Studs at Sunrise.

top: GoJane (save 20% with code: PSTYLEW20). pants: Forever 21 (similar, sorta). purse: Hermes (my best GoodWill find ever!) monogram necklace: custom order to [email protected], chain necklace: Spike the Punch (look below for other alternatives)  earrings: Half United. watch: Nixon. bracelets: Rivers and Caves, David Yurman, Lauren Elan. glasses: Prada (eBay find).

After finding this steal of a shirt last week (look familiar?), I couldn’t wait to wear it! It’s officially become one of my favorite pieces for this season. 1. it’s plaid. 2. it’s studded. 3. it’s soooo comfy. You can’t go wrong with any of the three. So I shook things up a bit and went with my turquoise wide legs for that perfect pop of color and to dress it up for work. I must say, this outfit is actually giving me a mix of Jenna Lyons and Taylor Tomasi-Hill vibes. I likey. (If you didn’t know, those two ladies are one of my biggest style inspirations!)

Splurge VS Steal: Zimmermann Bikini

splurge: Zimmermann vs steal: Target.

In light of this week’s Miami Mercedes-Benz Swim Fashion Week, today’s Splurge vs Steal is all about the bikini! Aside from whatever many people think of Target and their bikinis, I love them! They’re very affordable and up to the current trends… As you can see.

Now, are the Target bottoms more “full coverage” than most popular (expensive) brands? Yes, that’s why most of us women are willing to spend a little more cash to make sure our back end looks on point. But I’ve noticed that they’ve gotten a lot better with that. I’ve been able to find a few that don’t look like I’m wearing a diaper or make my butt disappear.

Living in a beachy city, you can never go wrong with “too many” bathing suits. So it’s a winning steal for me!

Splurge VS Steal: Christian Louboutin & Steve Madden

splurge vs steal: Steve Madden SHOWTIME

I’m most familiar with the Louboutin pair thanks to the Kardashian girls. I loved the chunky platform but not the $600+ price. As most of you know by now, I went on my usual hunt. I found a similar pair from Steve Madden, but something in me wasn’t 100% satisfied. So I continued to search, and here my friends Forever 21 won my heart over!

They just arrived in the mail and they’re gorgeous! Can’t wait to wear them out. Keep your eyes posted, they’ll be making their appearance pretty soon.
