Designer Bottega Bag - Looks for less






            Ξ²ottega veneta bags have been trending for a while now and just like most trending pieces, we can now find inspired styles and dupes of the bag in high street retail stores and on Amazon. Some dupe versions are so close in style that it's hard to tell from a distance if it's real or dupe and others have been manufactured  with little alterations to the original version of the bag. If you are interested in snagging an inspired version of this bag for yourself, check out the selections below.

Smocked, tiered and a crop top

 


       ΰ€½ummer is a time to wear easy, breezy dresses like this tiered, smocked embroidered dress that I  have had in my closet for a long time. I purchased it from a friend years ago that had a small clothing/accessories business. You can always find dresses like this in the stores in the summer time and they have been trending somewhat along with baby doll dresses this summer thanks to H&M. The dress is a strapless dress and since I needed some cover on my shoulders, I threw a small crop top over it. My tan color pouch bag and square toed mules completed the look. Summer is almost over as we know so this brown color is suitable for this sunny weather that is gradually coming to an end. What do you think of the baby doll and tiered dress trend? Please, do not stop in your support of small businesses and black and brown owned businesses. Stay home, stay safe and stop the spread..

Fall Fashion Inspiration: Brown Tones

 



       δΈ…he color palette this Fall is; "Shades of brown" and if you need a little inspiration on how to style this hue for the season, look no further. This posts features a monochromatic look which is the best way to style this beautiful fall color. Whenever, I put monochrome looks together, I always think of textures in the outfit in addition to the different shades of color. The different textures in a monochromatic outfit results in a stylish and interesting look. In the above collage, all the pieces are designer splurge pieces and the collage/set is mainly for styling inspiration. If you have been reading this blog for a long time, you'll know by now that I always advocate for affordable and sustainable fashion. So, as you style a similar outfit like this, just think quality pieces, different shades of brown and different textures of fabric and accessories; leather, silk, wool, suede....happy styling 😍

All white Outfit for labor day and beyond.







     αŽ―n all white outfit is a winner any day and any season and since the "no wearing of white after labor day rule" has been thrown out the door a long time ago, my choice of outfit for labor day this year and beyond is an all-white outfit. I have had this Boohoo Dress for a while now and I love how easy it is to wear and also love the puffy sleeves. I styled the dress with white pumps and a straw clutch and a pair of earrings from Jcrew. I love that this outfit is simple and yet a bit sophisticated enough to wear to any socially distant event like a birthday party. I wouldn't wear this white dress to a wedding unless I'm wearing it in a different color because you never want to compete with the bride in white. I love that Boohoo dresses are affordable and come in a variety of colors. However, I think they need to step up the quality of their pieces because it's not that great. If you are looking for something quick and easy to wear that is also affordable and trendy, then you can check out site. Thanks so much for reading.

Bottega Veneta Quilted Square-toed Sandals Dupes






          𐍄he Bottega veneta  square toed sandals made a huge impression on me the first time I set my eyes on them and to say that I like this square-toed quilted high heeled sandals, is an understatement because I really love them. When I realized that the steep prices of the original Bottega Veneta Shoes was not practicable, I resorted to searching on-line for any inspired design/dupes which were selling out every where at the high street stores. I finally traced them down to a few reputable on-line stores like Lulus  and Ego Shoes, an on-line shoe store in the UK. I know that this trend might not be here for a long time as all trendy pieces go out of style before we know it but if you want to try out the trend including other inspired square-toed sandals without splurging, check out the multiple colors and selections in the links below.

Doing Summer in my Green Dress

 





     α‹™ow is everyone doing? I hope we are all strong, healthy and still keeping up with our Covid sanitation. I just wanted to pop in here real quick to show this green dress I wore the other day; actually an old piece from my closet. The way I transform old pieces in my closet is by adding fresh accessories which I did with this beautiful straw bag I thrifted years ago and my tan color pointed toe mules and bright yellow earrings. I wore this dress to lounge around in the house with a pair of short shorts underneath because it is a very mini dress 😁 If we were going out, I would wear this dress to a backyard BBQ or to go on a lunch date with my friends or family. What do you think of the color green? Is this a color you would wear? Thanks so much for stopping by here.

Pink puffy sleeve dress: My favorite Summer trend

 



     Ξ€his pink puffy sleeve dress was on my wish list for Mother's day this year and I'm really glad I was able to get it considering the fact that it was in huge demand at all HM locations and quickly sold out. The puffy sleeve which is my favorite summer trend by the way and the pink bold color and free flowing style of this dress just makes it the perfect lounging piece to wear and just lounge at home over the weekend. I styled the dress with my dark pink beaded earrings from Jcrew and multi color sandals from DSW. The straw bag which I have had for a while completed the look. I look forward to styling this piece again in the fall. Thanks so much for visiting.

National thrift shop day: Four reasons why I thrift

 


         π‚eal fashion or style cannot fully be achieved without a mix of high and low pieces and this is the main reason, the very reason why every one should consider thrifting or consignment shopping followed by sustaining and protecting the earth. Even high end designers and stylists do thrifting or flea market shopping or vintage shopping or consignment shopping. Whatever you decide to call it, or how you decide to do it does not matter; it is just important that you consider it. These days, you do not have to go to a physical store like Goodwill to thrift as there are so many thrift stores online like Thred - Up, Porshmark or the The Real Real. Today is "National thrifting day" and I would love to share with you the four reasons why I thrift.
