METAL DETECTOR

I’m seeing the metal plates everywhere, and I’m definitely not complaining. Considering the fact I already own 2 of the pairs above and DYING for a third! Can you guess which one? I’ll give you a little hint….I’ve got the blllllllllluuues for them. (A little too obvious of a hint)

I’ve put together my favorites that I’ve detected so far and added some fun Splurge vs Steal action for you!

Let’s start from the top.

Taupe & Turquoise

top & neon cami bralette: Lush via Ohm Boutique (I’m liking this one). jeans: Forever 21. shoes: ShoeMint. bracelets: Old (cuff – Forever 21, bangles – market in Spain). purse: Zara.

I can’t help but to always want to add a pop of color to my neutral outfits. I think it’s the Miami tropical flavor in me. It’s a basic outfit that’s perfect to go from work to dinner afterwords. (At least, that’s what I did!)

Welcome to the Neighborhood

top: Tuc + Wes. jeans: Forever 21. shoes: c/o GoJane. purse: Zara. necklace: Sam Moon.

Early in the AM yesterday, I had a lovely breakfast date with Adrian at starbucks. We love to grab breakfast together and get any of our two favorites: the original cuban breakfast (cafe con leche, tostadas, croquetas….the works.) or the breakfast sandwiches at Starbucks. I love spending time with my beau!

To say I have a “favorite piece” from this outfit would be 1. a lie and 2. a very difficult lie to come up with. I’ll start off with my shoes. Go Jane sent them over to me a few days ago and I instantly fell in love. I’m infatuated with it’s southwestern print and bright colors. Definitely a summer statement piece. Let’s not forget the amazing prices at GoJane.com.  Their website is definitely my one stop shop for a good steal on a hot pair of heels. Any shoe I’ve bought from them has always been an attention grabber.

Next, we switch our attention to my necklace. I’m a HUGE fan of Dannijo jewelry! I wish I had what it took to be able to own a piece from their collection. But I don’t. So cue in the hunt for a statement “bib style” necklace that isn’t going to make my wallet scream. After researching online, something my friends and family have no clue how I get it done, I got it done. I found the perfect steal. Thank you SamMoon.com! They have such a great variety of jewelry at extremely affordable prices. Instead of putting down almost $500 for the Dannijo bib, I spent $13.99. Yes. For real. I’m not kidding.

Now, let’s take a walk into a neighborhood I’m most familiar with…Broke City. My top is from Orly Shani’s (contestant in NBC’s Fashion Star) new clothing line! I’m a huge fan of her brand Tuc + Wes because it’s so relatable to me, a true broke city chick. All her shirts have great graphics that say “strapped” “over drawn” and the original phrase “broke city”. I’ve had the opportunity to share a few emails with her and she’s such a sweetheart.

Hope everyone is enjoying their week back to reality after the long weekend. I know I’m still adjusting! XOXO

nifty thrifty neon

top & cami: Forever 21 (similar). jeans: thrift find (similar via ASOS). heels: Steve Madden. arm candy: Forever 21 (similar), Nixon, David Yurman, cross made by local jewelry designer (similar via Miss Selfridge)

These jeans are definitely one of my favorite thrift store finds…but I’m pretty sure I say that about everything I find. The crazy print and neon colors jumped out at me instantly when browsing through the racks. I couldn’t leave home without them. It’s always fun to take risks with such wild colors and prints.
