Ballet Flats









Top: H&M | Skirt: Bebe (old) similar | Shoes: Forever 21 (similar) | Belt: H&M (old) | Glasses: Thanks to Giant Vintage | Necklace: H&M (similar) | 
Bracelet: LOFT (old) | Purse: Gucci (similar)

Do you have a pair of beige ballet flats in your closet? If not, we urge you to drop what you're  doing and head to the nearest mall to fix this issue right away. A pair of neutral ballet flats are complete lifesaver. Sometimes when we get home after a long night of wearing heels we seriously feel like we may have fractured our ankles...think of ballet flats as a way to A. prevent that or B. be by your side the following day to nurse you back to health. These Forever 21 flats we chose tone down the black in the outfit and make the legs appear longer.

Electric Blue Harem Pants








Shoes: ShoeMint | Pants: Forever21 (similar) | Top: Boutique (similar) | Belt: ASOS (similar)| Watch: ToyWatch | Clutch: Juice Couture (old)

In most cases, harem pants look best with a tight tucked in top. You must wear a belt with an outfit like this, and we like focusing on big, chunky waist belts or a statement belt. This particular belt is from ASOS and we absolutely love their waist belts. They have tons of options with metal embellishments and they really add flare to an outfit. Especially a simple outfit like this. This is a great spring choice with the bright colors. The Juicy Couture clutch is the perfect accessory that compliments the metal accents on the belt and ties the rest of the gold accessories together.

Safari Green







Boots: Forever 21 (similar) | Pants: LOFT (similar) | Top: LOFT (old) | Cardigan: LOFT
Purse: Louis Vuitton | Watch: ToyWatch (similar) | Scarf: Old

I absolutely love playing neutrals off of each other. And with a small pop of color like a scarf, you can pull a cute outfit together. I have to admit, I think without the scarf and the purse (and okay the fringe boots) I would pretty much be ready to go on a safari. I can't tell you how comfortable this outfit is and although there is a lot going on between the scarf and the fringe and the big purse - it works for me. I don't think olive green is usually a go-to color for people when they are out shopping, but it's a nice twist on your usual neutrals and can really add a lot of dimension to your wardrobe. The scarf was a street purchase in NYC - one of the best $10 I've ever spent!

Buckles Galore





Jacket: Ralph Lauren (Find on eBay by searching Ralph Lauren Fireman Jacket) | Pants: LOFT |Shoes: ShoeDazzle | Clutch: Juice Couture (old) | 
Sunglasses: Thanks to Giant VintageCami: Forever21

What better way to accessorize buckles than with more buckles? I've been obsessed with this Ralph Lauren jacket since I first stole it out of my mothers closet. Stealing stuff out of her closet is pretty much a weekly occurrence that she isn't too happy about. Apparently you're supposed to tell people when you steal clothing from them so they know not to look for stuff they expect to still be in their closet. But that is neither here nor there. I purchased the ShoeDazzle booties when the website first launched so unfortunately I don't have a direct link to them but they have a lot of similar styles on their site so check it out! These bad boys have a 5 inch heel on them but the platform actually makes them bearable for long periods of time. This outfit has a military feel to it which is why I love it with the oversized aviators from Giant Vintage.

Spring Neon








Blazer: Forever21 (similar), Top: Gstage (similar), Pants: H&M (similar), 
Shoes: Zara (similar), Necklace: old, Sunglasses: Thanks to Giant Vintage

Happy Persian New Year to all of our Persian friends! The Persian New Year rings in at the beginning of Spring each year and is a time for new beginnings and rebirth. In association with the "rebirth of nature", spring-cleaning is a tradition which also extends to personal attire, and it's customary to buy at least one set of new clothes. On New Year's Day, families dress in their new clothes and start twelve-days of celebration by visiting the elders of their family. On the thirteenth day, families leave their homes and picnic outdoors, as part of the Sizdah-BeDar ceremony. We of course love the new clothes part of the holiday and took full advantage of the first day of Spring to add a pop of color to our wardrobe. We have been dying to wear neon and thought this would be the best occasion to do it. The blazer was a purchase from Forever21 a couple months ago and we haven't worn it yet - so it is still considered new and fulfills the Persian New Year requirements.

Feeling Blue








Blazer: LOFT (similar), Cami: Forever 21, Pants: LOFT (similar), Ring: LOFT (old), Shoes: Zara, Sunglasses: Thanks to Giant Vintage, iPhone Case: Bandolier

Sometimes work clothes can be so boring, right? That's why we love bright colors to mix things up a bit. These electric blue capri pants are a perfect addition for your office wardrobe. Throw on a cami and a blazer and you're set. Instead of pairing this look with heels, we decided to choose these awesome studded pointy flats from Zara. One of the better shoe purchases we've made this season. You can pull them off for al types of occasions. Big thanks to Giant Vintage for sending us the aviators. We absolutely love them!

Flannel Loving








Skirt: Forever 21 (similar), Top: Target (similar), Shoes: Charles Jourdan (similar), 
Belt: Forever21 (similar), Sunglasses: Thanks to Giant Vintage, iPhone Case: Bandolier

Flannel is in and we are pretty sure it's because Kanye West said it's cool again. We love flannel tops - but it's important to choose the right look for you because they do have a tendency to look boxy if you don't get the right fit. For this look we chose a fitted button down flannel top and paired it with a sweet flowy skirt - the belt accentuates the waist. And if you haven't ordered a Bandolier cross-body iPhone case/strap yet - you need to get on it! It's seriously a game changer and will change your life. And no, we're not exaggerating. You always have your phone at your fingertips - and we all know you have dependency issues.
