That Classic Thing

Hey lovelies!

The weather has been unpredictable lately with some days being insanely beautiful and others gloomy and miserable. However, I do like how there are days that I can still layer, since I'm a lover of Fall and Spring at heart. I love the hot weather, don't get me wrong, but I love the creativity associated with Spring and Fall. I guess the Northern West Coast suits me!

Casual Outing - Wardrobe Staples You Need

Hey lovelies! Today's outfit posts consists of styling wardrobe staples. These staples are comprised of versatile pieces that can be altered to fit one's style and can be mixed-and-matched to paired with items throughout the seasons. 

I think every wardrobe should have a Basic white button up shirt. For days when you want to be casual, but slightly put-together, tops like the one featured above are amazing for an effortless touch. A white button-up can be worn alone or layered with a denim, leather or any jacket of your choice.

The perfect pair of black booties are a staple in my wardrobe and and no brainer. Finding a fun pair like these lizard print booties are a fun way to spice up the average black bootie! Bottles with a midi-sized heel are comfortable and can literally be paired with anything. 

I've been obsessed with black structured bags because they are so versatile and they go with everything in my wardrobe, I'm currently obsessed with my Zac Posen Eartha bag and my Henri Bendal Uptown Satchel (they currently don't have a wide selection). They are perfect everyday bags and fit all of my necessities. 

Who can go wrong with a pair of denim pants? If you are like me and you love to dress up, you can possibly relate to overdressing to everything. I just love to look my best at all times! Well, denim is great to dress down an otherwise 'dressy' outfit and make it a little more casual and effortless. Yet you will still look great ;) !

Hey lovelies! I love seasonal changes and the little details each season has to offer. I love this time of year especially because there are endless months of florals to enjoy. I'm the most excited for Hydrangea season in mid summer, but theses blooms are not a bad view!

Black Trench Coat, Gold Hardware, and Army Green

Hey lovelies! I was loving my outfit today and thought I'd share the details. 

This black trench coat has been a staple in my wardrobe and goes perfectly with everything. It's light weight and perfect for chilly summer evenings. I purchased mine in the clearance from Forever 21, but here are some great alternatives. I also love this one from Forever 21, although it is not black. This one form ASOS is also great, as well as this one from The Bay (currently under $70!)

How to Style Statement Shorts

Hey lovelies!

Summer is officially here and it is time to break out the fun summer wardrobe I've been dying to wear since spring. In the depths of summer, certain days are just too hot to pull off a put together outfit and all I feel like wearing are ripped denim shorts and a tank top. 

A fun pair of shorts can really liven up the tank top and shorts combo and add depth to an outfit. My go-to when paring stamen prices is to start with your basic tones, which are black and white. You can never go wrong with pairing something bright and colourful with white and nudes; hence, emphasizing on your statement piece. 

Here are some of my favourite styles of shorts for this season. For affordable finds, I'm loving these and this scalloped pair. These are also super cute. I also love these, but they are a pricier option.

Summer Edit

Hey lovelies! Happy (officially) summer!

This season I'm super excited to rock the pastels of spring, monochromatic white outfits and bold pops of colour.

I'm always a sucker for scalloped detailing. I love how feminine and sophisticated it is as well as how it gives an outfit a subtle detail. I have definitely filled my summer wardrobe with tons of scalloped pieces!

I feel like the Gucci trend still has a lot of life in it as I feel like cool Gucci loafers are the perfect accent to a summer outfit.

Its not summer without breaking out a cool and relaxed stripped top, especially a pinstripe top. Pinstripe, in particularly in blue tone have especially been trending and I find that they are perfect paired with ripped denim and a statement bag.

I'm also seeing a ton of bows and tie detail, especially on sleeves and as belts for skirts. I'm actually loving how bows and ties add a subtle detail to a plain outfit. I have for sure been guilty of buying a ton of pieces with bows and ties. Sleeves with bow ties give interest to a basic top and looks well-though out without actually trying.

What are you edited to wear for summer? I'd love to know!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sincerely,
