look 17: the makings of a statement piece.

you know that feeling when you find a new statement piece and can't help but get butterflies? like, when you slip on an item for the first time and just want time to slow down so you can enjoy it a little longer? yeah, that. that's kind of what i felt when i threw on this new tee from asos man. i think it's so simple, but so perfect–exactly what a go-to garment should be. take a look. -j

wearing: asos man velour chevron tee, topman tapered jeans, forever xxi biker jacket, puma basket tech sneakers.

breaking down the look

reasons this tee is amazing: 1) the chevron striping, 2) the collar piping, 3) the comfy velour texture, 4) that strong color. there you go, four solid reasons why this bad boy will definitely be one of my SS17 statement-makers. for this look, i styled the tee with a matching burgundy biker jacket and kept the overall palette on the dark side with a pair of faded black denim.

wearing: asos super skinny blazer In silver velvet and longline metallic silver t-shirt, reclaimed vintage pinstripe skinny trousers, house of hounds leather jodhpur boots.

breaking down the look

in my opinion, new year's eve style is all about the glitz and the glam—without taking it too far, of course. i doubled up on metallics by layering this silver tee with a matching velvet blazer. it's definitely an eye-catcher, but i think the darker tone and texture of the jacket lighten up the impact of the shirt to make it a cool fashion statement. i've also been obsessed with pinstripes lately, so these trousers were perfect and they slipped over the boots just right.

have a happy (and stylish) new year. 🎉

ASOS insider picks: november. 👍

look 2: caramel cream + pink sprinkles.

in honor of flashback friday, i'm sharing this look from last month. the color palette was so perfect (in my opinion). dusty pink is definitely building itself up to be a power player in my wardrobe this season, and i put this neutral look together to complement it. mixed with the right backdrop and the perfect lighting, the shots came out pretty nicely.

breaking down the look

the best thing about neutral dressing is that they almost always play together perfectly. while dusty pink's technically a pastel, it's soft and close enough to the other hues to blend into the color palette seamlessly.

ASOS insider picks: october. 👍

A few weeks ago, one of my Instagram buddies commented on how I always snag the best stuff from ASOS, so now that I'm an Insider, I thought it'd be helpful if I gave you guys a heads up on some of the best finds to shop on the site for the weeks ahead. I'll do this on a monthly basis, but be sure to browse around for yourself too—the options are on 100.
