Find of the day: The Quilted Handbag ($12.50)

Yay! It's time for another "Find of the Day".  I'm super excited to tell you guys about today's FOTD because it's especially cute.  I don't really feature bags in this series because I like investing in designer purses - a smart shopper knows when to save and when to splurge IMO! Personally, I don't usually like cutting corners when it comes to bags.

Sooo basically, today's pick is BAMF.  It's currently on sale for $12.50 at Amiclubwear (originally $24.99) - use code BFF50 for an extra 50% off.  It's made of faux leather - real leather's always hella expensive - but the quality's surprisingly good.  FYI: The chain shoulder strap works as a crossbody.

Measurements: 2" D, 10" W, 6.5" H

Perfect for: ALL occasions - versatility FTW

Color: Cream, matches any & everything

Quality comparable to: Banana Republic

Also available in:  red & black

Vibe:  classy & sophisticated

Inspired by:  Chanel

I hope you guys enjoyed today's FOTD! Let me know if you have any questions below. I own this piece in cream, but I'm assuming black and red are equally cute.  Also, make sure you guys enter my international giveaway with Polette to win sunnies of your choice HERE.

Find of the day: The Sexy Two-Piece ($25)

Super excited to share today's FOTD with you guys!  This stunning two-piece (originally $49.99) is currently on sale for $25 at AMICLUBWEAR - use code BFF50 for an extra 50% off.  This dress is on point IMO.  It has scalloped eyelet trim, a netted overlay design, and a nude slip.  The model below is showing quite a lot of skin, but the two-piece is far less "risqué" on me.  I don't know why though - maybe cause she's thinner? *shrugs* 

Anywho, I'll be "modeling" this piece soon on SS so y'all will see firsthand that the two-piece actually only reveals a sliver of skin.  Without further ado, let's talk about deets.

Material: 100% polyester

Wearing size: small

Perfect for:  parties, GNO, clubbing

Quality comparable to:  Charlotte Russe & Forever 21

Vibe:  sexy as hell

You'll be: breakin' necks all night long

 A back shot for you guys!  How do y'all feel about two-piece sets? Are they a do or a don't?

Look for Less: Beach Bunny Swimwear

Alrighty y'all, summer's comin' and that means it's time for sexy @$$ swimwear.  I've always been a huge fan of Beach Bunny swimwear, and I thought it'd be fun to find a fab alternative for you guys.  The first two shots are from the BB website.  Love, love, LOVE the lace trim - super sexy and flattering for sure.  For those of you who want to save some cash but get the same look, keep scrollin'.

Freakin' adorable but $200+? *sniffle* FYI: you can browse their collection here if you'd like.For $23.64, you can get a totally adorable L4L at +AMI Clubwear.  I own the bikini pictured below & also have a purple lace two-piece from Beach Bunny.  They honestly pretty much look the same except my look for less has a pucker back bottom.

Also available in three other colors:  red, pink, and fuschia.

What do you guys think of my L4L - yah or nah? Let me know if you'd like me to find an affordable alternative for you!

Look for Less: Christian Dior Quilted Cap Toe Heels

Lusting for these sexy Christian Dior cap toe pumps but don't want to dish out $725? Yeah, I'm just gonna go ahead and say "you're welcome" in advance because I found you guys a KILLER look for less.  Before we talk about my very "sensible" (hardy har har) alternative, let's examine these heels. They're black (obvi), 4" high, and made of quilted leather. Now, these babies are totes sold out online, but if you'd like to drool over more pics, clicky here.

Now, let's move onto exhibit B.  These equally sexy heels are available at +AMI Clubwear for $20.34 (!!!!) I own these shoes personally so I vouch for these loves (again, obvi).  These kicks literally look IDENTICAL to the Christian Dior's pictured above, minus the leather.  The faux-leather is on point though - you'll be PLEASANTLY surprised with the quality.  I promise you'll adore these heels - perfect for day AND night, work AND play, so on and so worth.  Basically they're awesome, and you'll wear them all the time.

Bluetique

Dreamin' of summer in my new Bluetique denim dress.  Unfortunately, this piece is no longer available, but no worries cause they carry a ton of other amazing thangs - clicky HERE to get your browse on.  Oh, and they offer free shipping for purchases $50+.  ANYWHO, I kept things simple for today's OOTD - channeling my inner minimalist, haha.  Hashtag steeze (style + ease) FTW!

A closer look at my dress!  I freakin' love Bluetique.  Let's talk about them for a second!  BT originated in Lexington, KY in 2011 to offer fun and affordable clothing to those livin' in the area.  With their booming success, they eventually expanded to Virginia, Ohio, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Indiana.  Yeah, I'm not playin' around when I say they know fashion.  Hit them up STAT!

I seriously heart my hot new shoes courtesy of +AMI Clubwear.  4.5 inch heels ain't no thang!  I can't believe these babies are that high - they're THAT comfortable.  I can't recommend these enough.  The lace-up tie design is beyond chic!  Trust me when I saw you want to purchase these STAT.  On sale for $21.59.

I'm Not Alone

Way back in the day, I featured a FAB military jacket courtesy of Others Follow.  Well, we're revisiting that piece today on SS because I like it and it's MY blog, haha!  In all seriousness though, remixing skillfully is necessary skill.  For today's look, I styled my OF jacket with a striped tunic and over-the-knee boots.  I wore suede shoes to contrast with my faux-leather sleeves - y'all know that juxtaposition's where it's at!

Here's a full body shot for y'all.  I freakin' love over-the-knee boots.  I actually went all out recently and bought a pair from +Stuart Weitzman.  Crazy expensive, but I had a $500 gift card so it was alright.  The difference was like, $150 or so?  Still steep but worth it.  I don't normally buy designer shoes, but I thought I'd treat myself because I've been working crazy hard this semester.  Hey, a girl's gotta splurge every once in a while, right? *smiles*

My top sans jacket!  I featured it HERE as a "find of the day".  Currently on sale for $25.99 (originally $31) + free shipping!  Totes worth it.  Every girl needs a fab striped top - a wardrobe must-have for sure.

Jacket:  c/o Others Follow

Tunic:  c/o Bikini Luxe ($25.99)

Bag:  YSL

Boots:  c/o AMICLUBWEAR

Find of the Day: The Floppy Hat ($18.59)

Totes excited to share today's find of the day with y'all:  a stylish floppy hat from AMICLUBWEAR. This fab piece is available in brown, blue, and orange, and is made of a soft wool.  There's a knotted side tie accent, too.  Measurements: 22.5 inch circumference and 4-inch floppy brim.  Use code RED40 to get the discounted price.    

Also, if this hat looks familiar, it's because I styled it HERE previously.  Here's a shot from the post in case you missed it.  I can't recommend this hat enough.  It's seriously the cutest one I own!  Oh, and I'm not making commission off of this post.  Just wanted to let you guys know that there's no ulterior motive whatsoever *teases*

The Sexy Two-Piece

Excited to show you guys my new two-piece courtesy of +AMI Clubwear. 

I kept things simple on the accessory front today by wearing a long pendant necklace.  The piece has a tassel accent and is available in silver or gold.  Clicky here to purchase - currently on sale for $10, originally $21.99.

A full body shot for you guys!  What do you guys think?  Yea or nay?  Would you wear this?  Heads up though, the material's definitely thin so you're gonna want to wear a thick coat on top if it's cold out!  Also, opt for a thong because the skirts skintight.  Panty lines = no-no.

The Bandage Maxi

Excited to partner up with Amiclubwear again on Sensible Stylista. I've always been a huge fan. Although they carry a lot of skimpy clubwear, they also sell cute and affordable clothing. 

This particular number is a stunner.  A v-neck empire waist with a sheer overlay.  Very comfortable and flattering.  You'll feel like a total goddess wearing this piece.  Heads up, the back zipper is a pain - have someone help you out or you'll get mad frustrated.  Yes, I speak from personal experience, ha.  Also available in chartreuse.   

A closer look at my dress.  Love the banded top so much - I'll always be a fan of the style.

In Search of Sunrise

Man, shooting outside is wayyyyy better than takin' pics indoors.  Natural lighting makes such a difference!  I really should've done this earlier, haha.  ANYWHO, for today's post I've styled a casual look for you guys featuring new pieces courtesy of +AMI Clubwear and +FREYRS.

I've featured a lot of old clothing in today's post.  I got my sweater-dress at +EXPRESS wayyy back in the day.  They were having a huge sale in NYC, and I scored it for $10 - picked one up in red, too.  I don't like spending a crazy amount of money on pieces that aren't worth the investment.  I should write a post on items one should splurge on!  Let me know if that'd be helpful.

A closer look at my accessories.  I rarely wear hats, but this floppy number is such a good buy.  I kinda want to get one in every color, ha.  Clicky HERE to pick one up for yourself.  SUPER cute for sure.  OH, and my sunnies are from +FREYRS.  They're currently my favorite pair.  I sure do love a good cat-eye, and for $10?  Oh hell yes.

The Sweater Tunic

For today's post, I've styled a casual look for you guys.  I didn't really feel like dressing up so I copped out and wore a dress with boots.  I REALLY dislike wearing pants & jeans, haha!  Dresses dominate IMO.  Comfy, cute, and form-flattering *steps off soapbox* ANYWHO, back to my OOTD.  Let's start with my new peacoat from +Deb Shops.  This fab piece is available here for $22.50.  It has toggle closures, a fur-trimmed hood, and is a cotton/polyester blend.  I love the design, but I'm not crazy about the faux-fur.  It looks a little TOO faux if you get my drift, haha.  It's a good coat for the price.  Keeps you nice and warm!

This Deb dress, on the other hand, is a real winner.  The crochet trim is adorable, and the dress flatters like whoa.  If you find it to be a bit short, just throw on a pair of opaque black tights.  Problem solved *grins*  Available here for $16.25.

OH, I almost forgot to tell you guys about my new necklace from +INPINK.  This gorgeous piece is available HERE for $55.  Pricy but worth it.  The black gems and rhinestones are soooo sparkly. Hashtag such pretty bling. The matching teardrop dangle earrings (not pictured) are also totes adorbs.

A closer look at my boots courtesy of +AMI Clubwear.  Love, love, LOVE these boots.  They're SO freakin' comfy, and they're cute as hell.  4-inch wedge heels?  I think yes!  I seriously recommend pickin' up a pair!  Let me know if you have any questions by commenting below...

I really wish this dress was still in stock.  I could totally see girls wearin' this baby out to homecoming or the like!  I mean a stunning dress like this would've been a DREAM (at least IMO, ha).  The pricetag's just the icing on top ($37 WHAT THE EFF, I KNOW).

Even though the dress is mad dramatic, I threw on a pair of crazy bold statement earrings and carried a sparkly silver clutch.  Yeah, yeah.  I can be a diva sometimes, ha!  WHATEVS - I say go big or go home!
