Lust List: July

This list is heavily influenced by my upcoming trip to California which will entail non-stop exploring of all that The Golden State has to offer. I anticipate that hurting feet from constant walking, the sun with 0% humidity and, overall, a lot of traveling will sum up my trip. Because of this it is a perfect time to finally buy the New Balance Classics I have been eyeing for the longest time and invest in a new purse (cough cough Philip Lim). Other things such as Warby Parker sunglasses will be great for when my contacts dry up or I just feel too lazy to put them in, a Nixon watch because my Casio watches are getting old, and the perfect lip color to touch up when I can't get back to my hotel room. 

Peplums | Envelope skorts

Wearing: H&M top, Forever 21 skort, Windor Smith shoes, Urban Outfitters necklace

I love playing with shapes and silhouettes of clothing just as much as I enjoy mixing patterns and textures, and todays outfit is a prime example. I slightly hated myself for caving into the two trends I am wearing: peplums and the infamous envelope skirt. I always thought the peplum silhouette was way too girly for my liking and I was tired of seeing the same Zara-inspired skirt on every fashion blog I clicked on (despite how much I adored the piece). However, I caved and bought the two pieces. Who would have thought I'd pair them together? Surprisingly, these two pieces create an interesting outfit full of dimension.

How I Style Birkenstocks

If any of you were not aware of my YouTube channel, well, you are now! Check out my latest styling video featuring one of my favorite summer trends: Birkenstocks. 

Summer Silhouettes

Wearing: Asos shirt, Zara skirt, Windsor Smith shoes

This skirt is ideal for the summer between the crochet lace overlay and snow white tint to it. Its versatility allows me to dress it up or down and pair it with multiple items. Today I decided to throw over a boxy top adorned with one of my favorite prints on it, gingham. The top flows seamlessly into the silhouette of the skirt making the outfit appear as one, which is always great if aiming for an effortless look.
