A Little Lace

When I found this top I knew I had to share it because it is the perfect top for the perfect price, $34! What is even better, it comes in four different colors; ivory, black, olive and rose. I opted for olive (it is more of a sea foam if you ask me) because it adds to my wardrobe and it looks great with white pants. But for the price you cannot go wrong with grabbing a couple colors! Throw this top on for an efforlessly chic look. The lace trim along the bottom is a fun added detail. Click the link below to view the top online!

Imagination, Transformation!

It is so easy to just get rid of something that doesn't fit or serve its original purpose anymore, but it is so much fun to make it into something else that you can wear over and over again! I wore a navy long sleeve lace dress to my cousin's wedding (photo with my family below) a couple of years ago, perfect for the event and a great buy... 

A couple years later I put it on again for another event to find that it was way too short, so I made it into something new...a top! It was so easy, all I had to do was shorten the hem to a top length. Now I have a new piece that I didn't have before!

After transforming my dress into a top I was thinking about all the other things I could do to transform my clothes! I will be sharing the transformations on here with you guys! If you have an article of clothing that you would like made into something new but cannot do it yourself let me know! Think of the possibilities!

Happy 1st Birthday Invisible Crowne!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!            

Today my blog is one year old! Thank you so much for following my fashion journey through 2014. I can't wait to keep it going through 2015 and continue to do giveaways, tutorials and much more!!(keep scrolling and reading for my first giveaway for 2015)

The weather is definitely starting to change and get colder so going outside with just a jacket is not going to cut it. You need to have the basics covered; ears, neck and hands to stay warm and to be able to last out there!

My coat is by Andrew Marc, I love it because of its mixed media! I can dress it up or down so it is perfect for any occasion! It is from South Moon Under but not on the website so contact me if you are interested and I will try to find it for you! 

Same thing with the headband! It is not listed on southmoonunder.com but I can find it for you if you are interested. It also came in navy and wine! 

Madewell Booties

Echo Design Touch Gloves

Plaid scarves are one of my obsessions right now! I love all the different color combinations that you can pair with all of your outfits. I love them so much that I have made some, I knew if I liked them that I should make a couple more if other people were interested!! So here is what I am going to do...my first giveaway of the year!! All you have to do is like Invisible Crowne on Facebook and share this post "Happy 1st Birthday Invisible Crowne!" on your page! I will randomly select two people on Tuesday Jan 6th. After that, if you did not win the giveaway and would still like one, I am selling them for $20! Limited quantities available so let me know asap if you are interested! 

Today is the first day of this 365 page book so lets make it count! Have a great one!

5 Winter Essentials

Five Winter Essentials

With winter's approach there are a couple pieces that you must have to be functionally stylish. Being appropriate, warm and fashionable for the weather is key to getting through the cold and snow season. There are always a few new pieces you need to add into your existing winter wear to update and polish your looks. While researching online for my new winter essentials I found Raise.com, a sight that has discounted gift cards from any retail you can think of and you can also get cash for your unwanted gift cards. Check out their website to discover discounts, deals and to start selling! Click the links below...

Renee C Poncho/Rag and Bone Black Legging Pant/ Tory Burch Riding Boots/Kate Spade Marryanne Purse/Mac Red Lipstick/Mac Red Lip Liner

My first must have is a riding boot. You can wear it with leggings, jeans, skirts or dresses and they always look great. Riding boots are comfortable, fashionable and a great winter staple!

My second must have is a skinny pant that can also be worn as a leggings. These Rag and Bone black pants do just that, they are soft and and are a perfect fit and go with any length top.

My third winter essential is a poncho. All you have to do is wear a tank underneath and you have your outfit. It is a great change from the everyday sweater and it is so comfortable and warm.

My fourth essential is a red lip. Seeing that my outfit is so neutral I wanted to add a pop of color, it really added to my look. Winter time can get a little dreary so this is a great way to brighten it up!

Lastly, an everyday bag is a must. During the winter we need to carry around gloves, hats ect. so this Kate Spade quilted purse will be on my arm all winter long. I bought this bag last year on Cyber Monday and it is still one of my favorites!

What are some of your winter essentials?!

Thanksgiving on the Shore

My grandparent's house is one of my favorite retreats, it is a relaxing place to spend time with family, especially on a holiday like Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for all of the people in my life and spending time with family is one of my favorite things to do. The view of the Chesapeake Bay on one side and the thick forest on the other is so peaceful and the perfect way to spend this holiday. Beni is happy to run free and play frisbee. All seasons are beautiful on Taylors Island but this time is my favorite, all you need is a cozy sweater and your boyfriend jeans. My Neely cardi is perfect for this time of year, it is oversized, has pockets and is so comfortable. I paired it with my blue free people tank and my boyfriends for a casual look. Pair the oversized sweater and tank with leggings and riding boots for another way to wear this outfit! The Free People tank, my new obsession, is available in many colors and it is a great basic for underneath all of your winter-wear.

Every winter I try to find a couple of classic sweaters to add to my collection along with new undershirts to add a pop of color. Mixing and matching your old and new winter clothes will freshen up your wardrobe and open up endless looks for all winter long!
This is exactly where I will be spending my Thanksgiving and I am so excited for it! I hope that everyone has a beautiful Thanksgiving with their loved ones!

Fall Essentials

I created an online book to put together some of my must have clothing essentials for Fall. This list will help you to figure out what you need and what you already have. If you have everything on this list you will be well on your way to the perfect fall wardrobe. Reuse pieces that you have had for a while in different ways and get creative when making outfits so you are not over spending. Make sure you are spending your money on staple pieces for your closet and then find the deals on the fashion pieces to stay within your budget! Happy Shopping!

Winding Down Casually

 Even though summer is almost over, this weather is making it hard to believe. I am glad I can squeeze out a couple more summer looks because I am not ready for the change of seasons just yet! This dress is the perfect everyday, casual dress. The chambray fabric is so soft and it has a subtle tribal print that gives it a little something extra. I am loving the high-lo hem because you get the illusion of a maxi from the back and a mini from the front! Since the dress is so basic I was able to add some fun jewelry to the look to add a little pizzazz.

Even though I do not want summer to end, it is inevitable. Transitioning into fall is hard but I am excited to start to do that on the blog with some clothes I already have along with some new pieces to  save some money and look amazing! Stay tuned!
