How To Get The Perfect High-Low Mix

When it comes to putting together an outfit with a good mix of high and low pieces, there are a few guidelines I like to follow. So, when Neiman Marcus asked me to create a high-low look with my top picks from their site, I put them to good use!

For the foundation of the look, I tend to stick to more affordable basics like a striped tee and jeans. Next, I like to add in splurge-worthy pieces, which for me usually means a statement bag and shoes. In this case, I couldn't help but include the printed Valentino boots— If you follow me on Instagram, you probably already know they're my current shoe crush. Finally, I like to mix in jewelry, sunglasses, and beauty favorites that can range from budget-friendly to there-goes-my-rent-check. Et voilà, mission high-low accomplished!

20 Alternative Wedding Looks

2. Naeem Khan separates



3. Jenna Lyons at Solange Knowles' wedding


As some of you may know, my fiancé and I have been engaged for over two years now. We got engaged right before my dad passed away, so the wedding planning got put on the back-burner. It's been hard to think of having a wedding without my dad being around, but we've finally come around to feeling excited about it again and are slowly starting to make plans. With that, of course, comes the search for the perfect wedding look. I've been on the hunt for a more non-traditional wedding look and have really been interested in the idea of pants. These are some of the best alternative looks I've come across so far.

Super inspired by these two backstage beauty shots from Valentino and Léonard. Loving the juxtaposition of the nude nail polish with the stacked dark metal rings, as well as the mix of the black manicure with delicate simple rings. I have been a nude nail addict lately, but am thinking about giving black nails a try again- it's always been hard for me to switch to a darker color.

SUMMER PARTY DRESS

My favorite party dress this summer is one that's sleeveless with a drop waist and soft pleats. I love how versatile they are- Great for casual or more dressed up occasions, and by tweaking the shoes and accessories, they can be styled to fit a range of personal styles. Go from glam to classic, preppy to edgy or keep it clean and minimal like the looks above.
