Find of the Day: The Strappy Crochet Tank ($12)

I'm very excited to tell you guys about today's find!  I recently bought this tank from Aeropostale, and I'm completely obsessed.  The deep neckline is just the right amount of risque - it's sexy yet tasteful.  If you're a fan of Francesca's or Free People, I guarantee you'll love this tank.  I have it in navy, but unfortunately, that color's sold out.  They still carry it in cream though!  I've been into looser silhouettes as of late so I ordered a size small.  It was a good call because I like the way it hangs but an XS would've still worked. As a plus, the straps are adjustable - I personally prefer shorter ones.  To sweeten the pot further, this tank's currently on sale HERE for $12!  
I'm beyond impressed with Aeropostale.  They've really stepped up their game.  I know I've said this many times already, but they deserve serious props.  I absolutely love their Toyko Darling & Bethany Mota designs!  Have any of you guys shopped there recently? If so, what do y'all think of their new lines?

Find of the Day + Ann Taylor Shoe Sale

Alright guys, I literally JUST featured these heels in today's post - click here if you missed it.  However, I wanted to showcase 'em again for a number of reasons. 

1.  They're ridiculously cute and comfortable - that's saying A LOT because they're almost 4" high.
2.  They're on sale for $35 (!!!) - they were originally $138.
3.  Everyone needs animal print in their life, ha.
4.  ...and I need to share more crazy fashionable shoe picks from Ann Taylor's sale with you guys.
I mean, just look at those heels!  They're SO cute, and they add so much personality to an ensemble.  If you're afraid of wearing animal print because you find it bold, these heels are a good way to start.  The print's very subtle due to its neutral color.  At 3.75", these shoes may seem intimidating, but like I said, they're super comfy because they have padded footbeds.    You also don't have to worry about them slipping off because they have zippered straps.  I can't recommend these enough!  Make sure you buy a pair for yourself HERE.

Also, I'm sure you guys already know this, but Ann Taylor's giving you guys an extra 50% off ALL sale styles so make sure you get your browse on.

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?

Talbots Memorial Day Sale

I freakin' love Memorial Day sales!  I went shopping yesterday and hit up the local Charlotte Russe Factory outlet (for my LA trip comin' up) ONLY to find that they were giving peeps an extra 50% off on already reduced prices.  I bought 4 dresses, 2 shirts, and 3 skirts for under $50 (!!!!) Ridiculous, right? 

To my glee (and my wallet's dismay), I just got done shopping the Talbots sale - buy one item to get an extra 40% off and two or more to get an extra 50%.  I wish I could've bought ALL the fab pieces pictured below, but due to my budget I stuck with the two pencil skirts (polka dot & plaid) and the heart blouse.  If you're looking for workwear, I suggest hitting them up and stocking up now while prices are heavily discounted.  Their skirts and blouses are seriously legit.  Honestly, I like them better than J. Crew.  Bold statement but whatevs.  Just being truthful with y'all!

TIP: make sure you sign up for ebates HERE (I promise to love you forever if you use my URL - I get commission if you sign up through me) before shopping their sale to get cash back!  You get 2% sent back to you - hey, every bit counts!

Find of the Day: The T-shirt Dress ($8)

Super excited to share this fabulous find with you guys today on SS.  My mom actually found this gem at Walmart last week.  She wore it out, and I swear I thought it was from Ann Taylor or Banana Republic.  I was super impressed with the quality and fit.  I actually ended up purchasing two of them for myself: one in grey, one in black.  They had other cute prints and colors though!  Clicky here to see.

So here's the 411 - material: 60% cotton, 40% polyester jersey.  Care: wash inside out, machine wash cold (gentle cycle) with like colors.  Tumble dry low!  I bought this baby in size small because I liked the loose fit.  Measurements are as follow: bust 34.5-35.5, waist 27.5-28.5, hip 37.5-38.5.  FYI: also available in M, L, XL, and XXL.  

In my opinion, this dress is a total must-have.  It can be dressed up AND down, and it's ridiculously comfortable.  I'll make sure to style it several different ways for you guys in the near future!  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  For $8, this item's a steal - clicky here to purchase.  I really can't recommend it enough.  Oh, and FYI, these pieces were purchased with my own money.  This post wasn't sponsored in any way!  I'm also not making any commission whatsoever - just in case you guys are wondering.

Find of the Day: Bevast Crystal Necklace

Alright guys, today's find WAS gifted from a sponsor (Sparkles & Pop), but I SWEAR to you that this necklace is going to be the BEST $40 you spend.  Bold statement, I know, but I TRULY mean it.  I've been wearing it CONSTANTLY because it looks awesome dressed up AND down.  In fact, I've already featured it on here several times.  There's a reason for that, you know!  
FYI: 15" long with a 3" extension

It's currently selling for $48, but I have a special code so you guys can get an extra discount - use code SENSIBLE to get 20% off your purchase (valid until 5/31).  Available HERE!  Now, to clarify, I'm not making ANY money off your purchase - there's no secret commission deal going on.  I just genuinely LOVE this piece and believe you will, too.  

You won't believe how many people have complimented me on it.  I'm talkin' little kids, gay men - you know it's real talk when a gay guy tells you your necklace is fab - store associates, colleagues.  I could go on, and on, and on.  Cop this piece while you can!  Free US shipping (and returns) + free gift with a necklace purchase.

Find of the Day: The V-neck Pocket Tee ($7)

It's time for another fab find on SS!  I'm super excited to tell y'all about today's FOTD because it's a wardrobe staple.  Solid tees as a must-have - simple but chic.  Jeans + tee = timeless combo that oozes steeze.

I got this item at Aeropostale a few weeks ago - FYI, I've collaborated with them before, but this item was purchased with my own money.  Trust me when I say this tee's ridiculously cute & comfy - super soft and lightweight.  Think James Perse minus the expensive price tag.  Currently available for $7 (originally $19.50) HERE in 7 colors.  I copped one in black, but I'm probably gonna order one in white, too.  For your reference, I went with a size medium - I prefer loose fits.  I usually wear xs/s, so I recommend sizing up!

Find of the Day: H&M Jersey Blazer ($34.95)

Today's FOTD is a chic blazer from +H&M.  I picked this baby up last weekend because I loved the fit.  A girl can never have too many blazers IMO!  I seriously wear them with everything because they look great dressed up and down.  I'll be featuring this piece soon on SS.  

This blazer is on point, and it's a steal for $35 HERE.  Sign up for their newsletter online and get an extra 20% off.  I've used so many of them (hashtag no shame) by subscribing with different email addresses, ha.  Also available in black, gray, pink, and red - a polyester/rayon/spandex mix FYI.  Mine's navy (as pictured below).

H&M blazers are legit. If you're looking to add polish to an ensemble, buy one stat.  I promise you'll be impressed with the quality.  Let me know if you have any questions by commenting below.  I'm always happy to help!  As always,  fotd's are personal purchases unless noted otherwise.

Find of the Day: Patent Leather Pumps by JS ($29.99)

I got these JS by Jessica pumps online for $29.99 (originally $89.99) during Off 5th's Friends & Family sale - which is still going on BTW.  I absolutely LOVE these heels - they're a serious must-have.  Here's the 411 for y'all:  they're glossy patent leather round-toe shoes with 4" heels.  Available in black AND beige HERE.

These babies are timeless, and I can't recommend them enough.  As you guys know, beige & black heels are BASIC.  I don't mean "basic" like "omg, she's such a 'basic' betch", I mean "basic" as in every woman should own a pair of black & beige heels because they're fundamental wardrobe basics.  Not gonna lie though, I had a lot of fun time writing that all out, ha.  

ANYWHO, these heels = perfect for work and play.  Shoot me an email or comment below if you have any questions,  I'm always here for you guys!  Sending you lots of love.

PS.  I'm hosting a totally BAMF international giveaway with Albion Fit HERE.  You could win a $50 gift card for yourself + two frands.

These printed skinny jeans are SO ridiculously cute!  I bought them online at Saks Off 5th yesterday because they're currently having a Friends & Family sale - use code FRIENDS for an extra 40% off and FREESHIP75 for free shipping on orders $75+.  

Anywho, I'm a Joe's Jeans kind of girl.  I don't wear pants often, but when I do, JJ's is my go-to.  When I saw these printed skinnies, I grabbed my wallet IMMEDIATELY, ha.  I wish I was joking, but come on, $59? Uh, I think YES.  They're originally $178 so these babies are a steal.  Plus, I know they'll fit perfectly because I own different pairs already.  Clicky HERE to purchase - I used Shopsense for the aforementioned link.

Find of the Day: Cynthia Mesh Pumps from BCBGeneration ($29.39)

Super excited to tell you guys about today's FOTD.  I picked these babies up Friday afternoon!  I love living next to a mall that has Off Saks and Last Call, ha.  These heels (originally $89) are available for $29.39 here.  Love at first sight - I mean, the mesh + cap toe + leather ankle strap? So much winning.  

These kicks are 4.25" high, but don't let that intimidate you.  Trust me, I'm AWFUL in heels (I kind of walk like a donkey, don't judge) so I'm extremely particular.  The leather strap will keep the shoe ON for starters, ha, and the mesh has a lot of give so your footsies will be all sorts of comfortable.  I can't wait to wear these loves out and about.  Great for work AND play - fits true to size.  Also available in red HERE and blue HERE.  I own the shoes in black, and I would've bought a pair in red, but they're out of 6.5's *sad face*


I'll be shopping quite a bit this week (I'm on Spring break) so I'll be sharing more finds with you guys.  I only recommend pieces I OWN so I can vouch for quality, and all FOTD's are purchased with my OWN money.  If a featured piece happens to be gifted, I'll let you guys know!

These shades though.  I personally own the black with dark solid lenses (pictured below), and I'm totes obsessed.  The silver embellishments are beyond cute, and the sunnies are mad lightweight.  A serious must-have fosho.  Available in three other colors HERE.  PS. US & Canadian residents get free shipping *pumps fist* SO much winning.  International friends can purchase pieces for a flat $4.99.  Still a great deal because Freyrs sunnies are so affordable.  Do yourself a favor and browse their collection STAT.
