Sensible Stylista

The Printed Tunic

I'm stoked to partner up with Oasap today on Sensible Stylista.  I wore this outfit in NYC during my trip but totally forgot to take photos soooo here you go *grins* This fab printed tunic is available HERE online.  The print's super cute, and the piece is beyond comfy!  Here's the 411:

Material: polyester
Quality comparable to: Charlotte Russe/H&M
Vibe: boho chic
Perfect for: everyday 
Available in: several different colors
I'm wearing: size small - fits true to size
My cardi's from Rollacoster Clothing.  Unfortunately they no longer carry this cardigan, but they have other fab options available HERE.  I especially like this velvet version HERE - super cute and mad affordable.  It's only $12.99.  Also, make sure you guys enter SUMMER at checkout to get an additional 20% off + a free gift.  Def. a sweet deal!  I've been obsessed with light outerwear as of late!  I'm a big fan of wearing 'em with short skirts & high-waisted shorts.  
Let's move onto my shoes!  These sandals are old, so I can't link you guys *sad face* I picked a bunch of different styles for you guys though - hopefully my BAMF widget will make y'all happy...

June Workout Playlist: EDM

Sorry guys, I know I haven't been very consistent with these playlists, but I promise to crank them out from here on out!  I didn't realize I could embed these Spotify widgets - they're aesthetically pleasing, AND y'all can listen to my picks.  Anywho, I'm currently SUPER out of shape so I've been listening to lots of EDM, not that I need an excuse to since I absolutely love the genre.  I know I'm a classical pianist, but hey, it pumps me up and keeps me going!  I'm tellin' ya, I can barely run three miles at the moment *hangs head in shame*  Whatevs, I'm striving for progress not perfection.  I need to find someone in the DMV area that's lookin' to train for a half marathon! 

Currently playing on my pod-pod...

How are you guys staying in shape - running, DVDs, martial arts? Comment below with your fave form of exercise!

Ash & Rose

I'm SUPER excited to partner up with Ash & Rose today on SS.  This incredible boutique is perfect for women who love all things romantic, whimsical, pretty and practical.  They're all about sustainability, fair labor, and empowering women.  
Their entire collection is made with the planet in mind through the use of organic and recycled materials, resource-conscious manufacturing practices, and minimal packaging.  You'll always know where and how their products are made - just click the "designer bio" tab.  Your purchase will NEVER support forced or child labor, and they offer a wide array of made-in-USA and fair trade artisan goods.
This gorgeous swing dress is pricy but worth EVERY penny.  The chic tie-dyed pattern is effortlessly stylish.  The mid-weigh hemp fabric drapes beautifully, and it flatters ALL body types.  Here's the 411:

Material: 92% hemp, 8% spandex
Made: by ecoSkin in the USA
Vibe: effortlessly chic and girly
Also available: in black
I'm wearing: a size xs
Comfort level: 10/10
Quality comparable to: high-end Banana Republic/Ann Taylor
Perfect for: summer days and nights
I can't recommend this piece enough!  This dress is absolutely gorg, and it's ridiculously versatile. Here are some pairings for you guys:

1.  BEACH - wear this as a stylish cover-up!  Throw on a straw hat to sun safely.
2.  RUNNING ERRANDS - slip on flat gladiator sandals (white or neutral) for maximum comfort.
3.  DINNER DATE (like my OOTD) - style it with a thin cardi and heels/wedges for a sophisticated look.

Alright, imma stop there because I could go on and on, and I don't want to bore you guys.  FYI, my cardi's from Almost Famous, my new fave brand.  I'm lovin' this chic knit!  I can tell that I'm gonna get a ton of wear out of this especially since it'll transition beautifully into the Fall. Look at me being all sensible, already thinking about cold weather.  I can't help it!  When I look at a piece, my mind immediately thinks of the many different ways/uses of it! "How can I wear this? What does this go with? Can this be worn during different seasons?" Ha.  I'm sure you guys know how it is!
Anywho, let's take a look at my accessories.  I seriously heart my new Freyrs sunnies.  They're def. my fave sunglass store - affordable, crazy stylish, and high quality!   They seriously never disappoint.    If you're looking for hot new shades, I recommend browsing their collection STAT.
