As the year comes to an end, there are a few things that I have discovered this year that I must rave about and share with you! Twenties Girl Style’s Favorite Things of 2012 Caring Cowls : Created by my dear friend, Sarah, Caring Cowls is a donation fund designed to support various charities and organizations. All proceeds from the cowls go to a charity in need (right now the American Cancer Society). Cowls and other products are handmade and made to order. I fell in love with them last year and had Sarah make me…
I was so excited when Linda from Trendy Teal agreed to be my December “Yeah…I Really Own That” guest blogger! I have been following Linda since I started seriously blogging in May. Linda has a unique style that definitely follows the Twenties Girl Style, by wearing what she loves, no matter the trend. Linda has a special way of connecting with her reader’s, as she blogs like she is writing to her bff rather than the world wide web, which has gained her many loyal followers (myself included:) ). So, on that note…please welcome”Yeah…I Really Own…
Guys. Seriously. I have been such a bad blogger lately! I could list a million reasons why I have been MIA lately, but the number one spot has to go to daylight savings. Daylight savings is seriously killing me, as I go to work in the dark and come home when it’s dark. Luckily, my schedule through the rest of December is pretty tame and I plan on finally, finally getting back into the swing of things! Yay! I am obsessed with dresses. At one time, most of my closest consisted of dresses. Today, while…

Blazer: Nordstroms Loafers: Steve Madden ‘Croquetl’ – find HERE Ring and Bracelet: Jewelmint I’m back! I am so sorry for being MIA this past week and a half! I took a break from blogging as I was working a ton and came down with a nasty virus. I literally came home everyday last week and climbed back into bed. Not fun. Anyways, I’m feeling 100% better and am so glad to be back!! I’ve missed you! For me, November…
Every closet has at least ONE of those “Yeah…I really own that” pieces. Remember when I shared with you my Yeah…I Really Own That piece and featured my Miley Cyrus Playsuit? Just for a refresher: What is a “Yeah…I really own that” piece you might ask? It is a piece of clothing that you purchased at some point in time and are not really sure why. At the time of purchase it seemed like a great idea, but eventually you forget all of the reasons why/how it made its way into your closet and are left with only feelings…
Faux Leather Jacket: Forever21 Sweater: SheInside – Find HERE Cowl: Target – Get the look with a “Caring Cowl” HERE Shorts: ‘Hound Bound Shorts” c/o August Wrinkle – get them HERE Tights: Target Boots: Steve Madden ‘Miidori’ – find HERE Bracelets: ‘Cinema Americano’, ‘Lioness’, and ‘Wild Thorn’ from Jewelmint Ring: ‘Giza’ via Jewelmint A few days ago, my sister took some family photos for our Aunt and Uncle and their family out at our family orchard. I haven’t visited the orchard since this summer, and was awestruck by the beauty fall has created under the canopy of trees. I’ve always been a…
Dress: c/o August Wrinkle – get it HERE Jean Jacket: Forever21 Boots: Guess? Necklace: Forever21 Bracelets: Jewelmint – Wild Thorn Bracelet and Jewelmint – Lioness Bracelet We have been having the wackiest weather the past few weeks! From rainy and high 30s/low 40s to sunny and mid to upper 50s/60s. I can’t keep up! I’ve started layering up, that way my outfits are more accommodating to the ever changing temps. After a week straight of rain, I was so excited to see it clear up and warm up this past weekend. I recently received this dress from August Wrinkle, and have been…
Sweater: Frenchi via Nordstroms – find HERE Jeans: Bullhead Black via PacSun Scarf: Old Navy (Find a similar version HERE) Boots: Guess Ring: Giza Ring via Jewelmint – get it HERE This weekend I made the 3.5 hour trek to visit my boyfriend at college. As I recently graduated from the same college, it was nice being back to my old stomping grounds. I had a great time with the boy, but it was definitely hard to leave Sunday afternoon. Long distance relationships are hard and while Skype, phone calls and texts help to make things easier,…
Top: Forever 21 Skirt: Tobi ‘Vegan Leather Skater Skirt’ – sold out but look for restock HERE Shoes: Madden Girl – from last winter Bracelets: Stretchy spike bracelet – ebay and Houdini Bracelet – via Jewelmint Yeah…I know… It’s what I do. A trend I’m pretty much obsessed with this fall? LEATHER (fake ‘vegan’ leather is okay with me too). Too bad the only piece to grace my closet this season as of yet is this ‘vegan skater skirt’ from Tobi.com (one of my new favorite online shops). I love that this skirt is leather, but totally ladylike! Expect…
There comes a time when pieces of clothing in our closet aren’t getting as much love as they need and deserve a new home. With this in mind, I decided to open my own Shop My Closet for Twenties Girl Style! All pieces featured below can be found at Shop Twenties Girl Style. They are all pre-owned (by me…obviously!), and in pretty good condition, unless noted otherwise! I’m starting small, with just four pieces, but expect new additions to the store in the coming months! Metallic Brocade Dress Size: Small Originally from: Forever 21 A…

I’m really enjoying it…especially the days when the smoke seems to clear and we have a bout of blue skies. Oh how I will never again take blue sky or fresh air for granted! I recently received this top from Rire Boutique (if you haven’t checked them out,…
Top: Sister’s Closet 🙂 (American Eagle) Pants: American Eagle Jean Jacket: Abercrombie and Fitch (OLD) Shoes: Sperry Top-Sider ‘Bluefish 2-Eye’ Boat Shoe – find HERE Bracelets: Target Pardon my lack of posts lately…I have been one busy girl! The weather here has been spectacular. Despite the smokey haze that still covers the city, the temperatures have been in the 80’s. I swear it has never been this warm in late September/ early October before! While I’m craving fall clothes, I’ve really been enjoying wearing my summer/spring stuff for a little bit longer this year. Yesterday, I…
Skirt: Forever21 T-shirt: Victoria’s Secret PINK – find HERE Jacket: Forever21 Wedges: Target Necklace: Forever21 – find HERE Rings: Gifted Nails: Essie ‘Skirting the Issue’ I’ve got a major crush on the color oxblood, but who doesn’t?! This deep, rich color is so perfect for fall! I was excited that I could shop my own closet for this trend, pulling out my favorite sheer hi-lo skirt (also worn HERE this summer), that is just a hue more vibrant than the traditional oxblood seen on the runway. I was feeling very matchy matchy, as I painted my nails a similar…
Top: Old Navy – similar HERE and HERE Shorts: LOVE – find HERE Shoes: DV by Dolce Vita ‘Onya’ Platforms – similar HERE Bracelets: Target and Wild Thorn Bracelet via Jewelmint Necklace: Gifted Earrings: Target Good news! We are no longer threatened by the fire, but the smoke is ridiculous. Looking out my window now, it looks like a thick fog has settled, and I can barely make out the hill behind my house. It has been like this for a week now, and it’s getting old. I’ve remained indoors as much as possible as they are calling the air quality hazardous. This…
Top: Old Navy (Sold Out) Shorts: American Eagle Shoes: Sperry Bahama’s – find HERE, but how about THESE for fall?? Necklace: Forever21 Bracelet: Wild Thorn Bracelet via Jewelmint Bag: Melie Bianco via Little Black Bag Sunglasses: Target Nail Polish: Essie ‘Absolutely Shore’ This week has been quite the experience. On Saturday, my hometown experienced a major lightening storm. By Sunday morning, because the area is so dry, dozens of fires had started. Monday morning, I awoke to the police pounding at my door telling us we were at a Level 1 evacuation and to be prepared. I have been on evacuation…
Top/Dress: Nordstroms Skirt: Forever 21 Bandeau: Target Boots: Minnetonka 3 Layer Fringe Boots – find HERE Earrings: Claire’s (from forever ago) Ring: Anthropologie Bracelets: Gifted It may be September, but the weather has been acting as if it is early August and I’m not complaining! My sister had a few photo shoots this summer (I will have to share some pictures with you sometime…they turned out amazing!) at my grandparent’s orchard, leading us to the discovery of this fantastic old shed. Needless to say, this place has become our favorite place for photo shoots. Located in…
Dress: Nasty Gal – identical version HERE Shoes: Target Necklace: Gentry – get it HERE Labor day weekend is always the unofficial end of summer for me. I spent my time hanging by the lake with my family, reading good books and relaxing in the sun. I was torn between enjoying my long weekend and already missing summer, but overall the weekend was a success. I definitely feel more relaxed and ready for fall (pumpkin spice lattes, boots, and pretty fall colors outside…yes, please) and have accepted that summer is coming to a close. Accepting summer being over…
Happy September 1st! While I am so sad summer is over, I cannot wait to start dressing for fall. Jeans, boots, jackets and my all time favorite, a cozy cowl. Thats why I’m so excited to share this news with you today! I met Sarah freshman year of college and we quickly became super close friends. Due to Sarah’s job working with the elderly, she learned to crochet and started making cowls. I fell in love with them and had her make me a quite a few in a variety of colors. These cowls are…
V-neck T: Victoria’s Secret PINK – find HERE Pants: American Eagle – similar HERE Shoes: Sperry Bahama’s – find HERE or HERE Necklace: Nordstroms It seems like I’m always on the hunt for the perfect v-neck. I’ve had so many grey v-neck’s over the past few years it’s not even funny. It doesn’t seem like I ever discover the imperfections of one until the 3rd wash, either. Situation: I purchase the PERFECT fitting v-neck. Take it home, wear it once, all is well. Until…DUN DUN DUN..I wash it. After the first wash, I notice the neck is stretched out weirdly…
Top: Forever21 Pants: Target (sister’s 🙂 ) Shoes: DV by Dolce Vita ‘Onya’ Platforms Bracelets: Target, gifted, ‘Cinema Americano’ via Jewelmint Ring: Old Navy This peachy/coral color has been my all time favorite this summer (you can see me rocking it HERE, HERE, HERE and even HERE). You can bet I will definitely be trying to bring it into my fall wardrobe as much as possible. I adored these peach skinnies, borrowed from my little sisters closet, paired with this whimsy, layered polka dot top from forever 21. Of course I would add my favorite shoes (I won’t even give you…
