I wasn’t always a huge fan of the boyfriend jeans, but thanks to Jess, I’m jumping on the slouchy jeans bandwagon. Jess purchased this jeans from ASOS but unfortunately it didn’t fit her quite right. Rather than dealing with the hassle of returning the jeans, she decided to pass it on to me instead. YAY! I must say I am becoming a huge fan of how comfy this baby is.

Outfit Combo: blouse from Zara, boyfriend jeans from ASOS, heels from Stuart Weitzman, clutch from Monserat de Lucca.

Ah the 90’s: it was a glorious time of crop tops, doc martens, teeny backpacks, and super dark lipstick. I am so glad that fashion is cyclical because some of my favorite items from the good ol’ days is back in style again.

Sooooo… you may have noticed a bit of absence in blogging this past week. Life has been keeping Jess and I a tad busy lately, and as a consequence we’ve been unintentionally neglecting the blog. For those of you who doesn’t blog as a full time job (or maybe even if you do), sometimes your “real” life can take over and you just have those weeks where you’re not willing to stay up until 2am to write a blog.

This another one of my French Connection sale finds! I couldn’t help stocking up on a few jumpers when Gita first alerted me to the sale. For me they were all smart sale purchases because I’ll wear them into fall and possibly winter (layered of course). My only regret?!?? A few jumpers I wanted were already sold out in my size #shoppingprobs

Outfit Combo: top: French Connection Stevie Knits PU Jumper, bottom: Old Navy boyfriend jean shorts, bag: 3.1 Philip Lim ‘Pashli – Medium’ leather satchel, shoes: Loeffler Randall (old), and sunnies: Ray-Ban Original Aviators

If you’re thinking this pair of shorts look familiar, you’re having déjà vu for good reason: these shorts were on the blog last wednesday. I bought the pleated crepe shorts from J.Crew in orange a few weeks back and loved it so much I had to get one in purple. It’s a perfect color match for lena tank form Yumi Kim, plus there was a big summer sale so a girl just couldn’t help herself.
And guess what? The sale is still going on. Mosey on over to J.Crew to get these shorts and enter the code “SHOPMORE” to get an extra 40% off all of their sale items. Now who doesn’t love getting good stuff on sale?!

Despite the humidity it’s always been difficult for me to keep a traditional white, sheer fabric, summer wardrobe. I try things on BUT never really ‘feel’ myself in it. Instead I end up gravitating towards black, gray, and other dark shades that aren’t typical ‘resort’ wear. WHAT CAN I SAY… it’s just my steelo, I wear what I want (Rick James voice)!

Outfit Combo: top: Zara (old), bottom: River Island faux leather skirt, bag: 3.1 Philip Lim ‘Pashli – Medium’ leather satchel, booties: VC Signature ‘Velmah’ leather booties (on sale!), and sunnies: Ray-Ban Original Aviators

Summer weather has been getting so hot lately that my number one priority in dressing has been to stay cool and comfortable. Don’t get me wrong, looking good is still a priority. So what’s a girl to do when it 90° F outside and she’s looking to upgrade her shorts & tank casual look? Enter the buttondown and crepe shorts.
The islet buttondown from Anthropologie is made from lightweight flowy material that lets air in so it keeps you cool in the hot summer days. While the pleated crepe shorts lets you show some skin and stay cool in a material thats dressier than the regular ol’ denim cutoffs.
Add some dressy sandals plus a super easy crown braid (video tutorial) and you are good to go!

So there I was watching K-drama, minding my own biz, not thinking about anything when Gita shoots me a text saying French Connection and J.Crew are having MAJOR sales — she’s the devil! Anyways, I ended up checking out the sales and purchased a few items… so much for my budget.

Outfit Combo: top: French Connection Summer Sloanie Kite Jumper (on sale!), bottom: Old Navy boyfriend jean shorts (similar here), shoes: Vans, bag: Fendi (old), and sunnies: Ray-Ban Original Aviators

Romper? Again? Yup, I told I’m obsessed you I can’t get enough of them. This one, from French Connection, is the comfiest one yet. It reminds me of the clothes I wore when I was little, playing around with the neighborhood kids. I guess there’s a reason they call them playsuits!

Outfit Combo: floral romper from French Connection, owl necklace from Forever 21, escapade platform sandal from Joie.

Like Gita’s dress yesterday, this is another FUN cutie that can be dressed up or down. Today I obvi dressed it down with a denim jacket and sneakers BUT I’ve also dressed it up with heels, a cute belt, and leather jacket. I just LOVE buying pieces that are so versatile… Don’t you?!??

Outfit Combo: top: Alexander McQueen scarf (similar style here) and Ralph Lauren denim jacket, dress: Uniqlo, shoes: Vans and sunnies: Ray-Ban Original Aviators

I’m sure you’ve heard of sweatpants and sweatshirts (and probably have some in your closet too). But you’ve probably never heard of the sweatdress until just now — it’s my latest comfy clothing find from French Connection. Let’s just say this dress is a very distant cousin of the frumpy sweatpants. You can wear it dressed down for lazy brunch days, of course. But it’s easily dressed up with the addition of some killer heels and clever accessories, like I’ve done in this post.

You guys probably already know this from my past outfit post that I’m a huge fan of the romper. The summer dresses in my closet are slowly being replaced by rompers — I just can’t get enough. If you don’t have one yet in your closet, I suggest you plunge into this trend ASAP!

I was feeling kind of bummed the other day because I realized I don’t have any more pool or beach vacay planned for the rest of the summer. Well can’t stay down for too long, since this means I gotta get to planning said vacay.
Also, I’m lucky enough to have a great rooftop deck in my apartment building. So until my vacation dream becomes a reality, I’ll be laying out on my rooftop deck, having myself a little mini stay-cation.

Outfit Combo: tank from from Nasty Gal, shorts from byCorpus, hat from Urban Outfitters, red bangle from Marc By Marc Jacobs, necklace, parable wedge sandals from Corso Como, USA totebag bag from Marc By Marc Jacobs.

Cause sometimes you just need a PUNCH of color in yo FACE!

I originally purchased this ‘shirt’ from Forever 21 to wear as a summer dress, but alas it shrunk in the dryer (DOH!). Since then I’ve been wearing it as a tee and I gotta say it is one of my FAVs now. The shape is super forgiving when you want to go all FK (fat kid) at a crawfish boil… OH YEA!
