have to skip our workouts. Staying in our routine during travel is one way we burn off extra steam and stay feeling healthy throughout our vacations. Although chasing around other children is a workout in itself as well. Anyway, my husband said that in the gym at Aloft Ocean City, they own some of the coolest equipment to have, even state of the art equipment like the Peloton.
The beach is just 2 blocks walking distance from the hotel and can be seen from our floor. Very close and very doable, even while pregnant. The kids really enjoyed the beach as they were able to build sand castles and boogie board. At the beach there are a lot of water sports you can try like parasailing if you are adventurous.
When taking the children to the beach for the day, I recommend bringing some toys for building castles and playing. As well as some chairs, umbrellas, towels, plenty of sunscreen, and some ice cold drinks. Oh, and don’t forget the snacks. Snacks come in handy for everyone and ensure you can beat the heat, adults included.
Family-friendly activities in Ocean City, Maryland:
Old Pro Golf: A fun filled day of mini-golf in an expertly designed indoor course that features Prehistoric Dinosaur and Undersea Adventure. Check out the specials to get a deal on your day of fun.
Jolly Roger Amusement Park: An amusement park fit for the whole family. Attractions within the park include roller coasters, zip lines, swings, and GoKarts. Very fun!
Frontier Town Western Theme Park: This Western Theme Park is very cool and very fun. It was built in 1959 by Bill Pacey and Bill Paten. And it is meant to represent a replica of the old Western towns in the 1880s. Here, you just might come across some Western inspired dancing and even a play pretend bank robbery. As well as train rides, stagecoaches, pony riding and camping, and even a water park.
I hope I was able to give beautiful insights about our recent stay here. You can take my word for it.
Other than these nine reasons to visit Ocean City, Maryland, you can expect great and free wifi 24/7. This is true in the rooms, in the dining areas, in the arcades, and even by the pool. They also offer express check-in for those that need it, as well as conference rooms for businesses to hold meetings, parties, and conferences.
Aside from the restaurants located on-site and nearby the hotel, you can also order cooked-to-order breakfasts. So yummy and so fresh. Breakfast is available daily from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM for a fee. But when you smell how good the breakfast smells as you venture downstairs, you will want to try some for yourself for sure.
The nearest Airport is Salisbury Airport. It is a 30 mins drive away and unfortunately, Aloft Ocean City does not have a shuttle to and form the airport. But with such a short distance, an Uber should relatively inexpensive if you decide not to bring a car. They offer on site self-parking, as well as charging stations for electric vehicles.
