Lace with grace 2 looks | Fashion

Everyday isn’t about the glam look. I’m so grateful for that! As I enjoy dressing up, I turn my everyday causal outfits into splendid looks by adding a little bit of edge and classic element to it. There are days where I have various different events to attend, but I’m just not too sure of what to wear. I know we all have been in that position. I have finally found a solution for that. Lace dresses are the way to fix that. Everyone can look good in them. That is why we see some kind of lace pattern or design is used in almost every bridal dresses. Lace by itself adds a very elegant touch to a garment. I personally feel that anything lace looks very flattering. I would opt for anything lace for days when I’m unsure.

            In this post today, I will be sharing two looks with you guys. My first look is what I like to call shades of grey. This beautiful Body Con dress sole my heart in just one look. I personally think grey is not my color but, I do like to experiment with colors so, I brought this dress anyway. I’m so happy with my purchase. This dress has different lace patterns covering the entire dress from top to bottom. I love that the color fades from light grey to ash grey at the bottom. I feel that the layers of colors add more definition to the lace details. This dress also has stunning shaped back and neck line. I would wear this dress for a night out or for evening party. With Glam makeup look with winged liner.

How I styled the dress

1.      Wore grey heels with sliver sparkle in the front.

2.      Sliver statement necklace.

3.      Pandora bracelet.

4.      Little diamond studs.

5.      Lose curls on one side.

Look two which I’m considering wearing for thanksgiving party this year. If I end up wearing something else I will make a blog post next week. My mom helped me to pick this dress. I’m so happy that we had a similar choice for dress. Black everything is my favorite so, I had to pick this black lace dress. This dress is short and fitted at the bottom and has a split open back. I feel this dress gives illusion of skirt and top as two complementary colors are used to make this stunning one piece. I would wear this dress to almost any event, whether it’s, wedding, party, dinner date, or even church. This dress is a very classic piece. I’m glad I have it in my collection.

How I styled the dress

1.      Black pencil heels.

2.      Gold chain bracelet.

3.      Red lip. Lipstick in color Cherry Frost in shade number 539A.  

4.      Fishtail braid on one side.

Slutty Brownies | Baking

          I’m back with one more baking post. As you guys seem to really enjoy the Halloween spooky cake post. During this time of the year I crave to eat sweet treats. For me it all starts from autumn treats, pumpkin pies & Halloween candies. Now as thanksgiving is coming up in just two weeks. I thought of baking something special for my family & friends. So I thought of making some brownies because who doesn’t love some yummy brownies? On this recipe I took my own little spin and added few extra layers to my brownies. So that’s why I named them Slutty brownies. Trust me they taste as bad as their name.

            For the bottom layer I added a thick layer of chocolate chip cookies mix, in between I added Oreo thins so they gave my brownies some texture and a bit of crunch. Then finally on the top, I spread in nice layer of my brownie mix. I usually love baking everything from scratch but for this recipe I purchased everything mixed and ready. Just because it was three layered recipe I choose to go with boxed mix. Also honestly, I have been super busy lately so for the sake of time I didn’t make it recipe from scratch. Do let me know if you guys will like me to do any new baking post.

            So let’s get started with the prep of our slutty brownies. Down below are all the ingredients that you need along with the pictures step by step and the directions. Good luck baking this delicious and gooey brownie goodness. Don’t forget to send me pictures if you try baking them.

Ingredients

For the brownie layer

1 (18 ounce) box brownie mix, prepared and unbaked.

For the Oreo layer

1 (15 ½ ounce) package Oreo cookies.

For the chocolate chip cookie layer

1 (18 ounce) roll ready-refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough.

Directions:

1.       Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.

2.       Line the bottom of an 8*8 baking pan (I used a Pyrex pan) with tin foil and then spray the foil liberally with baking spray.

3.       Make the brownie layer per box instructions (without baking). Set the batter aside.

4.       Get cookie dough ready.

5.       Time to Assemble!

6.       Start by gently pressing the cookie dough into the bottom of the pan, making sure to create an even layer. (I found it helpful to use the back of a 1-cup measure cup)

7.       Then add a layer of Oreos on top of the cookie dough. Nudge them as close together as possible without overlapping.

8.       Pour the brownie batter on the top of the caramel- Oreo layer. Use a spatula to make sure it’s even.

9.       Bake for 30-35 minutes.

10.   Test with a knife to see if the center is done. It’s OK if the knife has some brownie on it. It’s easy to over-bake the cookie layer if left in the oven too long.

11.   Although you can scarf these right away (they’ll be crumbly but delicious and gooey!), they actually get better with age. Let them rest for several hours for easier handling and serving.

12.   Don’t forget to enjoy these delightful brownies with your family.

I hope you all enjoyed this baking post. Until next time, keep hustling for your dreams. Jessi, Xo.

Neon strips | Fashion

           I’m sure we all had that neon phase. For me personal, back then neon wasn’t very pleasing by itself. Once, I went on a hunt for a neon shirt for school’s spirit week. I didn’t have anything specific on my mind but I didn’t want anything too bold in neon. After spending almost 3 hours shopping I finally found this strip neon shirt. I’m so glad that I found a semi-neon shirt which stays in my closet year around.

            I wore this gorgeous neon strip shirt from Hollister for a Sunday brunch with my friend.  I like how the shirt stands out so well! Without over powering the colorful fall leaves. I wore neutrals to balance out the look. My pants are from Aeropostale and my army jacket is from wet seal. I’m also getting a lot more use of the leather black boots which are from forever 21. I love styling them with any fall outfits. Here is one more look pairing those http://jasikadias.blogspot.com/2015/11/fall-in-love-fashion.html . They have a cute buckle on one side and zippers on other. It was a causal brunch and park stroll so I didn’t wear much makeup. I had loose curls, little pearl earrings and little bow ring.

            I hope you guys had amazing weekend and are ready to conquer the week. New post will be up next Sunday. Until then, keep hustling for your dreams. Jessi, Xo.

Fall in love | Fashion

         Hello November! October has been a breezy but, I hope November goes steady. I hope you all had a very happy Halloween. My October Blog series is over already, but I have some super cool post planned for November. I’m so thrilled to share them with you guys! I will share some more fall theme post this month. In this post, I share one of my favorite look this fall.

         This outfit is definitely my style in a nutshell. It’s by far the one which I could just easily put together. I’m wearing this lace dress in wine color. I brought it from forever 21. It has ¾ sleeves which is great to keep warm in fall. Over it, I wore this green jacket which is a staple piece in my wardrobe. It also keeps me extra cozy which is great because we have colder falls in Michigan. I purchased this army jacket from wet seal. I completed this whole look with a pair of my black leather boots. I absolutely love these stunning boots from forever 21. They make any outfit look ten times better. I would literally wear these boots all around the year if I had too.  I have been styling this boots a lot this fall so except more looks coming up with these boots in next posts.

                 Sweater dresses are a must have for your closet this fall! But this beautiful fitted dress is a winner for me this fall. This lace dress is literally the comfiest thing ever. The right fit and pretty fall color makes it a stylish piece.  Great for those days when you want to be all dolled up for some cool events and still look effortless. I wore a pair of big white pearls earrings from H&M and keep it simple with jewelries because I feel the outfit all together says it all.
