Prada baroque sunglasses

I literally just bought these and rushed home to write a post about them- I am so obsessed! These Prada sunglasses are so beyond fashionable and super trendy- I cannot wait to wear them every chance I get! These baroque sunglasses have Prada's trendy signature ornate swirl design on the temples with chic square frames, instead of their two original shape designs, cateye or circle. These are super wearable yet über fashionable, making them my latest obsession!!! All the celebrities have been spotted wearing these frames as well. Do you love!?
I purchased them at Nordstrom.
Retail price: $300

Trend Alert: Embellished T-Shirts!

Trend Alert, fashionistas! The next big thing for the Fall is... Embellished T-shirts! Trust me when I say, if you haven't already seen them popping up everywhere, you will really soon! I recently purchased a few embellished t-shirts so I can prance into Fall sporting this fabulous trend.

One of my favorites is by Ellen Tracey- this burnt orange color is spot-on with the trendy colors for Fall. The lovely and delicate beaded golden detailing really makes this shirt stand out. I can't wait to pair it with a chunky sweater, skinny jeans, and over-the-knee boots this Fall.

Another shirt I adore is by J Crew. This green color, like burnt orange, is spot-on with the color trends for Fall. The beaded detailing is so nicely done, it would like great on its own or underneath a sweater.

Lastly, who couldn't love this t-shirt from J Crew?! It is one of my favorite shirts of all time: It encompasses so many trend at once- animals and embellishments! How could you resist this fabulous sparkling zebra?! J Crew is a fabulous place to go for more stylish embellished t-shirts You can also find this trend at lots of department stores, so be on the look-out!

Trend Alert: Natural Stone Jewelry

I am always up for a new jewelry trend, and fashionistas, I have scoped out the hottest one! Natural stone jewelry is everywhere right now, being crafted by some of my jewelry favorites. Stones featured include "rough" or "raw" cuts of citrine, druzy, jasper, opal, and quartz stones, to name a few.

The hottest and most saught-after pieces are bracelets, rings, and pendants featuring natural stones. These pieces have such a unique vibe and natural look to them- they are statement jewelry in an understated way.

Melissa Joy Manning Black Druzy Ring

Jody Candrian Jewelry Sterling Silver Cuff with Raw Citrine

Jody Candrian Jewelry Black Quartz & Pyrite Ring

Melissa Joy Manning Agate Wrap Cuff

Bass by Rachel Antonoff

If you haven't already spotted this trend, the vintage prep has taken over. What better way to live out this hot preppy vintage trend than through these amazing leather loafers! This line by Rachel Antonoff for Bass features some unique shoe styles that are sure to stand out.

Glee actress Naya Rivera wearing Wendybird loafers

This exclusive Bass line has been seen on tons of celebrities, such as Glee star Naya Rivera who wore these Bass Wendybird loafers to a red carpet event.

The Wendybird is a classic handsewn loafer with beautifully polished leather uppers and outsole. The loafer is styled with two charming hearts that shape the cutout on the instep strap. The two-tone penny loafer has a hand-sewn moccasin construction and a breathable, cushioned footbed ensure all-day comfort.

Red/White

Karikole/White

Black/White

I purchased my pair of Wendybird loafers in Karikole (brown) leather with white, but they are also available in both Red/White and Black/White.  These shoes are just so adorable and I love them! How couldn't you?!

 

 Fit guide: they fit a bit large, so I would recommend ordering these specific loafers in 1/2 size smaller. Also, they are made of all leather so they will stretch a bit over time, so they should be a bit snug to start.

You can purchase the Bass by Rachel Antonoff Wendybird loafer at Urban Outfitters, Nordstrom, and on the Bass shoes website.

Want it Wednesday!

These shoes are the most PERFECT must-have for summer. The Jessica Simpson Dany is my "Want It" item of the week! These chunky platform pumps feature a t-strap design and are made of leather upper and a covered platform with a wooden look. 

 

This chunky heel, although very high, is extremely easy to walk in- you are shocked, I'm sure! But this heel, which measures in at a whopping 5 and 1/2 inches, isn't like your normal stiletto. There is a platform height of 2 inches, making this insanely high heel surprisingly easy to walk in.

Chalk Brown Perfed

Frost Perfed

Since you surely will become addicted to these heels, they come in tons of colors! My favorite color is the fabulous Grey snake print. Some of my other favorites include the Frost Perfed and Chalk Brown Perfed.
