Poplin and Platforms

Taking the poplin trend into fall with ruffle sleeves and ribbon suspenders. Absolutely loving my Stella McCartney look alike platforms by Jeffrey Campbell. I’ve been looking for this style of shoe for some time now and couldn’t bring myself to purchase the Stella’s. Although they are white, I plan to where these babies year round if weather permits. Polished the look off with my go to BDG high waisted jeans and this gorgeous velvet Gucci Dionysus super mini cross body in the color berry. This will be my statement bag for fall. I needed parts of the Gucci Dionysus trend but could not spend upwards of $2,000 on the bag. This super mini was a fraction of the cost but still gives all the feels. IN LOVE.

By now you all should understand my love for denim on denim, also known as the “Canadian Tuxedo.” I’ve really been feeling this trend lately because it’s such an easy way to look incredibly put together whilst being incredibly comfortable. How do you feel about the trend? Let me know in the comments and post your favorite denim look with the hashtag #expertamateur 

Shout out to these iPhone 7 Plus photographs! Better than my Cannon quality 🙄. And shoutout to my photographer 😏

I stated in a previous blog post that I would try to get back to my natural hair ways in 2017 so here it is…my little fro fro. It honestly tears me up inside when I look back at old pictures of my poppin fro 😦 anyway, I committed to less heat this year so after my birthday I’ll be puff balls and twist outs for the next few months.

Also, I have talked a lot about my love/hate relationship with Zara because their clothes are always so trendy and cute but the quality is pretty horrific. So I’ve decided that I will only shop at Zara during their twice yearly sale. This top was $50 when I first had my eye on it around October, 3 months later I scored this top for $15.99! And this is the stuff I’m talking about!! Sooooo many pieces that I purchased in the last few months were on SUPER SALE. I’m talking 79.90 marked down to 19.99. I was highly irritated to say the least. As a result, I am making a declaration to only purchase at Zara during their sales because I just cannot. Spending $80 on a pair of pants that rip two weeks later is just not in the cards for me…19.99 I think I can do.

*The Zara items I am wearing here are sold out online but you can check your local store if you are interested*

SN: I really have to get back into the gym as the little bit of curves I had are disappearing into fluff. Peace!
