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?

These heels. are. amazing. Just got them in from ShoePrivee.com. It’s a shoe-subscription website that has a great collection of designer shoes at a VERY affordable price. All shoes start at $39.95. There’s no membership fees & FREE shipping. Hey now! Perfect for us frugalistas out there. Head on over to their site to check out their collection. You won’t regret it.

Didi has made an appearance.

dress: Forever 21 (sold out, but this one is next on my list). belt: Forever 21. sneakers: Converse (I really want these here & here). arm candy: Silver/Blue bangle (old), Forever 21 Hex Nut bracelet (old), Lauren Elan Misel Bracelet, G-Shock Watch, David Yurman Bracelet. sunglasses: Forever 21.

That dog assistant/best friend/daughter of mine makes my days very bright and full of laughter. Apparently, she would like to add “model” to the aforementioned list. Oh, Didi

I’m not sure if you can tell much of a difference, but I did add a cellophane treatment to my hair just recently to add a bit of a red tone. I’ve been wanting to do something different with my hair, but I’m taking baby steps towards my current hair color obsession. Many have told me I’m a bit crazy for wanting this change, but I might take the plunge and go for it right after graduation. I mean…it is just hair.

Here’s what has my attention these days. What are your thoughts?
