Rails Plaid x Frame Denim

 Hi readers~! I'm starting off by congratulating all the students who are graduating. As for all the other students, YAY for summer! It's finally here and we've been waiting for so long. Time to start booking our summer trips right? I'm excited, as I am planning to head out to NY sometimes in the next 2 months.

This post is highlighting one of my more casual looks for simply running around in. What could be more simple than jeans and plaid to throw on for a comfort chic look. I would call this look Spring/Summer grunge as it has some ties to being a bit on the darker toned side, but still encompassing those light hues for Spring Summer.
 
My ombre plaid shirt is from Rails. It's a nice staple to have to simply wear as a shirt or to have as a cover up for a tank top. Honestly, Rails makes the softest button ups ever!! 

My Gucci bag that I paired with this outfit is what I call super vintage as it's a hand me down! I absolutely love this crossbody because of the classic Gucci print. The cute bows set with a simple grey color.

As I work my way down the look, my light washed denim is by Frame denim. They are so comfortable and soft. I don't usually wear light denim, as I prefer black, but it really lightens up your outfit. It's great paired with white tops to really give a summery feel.

 My new favorite round-framed sunglasses are by Oliver Peoples. This company is known for their sunglasses and more rounded frames. Definitely worth the investment for its light-weight frames and polarized lenses.

Textures & Prints

Floral prints and quilted textures is what my blog is about today. I've been inspired by many bloggers these days that do a lot of mix and matching with their pieces. A year ago when I bought these two pieces from Topshop, I would never have thought of pairing them together, but it works because of the subtle colors. The neutral white and grey adds a light color scheme, and the floral prints with the quilted textures adds a bit of elegance to it.

What really spices the whole outfit is definitely the hem line of the skirt. Steering away from the midi skirt, I really went high to a mini A-line.

To top it off, the black booties are by Report with a 2 inch heel. Even though it's not much, but I love having a little it of height (I'm cheating because I wish I was taller). These booties are my go-to work shoes. Comfortable for long hours, yet it matches almost every...single...outfit I have!

I hope I could have somewhat been a bit inspirational for your own personal style :)

My sunglasses are a brown tortoise color that I purchased from a website called Giant Vintage Sunglasses for a really good price!

The Midi Essential

Happy Tuesday! The main feature of my post today is about the midi skirt. Its nice to switch up hem lines to being below the knee rather than the usual mini skirts. My cutout perforated skirt from Zara is so simple yet it makes the entire outfit. It is hard to see in this photo but there is a shorter skirt inside, and you can see my legs through the skirt. It adds a bit of edge to the classic midi skirt.

To add a more elegant look, I am wearing a statement necklace that has an art deco design by LuluFrost. I won it through the Styletag app giveaway. You can also follow them on instagram @styletagapp

Spring Break Getaway Pt. 2


On my second day in Las Vegas, I went a more casual route with my ensemble. Keeping in mind the sunny weather, I brought out the high waist black shorts I bought at Topshop a while back. I did not show the high waist part because I didn't want to cover up the unique print on my tank. My tank from Acne Studios has nude and black tones printed in an abstract way which caught my attention. I paired the whole outfit with the Zara linen top just to have coverage on my arms.


 Never forget the red Prada bag peeping at the side of me. The essential "it" bag for me!


To top it off, my Chanel espadrilles have been totally worth the investment so far. They are super comfortable, and the colors match so many different looks for the Spring/Summer.


Thanks for reading my readers! Stay tuned for upcoming blog posts for some new spring/summer looks :)

Spring Break Getaway Pt. 1

Happy spring break, readers! I hope you've all been doing well since it has been a while since my last post. Finally spring break has come around and of course the best way to start it is to go away on vacation! I went to Las Vegas this past weekend as part of the 21 club! YAY. I tried to keep my outfits simple by keeping in tone with the basic blacks. The drape wrapped skirt from Zara is currently the hot buy as its edgy with the asymmetrical hem and light weight fabric. I paired it with a basic black crop top from Brandy Melville and the striped linen shirt from Zara as a cover. 

There was a really pretty floral display at the Wynn and the lighting there was amazing~ right in front of the Chanel store too. hehe.
My shoes are by Jeffrey Campbell and they are studded sandals with a mini heel. These shoes are great for some coverage and support, and to show off a good pedicure!

This is my look for the first day of my stay! Stay tuned for my part 2 of my Vegas getaway :) Also check my instagram @nitaaamin for posts from my Vegas trip! It includes lots of food (as usual).

Spring/Summer Espadrilles


 The sun is out and it is time to get our daily dose of Vitamin D! I haven't worn shorts in such a long time that it was weird to see my pale complexion~ My shorts are distressed boyfriend shorts, but I sized down to get a tighter look rather than to have a baggier fit. I also cuffed it because I don't like my shorts super long. I got them from Topshop about a year ago, but they are the best shorts ever because of the high-waisted fit.

 Because March is my birthday month, I thought I would give myself an early present as I saw these Chanel Espadrilles at Saks Fifth Avenue and thought they were the cutest summer shoes! It is ideal and a nice change of height instead of wearing boots all the time, plus it accommodates a lot spring and summer wear! These Chanel Espadrilles run small so I had to size up to a 39, but it fits perfectly. It is also lined with leather under the canvas exterior, making the shoe sturdy.

 
 My top is from American Apparel. Stripes this season seems to be trending, so go out and grab your striped nautical look to add to your wardrobe.

 

Stay tuned for my next blog post :)

The Boyfriend Shirt and Oxfords

 Hooray for the SoCal sun shining down on us. That means its time to do a 180 spin on our wardrobes! I'm finding it hard to transition though...BUT this outfit is a good start to keep cool.

Starting off with my basic grey vneck and black pants, I kept it casual to go have a late lunch at Larchmont Bungalow with one of my besties. I wanted to have a cover up, but it was too hot for a jacket, so the boyfriend button up was a good way to add a pastel color to my dark scheme. To really add a touch of summer, I finally busted out my cutout oxfords that I got from Dolce Vita.




Stay Tuned for my Spring/Summer looks! Thanks for reading :) 

For students out there, good luck on your Midterms! One more to go for me!
