10 feminist tees

Wednesday, January 25, 2017 46 comments
Here we are, days after the Women's March. Days after inauguration day. And I still have hope for a brighter future. I am proud and grateful to have been able to march with my sisters and allies on Saturday. The whole experience was eye opening and inspiring. I have never witnessed so much unity for a sole purpose in my entire life. And the unity was to make our message loud and clear. Women's rights are human rights. At the march, I saw so many people wearing their message proudly on their tee. This is such a great way to make a statement without actually speaking. Below are my top 10 picks of stylish feminist tees. Do you have a favorite?

1. Stoned Emmaculate feminist ringer tee
2. Stoned Emmaculate equal rights ringer tee
3. Everlane 100% Human sweater
4. Otherwild the future is female tee
5. Elizabeth and James stronger together tee (in stores)
6. Lookhuman Nasty woman tee 7. boob tee
8. Esty GRL PWR sweater
9. vintage woman without a man tee
10. Stoned Immaculate girls just wanna tee

It's a bit tomboy, a bit funky, and a lot of fun! Right up my alley!

Eugenia Kim hat
Stella Mccartney pants
Gianvito Rossi boots
Chloe bag


H&M sweater

Above I've included links for both versions of the same outfit. Happy shopping!

seasons change

Monday, September 7, 2015 4 comments
Topshop tie front top
Zara jeans
Zara suede jacket
Asos suede bag
Topshop mary janes

Suede is the ultimate fabric of the season. It is the perfect solution to transitional weather woes. You can layer it over your favorite summer piece (the lace up crop top seen everywhere last season) and make it work for fall. The best benefit of suede is that it is warm enough for a night out, yet is lightweight enough for a daytime look.

Zara retro print dress
Rag and Bone fedora
Free People leather wrap bolo
Comme Des Garcons clutch
Warehouse ghillie shoes

Just because you are saying goodbye to summer doesn't mean you have to say goodbye to your favorite floral dresses. Easily reign in the flow of those sun dresses by pairing it with bold black accessories.

Alexander McQueen blouse
DKNY fur vest
Saint Laurent clutch
H&M denim shorts
Asos circle belt
Ray-Ban round sunglasses
Alexander Wang Gia boots

The denim cutoff + ankle boot combo is my personal favorite for transitional weather. In the same way you don't have to give up floral dresses, you don't have to give up denim shorts either. Just bundle an extra layer on top (my go-to is a sleeveless vest) and you are ready for those chillier fall nights.

what's in my bag

Tuesday, October 28, 2014 0 comments


These are a few of my daily necessities I carry with me throughout the day. A portable power bank is a must if you are always on the go like me. This one from Lumsing is the ultimate stylish and functional accessory. I love that it comes in this rose gold color, matching perfectly with my phone. If you are as visual of a person as I am, you will appreciate the little details in life like this. Other things to note: Elizabeth & James Nirvana White is my current go-to scent. I love the Black version as well, but this white one is slightly more feminine. Also, I always bring two shades of lipstick, because you just never know where the day will take you. Sometimes a simple lipstick switch can amp up an outfit making it perfect from day to night.

Last week I received a cute little package c/o Infinitine. They are an online jewelry shop that carries the cutest dainty pieces that I absolutely love. And the best thing about them is that every piece is super affordable, I don't think I saw anything over $20. Whenever I find an affordable jewelry line that makes really good quality items, I love sharing it because it's so hard to find! Be sure to check out their shop here.

pretty gold things

Wednesday, January 8, 2014 3 comments


so in love with my "carrie" necklace c/o oNecklace. those of you who know me, know im a serious sex and the city addict. that iconic necklace of hers said so much about her personality and style it pretty much became a fixture on the show. so happy i now have my very own carrie necklace. i'll definitely be wearing it on the daily. the one i got is 24k gold plated, but for those of you who have sensitive skin, they also have 14k gold and white gold available. and a little bonus, below is the infamous scene where carrie falls in dior plus a deleted scene from the series when carrie goes back to dior to look for her necklace. so funny!

the long drape coat

source: lovely by lucy, mia marionette, carolines mode, vanilla scented

one great way to transition into spring is with the long trench coat. i find this look extremely fresh in a drapey pastel fabric. although a navy or black would be great (and seasonless) too. quick tip: thrift shops always have a great supply of coats like this. be sure to check out the coat section the next time you go thrifting. below are some of my favorites in stores right now, click on images to shop. i just ordered the mint one and i cant wait to wear it this summer.
