Today is just an average day-off for me, just heading out and about to run some errands and get some stuff done!

I have definitely wore everything in previous posts (I am ridiculously obsessed with these shoes), however, I’ve never actually wore this shirt before. It’s almost like a crop top (but not quite) the front of it is covered with pearly-bead things, and it’s really comfortable.

L-o-v-e it!

1. Milanoo VS. Valentino

Milanoo and Valentino

The heel on the left is from a website called Milanoo (which I’ve recently discovered is a type of website that has like everything from watches to jackets for a decent price) called the “Black PU Leather Studded T-Strap Spike Heel Pointed Toe Dress Sandals” (dare you to say that 5x fast!). This shoe was made to look as identical to Valentino’s as possible, and is quite convincing. Valentino’s famous designer shoe (right) is called the “Rockstud Patent Leather Sandal”. I personally, am a big lover of this style shoe, it’s very chic and can give an edgy feel to an outfit… which I love! Now obviously I prefer the Valentino’s because they are real leather so they are bound to be more comfortable and I like that the heel  isn’t too high. However, the Milanoo shoe is a great alternative which is like 1/100th of the price!

Milanoo Heels: $25.99                             Valentino Heels: $1,133.34

 

2. Nordstrom VS. Tom Ford

Nordstrom vs Tom FordCat-eye sunglasses have grown to become really  popular… especially this season. The cat-eye shades on the left are from Nordstrom and are called “The Diamond Brunch”, these are all black as you can see, but also come in other shades/patterns and have a gold symbol on the handle of the sunglasses. The sunglasses on the right are by the ever-so-famous Tom Ford and are called the “Nikita Cat-Eye Sunglasses”, these sunglasses are without a doubt beautiful just as all his other sunglasses. However, honestly, I prefer the Nordstrom pair. I really like the thick rims and just the slight flick of the cat-eye rather than too dramatic… Even though sometimes dramatic is a good thing.

Nordstrom: $63.79                                                 Tom Ford: $360.00

Moxie’s!

Today is my dad’s birthday, and we have made it a tradition every year to go to Moxie’s because their peppercorn steak is his favorite. So of course, we headed to Moxie’s for a top-notch dinner. Now I’m one of those people who get a plate of food or get a pretty looking drink  and can’t help but take a picture of it… so yes, I took photos of what I ate and I regret nothing. Also I included a couple shots of what I wore.

10 Things You Need In Your Closet This Spring/Summer

This post is pretty straight forward, these are the top ten things that I think every woman needs in her wardrobe this Spring and Summer! Read on if you’re interested in learning about the latest fads, or if you just like looking at pictures!

 

10. A bright bag. Whether it’s a satchel, or a tote! Everyone loves a pop of color, no matter what other colors you’re wearing the bright colored bag will draw attention to your outfit and will make your look so much more fun! This season, fortunately, it seems like almost every color is in style, so choose a bag in your favorite color  (it’ll make it a little more ‘you’).

9. A patterned  button-up. Pattern button-ups can go with any occasion, working, shopping, or going for stroll downtown. Patterns are fun, and button-up blouses make the patterned top not look ‘childish’, but chic.

8. A statement necklace. With a statement necklace you can change a work outfit to an evening outfit with just an accessory. Sometimes all an outfit needs for a little kick is a bright chunky necklace… That is all.

7. Neon heels or flats. I am obsessed with everything neon right now, especially neon shoes! They are very bold and you have to wear them with confidence, but once you got it you will own that entire outfit… Trust me.

6. Plaid! As far as I’m concerned, every wardrobe needs at least one plaid shirt because plaid is ALWAYS in style. You can pretty much wear it any way, that’s what makes it fun! For example, one day you could go for a grunge-type look and the next day you could go a little more chic. It all depends how you style it, of course.

5. The skater skirt. Okay so my goal this season is to obtain as many skater skirts in as many colors/patterns as possible. The skater skirt is very popular this year, it’s fun and flirty and can work with any outfit!

4. High-waisted shorts. Of course high-waisted shorts are the most popular shorts right now, but instead of buying the typical jean high-waisted shorts buy a patterned high-waist short this Summer and take a step out of the box.

3. Classic jean shirt. Jean shirts go with any outfit and if the weather is being a little unpredictable, a jean shirt is perfect for any Spring or Summer weather. Can be styled beautifully with a statement necklace or a dainty necklace (depending on your outfit).

2. A dainty necklace. Yes I will admit that I looove chunky bright necklaces but every once in a while it’s nice to be subtle with jewelry. I love pairing a dainty necklace with another statement accessory (such as a neon shoe, a bright clutch or a powerful top). Dainty necklaces are also great to wear if you’re just wearing a low-key outfit that’s not too dramatic. If you want you can even layer dainty necklaces!ba2d7640a64daf0867914629a9fa30f1).

1. Sunglasses. Oh no the sun’s in your eyes? Why don’t you take out your super stylish ginormous sassy shades to tell off the sun? Sunglasses of course, are an accessory that everyone wears in the Spring/Summer time when the sun really shines. Why not protect your beautiful eyes with beautiful sunglasses? Duh! This Summer what’s really in is big round sunglasses (yes they look very 70’s vintage, but they’re awesome), and colored rim sunglasses… y’all know how I feel about a pop of color.

Penny for my thoughts? Basically, everyone needs to be wearing more color! Yes I love my black, whites and grey’s, I will admit it. But this season I made a rule for myself to only buy things of color, whether it’s a pastel or a neon, I need a little more color in my life. (It makes the world seem a little brighter). Even though it’s extremely difficult not to buy a really cute black top, AVOID IT, go for something with color, y’all should make it a rule for yourselves too!!

Thanks for reading!!

Adios,

Charmaine xx
