Lookbook: Accessorizing for Spring


Sunny Days
Spring is the perfect time to add loads of color in your wardrobe. Keep your spring days bright with this oh so yellow ruffle fit and flare dress from 1901. Obsessing over this super cute Micheal Kors pineapple bag and Gucci pineapple sunglasses. Rep your bey-hive love with these Kate Spade bee earrings that make me smile whenever I look at them. If your like me, you like your phone case to fit with your mood or outfit, loving this Soinx Bora Bora iPhone X case, it make me dream of a tropical vacay.  

Desert Chic
I absolutely love this off-the-shoulder maxi dress from Glamorous, its so airy and gives me chic desert explorer vibes 😂. I accessorized this dress with the must have Gucci Marmont mini bag, Stella McCartney chain detail square sunglasses and the Jeffery Campbell Despina sandals in the color taupe. I love unique and quirky earrings, the Faris Estra earrings look like blossoming flowers and my pineapple obsession peaks out with these Alexis Bittar pineapple earrings. 


Fruity Tootie 
When I found these incredible fruit themed accessories I knew I had to build a outfit around them. The accessories give me picnic vibes, so I knew I needed a gingham print dress, this fit and flare style dress from 1901 did the trick. I adore these cute Jessica Simpson watermelon slide sandals, they scream spring|summer. The Kade Spade strawberry earrings, Sonix strawberry iPhone X case, and the super cute Michael Kors watermelon straw bag all have my heart. Also obsessing over these Kate Spade accessories, the strawberry basket bag, card holder and coin purse are so extra, they make me so happy. 


Flower Meadow
Spring time is also a great time to rock all things pastel colored.  I'm loving this Dee Elly knotted waist midi dress in a beautiful lilac color. The dress pairs so well with the Ted Baker London Skalett pumps, the Pop & Suki box bag or the drool worthy Valentino Matelasse rockstud bag with the iridescent studs (i'm currently obsessed with all things iridescent 😍). I literally picked this Jo Malone fragrance because of the way the bottle looks, I'm a sucker for cute packing, plus you can't go wrong with a cherry blossom scent for sping.

Spring Essentials


Tomorrow is the first day of Spring! To prep for the new season I picked some must have Spring essentials that will make the sunny days ahead so much sweeter. 

Statement Earrings
Spring is the perfect time for unique statement earrings. I'm loving the colorfulness of the Loren Hope Olivia earrings. You can't go wrong with tassels earrings, these Bauble Bar Sonatina earrings are so chic and playful. The Jenny Bird rain drop earrings are so unique and cool everyone will want to know where you got them. I'm still obsessed with pineapple, so the Eye Candy LA pineapple earrings make my heart sing.  


Transparent Accessories
I've officially joined the transparent everything trend club, I'm especially loving transparent accessories. The BP. mini translucent bag is a simple and inexpensive way to rock the transparent trend. If you feel like splurging the Valentino transparent Rockstud is a epic route to take. I'm loving these Steve Madden Alice flats, they are a easy and subtle way integrate this trend in your look. These Shein lace up zipper boots are just so cute you can't pass them up. 

Stripes
I think stripes are a basic must have for spring. I'm loving the colors in the BP. stripe jumpsuit it looks so comfy. You can't go wrong with a striped dress, this 1901 striped knit dress can be worn on any occasion. The Moon River stripped peplum top is so perfect to wear on a warm spring day. I'm loving all things jumpsuits, this J. Crew striped halter jumpsuit looks like it would be faltering on any body types. 



Flower Power
Spring time is flower time! Wearing florals is the easiest way celebrate the beginning of spring. I'm loving this Everly ruffle wrap maxi dress, Spring/Summer time is the best time to rock maxi dresses, especially as the weather gets hotter. The Coach 1941 Rogue 25 floral bow bag is a easy way to incorporate florals in your wardrobe without having to buy new clothes. An even easier way to incorporate florals is with a new Spring scent, I'm loving the bottle of the iconic Marc Jacobs Daisy eau de toilette, it seems like the perfect Spring scent. I'm also loving this Equipment floral print silk shirt, it can easily be paired with a pair of jeans or chinos. 



Denim Basics
Denim is a year around basic, but spring is a great time to rock light wash denim, denim skirts and overalls. I'm loving this Madewell denim jacket, I like the distressed sleeves and it looks light weight enough to wear on a beautiful spring day. You can't go wrong with a pair of high waisted boyfriend jeans, loving the wash and style of these jeans they would look so good with a pair of classic Vans. I'm so happy that overalls are back in style, the City Chic distressed overalls look so comfortable and easy to wear. I love a cute denim skirt, I've been really loving denim skirts that buttons up in the front, it puts a sexy twist on a classic piece. 



Pops of color
Spring is a great time to add pops of color to your wardrobe. If your adverse to wearing bright colors like myself, incorporating colorful accessories can do the trick. I've always loved the Givenchy Antigona, I think its a basic bag that all handbag lovers should have in their collection. I love the idea of a yellow or bright pink Antigona, the bag has my heart. I'm also loving this bright orange Sophie Hulme swing bag, it looks like it can hold all your essentials in style. Loving these Topshop Renee pom pom sandals, the lilac color would pair so well with the Topshop boyfriend jeans or the Everly floral maxi dress that I mention before. The Rosetta Getty satin blouse is a beautiful pop of green, it pair well with a pair of distressed jeans and the Sophie Hulme orange bag, it would be such a colorful fun outfit.  



Sunshine accessories
Sunny days are upon us 😎,to protect yourself from the suns rays I'm loving the SunnySide LA Oxford sunglasses with the beautiful gold frame and orange lens. I love that slogan sun hats are still in style, I'm loving this Nordstrom brand wordplay floppy hat that says "out of the office". I'm super excited go sandal shopping, Target always has amazing styles to pick from. These Universal Threads Agnes espadrille sandals are beautiful in this sunshine yellow color. Spring is also a great time to rock unique and fun bags, this Nordstrom brand circular tote is a perfect beach bag or picnic bag that will make you smile every time you look at it. 



Classic sneakers
Spring time is sneaker time, I've been obsessing lately with building my classic sneaker collection. I am head over heels in love with my Old Skool Vans, they are the most comfortable sneakers I own. They literally go with everything and are must haves in your wardrobe. I'm also loving all things Converse, the classic Chucks are basics that will get you through all the seasons. I love the classic silhouette of the Adidas Superstars, like the Vans I think they can go with almost everything your rocking, plus I love a good pair of white sneaker for the spring.

February Favorites


February is one of my favorite months of the year! Here are the things that made the month for me so good.

Movies and Music 
Call My By Your Name Motion Picture Soundtrack
Call Me My Your Name was one of my favorite movies last year. As I watched the movie I couldn't help by remember feeling the same way as Elio did about a crush. The music in the movie only added to my love for it. The original songs by Sufjan Stevens are all so perfect. I've played Visions of Gideon on repeat for weeks now, I also love Mystery of Love (which is nominated for a Oscar!) and Futile Devices.

Kendrick Lamar - Black Panther The Album
When I learned Kendrick Lamar was releasing a Black Panther album it increased my hype for the movie so much more. My favorite songs from the album are All The Stars, Opps, Paramedic!, King's Dead and Pray For Me.

Rhye - Blood
Rhye's second studio album comes after there amazing 2013 debut album, Woman. Rhye makes the ultimate mood music thats so sonically pleasing. I was super exited when their new album dropped, my favorite songs from the album are Waste, Taste, Count To Five, Softy and Phoenix.

The Greatest Showman Motion Picture Soundtrack
I was not the biggest fan of the Greatest Showman as a movie but I did absolutely loved the music!
I like so many others have obsessively listened to the soundtrack of this movie over and over again. The songwriters Pasek and Paul created songs that are so uplifting and catchy. You can't help but smile as you listen to each song . My absolute favorite tracks are A Million Dreams, Never Enough, and From Now On.

The Post
I almost didn't watch the Post, but thank goodness I did! The Post has all the elements we love about Spielberg. The all star cast from both film and television, the amazing directing, and my personal fav the visionary camera work and cinematography made the movie lover in me swoon. Meryl Streep is her usual amazing self she gives a master class on nuanced yet powerful acting. You can never go wrong with Tom Hanks, I like calling Streep, Hanks and Spielberg the "holy trinity", nothing can go wrong when those three are working together. As I watched the movie I could not help but feel how timely this movie is, there are so many parallels to this movie to our current political climate. Hopefully the lessons learned from this era will help us in the present day.

Black Panther
I've been highly anticipating Black Panther since I first saw him in Captain America Civil War. Before that I'll have to admit that I knew nothing about Black Panther. But it's crazy how you never knew you needed something so much until you have it, Black Panther was the superhero that we never knew that we needed. I loved every aspect of the movie but I really loved all the different relationships. I really liked the relationship between T'Challa and his sister Shuri it reminded me of my own relationship with brother. I loved T'Challa's interaction with the Dora Milaje, it was so satisfy seeing such strong badass black women. I also really loved T'Challa relationship with Nakia, usually the love interest in these types of movies is usually so desperate and unlikeable. But I thought, Lupita Nyong'o who played Nakia, acted so graceful and had her own wants and desires that were outside the realm of needing a man. Killmonger was one of the best Marvel villains ever, he had depth and legitimate reasons for a lot of his actions. I felt that were so many details to his character that spoke to the black American experience as a whole. I left the theater after watching Black Panther full of pride and happiness. Believe the hype and run don't walk to watch Black Panther now! #Wakandaforever 🙅🏿‍♀️
