style — Fashion — Mint to be Trendy

Bonjour friends!

December always seems to fly by in my opinion, it could be because it has my favorite holiday in it (Christmas, duh!) or it also could be because I’m always swamped with my HR job at this time!! Are you guys ready for Christmas?

Anyway… I have to rave about the latest boutique I’ve found recently! Belle Isabella Boutique is run by this super sweet lady named Iffat Jarin, she’s located in MS but ships anywhere in the US! She recently launched her collection that is inspired off of Netflix’s show Emily in Paris (if you haven’t watched it…. WATCH IT NOW!). I instantly fell in love with this tweed blazer and loved the way Iffat styled it with the black belt and black beret, I mean if I can’t physically be in Paris right now I can at least dress like I am! I was so excited to receive it and I instantly wanted to play around with different ways I could wear it. See my styling outfits below, Iffat was also generous enough to give me a 15% off code for my followers to use anytime it’s: MTBT15.

Hi Lovelies!

I have been such a fan of Emily (Champagne and Chanel) and Dede (dressupbuttercup) for quite some time and when they announced they were doing a BFF collection with WAYF and Nordstrom I was over the moon excited for them! The collection launched in September of 2020 and I knew I had to snag a few of my favorite pieces!! Luckily for you, they still have some items in stock. Everything comes in sizes XS - XL. I decided to pair them together (don’t they look cute?!) and I also styled a few outfits with both pieces.

So I bought the Natalie Lace Camisole Bodysuit in the dark green lace but it also comes in a pretty pink color. I ordered the size XL, I’m a C cup and am 5’7” for reference. I also bought the Maddie Paperbag Waist Culottes in size XL in black but it also comes in a small cheetah print. I feel the Bodysuit fit me great and the Culottes were maybe a tad big on me, but I also don’t like things to be tight on me personally.

Here are some styled outfits with the Bodysuit as the star. In the first photo my tan coat I bought when I was visiting Canada last year, my red skirt is Amazon - my exact one is not available but I found a similar one linked, my black boots are Donna Karen from Macy’s a few years ago. In the second photo my hat is from Vici, jeans are my favorite brand Madewell, boots are also old from Dillard’s. In my third photo my blazer is from Kohls and my nude heels are old from Maurices.

Below are a few styled outfits where my Culottes are the star! In the first photo my headband is Dress and Dwell, my sweater is Loft, and boots are the same as above and from Dillard’s a few years ago. In the second photo my dressy tshirt is from Loft, and my heels are the same as above from Maurices.
