The Floral Mini

Oh how I love florals!  I'm completely obsessed with my new high-waisted skirt from Khromato. This adorable piece is a do on so many levels.  I personally really like the design - the peplum hem is beyond cute! If you guys are interested, this piece is available here for $21.  Also, for your reference, the quality's comparable to Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe.

I styled my skirt with a neutral top to keep things classy.  I scooped this knit up at the Ann Taylor Factory Outlet a few weeks ago for $20. It's definitely going to be a closet favorite because it's so chic and versatile.  Since I don't have a link for you guys, here are some other fabulous options:

A closer look at my top!

A full body shot for you guys!  FYI, my shoes are also from Ann Taylor.  Their heels are all SO cute. I seriously want to buy them all!  I think AT may actually be one of my new favorite shoe stores, ha! I laugh, but I'm totally serious. In fact, I wrote a post about them a while back - clicky HERE to see my picks and read all about 'em. 

I heart Burberry so much!  Who else loves their designs? I'm a huge fan of their outerwear and bags. Yes, they cost a pretty penny, but they're totally worth it in my opinion!  It's important to think long term.  These are pieces you'll wear for the rest of your life.  Calculating cost per wear is important AND practical.  Here are some of my favorite pieces from their line:

Celeb Style For Less: Gisele Bundchen

Being from Boston, I obviously am madly in love with Tom Brady. Therefore, by association, I automatically love the gorgeous Gisele Bundchen. The Italian supermodel has given birth to three kids, and yet still looks amazing every time she's out in public. Check out how to get this simple and casual day-wear look

Pants: Level 99 || Top: Asos || Shades: Freyrs || Purse: New Look || Shoes: River Island || Bracelet: Nelly || Scarf: Krisar

Gisele's pants are simple yet cute - I love light wash jeans because they look good with literally everything. The small rip in the knee adds the perfect amount of edginess, while still remaining classic. These jeans are from Level 99 and only cost $35! That's def. a steal. 

Mixing different shades of one color usually isn't my style, but I think this look is absolutely gorgeous, even though she's wearing four different whites! White sweaters are a wardrobe staple; I can not get enough of these in the Fall. Asos sells a perfect, comfortable white sweater for $23.  Scarves are probably my favorite fall time accessory, and Gisele's cream scarf is perfect for her look. Krisar sells a version that is certain to keep you warm for $20. Her bag is also super cute!  It also happens to be really functional because it's so big. It's not a perfect match, but New Look sells a similar design for $17. 

Moving onto her shoes - Gisele is wearing classic Chanel flats in a gorgeous peachy tone. These are literally one of my favorite styles, but even used ones can go for upwards of a grand. Luckily, River Island sells a very similar pair for way less -- $48!

Finally, to accessories, Gisele is just wearing a thin gold bracelet and adorable aviators. These totally complete the look, while keeping the simple vibe she's rocking so well. Nelly sells a super cute thin gold bar bracelet for $15.50, and Freyrs sells classic aviator shades for only $10.

What do you guys think of Gisele's outfit? Would you rock any of these pieces? Also, let us know who you want to see on the next Celeb Style For Less!

Playing with Pleats

In honor of the weekend, I've featured a fabulous pleated number for you guys.  This gorgeous dress is effortlessly stylish, and it transitions beautifully from day to night.  I obviously dressed it up with heels and a statement necklace, but it looks equally fabulous with flat gladiators and oversized sunnies.

I've actually featured a couple of items from Zaful already (here & here), but this is my favorite piece by far.  The color's beautiful, and the fabric feels like silk even though it's polyester.  The quality's comparable to mid-level H&M so the $18 price tag is worth it if you like pleated designs. Also, for your reference, I'm wearing a size small.  In this particular case, the item fits true to size, however make sure you guys double check measurements when shopping their store - sizes vary from piece to piece.  You can purchase this dress HERE.  Note:  Zaful conveniently offers free shipping worldwide.

A closer look at my tassel necklace from InPink.  This necklace is a total must-have in my opinion. It's a rope-chain so you can wear it several different ways!  I should've shown you guys *smacks head* I promise to re-feature it and show y'all in the near future.  

Anyways, this lariat necklace has delicate chain tassels accented with rhinestone bars dangling at each end, and it comes with matching tassel earrings.  The piece is a bit pricy (at $46), but think about cost per wear!  This is an item you'll wear for years to come because it's classic and versatile.
