If there’s something I’ll add to an all black ensemble, it’s an accessory that pops. I am OB.SESSED with this tassel necklace and let me tell you why.
I had been eyeing these necklaces for literally months on Instagram and could never choose my absolute favorite. Having the pleasure to meet the creative genius behind the brand Beaded by W, Whitney, I just had to know how she got started, where her inspiration came from and if she could help me pick a favorite :). I mean, seriously you guys, girl-fan on 100 over here, she’s only 19, and she’s a BOSS. Having just started designing jewelry for funsies her senior year of high school, she gave one of her necklaces to a friend, and while word got around school, the rest is history. Beaded By W is now in dozens of boutiques across the country with necklaces, bracelets, anklets, and pretty much every color combination you could possibly think of. BOSS.
Don’t believe me? Try and tell me you don’t love The Taft, The Topsey, The Ashby. I’m wearing The Marfa and if you’re like me and can’t choose, you’re in luck! I’ll be doing a giveaway later this week on Instagram for your chance to win and get your hands on one. XO

Draw-String Pant

Top: Gap
Pants: Banana Republic
Bag: Sole Society
Shoes: Target
Sunnies: Fossil
Bracelets: H&M

One of my favorite looks because I’ve been living in these pants and have received tons compliments on them. A nice change up from denim and still light enough to wear during summer days. Pairing them with my summer basics and a surprise gift from my sister, this vegan leather satchel (also love this one in white).
I’m always buying basics like the top pictured because you can never have too many (especially when you find one for $4.00!), and when it comes to basics you can dress them up with a blazer or dress them down for a day out. How do you like to wear your basics?

Striped

Don’t think theres such a thing as too many stripes. As I look through my wardrobe these days I’m beginning to see a huge pattern. Seems like every few years I change up my love of patterns, from plaid to polka dots and to stripes which have taken over… and I’m not even mad about it ;)! Tried on this jumpsuit at Forever 21 the other day but being 5’3 it’s hard to find the perfect length. Here are a few others that have been filling up my shopping cart lately…

 Super loves! -xo
