everything i’m wearing today is old — like years old — with the exception of this new cotton vest from Society of LES. the lovelies over there sent it to me AND are offering all of you 15% off by using the discount code: SOL15 plus free shipping both ways, when you purchase in their online store. i lived in this all weekend and love the way its adds an effortless chic look to whatever i’m wearing! xoxo.

i am probably the worst shopper ever - i hate trying things on (i mean, have you ever tried waiting in Forever 21’s dressing room line? that can make a girl go wild). prime example: this tank. i envisioned it as more of a tight bustier top but turns out, it’s super loose and cropped. i kind of love it though. i’m finding as i get older i’ve become much more modest and looking back, probably wouldn’t have worn this much in summer with lower bottoms if it was tight. anyways, at least i shop at places where a wrong purchase doesn’t break the bank, right?
i’m excited to be attending Warby Parker’s preview event tomorrow that i just couldn’t wait another day to tell you! i’ve been obsessed with them for sooo long and have a pair i adore. i love their business philosophy but even more, that they make chic glasses accessible in an over-priced market. stay tuned! xoxo.

to say i was in bauble heaven last night is a bit of an understatement. i attended a Charming Charlie preview event in soho and i’ll admit, i wasn’t super familiar with the brand but i immediately fell in love and you will too. so as you’ll see above, i freaked out a bit and am literally bejeweled all over in Charming Charlie; in addition, below are some of my other favorites from the event. now that you’re visually in love, let me make you financially so - Charming Charlie’s items range from $5 to $50 and most of what you see is wayyyy less than that!!!
i’ve seriously been craving more statement necklaces and my go-to affordable shops haven’t had anything i’ve liked of late. this is one of those brands that comes along and reminds me that anyone, even those of us with a tight budget, really don’t have restrictions when it comes to fashion. thanks to cc for the invite and introducing me to my new favorite brand. xoxo.
