NY STREET STYLE; COLD SUMMER DAYS

 Although it’s May, it’s been a little chilly these past few days in New York. Today, I’ve put together an outfit for those colder days! 

 I’ve paired a long sleeve button down from American Eagle with a pair of cute rust corduroy shorts from Pac Sun. Although the shirt is light and the shorts are short-the long sleeves are good for those breezy days, and the corduroy is nice and warm material! 

For shoes, since it still summer of course; I’ve paired this outfit with my favorite Sam Edelman Sandals. These complement the orange of the shorts and balance out the pale blue on top! 

As for accessories, I’ve added my thick black and gold bracelet from Forever 21, and adorable big pipe earrings from Beacon’s Closet Thrift Shop (NYC).  Cheers! x - Alanna Martine

mothers day gift ideas

five more days until im reunited with my family, i am counting down the days until i can sit back and relax with my mom, dad and my sister. being away from school for so long has set me back on time with my family, which is a bummer! fortunately for them i will be home within a blink of an eye.

i get home friday, and have a family event on saturday, then on sunday is the all famous hallmark holiday known as mothers day! this year i have asked my mom what she wanted, instead of me using my creative mind and getting her what i like, which hasn't worked out... so this year i asked her, and she finally gave me a list (seen below). so many choices, why not get all? 

1. { Tory Burch 'Amanda' Flat Tan Leather Thong }  2. { Coco Mademoiselle Eau Ds Parfum Classic Bottle Spray } 3. { Kate Spade New York Millionaire Quote iPhone 5 Case } 4. { Essie Nail Color Polish, Hip-Anema } 5. { Tory Burch Neon Snake Zip Continental } 6. {Vera Bradley Pretty Flower Pot & Vera Bradley Gardening Gloves }

Tunic Galore

Tunics- are pieces of clothing that are simple, but at the same time remain fun. Tunics always fascinate me because they are usually fun prints with exquisite cuts. Although tunics are simple, they are a great summer addition to your closet. Whether you wear the tunic as a dress or pair it with a pair of white jeans, it is guaranteed that you will be the belle of the ball. I personally adore the tunics that have a unique print with beading on them, but others may prefer a solid color that you can easily jazz up with jewels. A tunic is a great piece to add to your summer wardrobe and can easily jazz it up to reflect your personality! Why don't you try it out?
