Season of Crop Tops & Mini Skirts

Summer Fit Hey loves, One of the best parts about summer is being able to wear barely any clothes and having it feel so natural because of the heat! I'll admit that, because of the year round summery weather we have in Miami, FL, my wardrobe pretty much stays consistent. However, as you all know, I have also lived in cities like New York City and Milano, where the climates do in fact change according to the season. Thus, this has allowed me to appreciate my mini skirts and cr

The first time I wore it I literally went straight from the beach to a semi-formal seafood restaurant and, thanks to the dress, the look was pulled together. I would highly recommend for you

How I Turned My Nightie to a Crop Top

Converting nightwear to a night out look Hey there, A few months ago I purchased this Midnight Blue Silk Nightie and have been using it as a form of traditional sleepwear/nightwear.

Having been inspired by lace tank tops, I tied the waist portion of the garment into a knot in the back. In doing so, the garment instantly became a silk lace crop top so I paired it with m
