You can usually update your wardrobe with a new tops, shoes or bags.

Here are some of my fave picks from TopShop, Diane Von Furstenburg and Alexander McQueen at every price point!

Shop Kim Kardashion's Charity Closet Sale on Ebay!

Hey everyone, hope your day is going by well! This afternoon, I received an eBay update for a Kim Kardashian closet sale. Although, I'm not feeling well today and initially wasn't going to post anything, I had to check it out and share. I knew to expect high end picks - Gucci, Alexander Wang, McQueen, Alaia and Louboutins - at a fraction of the normal retail (ex. Chloe Paraty Satchel for about $770, usually anywhere between $1795-3800) and that's pretty much what you're getting here. While some of the items are still too pricey for me right now, there are still options in a decent range and the sale is definitely worth checking out! 70 items are listed altogether in the accessories, clothing, shoes and bag categories but unfortunately, none of the clothing or shoes are even close to my size range. If you wear size 6-7 in shoes or anywhere between 4-6 in clothing you're in luck :-)!.

Here are some of my fave listings:
1. Alexander McQueen Houndstooth blazer $305 (size 40)
2. Azzedine Alaia Polka Dot Dress $685 (size 36)
3. Christian Louboutin Glitter "Pigalle" Pump $355 (size 36/6)
4. Valentino "Maison" Tote $540
5. Christian Louboutin " Armadillo Bride" Pumps $219.50 (size 36.5/ 6.5)
6. Alexander Wang Short Sleeve Cargo Top $157.50 (size 4)
7. Adriana Castro Lizard Clutch $151
8. Balenciaga Red "Giant City" Bag $900

Portions of the proceeds go to Life Change Community Church and the sale ends in about 6 days. Have fun checking it out!

Mixed Prints: Stripes & Leopard and How to Wear It Now!

Happy Hump Day all!! Week is almost over, been crazy busy as usual, but wanted to share my latest wants and trend inspirations with you! Lately, I've been really into mixing prints; mainly stripes with florals, dots with florals, stripes with leopard prints, etc. My fave combo is the stripes and leopard print, of course and this is my look inspired by this combo.

I’m loving the whole feel of this look right here. I could have done a full on striped shirt but I’m liking the minimalist feel to this top so went with that instead. It’s very easy to pair with black jeans, but to step it up a notch I’m liking the red skinnies as an option as well. What do you think of this look? Are you into mixing patterns, if so, what’s your fave combo?
