I have been in love with these Chanel tights from a few seasons ...]]> I have always loved tights.  I am eternally a girly girl who wears a lot of dresses and skirts and our rainy Seattle days still do not stop me from wearing them.  My one solution is to wear tights with everything and this year I am in love with patterned and colored tights.  They are such an easy way to make an outfit go from good to FABULOUS!

I have been in love with these Chanel tights from a few seasons ago and these DKNY tights are a fab alternative!

I am all over these ombre tights.  How fun and unexpected right?

I just bought some adorable polka dotted tights but I am dying for some dotted heart tights!

Am just loving this trend and how it instantly changes up an outfit.  What’s your favorite fall trend?

Oh and if you are a twitter fanatic why not show your love on your tights! :)

Here are my picks and how I would wear them: (click on images to take you to the direct link)

It would go well with just ...]]> I know it’s August and still very much summer but with all the fall fashions coming out I can’t help but create my fall fashion wishlist already. Statement jewelry is definitely the accessory for this fall and I’ve already fallen in love with quite a few pieces.

Here are my picks and how I would wear them: (click on images to take you to the direct link)

Love the color and the chunkiness of this necklace. It would go well with just a plain black v-neck or add just the perfect touch to a little black dress.

Banana Republic

I love chain necklaces and layering with all the various necklaces that I already own. I would layer the 3 of these together to spice up a tee and skinny jeans.

Forever 21

I have a box full of bangles that I adore and have been wearing for the past year but this year it is moving towards these chunky and totally glamorous bracelets to adorn our wrists. These would go perfectly with that pretty little floral dress that you’ve been wearing all summer but add a cardigan to transition to fall and these bracelets for a perfectly effortless glam look.

J. Crew

So go out and stock up on a few key pieces, I promise you, they will bring any outfit that you add them to up a notch. Of course you can start buying them now and wear them early for the summer too! Here’s how I wore one of my statement necklaces this summer.

In real life though, I’d be too conscious of wearing something that short with heels. Although I know that it would help elongate the legs, wearing flats with short shorts ...]]> I am loving rompers for the summer. I’ve been spotting them on celebs and just think they are adorable. How great does Blake Lively look in this piece? The look is so simple, classy but totally effortless. I love how she matched it with the necklace and the totally hot pumps.

In real life though, I’d be too conscious of wearing something that short with heels. Although I know that it would help elongate the legs, wearing flats with short shorts is just as cute.

I found a couple of cute rompers that I’m planning on putting in my shopping cart and thought that it would be fun to create outfits with them. I get a lot of requests from my readers to post more “recessionista” friendly items and I wanted to play around with it to see if I could create two similar outfits but with totally different price points. The best part of this is that all items can be mixed and match so if you wanted to splurge on the shoes, you could still get the rest of the outfit from the “recessionista” set.

I chose a cute romper that I thought would be cute to wear throughout the summer along with a cardigan (as I mentioned, I am always cold!). I added gladiator sandals because it went with the whole casual chic vibe of the romper. I’m also never one without a big cocktail ring so found some options to wear with this outfit.

Recessionista:

Total outfit cost $94

(All links are linked to the items)
#1 – Lulu’s/#2 – Forever 21/#3 – Lulu’s/#4 – Forever 21

Richie Rich:

Total outfit cost: $608
#1: C&C Califonia (Revolve Clothing)/ #2: Michael Stars (Revolve Clothing)/ #3 Tory Burch (Nordstrom)/ #5 Ariella Collection (Nordstrom)

You might ask why I decided to mix silvers and golds together but I really love mixing them. I’m not one to just wear gold or just wear silver. The mix of the two makes it modern and fun.

If you want to know my ideal outfit it would be a mix of Recessionist Romper #1, with Richie Rich cardigan #2, Richie Rich sandals #3 and Recessionista ring #4. That total cost would be $475 but the expensive item is the shoes which I feel is always worth splurging. I imagine that the $18 sandals would be cute at first but I can’t imagine how comfortable they would be for that price. When buying flats, I like them to be as comfortable as possible. Of course just because shoes are expensive does not mean they will be comfortable but I own many pairs of Tory Burch shoes and find them to hold up really well and are super comfy. I walked through Paris and London in my Tory Burch flats and my feet were quite happy with me.

If you are looking for a mid-range gladiator, I think these Sam Edelman’s are fantastic and at $89.95 a great price for a good quality shoe.

Either way, I think both choices could do you no wrong. Since this outfit is more on the side of trendy items, I think the recessionista is a much better choice. However I do always think of the quality of items and how long it would last, which is why I went with the more expensive option of the cardigans. I know I would pair it with a lot more things and would get a lot of wear not only in the summer but in the colder months as well. In fact, I have 3 of those Michael Stars cardigans and I don’t know what I would do without them. I wear them all the time over all sorts of tops. They look great and don’t lose shape at all even after a ton of washes (which you will find with the cheaper options).

I love this photo spread, it makes me that much more excited that it is the summer and I get to go on vacation!

I will have to say that I will look slightly less glamorous. On our last vacation to Mexico, I fell asleep so much in the sun that my husband nicknamed me the “bikini napper”. I’m just glad he was nice enough not to take any pictures. :)

Doesn’t Nicole Richie just look amazing here? Her hair and makeup is perfection and I am always a fan of black tights with black heels.

I’ve been loving so many looks lately so thought I’d share my latest celeb inspirations.

Doesn’t Nicole Richie just look amazing here? Her hair and makeup is perfection and I am always a fan of black tights with black heels. The dress just goes so well with her jewelry that she is wearing (from her own line). Talk about a great way to sell your jewelry, she makes me want to buy it just by seeing this outfit alone.

I have never seen High School Musical, but I watch enough of E! news to know who Vanessa Hudgens is and I think she’s adorable. I love how she’s rocking the romper trend that I had mentioned a few posts ago. The flowery print and the lavender shoes make a perfect summery outfit!

(source)

I don’t really know why as the whole family kind of annoys me, but I watch “Keeping up with the Kardashian’s” which is how I know about the next little starlet. Adrienne Bailon is the little brother’s girlfriend. I love love how she paired a classic tweed jacket with shiny leggings and hot shoes! The balenciaga bag and the chain necklace is a perfect touch.

And last is Nicole Richie (again) who is so just the cutest (pregnant) mommy. I hope I’ll be just as cute when I’m toting my little ones around. I just love how casual the outfit is but not sloppy. The flowy dress with the tights and those amazing boots. I seriously want this entire outfit. And how cute is her hair tied up in a bun? I have way too much hair, my hair would never stay like that, but if I could I would do it!

Does anybody know who makes those incredible boots?

And oh the choices… so many pretty colors

I love this yellow (but I like it in all the other colors too)

botkier.com

And red is always gorgeous and can transition well into the fall

but I am really loving blues and purples.  Here ...]]> I love handbags (most of us girls do right?) and I love my black bags like no other but I’ve been really eyeing brightly colored handbags.  I love seeing them on other girls and am convinced that I need one too!

And oh the choices… so many pretty colors

I love this yellow (but I like it in all the other colors too)

botkier.com

And red is always gorgeous and can transition well into the fall

botkier.com

but I am really loving blues and purples.  Here are my picks:

all from revolveclothing.com

Clockwise from top left:

Kooba Kellyn $645
I love the shape of this bag and the royal blue would look great with so many outfits

Foley & Corinna Jet Setter $528
I am a huge fan of the Jet Setter bag, I already have two (in black and silver).  I just love the size and the shape of the bag and the design is simple but pretty.  I have never had a bag that gets as many compliments as the Jet Setter.  I love that they added purple for this season.  It’s the prettiest color and would be great for work and play.

Rebecca Minkoff Mini Nikki $575
I was immediately attracted to this turquoise blue, what a perfect color for the summer!  I don’t own that many hobo bags but have always liked the style.

Foley & Corinna City tote $485
And again, I already own the City tote in black so it’s not too hard to convince me to get another one in this purple.  It’s a really simple casual bag but I think that in purple, it would add the perfect accent to my outfits.

So, the question is… which one to get? :)

I love fashion and style which is what I mainly ...]]> Hello readers! I’m Tiffany from I am Style-ish and I am so excited to be joining Elizabeth Anne Designs Living! Just a little about me, I’m recently married but my husband and I have been together for almost 10 years. We had a dream come true destination wedding in Jamaica (complete with hurricanes!) and now are living the newlywed life in Seattle with our two adorable miniature dachshunds.

I love fashion and style which is what I mainly blog about but I think I’m most well known for my shoe collection. I write about my personal style on my blog but I will be covering a broader range of fashion, style and beauty tips here. I love reader questions so feel free to e-mail me with any of your style questions and will be happy to answer them through a post!

My husband and I recently started our photography business after years of being in love with photography. We finally took the leap into weddings and just shot our first destination wedding! You can find us over at style.ish.  I will be covering photography tips from time to time as well so I do hope that you find them useful!

It’s always nice to see who is writing so here are a few pictures so you can get to know me better.

My husband and I on our happy day!

Our two doggies, Savvy and Macho.

I regularly post Lookbooks on my blog to talk about my style and how I put outfits together so here’s a recent one. If you are interested in seeing more, head on over to my Lookbook posts.

(photo by my husband)

And one last thing, if you are curious where “style-ish” came from.  I actually married into the “Ish” last name, my husband has always been called “Ish” by his friends  (you know, guys and how they only call each other by their last names).  Since we both love style (yes, my husband is quite stylish himself) we came up with “style-ish”!

I’m so happy to be here and hope you enjoy my posts.
