Style Spotlight // Alyssa

I’m excited to introduce a new regular series to my blog, the Style Spotlight! One of the things I loved most about working at Forever 21 was being around people who could mix and match outfits in ways I never thought of. That said, I’ve decided to add a little fashion here!

Alyssa gets to be my inaugural Style Spotlight. She’s one of my longtime best friends (we initially bonded over a mutual love of cheese), and she has an awesome blog called Ruffle and Curl, which features her life as “a marketing specialist by day, a grad student by night, and a fashion/home decor junkie the rest of the time.”

What Alyssa’s wearing:
Leopard print button-down: J.Crew
Velour sweatshirt: Aerie
Sequin skirt: Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s
Boots: Nine West
Coat: Calvin Klein
Watch: Michael Kors
Gold link bracelet: 1AR
Scarf: Bought in Spain
Gloves: Vintage from childhood

How Alyssa describes her style:
“Relaxed trendy is probably the best way to describe it. I like to follow trends but mix in items that make me happy, like my tortoiseshell MK watch that has a hint of gold in it, or these booties that say, “I’m not giving up my heels just because it’s cold outside.” ”

Some things Alyssa loves:
“Ice cream, reality tv, pink moscato, getting dressed up, event planning, Sunday mornings on the couch with my boyfriend and our puppy.”
