Summer is around the corner! My favorite part of the warm weather is being able to wear sandals. Living in New England doesn’t allow me to wear sandals year round but I will wear sandals until the first snow fall. In college I always wore my sandals up until November when ultimately my roommate would say “roomie it’s time to put those away!”. 

Here are some of my top finds online from casual to dressy, but all affordable. Which sandal is your favorite?

Sandals| Deana & Ozzy Double Strap Sandal, $29.00 at Urban Outfitters | Gold Medal Sandal, $49.99 at Modcloth | Studded Ankle Strap Sandals, $49.90 at Zara | Clear Thong Sandals, $12.80 at Forever21 | Clear Strap Colorblocked Sandals, $19.80 at Forever21 | Xhilaration Lavada Slide Sandal, $16.99 at Target

I’m loving this lose knit sweater featuring a cutout back. All things cutout is my latest obsession and it’s the perfect shade of dusty pink! I paired it with these gorgeous tiered crochet shorts. So feminine and super flattering. I added some great stacked bracelets with lots of white, pink, and black to complement the outfit. To complete the look I added my favorite spiked flats.

I hope you love it!

I love creating looks that are both feminine and edgy! I’ve been looking for a great pair of studded shorts and love these white denim ones with frayed leg openings. I wore mine with a long sleeve lace top from H&M’s conscious collection. Made from eco-friendly materials the collection boasts a variety of great textures and items. The only downside, most of the pieces are very expensive and do put a serious dent in your wallet. I completed the look with these great spiked flats.

I hope you love it!

I’ve been looking for these neon coral colored skinnies and finally found them! I paired them with a great relaxed tee featuring spiked shoulders. For jewelry I added stacked bracelets with spikes and skulls in white and gold and completed the outfit with a pair of comfortable studded flats.

I hope you love it!

Love this studded metallic linen-blend blazer! With an open front and pyramid studded shawl lapel this blazer is going to become a staple in your Spring wardrobe. I added a blush pink beaded tank underneath to keep the look soft and feminine. Paired along with these gorgeous lace overlay shorts, the outfit has become one of my favorites. To complete the outfit I added these chic studded light pink flats.

I hope you love it!

I hope you love it!

Winter was in full effect this weekend with Boston receiving almost 2 feet of snow! Luckily the snow didn’t stop our morning shoot! 

I recently bought this gold sequin collar blouse and love it! The taupe blouse has this great trim down along the front on the cuffs. I paired it with these simple black shorts with metallic gold horizontal sequins running down the side. To complete the look I added my studded black flats.

I hope you love it!

I am in love with these jacquard high waisted shorts with gold buttons on the front. My favorite sheer blouse goes perfectly with the shorts. Don’t be afraid to wear your shorts in the winter; have fun with sheer and printed tights. I paired mine with my studded flats and to complete the outfit I added a small gold glitter envelope clutch.

I hope you love it!

Ahh.. It’s my birthday! When I was little I was obsessed with dreaming of all the dolls I would be unwrapping and what color the frosting on my cake would be. These days getting older has come to mean more about just receiving love from the people in your life and having them shout it out a little louder. I do still look forward to a good slice of cake.

I wanted to wear an outfit that made me feel feminine and gorgeous. I fell in deep sequin love with this blush pink sheer blouse at Forever21 immediately. How can a gorgeous sequin collar not make a girl happy! Immediately I knew it would go perfect with this skirt I just painted. You can see how to do that in this DIY post

The outfit is so gorgeous by itself that I wanted to keep the jewelry simple. I added this cute charm bracelet from WetSeal. You can buy a similar one online here. To complete the look I added a pair of suede tan wedges. 

I hope you love it! Don’t forget to enter the American Eagle giveaway here if you haven’t yet!

I’m so excited to share these amazing shorts I bought and studded myself. Look out for the DIY post later this week for the shorts. The shorts I found at half price in the clearance section at Forever21 and love the gold painted look. Amazing! I added gold studs to half of the front and they came out perfect. I paired it with one of my favorite sheer blouses to add some femininity to the edginess of the outfit. Stacked bracelets and a wrap watch add tons of fun to the outfit and I simply can’t get enough of this arm candy trend!  The wrap watch can still be found in stores at Wet Seal and these amazing spiked bracelets aren’t available online but you can see similar ones at Aldo. To complete the look I paired with these great spiked flats.

I hope you love it!
