Summer Must: Khaki Green Anything!

Top: H&M (only $24.99!!) | Skirt: H&M (under $40!!) | Shoes: Steve Madden (under $100) | Purse: H&M (on sale for $14.99!!) | Sunglasses: Ray Ban | Watch: Daniel Wellington (Daniel Wellington (15% off with code: LAURENEVA) Okay, earthy greens have always been my jam! I’ve always been a huge fan of khaki green, olive green, and hunter green. I really do think these greens look good on almost anybody. And they have a way of making an outfit feel classier (in my opinion!). Usually, these earthy greens tend to be more of a Fall trend then Summer. Luckily this Summer 17′ khaki green is the thing! Pretty much any retailer, whether big or small, will be carrying khaki green this season! I’ve literally seen it everywhere and in every style. But, this skirt has to be my favorite khaki green item in my closet! Not only am I swooning over the colour. But the detailing is just soooo right! I love the gold buttons, the fabric belt with the gold D rings and my favorite of all; the asymmetric foldover over the top! It’s made from Lyocell so it has a soft and lightweight feel. It fits true to size and is only $34.99! Another perk… is that this baby can work its way into early Fall! Vaikų vasaros dienos stovyklos Kaune https://intellectus.lt/dienos-stovykla/ Yay! I’ve also linked some of my fave khaki green items so far below! xo Lauren

Summer Must-Have: The Perfect Pair of Sunnies with Made Eyewear

    Sunglasses: Made Eyewear ($20 off with code LAUREN20) | Bodysuit: Mendocino (similar) | Pants: Mendocino (similar) | Shoes: Charlotte Russe (similar) | Purse: H&M Sunnies and me go together like peanut butter and jelly, lol! Seriously, I’m pretty sure you can’t find a recent picture of me without my sunglasses on. I literally do not leave my house without my favourite pair of sunglasses on and my car is basically the home to my any pairs of sunglasses. And I honestly feel like no outfit is complete without the perfect pair of shades. My sunnies usually consist of cat eye style lenses or oversized lenses. I also tend to buy sunglasses that are cheap and mainly for style. But I recently had the opportunity to select a pair of sunglasses from Made Eyewear. They have an amazing selection of sunglasses and optical glasses. And even better is that you can customize the lens type in your glasses to really suit your needs! Another perk is that most of Made Eyewear’s sunglasses are unisex. I don’t know about you but my hubby and I love to swap sunglasses when possible. And it’s pretty much more possible for me then him as all mine usually tend to be very girly, lol! So he loves the Hudson style too since he can wear mine finally!! I chose the Hudson style sunglasses because I wanted to get a more sophisticated pair of sunglasses. I wanted a pair of sunnies I could wear to…

Spring Must: Floral Embroidered Top

Top: Missy Empire (under $25!) | Skirt: Forever 21 (don’t love it so similar here) | Shoes: Aldo (under $75) | Sunglasses: Quay | Purse: Zara Okay so I have been trying to incorporate as much embroidered pieces into my Spring and Summer wardrobe as possible! I am so excited that florals are back this season with a new twist. I mean I love the classic Spring florals. But, it’s just so refreshing to have a new twist on an old classic Spring staple. I’ve been living in denim skirts all Spring long so far. They are just super easy and go with everything! The thing about denim skirts though is they can sometimes make an outfit blah if the top is too basic. I love to make denim skirts more exciting by adding either texture or detail to the top. Hence, this embroidered ruffle sleeve top from Missy Empire. I am totally into a nice basic white top to pair endlessly with multiple outfits. But I do think that creating a little interest is important to have a pulled together look! I love the ruffle sleeves on this top and the beautiful detailed embroidered floral. They are so faaaab! This shirt from Missy Empire is great quality and even made in Italy! It fit’s true to size (I’m wearing the S/M) and is only $23!! Also, quick note. This denim skirt is from Forever 21. Honestly I don’t love the fit or the length. Because of that I’ve linked…

Spring Must: Distressed Denim Skirt (under $40!)

Top: Forever 21 (similar here and here) | Skirt: Missy Empire c/o (only $32!) | Shoes: Aldo (under $100) | Purse: Aldo (similar here) | Sunglasses: Quay | Watch: Rosefield  Happy Friday guys! If you’ve been following my blog or Instagram you know I am LOVING denim for this Spring. In my last post, here, I explain how I wasn’t loving the denim dress trend until recently. And now I’m loving the denim skirt trend big time! In the past month, or so, I’ve purchased a few different denim skirts. Everything from white embroidered (read the post here), and super distressed white (read the post here), to a classic black denim skirt. It wasn’t until I received this skirt from Missy Empire until I really fell in love with the denim skirt trend. All of the skirts I mention above I really do love. But, this Missy Empire denim skirt fits so so so good! It fit’s truly like a glove, which is unlike the other skirts I wore above. I’m not saying my other skirts fit poorly (I would say the F21 skirt does actually, lol, more on that skirt probably next week). But this skirt just fits AMAZINGLY! It fit’s TTS and really gives your body a nice hour glass shape. SO, if you haven’t bought a denim skirt for the season buy this one!! I promise it won’t disappoint and I love the off center slit it has in the front, super chic! And you can really pair…

Spring Must: The Perfect LBD + A Discount Code!

    Dress:NA-KD c/o (under $100 and 20% off with coupon code ‘LAURENS20’) | Shoes: Charlotte Russe (similar here) | Choker: Aldo | Purse: Aldo (similar here) | Sunglasses: Aldo (similar here) Happy #humpday! If you follow me on Instagram or here on my blog, you’d see I’ve been obsessing over the pieces I got from NA-KD.com! I got the perfect Summer sweater (you can view the post here) and this amazing LBD that I am craaazy about! I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect LBD for a little while now. I am a big believer in having at least one amazing LBD in your closet. A LBD is so versatile and I specifically wanted one I could wear out for date night on warm Summer evenings. So when I saw that this one was a shift dress (I’m a huge lover of shift dresses!) and had a plunging back, I knew I had to have it! Plus, I am a total sucker for knots or bows at the back so that was a win too, lol! This dress can totally be dressed up or down. I plan to wear it with some gladiator sandals later in the season to give it more of a casual vibe. But, I love this dress with these heels! Even Qais said it was one of his favorite dresses that I own! As for fit it is true to size. It is on the shorter side and has some gaping in between my…
