Your mission: put together a weather-appropriate, colorful and seemingly effortless ensemble suitable for a Saturday night stroll with the girls or a Sunday afternoon promenade with the fella. Challenge accepted. H&M red cardigan, $16 / Uniqlo tapered jeans / Zara suede shoes / Old Navy zip top cross body bag / Forever 21 watch / ALDO yellow gold earrings / Forever 21 knit shawl scarf Lookit! A cute scarf can do wonders to spice up the most basic of outfits. This striped loveliness from Forever 21 certainly brings that subtle bit of flavor to the everyday jeans and cardigan ensemble. The faux leather purses at Old Navy this season have my heart… how pretty is this soft mustard cross body bag?! Zara stays on their boot game. Every. Single. Year. This pair has a surprise faux leather panel in the back-LOVE! And I just had to throw in a fun watch for…
While I hate to say goodbye to Summer, I welcome fashion’s earth tones {oh, and bangin’ boots!!} with open arms! Summer may be gone but that doesn’t meant you have to bury those shorts just yet. After searching through a few of my favorite stores on the interwebs, I found this slick pair of cuffed shorts from UNIQLO. Check out those clean lines! Just slip on a cute pair of tights like these and you’re ready to brave the chill. H&M never disappoints! This easy-going, flowy viscose top in teal {my favorite color of late} serves as the perfect complement to the camel-hued shorts. Both blend right in with these amazing burgundy knee-high boots, also from H&M! And how ’bout this Danielle Nicole purse?? O_O HOLLA! For accessories, I went bold with a gold fringed bib necklace and then scaled things down with simple antique-y earrings from ALDO. The blush-toned scarf…
Howdy! Welp, last Friday you saw my brainstorming in action as I tried to figure out what to wear to this brunch with an all-white theme. If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you may have already caught a glimpse of my getup. Here it is in all it’s glory… Hair: Marley Twists Necklace: Aldo (similar here & here) Dress: Rainbow (similar) Gap scarf worn as belt (super old- similar here) Shoes: JustFab (similar here) I wasn’t sure WHAT to expect when I walked into Rainbow with my tight budget (limit- $20!) but I was hoping for a miracle. Would I find something brunch-worthy?! This strapless dress was the only thing in the entire store that was all white, basic enough to dress up and at a length I was comfortable with. I’ve basically been over the high-low thing since it began (LOL!) but this was doable since the “high” wasn’t…
So, here’s the story. I was invited to a brunch taking place tomorrow which I’m very excited to attend. Only thing is, it’s an all-white event. Now, I have a few white separates but nothing that really “goes” together. I’m also on the tightest budget EVER in the history of time. What’s a girl to do?! I took to Google the other night, brainstorming, using my PhotoGrid app to make a quick collage: Folake of Style Pantry always gets it right! A dress takes the guess work out of “what to wear” since it’s basically a top and bottom in one and her maxi is spot on. I added another basic maxi to the mix as well as a few separates just for some inspiration. I often like to accent a neutral, monochromatic palette (esp. white) with color color color, so I thought I’d go with my coral Lizette pumps…
HAPPY FRIDAY!!! This Wednesday, I had the pleasure of seeing a one mister Allen Stone in concert at Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg Brooklyn. MAN did I have a good time!!!!!!! <— too many exclamation marks? Nope, not even! LOL! This dude knows how to get a crowd going not to mention his oh-so-soulful voice- WOO! Ok, enough about him for now, let’s get to the fashion… Of course, the “superstar” of this outfit is the FLY GRL tank, created by my girl Toni of Haus of Swag. It brings a little old school flavor with the message as well as a design reminiscent of 80s rap trio Run DMC… Love it! As an #80sbaby and fan of old school hip-hop, I was all over it. I wasn’t really going for a set “theme” here. I was just trying to stay cool, be cute and feel comfy! ^_^ Now that I…
