White Chucks! Must Have Summer Sneakers!

27 May

Summer is fast approaching and every girl needs a fresh pair of sneakers to lounge around in comfortably, while staying oh so chic of course! White Converse Chuck Taylors, also known as Chucks are the perfect casual chic sneaker for Summer! They go with everything-I wear mine with dresses, shorts and pants etc! Chucks are also reasonably priced and can be thrown in the washer if they get dirty! Go for it- jump on the chuck wagon! You won’t be sorry!

Perfect Year Round Crossbody Bag!

19 May

I’m so excited to have received my very first Vince Camuto handbag and will be wearing it all year round. This gorgeous bag comes in a variety of colors, but I opted for black and white. I absolutely love black and white anything and this bag can be worn with burgundy in the Fall and peach in the Spring. Black and white is complimentary to most colors.  The great thing about Vince Camuto bags is that they are beautifully designed( they are reminiscent of Reed Krakoff bags)  are very well constructed.  in fact, they are so well made that I was shocked at how reasonably priced these bags are- I mean they are not $40 bags, but they are also not unattainable like many designer bags are unfortunately.  If you’re on a budget, this bag is worth saving for, but you won’t have to save long! Check out the bag below, I hope you love it as much as I do 🙂

Spring has definitely sprung and warmer weather and active days call for comfortable yet super cute shoes to wear. Two styles that I can’t live without are pointy toe flats and ankle strap sandals. They both look great thrown on with jeans, dresses, skirts and shorts and they can be dressed up or down and can be worn all day long. Shop my favorite styles below.

OOTD Starring My Favorite New Clutch!

15 May

Hi y’all this is not my typical outfit of the day post, it’s pretty much all about my favorite new clutch. I’ve been getting a lot of questions and comments on this particular outfit and clutch so I thought I’d tackle then all right here right now. This gorgeous dress is from the Webster Miami/ Target collaboration a couple of years ago. The print is magical and the dress is very flattering on. The dress sold out pretty quickly although you may be able to find it on EBay. My favorite nude sandals were $7.99 at Forever 21 last year and my pretty pastel bracelets are from H&M- also last year! My coordinates collection bracelet IS currently available as well as my Gigi New York Coral clutch, my dainty Catbird diamond ring and my mint sunglasses ! Links listed below.

It’s no surprise that I live for the high- low mix and love wearing my high-end jewelry, bags and clothes with my low-end stuff! I feel like the best looks include pieces at all price points. So if you’re on a budget have no fear, you must remember that money can’t buy style, and if you’re a label snob, remember you’re missing out on so much cute stuff if you don’t give it a chance based on price. I can’t stress enough that when you properly execute your high low mix, most people think it’s ALL high-end anyway!!!!! Cheers to stepping outside of your fashion box and jumping aboard the high- low mix train!!! CHOOOO CHOOOO!

Cute As a Button Cards!

28 Apr

I love games- any and all games including cards! Every household has at least 1 deck of cards and fashionistas are no different. The question is- Why should we have the same boring deck of cards as every one else when they make super cute cards for people like us?! I must say- I really do own the cutest decks of cards I’ve ever seen and you should too.  One is a completely pink set of cards by Bicycle(the card brand that’s been around for decades )and the other is a boxed set of 2 decks featuring a pink deck and a mint deck by Tiffany & Co. Whenever I bust out my cards, conversation ensues! They are THAT cute! These cards also make great gifts as well.

 

The all pink deck is priced at $5.46

The Tiffany & Co boxed set is priced at $35 (You can call your local Tiffany & Co. for their selection of colors)
