How She'd Wear It with Style and Cheek - Wedges #shoesdaytuesday #hswi

Wedges are probably the most popular and versatile style of chunky footwear. So if you’re a little fearful of taking on this trend, wedges are probably your best bet, especially as we get closer and closer to summer. Styling wedges is also incredibly easy, as they tend to go with everything. Skirts, shorts, pants, dresses. It’s just a matter of pairing your style of wedge with the style of your…

How She'd Wear It with Style and Cheek - Clogs #shoesdaytuesday #hswi

Let’s talk clogs. Traditionally clogs were made completely of wood and were used as protective footwear, but today we wear a more fashionable version of clogs which usually feature thick wooden soles. The style of shoe most people define as a “clog” are slip-ons featuring a rounded closed toe, usually made of leather. When I think of clogs however, I don’t think of the chunky wooden versions, I…

How She’d Wear It with Style and Cheek – Mules

After last week’s rundown of the chunky footwear you should be wearing this season, today we’re focusing on mules. There are a variety of mule styles out there, including flats and closed toe but since spring is in full swing, I went with the sexiest mules I could find, heeled and open-toed. I also wanted to pick a variety that could easily distinguish itself from clogs, which we will be…

How She’d Wear It with Style and Cheek – Ruffle Hems

Well that was a quick month! I feel like there are still so many more types of ruffles out there. Infinite ruffles! But a month is only so long so I tried to style a variety of ruffles to show you some options that are out there. To end the month, I’ve picked two dresses with ruffle hems. Last week we emphasized the top section with ruffles, now we’re going for drama for your bottom half. Both…

How She’d Wear It with Style and Cheek – Ruffle Blouses

Ruffle blouses are pretty, they’re sexy, they’re feminine. What can I say about ruffles blouses that I haven’t already said about ruffles in general? I prefer ruffles in darker colors because they aren’t overly feminine or cutesy, which is probably why I ended up using two dark ruffle blouses in this post. It’s a sleeker look and lets the ruffle be the star of your shirt. But let’s talk about…

The romantic take on ruffle dresses today #ontheblog #hswi courtesy of @styleandcheek

My mind automatically goes to romantic dresses when I think of ruffles. Especially for spring. The innocence of a pretty ruffle works well with the fresh and new feeling of spring. I imagine that there are a lot of ruffle dresses at more swanky spring events, like garden parties, because you just cannot escape the feminine power of a ruffle. And there are oh so many ruffle options out there!…

How She’d Wear It with Style and Cheek – Ruffles for Spring

We’re bringing in the frills this month and talking ruffles for spring. Romanticism is a huge part of spring style for 2016, from chiffon to lace to ruffles to feathers. Since we did such a huge topic last month with Gucci’s spring collection I thought I’d rein it in and focus on just one aspect of romantic style. Ruffles. They’re an easy trend to play with, won’t break the bank, and there’s a…

How She’d Wear It with Style and Cheek – Gucci’s Stunning Prints and Patterns

I can’t believe this is the final set of outfits for Gucci’s spring 2016 collection on HSWI. This has probably been one of the most challenging HSWI’s I’ve ever done because this collection is so creative and out there. Yes, over the past month I’ve shown you a lot of borderline wacky looks but my hope is that you found at least one outfit or nuance that has inspired you, whether it’s styling…
