BEAUTY MUST-HAVES

SEVEN TIPS TO STAY MOTIVATED

Let’s face it: taking care of your body as you get older is hard to do. I find it more and more difficult to stay motivated and to stick to…

RUFFLE ONE SHOULDER TOP

One of my favorite trends this season is the ruffle one shoulder top. Tuck it into tailored pants for a polished look or throw on some jeans and wear it…

RED COLD SHOULDER DRESS

Happy Monday friends! Do you like the new look of Belle Meets World?! I hope you do because I worked all weekend on it! But not without a little break…

YOUR FAVORITE TOP TWO WAYS

I don’t know about you, but I am definitely NOT one of those wear it once kind of gals. I only buy pieces that I either love so much I can’t wait to wear them again or that are so versatile I can’t stop wearing them because they go with everything. This gingham ruffle top is one of those uber-versatile-can’t-stop-wearing ones. It looks so killer with denim that I’ve found at least two ways to wear it and want to show you how you can take a favorite top and do it, too!

BROOKLYN BRUNCH DATE AT BUTTER & SCOTCH

This weekend I was in New York and had brunch at Brooklyn’s latest hot spot, Butter and Scotch – it’s a bar and bakery with a sweet little menu with biscuits, cocktails and desserts. In fact, they’ve just been named ‘Best Birthday Cake in NYC’, and now I know why. It was truly the best cake I’ve ever had with the perfect icing to cake ratio (the most important ratio there is). 

WHY MIDI LENGTH IS THE BEST LENGTH

You might’ve noticed that I can change my mind about certain styles over time. One day I hate peplums, the next I love them. I thought orange was the worst color ever. Then I challenged myself (and you all!) to try it, and now I just can’t get enough. Today I’m obsessed with midi-dresses but just a couple months ago I thought it was so unflattering. I think that just goes to show that you have to work with something for a while until you find the best fit for you. And you also have to stay curious and open-minded about clothes if you want to unlock your most flattering and fun style.
