SUMMER STYLE SERIES: Crop It Out |

Happy Wednesday beautiful people!! Between moving, unpacking and figuring out life I've been pretty busy (in a good way). Super excited about finally living in the city and being a lot closer to all the action amongst planning and getting my social calendar together. Anyway, enough with my rambling... it's back to business per usual and I'm happy to share more images from my Summer Style Series photo-shoot. I'll call this one "Crop it Out" because after all what is summer without a crop top? Lol. See pictures from this Summer Style Series below:

WHAT I WORE: Vintage sunnies (gifted)/ White Bandeau Bralet by Miss.Guided/ Orange wide-legged pants by ZARA(old)/ Fringe heels by Aldo Shoes/  

If you know anything about my style, it's that I LOVEEEE a crop top. Why, you ask? It's easy, trendy, I feel uber sexy in it (only when my stomach/2-pack cooperates lol) and the mere face that it just goes with almost everything. I think a crop top makes my life easier, I'm not deciding for hours what I should wear, I just build my outfit around "the crop" and voila I have a outfit in less than a hour. My crop top collection includes-- short sleeves, long-sleeves and bralet ones like this that definitely shakes up my classic style. Crop top season has been upon for awhile now, and this summer style series wouldn't be complete with this look. I adore this outfit because it is definitely something I would wear when having lunch with my friends or heading to a day event. I think the vintage sunnies gives this look a very retro feel which I love and totally adds the right touch to it. I'm a minimalist when it comes to jewelry so I kept this one very simple. We have 2 more Summer Style Series left, can you believe summer will be over in a few weeks?! I'm NOT ready but totally can't wait for Fall :)

 

 

SUMMER STYLE SERIES: The Matrix ||

 

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend, mine was eventful of course lol. This whole transition of moving into the city on top of the million of other responsibilities I have has me SPIRALING but I'm happy the time has come if that makes any sense lol. Anyway, as promised here is another outfit from my Summer Style Series called "The Matrix" which I absolutely love and adore. Black and White will never go out of style and mixing prints/patterns like this is always so intriguing and beautiful. Check out the rest of this series below.

 

The movement in this dress is to die for. Super obsessed!

 

 

WHAT I WORE: Crew cutout Maxi Dress by Sachin & Babi/ Embellised clutch by ALDO (old)/'So Kate' Christian Louboutin heels/ Jewels (gifted)/  

 

If you can't tell by now...I loveeee cutout details on dresses, especially maxi dresses lol. I think this dress is perfect for an evening in the city ---it's fun, trendy and most importantly effortlessly speaks for itself. I have 3 more looks left in this Summer Style Series, stay tuned for next weeks outfit..I think you guys will love it! Can you believe Summer is about to be over?! Anyway, it's back to packing and my very long TO-DO list. Have an amazing Monday and beautiful week guys!!

Happy Friday beautiful people! Last week I told you about all the amazing opportunities that have been coming my way so I wanted to share the final images from the Urban Sweetheart photo-shoot that I styled almost 2 weeks ago. The photo-shoot was a creative collaboration of Sirdonea and I, we decided that Georgetown would be the perfect place to capture all of the outfits we put together. Check out a few images from the photo-shoot below:

 

SHOP THIS LOOK: Lillie Dress/ Jessica Purse (sold out) but find similar here/ Courtney Hat (Mocha)

Absolutely love this dress! It worked perfectly with the scenery...couldn't have asked for a better day!

SHOP THIS LOOK: In Bloom Top/ In Bloom Skirt/ Brooke Hat/ Autumn Heel/

How great is this two-piece outfit? The material is light and it definitely moves well in front of the camera. The hat was the perfect touch to this look!

 If you know me, then you know how much I loveeeee crop tops! How fun is this look? You can pair this outfit with high-heel sandals or a fashionable flat sandal (first picture).

I really adored this shift dress, it's fun and flirty as well as super comfortable.

 This last look was the perfect way to end the shoot, it was Summer cool and a great look for a day out in the city. Overall, it was a great shoot and I'm glad that our vision came to light, team work is EVERYTHING! I've added these pictures to my portfolio HERE! Stay tuned as I'll be dropping a very special announcement! In the mean time between time stay cool (it's a heat wave) and most importantly fabulous! Cheers to the weekend!
