The Closet Warrior: styling

Showing posts with label styling. Show all posts

Laying at the beach or hanging out by the pool is a summer must. There are so many beach/summer trends that can keep your water side look fresh enough that you'll want to wear them all day. Don't be afraid to express your personal style by the water. This summer take your beachy ways further than the sand so that you can stretch out that summer look all day long, especially for lunch after a long day of soaking in the sun.

Beach look one by kayladoop featuring river island

Wildfox Couture / Topshop swim suit / River Island , $24 / Dorothy Perkins / Adia Kibur gold jewelry / Karen Walker

ALL BLACK ERR'THANG. Black and gold is a trend that I can't get off my mind on or off of the beach. This simple yet retro black bikini is so classic and sexy. I can't think of anything better to throw over it than an oversized summer words graphic by Wildfox. The perfect way to top off this chic waterside look is chunky tortoise shell shades (like these classic Karen Walker's), a pair of studded jelly sandals, and chunky gold CHAINNNNN *in 2 Chainz voice*. Just add a top knot - and done.

Beach look four by kayladoop featuring brown shoes

White dress, $30 / Hot Anatomy bandeau top, $97 / River Island brown shoes, $60 / Linda Farrow Luxe round glasses / Cult Gaia daisy headband

This boho look is perfect for a free spirit! Throw this flower crown over your salt water waves and layer this crotchet dress over your fringe bikini for a look that can go further than the beach. Don't forget some brown sunnies and Minnetonka fringe sandals!

beach look three by kayladoop featuring adjustable hats

Filles A Papa neon one piece swimsuit, $240 / Accessorize sparkle flip flops / Dimepiece adjustable hat / Short sleeve t shirt

Bring out your inner bad girl with an edgy fun beach look. This graphic one piece is a bit of a splurge but you can find great graphic swimsuits at Black Milk Clothing and at Miss Guided. A black mesh t-shirt is the perfect cover up and this leopard print five panel hat by Dimepiece can tame that beachy mane and keep your nose from getting burnt.

Beach look two by kayladoop featuring bow sandals

Pieces low back cocktail dress, $32 / Topshop high waisted bathing suit / Colors Of California bow sandals, $41 / Stretch headband / Heart sunglasses

Nothing says fun and flirty like a retro two-piece, heart shaped sunnies, and a printed fashion turband. A low back jersey dress and some jelly sandals keep this look fresh enough to leave the sand and explore the land.

Since the Coachella weekends have come to an end I decided to share some of my favorite Coachella looks I stumbled upon online. All these looks just make me more anxious than I already am for warm weather. I just have to keep telling myself "a couple more weeks."

I would love Katy Perry's D&G look but I can't help but think Iggy Azalea wore it way better in her "Work" video, oops, sorry, but Iggy is my girl!

I haven't blogged in well...a fucking while. I apologize to anyone who may religiously follow my blog and who was disappointed when I basically fell off the face of the blogspot planet. The weather here in New England has been really awful. Lots of cold and lots of snow and it had really put me into a fashion slump and I wasn't feeling inspired AT ALL. Now that the weather is getting a little bit warmer (slowly but surely) I think I need to get back on track with this thing. I read a couple articles on arranging your room to feel like/look like a boutique so that getting dressed feels like shopping rather than an obstacle of trying to figure out what to wear. I guess the fact that my room currently looks like the piles of clothes at the Garmet District really isn't helping. I am getting anxious for the real spring weather to FINALLY arrive so that I can do my spring cleaning and spring closet transition and keep myself motivated and inspired.

Decided I would share my outfit of the day with you today and a crazy find I came across after class today when I popped into Urban Outfitters. I saw the sales lady putting a pair of Unif Hellbounds on the sale shelf and picked them up to check out the sale price out of curiousity. I think I almost cried when the price said $19.99. I immediately asked her if they were REALLY $19.99 and if there was a reason why. She basically just told me shit gets priced really low when it gets returned from online. They were a size 8 I am normally a 7 but they fit fine with socks. I guess I wasn't in the market for a pair of giant obnoxious leopard print platforms but $250 shoes for $19.99, I couldn't say no!

Today is my 22nd Birthday. I spent the day with my mother and sister in Providence and now I have to quickly get ready for a night out with my girlies! I am very excited for the rest of the night and the weekend. I will forever obsess over Birthdays until I die, there's no reason NOT to celebrate life!
