friday find: velvet love (crossbody)

{Rebecca Minkoff Small Love Crossbody}

You are going to see velvet everywhere for fall and I am so happy about it because I love love love velvet.  I want everything, from velvet leggings to velvet jumpsuits to velvet shoes to velvet hats.  I mean it, I want velvet everything.  If you're hesitating about this trend, the best way to ease into it is with an accessory.  I give you this beautiful Rebecca Minkoff Love Crossbody in blue velvet.  It could work for an evening out, work, or casually with jeans and a tee (which would be my preference because then the velvet would pop!).  See my blog post here where I paired a (similar coloured) velvet top with denim. 

Happy shopping!

friday find: pearls

{Free People Pearl Crop Straight Leg Jeans}

Happy Friday!  I was in Florida this past week visiting Orlando, Palm Beach and Miami!  It was such a great trip, especially Palm Beach, a place I've never been to.  I am already booking our next trip!  I tried taking pictures of my outfits but I was dying in the heat (I don't know how bloggers do it and look so chic and not sweaty ha!) so unfortunately I won't have those to show you, but I will wear those outfits in the near future I'm sure and will post them soon.  Anyway, today's find is something I found while shopping in Disney Springs: these amazing Free People Pearl Crop Straight Leg Jeans.  They are full length on me, but fit great.  I love embellishments on denim.  They make wearing a pair of jeans that much more fun!  Plus, they look fancy but you don't feel fancy (i.e., uncomfortable).  I preferred the fit of these Free People straight-leg jeans, but Anthropologie also makes a similar pair of jeans embellished with pearls in a relaxed boyfriend fit.

Happy shopping!

friday find: a little flare

 {Citizens of Humanity Drew High-Rise Cropped Flare Jeans, also in black here}

Happy Friday!  Today's Friday find has a little flare.  I keep seeing cropped flare jeans everywhere so it's safe to say they'll be a big trend for fall.  I love these Citizens of Humanity Drew High-Rise Cropped Flare Jeans.  I love how the back hem is higher which makes these flare jeans unique.  They're a great colour too, not too light and not too dark.  I was eyeing these Paige Rafaela Mid-Rise Skinny Cropped Ruffle Petite Jeans since I'm petite, but they've sold out rather quickly.  Only a few sizes left!  Shopbop carries them in regular sizes here.  For a more budget-friendlier pair, these Blank Denim Trumpet Flare Jeans are under $100!

friday find

{Steven Razzi Mules}

Happy Friday!  Today's find are these beautiful Jacquard mules by Steven.  Mules are still a trend and they're the perfect transition shoe from one season to the next (ok, maybe not winter in most areas).  You can find mules in pretty much every colour, print and price point.  I love these Steven mules because I'm a sucker for anything denim, floral print and they're a steal at $99!

friday find

 {ZARA Multi-Position Shirt}

Happy Friday!  Hope everyone is having a great summer so far!  I've taken some (er, a lot) of time off for the transition of our move to Greenville, SC (a city I had only been to twice before we moved!).  We've been having fun exploring the city.  But I spent most of the time unpacking.  It took two weeks before I even started unpacking and organizing my closet!  So let's just say I wore basically the same thing every day.  It's been fun decorating our new house and I'll be sharing some of my finds on the blog shortly!  I probably did not even look at clothes online for a couple of weeks (anytime I was online I was shopping for the house), but I started getting the fashion bug last week.  So we took a trip to Charlotte, which is only an hour and a half away, which I'm so excited about.  There's a Free People (yay!), Nordstrom (I can shop the Anniversary Sale, which starts today, in person!), Madewell, Neiman Marcus, Urban Outfitters, etc.!

Anyway, I've missed blogging and this 'Friday find' (which is something I'm going to continue going forward) was something I had to blog about.  How cool is this ZARA Multi-Position Shirt?  It's a long-sleeved shirt with buttoned cuffs, which turns into a cool sleeveless shirt with spaghetti straps!  It could also be worn as an off-the-shoulder shirt!  A steal for under $50.

seeing stars

Seeing stars, everywhere.  You can either go small and subtle (my pick are these AH-mazing Saint Laurent Rock Suede & Leather Boots, top, or this Marc Jacobs Star Patchwork Small Saddle Bag, which also comes in white), or even smaller with a clutch, choker or ring.  Or go big and bold (I've been eyeing this Wildfox Lennon Seeing Stars Sweater, bottom left, forever now and this Free People Lone Star Denim Jacket has a big star patch on the back!)  These Stella McCartney Star Print Skinny Jeans (middle, also in a boyfriend jean here and kick jean here) have stars allover, but you can even go bolder with these After Party by Nasty Gal Star-Crossed High Waisted Jeans (top left).  Next on my list are a pair of Golden Goose Mid Star Sneakers.  They look SO comfy!

leopard is the new neutral

Leopard print is now considered a neutral and being paired with almost anything.  Normally I would pair these flats with a solid top and let them stand out, but I thought I would try the "trend" and not only paired them with stripes, but a little bit of floral.  

{Anthropologie Fleur Trimmed Henley; jeans: Guess by Marciano (old, similar);

GAP Animal Print Ballet Flats; sweater: James Perse (old, never worn!); bracelets: H&M}

I've always loved leopard print.  When it's a "trend", I think, "But isn't it always?"  I still have my first ever leopard print pumps (with pink trim!) that I bought from Aldo years and years ago.  (I also bought the matching bag, seen here).  I would love to wear them, but I just don't do 4"+ heels anymore.  Unless it's for a wedding or something.  So I've been searching for a pair of leopard print flats for a while, but couldn't settle on a pair until I saw these.  I love the fact that they're a mix between a leopard print and, my other favourite print, polka dots.  They're super comfortable and, for the price, they're a steal!
