What's up guys and gals?! It's the start of autumn, and that means I can officially start talking about layering, cozy coats, and stellar boots. To kick off the season I'm starting with two of the most lush of outfits! Like an onion, we'll start with the outer layers and work inwards. Look One - This first tweedy look is pretty on par with the colors I chose for most of my other looks, so I figured we could start here to ease us in to fall! Several months ago, I went shopping

What's up guys and gals?! Today's blog is a chic street style look! On the rare occasion that I wear a lot of black, I'm always sure to add a pop of color (or several), so that I don't look like I'm going to a very casual funeral. It's at this point that I'll point out, yes, I know these are roses, not poppies, but I really couldn't pass up a good pun, hence the title! haha! Hopefully you like this look! As always the links are down below! Thanks for reading! ~CC~ Black Appli

What's up guys and gals?! Today we're looking at this lovely dress from AX Paris! With it's light and breezy fabric and a color like freshly blooming flowers, this is the perfect look for the upcoming spring season. The cage detail at the neckline makes this classic silhouette flirty and fresh. A dress like this is perfect for every occasion, from a more conservative work wear environment all the way to date night, and should definitely considered as a staple piece in your sp

What's up guys and gals?! Today's post features a pretty classic look - the plaid clad school girl. Now I don't know about you, but I spent my whole life in plaid skirts and polo shirts! Part of the reason I love fashion is because I lived so much of my life in uniforms! But now I've taken the plaid skirt back! Both the skirt and top are on this blog courtesy of Romwe. The skirt and top are both a shockingly good quality, and are pieces I think I could wear again. I love the

What's up guys and gals?! It's 2017! I took a bit of a break from blogging to hang out with my family and friends, but I'm back with a vengence! Today's blog features a monochrome grey look, which looks a lot like the sky here in Los Angeles as of late! This is the time of the year where I start trying to figure out how to wear my mini-dresses again without freezing my butt off, and one solid option is a leather jacket and knee high boots! The dress is a lovely backless knit

What's up guys and gals?! Are you ready to get sexy in suede? If so, this is the blog for you! Let's take the plunge and dive in to this stellar outfit! Both the dress and the heels are from Missguided, but we'll focus on the dress first. This tan suede mini dress is perfect for a party look. It completely dissregards the Hollywood "rule of thirds," but sometimes that's exactly what you need. For those who don't know, the Hollywood rule of thirds, not to be confused with the

What's up guys and gals?! Today's post is about the grand opening of Nicole Lee's Corporate Store! Nicole Lee was kind enough to invite me to their grand opening and their phenomenal after party, so I thought I'd share that experience with you! Nicole Lee USA, which started in 2004, is a company I've been working with since the very begining of this blog! (My first post featuring them was "Bring the Bling" from February 2016.) The clutch in the above picture was one of the fi

What's up guys and gals?! I'm rocking a minimalist look on today's blog (not only in color, but also in fabric! haha!) The co-ord is from the absolute babes at Want My Look. It's something that I haven't done on the blog yet, but is a really hot style this year. The first time I posted a shot from this on my blog I called it "Oh Hey Kim K" because, let's be honest, it was her and the rest of the Kardashian clan that popularized this look. The best part about this co-ord, in m

What's up guys and gals?! The order of the day is this fantastic set from my friends at Vesper247! I've featured Vesper on the blog before, in my first Double Feature blog, and now they're back for round 2 (well, 3, technically!) The spaghetti strap top has a cute asymetrical ruffle, which permits you to wear the top without a bra. It lands just above the skirt, and serves as a fantastic way to break up the column silhouette while still maintaining the classic vibe! The skirt

What's up guys and gals?! Today is another post brought to you by Boohoo! Boohoo is the company that started my foray into the bodysuit world, mostly because their "Tall" range has body suits that actually fit me! This khaki number gives the illusion of a lot of cleavage, with its two front straps, without actually asking you to bare it all! I've found that for me, personally, khaki is a difficult color to wear, so I made sure to pair the bodysuit with crisp colors to compens

What's up guys and gals?! Hope you're all digging the new look of the blog! I decided to give it a bright, fresh, summer update! Today we're going to be looking at three fantastic bikinis, two from AMI Clubwear and one from Boohoo USA. We'll start with the balconette bikini from Boohoo, which has a great tie-dye fabric with a black graphic overlay. The underwire top has a removable strap, so you can avoid those pesky tan lines at the risk of doing the "pulling-up-your-top" da

What's up guys and gals?! Hope you all had a fantastic 4th of July weekend/bank holiday! I had my friends and family over and spent my last couple weeks as the world's busiest host! Today we're going to look at a series of dresses from the amazing LA based company Bebop! A few weeks ago I was invited to go check out the newest line of clothing at the BeBop showroom in Los Angeles, California. I already had Bebop clothes in my closet, because they sold to places like Tilly's a

What's up guys and gals?! Welcome to the lovely month of June! I come to you today with one of the my wildest accessories yet; a watch made out of wood! A USA company called JORD makes these hand crafted luxury watches for men and women, and I thought they were so wonderfully unique that I just HAD to have one! I chose a watch from the Sully series made from red sandlewood and maple. I have a very tiny wrist and it an be difficult for me to find a watch that fits, but JORDs'

What's up guys and gals?! Today we're continuing our spring trends with this gorgeous white dress from Boohoo! Often when you're searching for a white dress what you find is plain and boring, but Boohoo has added so many fantastic details to this one! The shoulder cut outs give you that "bardot" feeling that's so in right now while still allowing you to wear a bra, and the mesh overlay and the fringe tassels at the hem really compliment the cut of the dress. Because the dress

What's up guys and gals?! Okay, so I'm going to be totally honest with you all. I did this, rather spur of the moment, photoshoot in this outfit and once I had all the pictures I said, "okay, these look cool, but do people really care about my uber-casual outfit?" The answer was a resounding "YES!" It was so much "yes," in fact, that Derek Heart (the maker of the sweatpants I'm wearing) regrammed me! Go HERE and give that picture a like! ;-) So here it is! The full blog! The

What's up guys and gals?! It's almost Valentines day, so I decided to do a fun a flirty Valentines day look! Of course the only kissy-faces I'll be making with any boys THIS Valentine's day is the ones aimed at my new little puppy Georgie (who will be here early next week and I am SO EXCITED!) I promise I'll bombard you with plenty of pictures of him on www.instagram.com/ccmasonrlly !! Anywho, on to the outfit! This top with the amazing roses (which you should know by now are

What's up guys and gals?! It's the time of year when us folks in California have what we describe as "winter;" when we are forced to put on pants and don coats! How dreadful! But really, it's cold enough to see your breath and it was spitting rain when I took these pictures! Any sort of weather makes me go full valley girl, cause "I can't even right now!" Anywho, on to the outfit! In today's post, I'm rocking double denim. In the 80s, double denim was cool, then in the 90s it

What's up guys and gals?! The holidays are upon us, and this look has it all! Glitter? Check! Gold? Check! Velvet? Triple check! First is this stunning and sassy wine-colored crushed velvet playsuit from Missy Empire! I fell in love with it the MINUTE I laid eyes on it. I had all but shunned playsuits and rompers from my wardrobe but this has rejuvenated my love for them! Full disclosure, the plunging neckline of this romper was a little TOO plunging for me, so I sewed it up

What's up guys and gals?! First and foremost I am NOT appologizing for the terrible pun in the title! Haha! Now that THAT'S out of the way, on to the fashion! Today's post is all blue, but in the cheeriest way possible. Blue is one of my two favorite colors, the other being gold (but can you blame a girl, really?), so why not go a little overboard (haha - SEA what I've done there?!) I've taken this little floral dress down party street by pairing it with some sky high vegan h

Hello guys and gals! Today's blog features this gorgeous burgundy number from Pretty Little Thing. PLT is a British fashion company that I discovered through instagram and I fell in love with their fresh look on simple, staple pieces. This dress is perfect for a "California Winter," it keeps you warm, but still breathes, which is essential! The best part? It's a steal for only $27 US. The fit is great too (just as long as you American fashionistas remember to check the UK-to-
