Spring Lookbook {Madewell}

I love this lookbook from Madwell. It's full of clean colors, fun silhouettes and tons of stripes (my favorite!) These are my 5 favee looks. Especially the white skirt in the middle, how gorgeous!
I'm just dreaming of spring, as it's a snow storm outside today. Have you seen any good lookbooks lately? I always love this time of year, it's so inspiring!

StitchFix Unboxing {And Review}

Hi my lovely readers!
Today I got my second "Fix" from StitchFix! I talked to my stylist about the things I wanted in my wardrobe and even showed her my favorite Pinterest board full of inspiration!
They really hit the nail on the head with this Fix. I loved every single piece! Some of them I can't keep because they just don't fit perfectly but they were all great. 
I cannot say enough good things about the stylists and customer service at StitchFix and if you haven't signed up yet you have to now! 
Patterned tank. I saw this on the StitchFix Instagram and fell in love! They put it in my box for me. :)
Isn't this tank amazing? The sequins make a leopard pattern (or cheetah? I can never remember) which is so neat.
The COZIEST shearling and knit sweater. Where was this last week when I needed it in the -18 degree weather?! One of my faves. 
This dress is so fun. It would be amazing for a night out, what cool touches? And the sheer is on the back as well. Sadly, it doesn't fit quite right on me. 
Lastly, this studded cuff. It's super heavy so I know the quality is great. And this would look amazing everyday for some added sass.
I have such a hard time deciding what to keep! I know which pieces are my favorite, but which do you think I should keep? Help!!
Have you tried StitchFix yet?! (If not, sign up here or click the box at the top of my sidebar). If so let me know how you loved it! My girlfriend Lyndsey and I love sharing our boxes and helping each other decide what to keep. 
This is why I love you amazing readers, you can help a girl out!

As If! {Wildfox SS 2013}

So, Wildfox is one of my all time favorite companies. The designers are amazing, the clothes are so cute. But my favorite part is always the story behind each line. Whether it's completely made up or very influenced by their lives, these ladies know how to capture your imagination and pull you into their world. 

I fell in love with their Spring/Summer 2013 White Line—modeled very closely after the movie Clueless.
"I am a total, absolute, shopping addict. The whole phrase “retail therapy” is like… well, my life. The high (and guilt) from shopping is unlike anything else, and when I can, I put it to use. This is definitely something to laugh about as long as you don’t have too bad a case of it (100K of debt, 70 credit cards, all you think about, talk about, etc….) I began to imagine what my shopping addiction would look like if it was its own beast outside of me, it’s own feminine character – What would she look like? And so the White Label collection shoot was born: a diamond obsessed monster with glitter for hair and shoes made out of chandelier crystals, she’s sort of 90’s (like my high school days) sort of 80’s (like my obsession for St. Elmo’s Fire and Demi Moore’s bedroom) and sort of absolutely insane. This girl sleeps in high heels, puts glitter in her cereal and watches infomercials all night long. She’s a little bit clueless, a little bit crazy, and a little bit me… hopefully she’s also a little bit you." -Kim, Designer

Have you seen this collection? Which look is your favorite? I DIE over those silver pants.

Mixing Patters {Under $100 Challenge}

{Blazer: H&M $15 (love this peplum blazer)| Shirt: Thrifted $5 | Jeans: Target $20 | Shoes: Bakers $34 (similar) | Scarf: Charlotte Russe $10 (now on sale!) | Earrings: Target $1.25}
{Total: $85.25}
 Sometimes it's hard to get caught up in the whole fashion world." Always wanting the next Alexander Wang "Rocco" bag or Loubies. But fashion doesn't have to break the bank! In fact one of my favorite bloggers, Kimberly, has an entire blog dedicated to this! If you shop smart you can score amazing pieces at great prices. 
Jenn, from The Stylish Housewife, and I decided to challenge ourselves and create an entire outfit under $100. This is harder than it sounds but I love how my outfit turned out! (Keep reading for her outfit). The blazer was a steal (H&M always has great deals) and the shoes were on major discount (DSW and outlets are GREAT for shoe/bag shopping). I love all these pieces and you'll probably see them a lot in the coming months! Have you ever taken the $100 challenge?
I love Jenn's outfit (especially that top). Don't forget to check out Jenn's post and see the rest of her outfit/details here!

Travel Style {Maxi Dresses}

Maxi Dress Shopping
Hi loves!
So, yesterday was the first week of classes for me. Back to the grind after a nice and relaxing winter break, but I'm excited about the classes I'm taking!
As some of you may know, my roommate and I are traveling to Florence next fall to study there for four months. We had our first orientation class last night and it has me SO EXCITED! I still cannot believe it.
One thing I thought of right away was my airport outfit. I need something comfy for 20 hours of traveling, but I have to be fashionable (I will be going with 50 other fashion students). So a long maxi dress seemed like the perfect option.

Add a sweater for the airport and this outfit is so simple and cozy, yet chic. These are some of my favorites. Which one should I get?

Smokey Bronze Eye {Makeup Tutorial Using the Naked Palette}

One of my favorite Christmas presents ever was the Naked palette, which I got last year. I use it almost every day and there are endless possibilities when it comes to the finished look you can create. One of my best friends, Alli, let me use her as a model. (She has the most gorgeous eyes, right?! Perfect for playing around with makeup). The smokey bronzed eye was inspired by this makeup look I found on Pinterest, but we decided to make it a bit more wearable. It's so easy to achieve, so keep reading! 
STEP ONE: Prime your eyes or dap on concealer. It will make the shadow stick more! Sweep toasted all over the lid and into the crease. Use naked to blend out the edge so there isn't a harsh line.
STEP TWO: Brush sin into the inner third of the eye and around the tear duct area. Blend well.
STEP THREE: With a blending brush place darkhorse on the outer corner and up into the crease. Gently blend it out and pull it towards the center of the eye, so it creates a small triangle. If needed, use a bit of toasted to blend it out better. Add darkhorse the the bottom lashline, only on the outer two thirds.
STEP FOUR: Using a small pencil brush, lightly place creep in the outer-v. Don't blend it out as far as darkhorse, keep the color more concentrated in the very corner. Deepen the outer third on the bottom lash line with creep.
STEP FIVE: Finish with a bit of sin in the inner third of the bottom lash line as well as the brow bone. Add liquid liner and loads of mascara and you're done! Wahh-laa!

If you try this look make sure to send me a picture! Tweet it to me, put it on my facebook page or tag me on Instagram (@cassiedulworth)! I would love to see it.

Tumblr Crush Thursday

Hi loves! It's time for a new edition of Tumblr Crush Thursday!
This week I was definitely inspired my some gorgeous makeup looks on Tumblr. I can't wait for spring to roll around. Bright pink lips, frosty eyes and luminous skin are going to be huge this upcoming season. And have you seen the nail art?! Gorgeous.

In the week of January 7th (omg!) I've been crushing on: 
 Dramatic one way or another: bright and bold or nude and shimmery. And I love the confetti. 
Do you have a tumblr? Send me your link! I love featuring my favorites every once in a while! And what are you inspired by this week? Have a happy Thursday!

Snow Leopard Print

Snow Leopard Print
{Phone Case | Sweater | Dress (on sale!) | HatPants}
{Blazer | Booties | Blouse | Dress | Socks}
The other day my Mom pointed out to me that I could probably wear an outfit entirely composed of leopard printed pieces. I guess you could say I have a bit of an obsession. And as a girl who wears mostly neutral colors, I love adding animal print into my outfits to give a kick. As spring rolls around I'm looking for a bit of a change—snow leopard. The sleeker counter part to normal leopard, this is going to be a favorite of mine.
Most of these pieces are under $50 and a lot of them are on sale. You have to be careful with leopard—stay away from skin tight pieces which can look cheap or unflattering. But don't be shy to adding this pattern into your wardrobe! It's a classic, after all.

Don't forget about the Eyeko giveaway! Enter here.

Faux Is Fun {Winter Style}

{Vest: F21 | Cardigan: F21 | Long Sleeve: H&M | Jeans: Target | Shoes: Nine West | Ring: F21}
Sometimes in the winter when I don't want to wear a bulky coat or I'm feeling particularly obnoxious, I wear my fur vest. Worn with a long sleeve knit and an extra layer it can be quite warm. And fun!
I like to keep outfits like this neutral, and play up textures. Add another layer (a cardigan like mine will work, but a plaid button up would be good too!) and some studded flats and you're out the door. 
How do you feel about faux fur? 
{My best friend, who lives where we shot these, has about 7 cats. I got distracted, they were so cute!}
PS-Yes, I did go to Estee Lauder before this. And yes, I did manage to smear lipstick all over my white cardigan...high five to me.
