Funky Florals

blouse: H&M (similar here & here). pants: H&M (similar). shoes: Zara. purse: Michael Kors. glasses: House of Harlow.

There’s nothing like that feeling of wearing a brand new outfit. I did a bit of a shopping spree this past week. (You can’t blame me though.) The nearest H&M to me is almost 2 hours away, so when I decide to make the drive… I make it worthwhile. Hence the fact that you have been seeing more of it in my daily wardrobe.

I’m so in love with this floral print blouse. The versatility of it gives me the opportunity to throw it on with some jeans and heels like these or even with a pair of pants like the ones I have on in this outfit. I subtly snuck in the snake pattern and it fit together so perfectly. Maybe it’s because the shoes are just that amazing. It’s always fun to mix your patterns as long as you don’t go too crazy. Speaking of shoes!…. I’ve got a present for you: 40% Off All Shoes at House of Harlow! Use Coupon Code: 40OFF at Checkout!

 

You’re welcome. XO. Happy Thursday.

bold colors, animal and floral prints, and black and whites.

Oh, the typical description of most things inhabiting my closet space. And after this week, the percentage only increases. Need to do some “spring cleaning” soon to make some space. Be excited…this only means I’ll probably be selling some of my closet and it’s your chance to have a piece of me in your life. Lovely, I promise. Here’s a few things I picked up this week that will make me closer to being a broke city chick.

Breaking the Rules.

top: H&M. jeans: H&M. shoes: Urban Outfitters c/o my beautiful friend Andrea. sunglasses: Karen Walker. accessories: Michael Kors watch, Forever 21 cuff.

In honor of the beginning of Spring, I decided to break the “rules” of the don’t wear white after Labor Day. Yeah, whatever. I live in Miami and the weather here is always tropical, so it’s hard to stop yourself from not wanting to wear your whites. It’s crisp, clean (unless you have the same tendency that I do to somehow dirty yourself), and fun because you have so much opportunity to give the outfit some personality. Like I did here, with these adorable snake loafers. If it’s not the shoes, it’s the accessories too. Check out 3 other ways I would pair the all white look with:

white top & pants

Look #1
ASOS Sunglasses
Steven by Steve Madden Crossbody Bag (This is my “steal” version of the Cambridge Satchel)
ASOS Floral Print Loafers

Look #2
ASOS Croc Laptop Case (Twofer: I would so use this as a clutch too!)
Nine West Heels

Look #3
MAC Lipstick
Jessica Simpson Wedges

Go ahead, give it a try. Break the rules & embrace it!

Punky Brewster.

blouse: H&M. jacket: Love 21 (similar). pants: ASOS. (Love the matching blazer!) shoes: c/o Shoe Privee. bag: Hermes. accessories: Michael Kors Watch, David Yurman Bracelet, Forever 21 Bracelet, Forever 21 sunglasses (similar).

This has to be one of my favorite outfits ever. Everything about it expresses my 21st century Punky Brewster style. The casual/tomboy-ish-ness of the cargo jacket, the spunk from the floral, and the pizazz from the shoes. Perfection. I’ve recently become a follower of the floral pant trend. I know I splurged a little on these from ASOS, I couldn’t resist the print. BUT I did well in finding you a “steal” on a similar pair from Anthropologie. Yes, I know. You’re welcome. Now, can we please now focus our attention to what’s inhabiting the area south of the ankles?
