NEW IN: SHEER TINT

IMG_6342 IMG_6349CALIFORNIA SUNGLASSES c/o POLETTE (here)

 

When you want something so bad, I swear. Just a couple posts ago I was talking about how I wanted sheer tint sunglasses (couldn’t decide between baby pink or baby blue), and now I own a pair. The color isn’t something I would normally go for, which was a scary but exciting choice for me. Like I’ve told you all, aswell as myself, sometimes I bore myself because my closet is one big heap of black. I cant wait to wear them with an all black look though, so they can POP. Polette sells designer’s frames from $6.99 to $49.99, and anti-reflective and anti-scratching coating lenses from $9.99 to $75.  Still curious about Polette? There are a couple of interesting things you should know:

  1. They came all the way from Amsterdam.
  2. Polette not only offers a variety of sunglasses, but they also have an array of actual reading glasses to pick from. Shop one of my favorite frames DEAN (here).
  3. All Polette frames and lenses are provided straight from their workshops, which suppresses the cost of intermediates.

Found a pair you like? If so, I’m happy to announce that I will be hosting a contest in collaboration with Polette! Stay tuned for further details on how you can win an exclusive 50% off voucher.

WHAT I WORE: ZAFUL DRESS

HANDBAG/ DIOPHY
HEELS/ PUBLIC DESIRE

 

Back again with Zaful on today’s post! I know I don’t frequently wear colors, but this little dress caught my eye, and it caught Zuri off-guard. Off shoulder tops and dresses have been getting some hype, so I decided to try them out for myself. As you may or may not know, I am short (5’2 but my license says 5’1, whatever). because I am petite, I usually shy away from dresses that are not bodycon. I feel that my shape gets lost, so I tend to balance a baggy top with some nice Levi’s shorts, for example. This dress, on the other hand, was the perfect length for me, and the off shoulder details distract from the fact that is a relatively loose dress. It also has some flattering slits on each side, which I personally loved. The fabric was light and perfect for the Texas heat. Hallelujah.

Side Note: I recommend that you read the measurements, and pick the sizing accordingly.

 

NEW IN: LEATHER CHOKER

A minimalist essential, the Less Leather choker is sleek  and 100% sustainable. Less Leather products are made from kangaroo leather, and handcrafted in Australia. Being that I love a good choker myself, I had to add this piece to my collection. I have velvet chokers, and western inspired bolo ties, but nothing like this. A simple black choker with soft ribbon details is all I need in this life.

This was simply an introduction, and I cannot wait to show you all details of how it looks on!

WHAT I WORE: ZAFUL LACE BRA TOP

DENIM/ ASOS
WHITE CROP/ FOREVER 21
BOOTS/ BOOHOO

 

So first things first, as I explained in my baby tee post, the way to achieve the look is to buy a kids tee and cut it. I realized that while I was typing that post, and after I had taken these pictures, which is why the crop in this post has a scoop neck. It would have definitely looked much better with the cut kids tee, but hey, you live and you learn. The lace bra top, though, is one of my favorite pieces in my closet as of lately. If I’m daring enough, I’ll wear it by itself with a blazer on top when it gets cooler. So some of you might have heard of Zaful, and some of you might be absolutely clueless. I personally thought the price range was great, and the selection of clothing was trendy. Here are my top three pieces from Zaful: 1, 2, and 3. Aside from those, you can shop the bralette I am wearing here, and you can check out how I felt about the packaging here. I had never tried anything like this, but the layering trend going on right now is not bad at all. I am currently looking into purchasing a silky slip dress, and a silky top. Wish me luck.
