NEW IN: ZAFUL LACE

IMG_5818 kendal

If any of you keep up with Monica Rose’s Instagram, you have probably noticed that it. is. everything. One of my recent favorites was Kendall’s lace bra top over the white baby tee. Of course, I am a broke girl so it’s been a difficult internal battle for me. The Anine Bing bra top is pricey, and I cannot find it in me to spend that much on a sheer bra top. After almost giving up, I found an extremely affordable option on Zaful. You already know I hit that checkout button. Love it? Check out the bra top here.

#BROKEGIRLSWISHLIST 1

Sheer tint sunglasses have caught my eye recently, and I even attempted to buy a pair (check out my last post), but to my disappointment, they were more of a reflective lens. I’ve been drooling over the Gentle Monster X Kong Hyo Jin frames, and the tints are to die for! I was leaning towards the babyblue and pink tint, but they sold out. My hunt continues…

If you’ve never heard of Gentle Monster, I suggest you browse the site immediately. It’s a Korean eyewear label, and I couldn’t be more obsessed. Speaking of Korea, I’ve been inspired by their fashion sense, music, and creativity. I need to take a trip to Seoul ASAP. Also, I’ve joined Pinterest, so if you’re interested in keeping up with all black looks, hair inspo, home decor, and Korean fashion, click here.

WHAT I WORE: GREY & BACKLESS

And here I go again with another bodysuit, because I can’t seem to get over how convenient they are. This new piece is different from the rest of my collection, simply because it’s grey and it has some interesting details. It’s the small details that catch my eye, and this bodysuit has numerous of them: it’s backless,  has a plunging neckline, and has shoulder ties. In my opinion, every girl needs a bodysuit or two, and if you don’t own any now would be a good time to start trying them out. As you’ve seen in previous posts, my go-to handbags are from Diophy and this one is no different. The tassels on this bag are so thick that it gives character to an entire outfit (thank god because although I love all black, I bore myself sometimes). I don’t own anything like this, so I’m definitely excited to wear it out this summer. Speaking of summer, I’m petrified of the heatwaves that will be hitting Texas this year. How we survive 102 degrees is beyond me. Is that even habitable?

WHAT I WORE: PINSTRIPES

Cap: Necessary Clothing (here)
Bag: Diophy
Heels: Public Desire

 

The hunt for perfect culottes has ended. Being that I’m relatively short, about 5’3 on a good day, I’ve been hesitant to wear culottes. But of course, after a little pep talk with myself and the discovery of AKIRA, I took the leap. I’ve spent plenty of hours in dressing rooms wishing I was taller, but somehow the pinstripes and slits on this pair of culottes worked out perfectly for my stature. If you’re not feeling this look, toss the cap and switch the tank for a crop top for a nighttime outfit. Want to see more from AKIRA? Shop their killer new arrivals here!
