Walmart is really stepping up their pajama game with the Joyspun brand, which also now includes adorable sets in fun patterns, if you’re in need of sprucing up your sleepwear options!
SHOP:Joyspun knit notch collar top & capris 2-piece set in dark navy lemon, black soot, completely pink dot, lavender touch tile, peach cobbler floral, multi stripe, neela blue stripe, & neela blue travel @Walmart ($16.98, available in sizes S-3X).
I’m not a big fan of button-downs at night, but the patterns on these sets, especially the lemon & blue travel options, have me excited for warmer weather nights!
On a recent quick trip to Walmart, I took a stroll down the clearance-lined shoe aisle, & came across these dramatic knotted flats, perfect when needing a classic black option with a little extra flair—for only $7!
These were originally $30.00, so they’re at steal currently, if you can find them. I can’t wait to pair these with a fit & flare dress, printed tights, & embellished cardigan.
And below is my daughter, ever so proud of my bargain find!
I love a flowy top with feminine details, especially when it comes in multiple colors. I’m gearing up for spring & taking the time to reconsider my warm-weather casual wardrobe & this top just happens to come across my social media feed:
SHOP:Time & Tru peplum top in golden torch, mauve glow, black soot, & blue ash @Walmart ($13.98, available in sizes XS-XXXL).
I’ve purchased all 4 colors & tried them on; however, I’m not sold on them just yet, as they’re living in my “return” tote bag. They seem to look great on everyone on LTK, but I have some hesitations for my XL frame. Maybe I just need to style them up. We’ll see… All & all, Time & Tru is doing s fabulously fashionable job at encouraging this cool-girl spring—& summer—we’re all about to have!
Target’s A New Day brand has done it again! They’re on the pulse of spring-summer with flattering, inclusive must-haves that make me want to book a vacation now & purchase a whole new wardrobe for it. When it comes to the warmer seasons & feminine frocks, you just can’t go wrong with eyelet!
My only wish is that these had thicker straps so that I wouldn’t have to rely on a strapless bra, even if you’re meant to go bra-less with it. Curvier girls need support!
Happy Valentine’s Day, Style Darlings! To bring a—temporary—close to all the loved-themed goods, I wanted to post a reminder that self-love, in whatever form works for you, is the best way to honor yourself so that you can love others.
Rihanna, a 9-time Grammy winner & recent Oscar nominee, has returned to the stage—one of the biggest stages in the world with her exciting performance at Super Bowl LVII. In addition to the showstopping medley of her best hits, while decked out in Loewe & Maison Margiela, the singer also used her platform to announce her second pregnancy.
Watch the pre-show press conference about the celebration of her catalogue & Caribbean heritage in the show:
The red carpet of last night’s BRIT Awards wowed with over-the-top fa-shun from the likes of major recording artists—which is really no surprise, but a lot of fun to write about—such as “As It Was” singer Harry Styles in an all-black statement flower suit, the iconic Sam Smith taking black latex to the next level, superstar Lizzo in full metallic glam, pop singer Ellie Goulding donning brunette locks in a leather armor-inspired ensemble, a suave Lucien Laviscount from Emily in Paris, & actress Jodie Turner-Smith owning the liquid gold look.

Once the sun comes out & the all that cold goes away, it’s time to break out some mules! The slide trend isn’t going away as we’re setting our feet free for another season of casual cool style.
I love the simplicity & of these with the braided, textured top. Additionally, they are versatile to wear for work, a weekend brunch with friends, a floral jumpsuit for a day date, or when running errands. My favorite is the black & white pair since it’s a polished contrast to other prints I may wear!
For the full-time work week, more than half the week includes a 3-piece outfit topped by a cardigan. This means that I need OPTIONS! My go-to store for cardigans of all kinds (that are also quality) is New York & Company. I miss their stores so much, but the variety of EVERYTHING on their website is making due—obviously if you’ve seen my cardigan collection.
Now is the time of year that the winter must-haves are getting marked down to make wave for stylish spring duds, which brings me to post about these $10 long-sleeve cardigans!
For me, 2023 is all about being a little extra. I love a statement piece, especially jewelry, but a fierce pair of heels or booties can totally transform an outfit. While I do love a classic black, gray, or camel boot as a neutral for a variety of looks, let’s talk about these:
I love the bright purple hue, as well as the thick heel & scrunched look at the ankle. I can imagine these dressing up a tunic sweater & leggings, as well as a button-down & skinny jeans. However, they will also work with a sweater dress & hoop earrings, along with a jumpsuit & blazer combination. While the heels are not available in wide width, they are currently marked down from their original $44.99 price tag, which makes them much more tempting to order. We’ll see…
Even though the holidays are over & everything is all hearts now for Valentine’s Day, I’m a sucker for sparkle & even stars on sweaters. Also, plenty of stores are bursting with spring-ready items, which means that there’s still prime time to get a great deal on final sale pieces, especially neutral cardigans that will jazz up any look.
SHOP: star sequin v-neck sweater in beige melange & charcoal @LOFT (on sale: $59.88, extra 60% off with code: LOVE, limited availability in sizes XS-XXL). After the code, they come out to under $24!
I have both of these & can’t wait to pair them with my printed trousers, in windowpane or houndstooth, along with brighter contrasting pieces in red, purple, or magenta. Since cardigans—especially sparkly ones—are my ultimate style weakness, I can’t wait to wear these over & over again, maybe even on date night with a metallic shell & faux leather leggings, like these:
SHOP:faux leather leggings in black & olive @LOFT (on sale: $59.99, extra 60% off with code: LOVE, limited availability in sizes XS-XXL). After the code, they come out to $24 before sales tax!
British fashion legend Vivienne Westwood passed away today at the age of 81. Her career began in the 1970s, proving relevant every decade with its blatantly refreshing combination of punk meets glam. Westwood’s signature corseted design with a deconstructed sweetheart neckline has drawn the attention of celebrity A-listers for good reason, especially as many stars have returned to the label time & time again, including Euphoria’s Zendaya, singer Gwen Stefani, Oscar-winner Jessica Chastain, The Crown’s Helena Bonham-Carter, Wednesday actress Gwendoline Christie, the always stylish Kate Beckinsale, Disenchanted star Amy Adams, The Great lead Elle Fanning, pop singer Katy Perry, Westworld actress Thandiwe Newton, & of course, Sarah Jessica Parker’s iconic Carrie Bradshaw in her gown from the Sex & the City film, which reappears in the upcoming second season of And Just Like That.

Sometimes, there’s fashion in unexpected places, like Aldi! I’ve definitely purchased boots, slippers, ballet flats, & socks for myself in their “fun aisle,” never paying much attention to the clothing provided since I couldn’t try it on & didn’t want to bother with returns. However, as I’ve been in the hunt for a comfortable & basic blazer recently, I was pleased to come across the Serra ponte blazer in black & tan @Aldi ($17.99, available in sizes S-XL).
While this item can only be found in stores, also rolled up in the package, I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for an affordable & easy piece to wear over a blouse, dress, or jumpsuit. I had to steam the blazer when I wanted to wear it; also, I found the sleeves were a touch long for me, wearing the XL), but I was pleased with the fit & how I styled it for a professional occasion.
I’ll likely not get the tan option, but it would be a nice option to coordinate with plaids & with rich, fall colors, like hunter green, burgundy, & rust.
Actress Shailene Woodley has made a name for herself in Hollywood, starring in critically acclaimed films, such as The Descendants, opposite George Clooney, as Tris in Veronica Roth’s The Divergent Series film adaptation, & the romantic The Fault in Our Stars, as well as HBO’s Big Little Lies with Nicole Kidman & Reese Witherspoon. Her diverse filmography remains true to her style in that she takes risks while offering a fresh, playful, & maturity to every red carpet appearance & role. Likewise, her recent portrayal of an unhappy wife in 1965 in The Last Letter from Your Lover, on Netflix, marked a fashionable high for the actress whose cat eye makeup & bouffant hair immersed audiences into the period drama! However. today marks her 31st birthday & I’ve gathered her most memorable gowns!
