FEBRUARY FAVORITES
February usually goes by at the snap of a finger, but for some reason, this month felt extra long. I got some fun new bylines on Fashionista — check them out here — spent lots of time with friends, and challenged myself to style outside of my comfort zone a few times, from wearing a red ribbon choker for a Lunar New Year Party to a casual clip-up hairstyle, which I usually only rock when I’m WFH. Here, I’m sharing a few fashion and miscellaneous favorites of the month, plus a few cool photos from a fun party with Boy Smells I got to attend! Without further ado, let’s get into it.
fashion
Zara Polka-Dot Mesh Sleeve Top — Ok, so I don’t normally go for polka-dot anything, but I’m obsessed with this mesh sleeve top I picked up at Goodwill. I got this for $7.99, when I’m guessing it probably retailed for almost $40. The closest I can find online is this pick from Poshmark – although the polka dots are noticeably bigger. I can see myself styling this one a lot into the Spring months, it would look super cute with baggy jeans, or even a satin skirt.
Adidas Superstars — With Spring around the corner, it’s time to break out your white sneakers! If you’re on the hunt for a new pair, might I suggest the Adidas Superstars! Slightly different from the Samba shoe, (which often has a brown bottom and more oval shape), I think these look a little more sporty and cool. I love pairing them with straight leg black jeans or they can even work well with a long skirt or tennis dress.
ACCESSORIES
Amazon Fashion Zig-Zag Headband — Zig zag headbands are too cool and I can’t wait to wear them going into the Spring. I got a set from Amazon back in the Fall with a tortoise pattern and this solid black one, and I think this one would be super cute paired with light sweaters and baby tees going into warmer weather.
FoggyCanyon Charm Bracelet — OMG, I realized that I never shared this charm bracelet in my favorites over the past few months. I asked for this for Christmas from Sean (thanks Sean <3) and got to custom design it with the Etsy shop owner. She did an amazing job and I’m so into it: a few honorable mentions of charms I love — Letter A, Baby Angel Cherub, Butterfly (for Lindsey), Libra charm and Murano glass-inspired charms!
Amazon Fashion Chunky Gold Hoops — Another day, another chunky gold hoop. I particularly love these because they’re a little more lightweight than some other gold hoops I have in my collection. These are super durable and affordable at only $13.
Boy Smells Deeper Well x Kacey Musgraves Candle * gifted * — This lush candle just launched in partnership with Kacey Musgraves and her new single. It’s earthy and sweet with just a touch of musk. Simply obsessed with it and the packaging, it’s ideal for Spring. Sharing some images below from the launch event; it was a blast (click right to scroll!)
Leaving you with a Shakespeare quote for welcoming Spring:
“Who are the violets now, that strew the green lap of the new-come spring?”
[Richard II 5.2]
