STRIPES + SPOTS | MIH JEANS

Major crush on these two shirts from MIH Jeans. The stripe button down with the open back is classic, yet the unexpected detail in the back gives it a sexy touch. The shirt with painted spots is one of my favorites this fall. The whimsical print was created by one of my favorite illustrators and stylists- Bernadette Pascua. You can find this shirt here, here and here.

SPORTY . SEQUINS . STUDS

Never would've thought to pair this sporty sweatshirt with a sequin and stud embellished skirt, but it definitely works here. Two great pieces with lots of possibilities.

SUMMER PARTY DRESS

My favorite party dress this summer is one that's sleeveless with a drop waist and soft pleats. I love how versatile they are- Great for casual or more dressed up occasions, and by tweaking the shoes and accessories, they can be styled to fit a range of personal styles. Go from glam to classic, preppy to edgy or keep it clean and minimal like the looks above.

SHOE CRUSH: BLACK + GOLD SANDALS

Crushing on these black and gold sandals. The gold plate embellishments make them a great statement sandal and they're less than $60- score! Find them here as well.

CANDY STRIPE

Not usually one for bright stripes, but I'm kinda digging this candy stripe skirt. The styling def made a difference- I call it minimal with a rainbow kick.
