Get the Look

I don't know about you, but I am kind of addicted to Pinterest.  I use it to get ideas for fashion, for decorating ideas, for recipes, future planning, things that inspire me.  It is SO addicting!  I see so many things on there that I want to try or recreate... course I have already been planning baby rooms for children I don't have and enough DIY projects to last me a year.

I pin and re-pin a lot of fashion looks that I really like to try to pull from.  I recently found an image that I absolutely am loving!

As simple, yet classy as this look is, it could be seen as a little bit difficult to emulate... 

but I think I have the perfect pieces to get you the same look with a little more color! And since it is warm, I would pair it with some platform wedges instead of the boots. 

Jacket: Zara 

Top: Hive and Honey- Piperlime

Leggings: Splendid- Piperlime

Bag: Madewell- Shopbop

Shoes:  Elizabeth & James- Piperlime

I would accessorize with a great looking necklace and some great bangles.  

So what do you think?  Do you love this classic look with a little edge?  

Welcome!

Welcome to Hemlines and Heels!  This is a blog about fashion and my personal styling.

My name is Nikki, and I have always been a lover of fashion.  I graduated college with a degree in fashion merchandising, and have worked in retail for years.   I am also a graphic designer with my own business.  Working in retail can be really grueling, with long hours on your feet, late nights and early morning.  My favorite part of retail was working with customers who really needed help with a specific outfit for an event, or helping to plan for a trip, or just needing an updated look.

I love fashion, and I don't believe that just because you want to look great means you have to spend a lot of money.  I don't own a lot of designer things, and I love mixing higher end and lower end to get unique looks.

I hope you will bear with me as I develop this new blog and project.  This blog is going to be devoted to fashion and personal style, along with some of my personal fashion tips, my favorite items, trends, maybe some celebrity looks, some looks for less... there is going to be a lot going on!

I am really excited to start this new venture and am hoping you will keep checking back for more updates!
