Throwback Thursday – Stan Smith

Happy Thursday! Sorry for not posting yesterday, but sometimes since I started using WordPress there are updates that then in turn do something to your actual webpage. The last time this happened I was on the phone with the company that hosts this page for over 4 hours to try and figure out why it wasn’t loading. Thankfully everything now is taken care of and I can now post! There are more and more trends that are popping up that are becoming classic staples in everyone’s wardrobe. The Stan Smith sneaker by Adidas is no exception. In the past few years there has been an almost cult following of the Adidas Stan Smith sneaker. Everyone loves a great pair of white sneakers, but they don’t want to spend an arm and a leg on them. Stan Smith sneakers are relatively priced under $100. Even if you customize a pair on their website unless you select one of their exotic skins the max you will pay for a custom pair should be around $150. They now even come in a variety of colors other than solid white. I personally wanted the heel of my shoe to be black vs the traditional green because I just like the look of it better. If you are looking for a great pair of white sneakers to end the Summer get a pair of Stan Smith’s. Click here on the Adidas link to see their vast selection of styles. FUN FACT! If you are like me and have small feet (I am a 6.5 in women’s) you could probably fit in the children’s shoes, but in the larger sizes. I have done that before for the Nike Dunk sneakers in the past since the kids shoes always had really cute designs. Hope everyone has a great rest of their Thursday! <3

Summer White Top

It’s finally Thursday which means one more day until the weekend! Unless some of us took off this entire week due to the holiday. Last summer I was on the hunt for the perfect white top. The problem with a white top especially during summer is even though we all don’t want to admit it, but we sweat. In New York City it gets unbearably hot during the summer and I know that I am not the only one that sometimes takes two showers a day because of the heat. Since it gets so hot its almost impossible to find a white top that doesn’t show that you are sweating through it. I found this top at Bloomingdales on their sale rack with no label just a price tag on it.  Crazy I know that it didn’t have a label but for $25 it was exactly what I was looking for. When looking for a summer white top try to find something that is breathable, but not sheer. This top with its tiered layers and detailing with also the layer of what feels like silk, but I am sure isn’t shows all the amazing details of the top without any sweat marks. I love how it is short enough to look like it is a crop top, but long enough that it covers my entire stomach. When on your hunt for the perfect white top take a picture with the flash on outside the dressing room. I say this because it is a fact that dressing rooms have different lighting and mirrors than what we have at home. Also we have seen it too many times happen to celebrities on red carpets where all the sudden their clothes are now see through. YIKES! If you are like me you don’t mind wearing a strapless bra even during the summer. My other suggestion is to bring or wear a strapless bra when you are out shopping because the last thing you want is to buy a top thinking that it can be worn with a strapless bra and then it doesn’t work once you try it all on at home. Then you will have to go all the way back to the store to return the top or you will just let it sit in your closet forever… If you haven’t already check out some of the major department stores this week. Some of them are still having major sales due to July 4th being on Tuesday. Hope everyone has a great day <3

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend! I don’t know about you but I am counting down the days until Thanksgiving. There has always been a stigma when it comes to wearing white during winter. I know you can’t wear white pants after Labor Day (even though I do because it is appropriate to in Miami), but does that go for everything? I say no. This white lace top from Joie is one of my favorite go to tops for the holiday season. I pair it with a white Wolford bodysuit underneath it and it looks amazing. I have seen other people wear it without a tank or anything underneath, but if you are like me and don’t want to show too much skin, especially with it being so cold out, this is the next best solution. I also like it because with a normal tank if you tuck it in you still see the shirt in your jeans and you want a tank that lays flat under the lace top. If you couldn’t already tell from today and yesterday’s post, I am a bit of a bodysuit fanatic. It just makes your outfit look more put together and it allows everything to just lay better. If you are looking for a lace top this holiday season I recently went to Bloomingdales and they have a large selection in all different price ranges. If you aren’t sure if you could pull off an all lace top and don’t like the idea of a bodysuit that is okay! There are tons of other top options that have lace detailing and are still super cute for this holiday season. For me, with these tops, I always go a size up because I like a lace top to lay loose on me vs skin tight, but that is completely up to you. It also depends on what kind of look you are trying to achieve. With this look, I was trying to achieve a relaxed look and something that is comfortable and simple. Hope everyone had a great weekend <3
