Over the Knee











Striped T-shirt dress: Cotton On
Denim Chambray Shirt: Pacsun
Over the knee boots: Steve Madden
Black choker: handmade by my friend Karen
Long Pendant necklace: thrifted
Sunglasses: They are Banana Republic, but I got them at TJ Maxx
Purse: Forever 21
A couple of weeks ago I got to meet Steve Madden and this was really exciting for me because he is HANDS DOWN my favorite shoe designer, I have so many pairs of SM shoes. The funniest thing actually happened that I still cannot get over, I went with my friend Imani and we were in the actual Steve Madden store and he literally walked in. For any of you that know how small his stores are you can imagine that this was very shocking. We literally shopped in Steve Madden with Steve Madden. Small world, great times. I bought these the day I met him and I am so in love with them I probably won't even wear them to refrain from getting them dirty. I bought one other pair, so those will probably be in a post soon. I figured I had to do a post using them because they are my latest addition. I loved these because they are over the knee and I have never owned over the knee boots before. Since they are so high they look so cute with short dresses as such. Since the dress has stripes and is already baggy, it is hard to find jackets or sweaters that will look good over it because it breaks it up too much. For that reason, I stuck with my denim chambray shirt and just tied it around my waste to add style and bring in another element rather than just wearing the dress. With black and white I would usually bring in another color like red or yellow, but I just stuck with black and white for jewelry. Since the dress has stripes I thought the choker would look cute since it looks like a black stripe (shout out to Karen for making me this), I usually like to wear multiple necklaces so I added a long one too. It is simple and just has a beautiful pendant that sparkles a little bit (I couldn't believe I found it at a thrift store). This is just my go to purse, it was cheap from F21 and pretty much goes with everything. These boots can go with so many things for the fact that they are black leather and the fact that they are so stylish in themselves. Just the fact that they cover the knee adds so much more style than if they were below the knee. I feel like this outfit is a good example on how you can take a bunch of simple pieces and make them into something really cute. Wearing boots like this with a simple dress is more unexpected than wearing black converse or sandals, and makes it more fun. I want to thank Steve for structuring and shaping his shoes perfectly and putting shoes on my feet all these years. The end. xoxo

CRAZY PANTS

Black Tee: Cotton On  Boots: ASOS Crescent moon necklace: F21 Turquoise necklace: Charming Charlie Sunglasses: Banana Republic Pants: Roxy Nothing says statement more than these pants, they have to be one of my favorite pairs that I own. Selena, Wendy, and I planned to go to LA and I knew we would be stumbling across this infamous pink wall on Melrose, so of course I planned to wear these pants b/c they have pink in them & I knew they would look cute against the wall (my OCD about matching goes to a whole another level sometimes). I bought these at the Roxy/ Quiksilver store and fell in love with them instantly. I actually think they are meant to just wear to the beach over your bathing suit (because they have that linen feel), but why limit it to that?! I have tried to wear these pants with other combinations of colors to bring out the accents, but nothing looks as good as plain black. To bring out color, I wore two necklaces bu...

Malibu Wine Safari

Hat: Brixton Dress: H&M White tee: Boohoo Belt: Pacsun Sunglasses: RayBan Shoes: Steve Madden Necklace: Urban Outfitters Bracelets: one is 'Tiffany' and one I got in France  I did the Malibu Wine Safari last month for my other friend's birthday and my life was made when I got to feed my spirit animal, a llama. March was full of wine and birthdays haha. These hats made a total comeback and while a black one would've looked just as cute, I like to add color and match my sunglasses hehe. I added the white t-shirt under the dress to #1 match my shoes, and #2 make it have more of a school girl look. I like layering tees under things it makes the look more unexpected. It is important to pick silver or gold when accessorizing. Although mixing is not a crime I am OCD about it all matching. I love the reflective RayBans because the turquoise is my favorite color and it makes any outfit pop. Even hanging them from your shirt acts as an ...

Bustier Crop Top: Tilly's Tribal print maxi skirt: Brandy Melville Leather boots: ASOS Charm bracelet: H&M Earrings: Forever 21 Fedora: Forever 21 I love this skirt for one reason and that is the slit going down the side. Maxi skirts can actually be quite awkward if they have a straight hem because then a lot of shoes look weird with it. The slit allows you to wear different style shoes because it is still a long skirt, but it is open enough to see your legs and your shoes clearly. I chose this top because I did not want to use a boring black crop top because I think it is too predictable. I love this top because the color is really pretty and it is made for high-waisted skirts or shorts as such. The zipper in the front and the criss-cross straps in the back are all little details that make it stand out more than a regular top. Granted, a regular black shirt would still make this outfit really cute. To even out the black from my...
