All-American Denim...







You never know what you are going to get in upstate New York! One day you get a foot of snow, the next its 70 and sunny! But trust me, I am not complaining about the random gorgeous day. Once I heard the weather report, I knew I wanted to wear a dress without tights for the last time before winter hit! I love the combo of denim and shearling, there is just something so All-American about this pairing! 

Have a great weekend!

Christmas Tree Dress!



You know its the holiday season when you break out a Christmas tree dress! This dress is so easy to make and it packs a real statement! It is perfect for an ugly sweater party, or just every day life! Also, I apologize in advance, I accidentally deleted all the pictures I took while making it so it will just be a step by step tutorial. But it is so easy you can make it no problem! 

First, start with a black (or green!) basic skater dress. The one I used was from H&M


Then, the most important step is to hot glue the garland on to the dress. It is super important to remember that the dress is stretchy so in order to make sure the dress fits after the garland is on, don't glue the garland tight! Or better yet, use a human model! I used all 50 feet of the garland from Target.


Then comes the fun part, gluing on the ornaments! I used glitter ornaments from the $1 section at Target. To glue them on I took off the metal hook and put a circle of hot glue to make sure they stay. Make sure you only glue them on the front of the dress though, you don't want to sit on the ornaments and break them!


For the star on top, I used a light plastic star that I hot glued onto a thick headband. The exact star I used wasn't online but I'm sure it is in most local Target stores! 



Happy Holidays everyone! If you make the dress make sure to post it on Instagram and tag me @celfiecentral so I can see your creation!

Holiday Outfit Idea....









Its finally the holiday season! I love dressing for holiday parties, even if it is just a fifth grade school party! This outfit is perfect for the holidays since it has the perfect mix of sequins and plaid! Even if you live in a warmer climate you can just take off the tights and booties and you have a totally different outfit! This look is the most classic holiday look in my mind!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

Marvelous Maroon....








Sometimes you just need to be monochrome! It is the easiest way to put together an outfit if you are just running out the door but want to look put together! I have been obsessed with maroon lately, it might be my absolute favorite fall color. The key to wearing a monochrome outfit is to make sure the colors are al in the same family. It is easy to go from chic to senile!

Sweater Dress...











The sweater dress is a critical part of a fall wardrobe. I am incredibly picky when it comes to sweater dresses so when I found this one at H&M for $24.95 it was true love. The carmel brown color perfectly matches the fall foliage. I paired the cowl neck sweater with brown riding boots to give the look a super fall, preppy vibe. 

Have a great week!

Sport Spice...







It was so fun to get in touch with my tomboy side while still looking cute! This varsity jacket from Old Navy is going to be such a staple in my wardrobe! I can not wait to make it super girly with a dress and heels. Normally I hate wearing jeans but it just went so perfectly with te jacket I just had to wear them!

Mixed Textures...








Even when the sun is shining it is still freezing in New York! That means more layers! When wearing layers I love mixing textures so that each individual layer stands out. It allows each layer to shine while still blending together for a unique outfit. Chambray is such a good piece to try if you want to mix textures since it goes with everything!

Puff Puff Puffer...








Puffer vests are made for Saturday's. They are perfect for the temperature right now too! I love how versatile they are. You can wear them with leggings and a shirt for a causal look or pair it with a dress to make the dress casual! Puffer vests are absolutely a necessity for right now!
