Summertime Shoes

pc. by Alexandra Gibbs

If you guys couldn't figure it out (I mean... it's not the hard) I'm quite the shoe head. I can never resist any sneaker, sandal, or flat- sometimes heels- you throw my way. Alas, I've decided to include some video content to the blog. *slow clap* about time, Sloane- I know... I know...

I'm no Spielberg or Anderson, but the video isn't too shabby. Please share what you would like to see on here, and subscribe to my Youtube channel here. Speaking of the world wide webz of media- I'm tumblr'n on the regular once again- come and join the party!

Shoes in video from start to finish- Vince flats, Soludos espadrilles, Topshop slides, Comme des Garçons sneaks, Zara sandals, Joie sandals

Formulaic

Wearing: Vineyard Vines dress c/o (similar, similar), Urban chambray (lighter wash), Rebecca Minkoff bag, Comme Des Garçons x Converse sneaks, vintage Sunglasses

As it's completely  obnoxiously obvious by now, stripes are my favorite print to wear. A stripe dress can become your best friend when it comes to weekend dressing. Having it be a classic item, it can be challenging to mix it up and put your own personal spin. I tend to go with an overall blue and white palette (with a pop of red... 'Murica). A dark wash chambray cinches the waist and adds texture which is most definitely a win-win. Tousled hair and minimal makeup finish of the formula for weekend dressing.

A few other combinations I love for a stripe number:

 denim vest + slip on sneaks

cinched waist + open trench + hi-tops

white blazer + bandanna style scarf + d'orsay flats

Striped Legs

Wearing: Mango pants, Zara sweater, Comme des Garçons x Converse sneakers, Madewell trench (old, similar), Chanel bag

I am not sure why I am drawn to these pants so much. I wore them all day on Saturday and I was told I resembled a clown, beetlejuice and Robin Thicke- quite a statement pant if I say so myself. Alas my friends, I am not one to jump up and down for printed pants but I have slowly gravitated towards them. Simply put, these pajama trousers has stolen my heart and you know I cannot resist stripes of any kind. Along with my new favorite converse and neutral basics it became the perfect outfit for the weekend.

On another note, did you guys tune into the Oscars last night? I rarely live tweet award shows but I had a blast last night on Twitter. Who do you think was best dressed? Kate, Lupita, Olivia, and Emma looked flawless in my opinion. And I cannot not talk about that #epicselfie and pizza party. Be sure to come back tomorrow for a full Oscar recap. 

Spring Trends | Clothing Rack

L to R: Spell dress, Alexis crop top, Asos skirt, Brandy Melville top (old), Joes Jeans denim, Paul & Joe Sister dress, Zimmermann silk shorts, Vineyard Vines dress c/o-, Mango trousers, Alexander McQueen scarf, Porter magazine, Zara shoes, Comme des Garçons x Converse sneaks, Stubbs & Wootton loafers c/o

After rearranging my room (I promise, more pictures are coming soon!) I finally had space for a clothing rack. This was completely necessary due to an overflowing closet- which to be honest, spends most of the time on the floor. At one point, I began to hang clothes on lighting fixtures in my room. My new rack has kept me more organized and lets me see what I have actually purchased thus far for Spring. Currently it's a collection of my favorite pieces- whites, pale blues, simple prints, and of course, some stripes. On the bottom are a few favorite shoes and magazines. I cannot wait for this weather to warm up and for my upcoming trip to wear some of these pieces.

Two items in particular I cannot wait to wear are this midi skirt and crop top. They are both statement pieces are their own but when paired together, I think it is a really unique yet cool look. You can also see my affinity for printed bottoms like this denim from Joe's or these silky trousers. Please share with me your favorite trends for Spring or items that you just love in general.
