Father's Day Gift Guide

It’s safe to say my dad is a pretty cool dude and also someone who I look up to. He’s taught me how to be strong, assertive, and also how to live life to its fullest. His great sense of humor and full of life personality makes it easy for everyone to love him (but sh if he knew I was writing this, he would probably smile and say “of course I am”).

If you’re anything like me, I am very indecisive when it comes to presents and a gift guide is always the perfect inspiration to guide me in the right direction. I have collaborated with East Dane for Father’s Day and put together some of my favorite gift ideas. The best comparison for East Dane is that it’s equivalent to ShopBop but for the male version (perfect, I know)!

1. Striped Broadcloth Shirt

2. Marc by Marc Jacobs Chronograph Watch

3. Marco Polo Belt

4. Oliver Peoples West Sunglasses

5. Dearborn Lace Up Brogues

6. Credit Card Wallet

7. Dotted Woven Tie

8. Slim Travel Kit

9. Continental Duffel Bag

10. Rag & Bone 2 Button Blazer

I hope this gift guide was helpful.
Have a fabulous weekend!

Casual Minute

Sometimes casual chic is the best attire for Sunday sunsets. We have had really warm afternoons but breezy nights. I decided to have my jewelry and accessories speak for itself for today's look. I paired a simple tee with a black leather skirt and wrapped a denim jacket for once the breeze sets.

Birthday Girl

It’s my biiiiiirthday today!

So in honor of my birthday, I had to do a birthday shoot..I mean, only made sense right?

I wanted something simple but sweet and these balloons combined with lace and pleats were the perfect combo for it. 

I have officially turned 26 and couldn't be any happier. Thank you to my amazing friends and family for supporting me and encouraging me to continue to strive for success.

But most importantly, I want to thank all of you!

My followers, new readers and the one that have followed me on this journey from the beginning that have seen me grow and evolve through Studs & Sapphires and my personal life.

I appreciate all of your comments, support, and love from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes and thank you for joining me on this very special day!

Stressed but Well Dressed

Happy Monday!
I recently told you I have been experimenting new silhouettes and midi bodycon skirts has become my new favorite. I paired this vertical stripe number with a classic button up and kept the outfit very business savvy. I fell in love with this new Zara clutch because I believe "Stressed" is the perfect way to describe my days and weeks (haha most of the time) but I still believe in dressing well.

I hope you all had a great weekend.

A bit of Flare

Happy Hump Day!

I hope everyone is having a great week!

Today's post is all about the wide leg pant. I'm a "skinny jeans" type of gal but once in a while, I like to bring out my flares and accentuate a more curvy silhouette.
These black linen pants are perfect for Summer and can be both styled from day to night. I have to admit this white lace crop number from Topshop is my main go-to item these past few weeks. The lace and intricate fringe make it the perfect summer top to be styled in many ways. 

When I found this "stressed but well dressed" clutch from Zara, I, immediately, had to purchase it. I kept my outfit very clean and crisp in only black and white allowing me to wear it both to brunch and dinner.

Thank you all for always stopping by!

Pop of White

White is always chic for warmer weather!
I love white jeans and white blazers during this season and especially lust over the "all white look". I am still loving the gladiator strappy heel and decided to pair them with my favorite destroyed skinnies. For a casual day, I completed the outfit with a white tee and added the blazer to take my outfit from day time meetings to a night out with friends.
