I threw on a pair of beautiful statement earrings to elevate my OOTD and carried an oversized Badgley Mischka satchel to (basically) carry my life, HA!  I'm like an asian Mary Poppins *grins* ANYWHO, I know I sound like a broken record and all but you guys need to check out Lorraine Tyne STAT!  Take advantage of their $10 blowout sale today.  FYI:  free shipping for US residents.

Influenster Vitality VoxBox Review

YAY!  Always love working with Influenster.  They always send me lots of goodies to review! Anywho, I was a big dumb-dumb and totally forgot to take a photo of my package.  I'll just have to use product pics instead.  I hope you guys don't mind!  Oh, and because I don't want to ramble on and on, I'll just be talking about the products I ADORE!  

1.  Elizabeth Arden Flawless Future Powered by Ceramide Caplet Serum ($60) - My first experience with Elizabeth Arden = bomb.  I absolutely loved trying this serum.  It had a beautiful finish, smooth and weightless.  It also did a great job hydrating my face and neck.  If you're looking for a new serum and don't mind investing in a "high-end" product, check this out!  

2.  Pure Leaf Tea - I'm definitely a big fan of their tea!  Mad tasty for sure.  Just gonna stop there because I don't know what else I can say about it, ha!  What kind of beverages do you guys enjoy? 

3.  Softlips Cube 5-in-1 Lip Care ($3.49) - My new favorite chapstick hands down!  Way better than EOS in my opinion.  Love the smell AND taste. It also hydrates like whoa.  Shea butter always does the job.  FYI: also protects lips from sun damage - SPF 15 FTW!  I own vanilla bean, but it's also available in pomegranate-blueberry and fresh mint.

The Sunflower Crop Top

Sigh, I'm so sad that summer's coming to an end.  I had so much fun wearing dinky crop tops and high-waisted minis.  I guess it's time to trade them in... or is it? *evil laughter* It's still warm out, so imma keep featuring summery looks, but I'm sure the layering will start in the not-so-distant future, ha!  Anywho, who here is a fan of sunflower prints?  I saw this adorable number on the OASAP site, and I just HAD to have it!  Clicky HERE if you need want to pick this top up for yourself...

I styled the top with a pair of high-waisted shorts.  I bought these from Forever 21 last summer, and I've been wearing them quite often.  They were actually pretty pricy, $20 or something?  HAHA don't judge me.  I think $20 shorts are expensive.  Anywho, I threw on this Deb cardi for coverage because I didn't want to bare too much skin!  I try to keep things tasteful unless I'm at the beach - then all bets are off, ha!  FYI:  Deb has a TON of awesome cardis available online.  I highly recommend browsing their collection HERE...

The Cut-out Shift Dress

YAY!  Excited to feature more Lorraine Tyne jewelry.  I'm obsessed with my new sequined necklace - it kinda has a tribal feel IMO - and statement earrings.  These don't come together as a set, but they sure as hell look good paired together. At least when everything else is neutral for the most part - my cream shift dress is a blank canvas that's begging for color!

Oh, and to keep things cohesive, I threw on a pair of neutral heels to match!  

BTW, don't you just love my new Badgley Mischka?  So here's what went down.  I went to Off Saks Fifth with my mom the other day, and they were having this ridiculous "buy 1 get 2 free" sale. I literally peed my pants and sprinted to the bag section, ha!  I found two beautiful Badgley Mischkas and a fab Rebecca Minkoff.   I saved $900+ since the total was only $300.  Hellz yeah.  That's why I'm the "sensible" stylista *pumps fist*  I was so proud of my buy!

The Ombre Bandage Dress

You're welcome.  Sorry, I'm just anticipating the thanks I'll get when I tell you about this RIDICULOUS bandage dress, HA!  But seriously, it's the SEXIEST dress I've ever worn in my life, and that's saying a lot.  There's just something about the way it fits.  It magically highlights your curves - curves that I don't naturally have FYI!  Heads up though, some of you may not like the off-shoulder design.  It constricts your movement a bit.  Also, the piece is on the shorter side!  No worries though because I have a solution.  Throw on black tights and black heels for a win-win situation.  You'll look like you have longer legs AND you'll feel more "conservative" covering yourself up a bit.  I'm on the shorter side, and it was hot as balls outside so I went sans tights.  Whatevs, I do what I want! #sorryimnotsorry 

Moving on, my earrings for today's post are balla.  Yeah, no -er on that one, just goin' with "balla", ha!  These babies are beyond fab.  Actually, let me revise that statement.  Lorraine Tyne is beyond fab!  Their jewelry is legit.  I'm so proud to be an advocate for their amazing boutique.  FYI:  they're having a HUGE blowout sale right now so hit them up STAT by clicking HERE.  Most of their Joan & Jesula pieces are on sale for $10 with free US shipping!  Doesn't get much better than that...

For today's OOTD, I featured a slew of new pieces for you guys.  My top's from AMI Clubwear, my skirt's from Spicy Avenue, and my bag's from Prima Donna - such awesome wardrobe additions.  The top's perfect for layering, and the lace detailing is beyond cute!  I paired it with my rose pencil skirt because the lace created a cohesive vibe.  

A closer look at my Prima Donna bag!  LOVE the zigzag print...

Julie Brown Designs

Business Casual FTW!  Today's look is totally work-friendly... at least in my opinion, ha!  This beautiful Julie Brown dress is stunning to say the least.  The material = high quality with a print that just won't quit.  The orange trim is also a lovely touch!  Bold pops of color always add character and personality.

The Fringe Kimono

I feel so asian sporting this fringe kimono, HA!  Ok, all jokes aside, I'm lovin' all my new swag.  I centered today's outfit around my new faux-leather skater skirt from Deb.  I'm a big fan of faux-leather, I'm not gonna lie - looks BAMF with anything.  It's a perfect way to play around with texture.

I paired the skirt with a fun cage crop (also from Deb).  I seriously can't recommend the top enough. I featured it way back in the day, but I still wear it often.  It's actually on sale HERE for only $5 so get on that STAT.  Also available in white, black and blue.

My kimono's from Charlotte Russe BTW!  They have a huge selection of different styles available so make sure to clicky HERE.  I guarantee that you'll find something that you absolutely LOVE.  Isn't the fringe totes adorable?  How do you guys feel about kimonos?  Are they a do or a dont?

The Cage Neckline

For today's post, I've styled a sexy look for a fun night out with frands!  A perfect OOTN for a Saturday night if you ask me - I'm biased though, hardy har har!  Anywho, when I saw this fab peplum top from Deb, I just KNEW I'd pair it with a sexy black mini.  Makeshift mini-dress FTW!  FYI:  this top is currently on sale at Deb for $12 (originally $24).  Yeah, they're not playing around - crazy deals for errbody.  Also available in purple.  YAYZORZ.  

Here's a full body shot for ya'll.  The black mini-skirt I have on is from Charlotte Russe.  The high-waist is mad flattering, and the stretchy cotton fabric is super comfy!  Plus, it only costs $10.  Yeah, you really can't go wrong with this solid basic.

Since the top has a fierce cage front, I kept errthang simple.  I threw on a pair of edgy statement earrings and grabbed a studded clutch!  No necklace or belt for bling - didn't wanna look like a disco ball, ha.
