Today I am teaming up with Megan from Diary of This Girl to style another look from Seattle boutique Lika Love. Megan and I just met a few weeks ago, but it seems like we have been friends for years. She is seriously one of the sweetest people I know. Doing this collaboration with her was a real treat. If you missed the first look you can see it here.

Malika Siddiq is the owner of Lika Love and is a true #girlboss. Not only is she smart and beautiful, but she understands that women need to be able to express themselves creatively through chic and affordable fashion.

I branched out a bit and tried something new for this look.  The cozy cable knit dress is darling and perfect for our chilly Seattle weather. The length works well with my 5’4 frame. The dainty pendant and gray bucket bag pull everything together. The burgundy floppy hat was so much fun and very boho. Adding the hat provided a pop of color to an otherwise neutral look.

Glam day look anyone? That’s what I thought when I saw Megan’s outfit. The drapey light-weight jacket is everything! And the silver statement necklace is gorg. The boyfriend jeans are cuffed to perfection and wear well with the oxford-like booties.  I love the burgundy color of her cross body bag; it pulls our looks together. Be sure to check out Megan’s blog to see more picture from our shoot.

I am partnering with Lika Love for a fun giveaway. She has kindly gifted the below scarf for one of my readers. To enter you will need to fill out the Rafflecopter. Good Luck!

At the end of the contest, the winner will be notified via email. This giveaway is only available to US readers.

This week I am collaborating with Megan from Diary of This Girl to bring you two fall looks from local boutique Lika Love.  Megan and I recently connected through social media and our shared photographer Michelle Dorman.

Lika Love started off as a mobile boutique. Malika Siddiq is the owner and now has two locations (West Seattle and Madison Park). You can also shop her store online. Malika’s fashion philosophy is for women to be comfortable in their own skin and be able to express themselves through their individual style. Her brand offers a wide variety of sizes too, making it easy for women to feel their best.

For our first look we decided to go causal. This one button asymmetrical hem cardigan is perfect for days when you’re running late and need to look put together. I fell in love with the color and stripe pattern. The fabric is very thin with a nice drape. My favorite part of this look are the fabulous earrings! I love the brushed gold material and turquoise beads. The gold purse is perfect for day or night. The dainty ring is a fun octagon shape and perfect for layering. I know that I’ll be wearing it often. To keep this look chic, I went with my coated skinny jeans and black booties.

Megan is wearing a cozy tunic sweater with her staple leggings. I’m obsessed with the gold skull pendant and red cross body bag. Megan completed this look with a pair of chic booties and a crystal statement ring. Doesn’t she look fabulous!

Be sure to check out Megan’s blog to see more picture from our shoot and get her take on Lika Love boutique. Don’t forget to stop by on Thursday for our second look.

Today I am styling another beautiful piece from Favery, a jewelry and accessory boutique based in Seattle. This brand is all about celebrating today’s most influential designers and elevating their products. All of the pieces are high-quality, often handmade, and locally-sourced. Here is Tuesday’s look if you missed it.

I love the fringe detail and the rose gold color of the Jules Smith Coachella Necklace. It also comes in gold and silver. If you prefer earrings, they have those too. I initially wanted to style this glam 70s style necklace with a chambray dress, booties, and a scarf, but the weather had something different in mind. I chose a neutral color palette, but added some contrast with the black distressed jeans. The blouse provides a feminine touch with the cozy vest.

If you like statement pieces Favery has you covered. If you prefer a more minimal aesthetic they’ve got that too. You can also work with a stylist for an at-home trunk show. If you’re obsessed with accessories like me, you might want to consider their stylist program.

The makeup in this shoot was done by Oliver Beauty. I was so excited to have the opportunity to collaborate with him. Look for more projects with him soon!

I recently had the opportunity to style several pieces from Favery, a jewelry and accessory boutique based out of Seattle. What separates this brand from the rest is their emphasis on celebrating today’s most exciting and influential designers. I love how some of their pieces are handmade, locally sourced, and often made in small batches. The quality can’t be beat and the end product is outstanding!

The first piece is the David Aubrey Turquoise Bead & Crystal Cabochon Statement Necklace. This designer specializes in statement jewelry (my fav). I immediately fell in love with the complexity of the beads in contrast with the crystal cabochons. I am also obsessed with the Pearl & Rhinestone Statement Necklace and the Delilah Brass Box Chain Glass Cabachon Pendant Necklace.

Let’s discuss the A-M-A-Z-I-N-G  Primecut Black & White Cowhide Oversized Clutch!  Talk about a statement piece. When you carry this clutch you immediately feel cool. It’s so unique and the fabric is absolutely gorgeous. This designer is based out of Portland, OR, and specializes in quality crafted handbags and clutches. The other two items that I am swooning over are the Spotted Hobo Bag and Spotted Cowhide Clutch. #Iwantitall

With such fun pieces I wanted to keep my top half simple and highlight the necklace. I went with a simple navy sweater with a faux leather jacket. I have been looking for a faux leather jacket for as long as I can remember. This one fits perfectly and doesn’t have a boxy cut like so many others I’ve tried. The party skirt added another fun element with the unique floral plaid pattern.

I also had the opportunity to collaborate with Oliver Beauty for my makeup. He did an excellent job of bringing out the color in both the necklace and skirt. I will be sharing a future post on our fall collaboration.

Be sure to come back on Thursday to see my second look with Favery.
