Designer Inspired Style on a Budget







This simple outfit has easily become one of my favorite outfits ever. What I love about this look is that it is inspired by designer pieces - and looks expensive - but is actually really affordable. The entire outfit (shoes included) comes in at around $300! The Gucci and Celine inspired pieces are, in my opinion, must-have items. I'll talk more about each below!

As a whole, I like this outfit because it is
so versatile. You could wear this to the office or to meet friends for dinner and drinks. I was surprised by how versatile this ruffle sleeve high collar top was. I bought it planning on wearing it with jeans and leather jacket as a casual winter date night look, but have actually worn it to work a lot! Unfortunately the exact top sold out before I could link it up. I did however find 3 similar tops and have linked them below if you are on the market for one!

Moving on to the rest of this designer inspired outfit! You may have caught last week's work day outfit with this Gucci dupe belt. This is an accessory that I will be styling a lot over the coming months. It is a perfect dupe of the Gucci version, but with an under $20 price tag. I can't recommend it enough!

Another item I can't recommend enough is this Celine lookalike bag. The shape is a perfect dupe of the iconic Celine Luggage bag, in a tiny cross-body version. I personally love this size and was really impressed by the quality for the price. It's a classic style that goes with so many outfits.

As you can probably tell this outfit post is not from good old Rain-couver haha. I shot this when I was in Los Angeles two weeks ago, and posting it now is definitely making me miss the beautiful LA weather. I am actually in the midst of planning my next vacation right now; and it will also be bringing me to the sunshine so I can't wait!

Work Day Makeup Tutorial


A couple of weeks ago I promised you all something you have been asking for basically since I started LegalLee Blonde - a tutorial on my work day makeup! The reason I had not done a makeup tutorial until now is because I was not using YouTube and was (am?) basically terrified of the idea of making video content.

That said, I bit the bullet and started a YouTube Channel. My first video is video on the best products for creating work day makeup that lasts. I decided to film it in a "get ready with me" style, so that you can see each product and how I use it. All products are linked in the caption of the video, but you can also shop them in the widget below. If you have any questions on any of these products - let me know in the comments below! I would love to talk to you more about this makeup look and why I swear by these beauty products for my everyday makeup.

You can watch the video below... and PLEASE subscribe to my YouTube channel because I plan on making more videos in the future! ...Also because I will feel far less ridiculous posting videos once I have subscribers other than my best friend and mom; both of whom I just made subscribe haha.

A Pink Suit in Paradise






A busy work day in beautiful Los Angeles seemed like the perfect opportunity to wear this bold pink pant suit. I am so in love with the dark pink color and the fit of the suit itself. A slim leg pant suit is my go to corporate style when I know I need to get stuff done. It's an instant confidence booster and is both functional and comfortable.

I opt for longer jackets with my suits whenever I can because I find them more flattering. This pink blazer is the perfect long length! It is definitely a piece I will be wearing not only with the matching pants, but with jeans for a casual weekend look and over a black dress for a fun work look. It sounds nit-picky, but I really love that the buttons on the blazer are also pink. The blazer is just so well made- right down to that button detail.

While of course a white button down would be an easy and chic choice to wear with a pink suit, I wanted to add a bit more flare (I was in LA after all!) so I went with this navy floral print top. I love that the pink suit pulls out the pink detailing in the floral pattern. I finished this look with a pair of classic nude pumps. Nude heels are always a safe bet with a colorful suit.

I recommend that every working woman add a colorful suit to their wardrobe. While it's not something you can wear every day, it is so worth having for when you want/need to make a statement. Would you wear a pink suit? If you own a bright colored suit; what color do you own? I'd love to hear about in the comments!!

Have a great start to your work week everyone!
