Feminist T-shirt + Lace Skirt

authenb

What says girl power more than a graphic tee that tells you that “the future is female!?”

The answer to that is NOTHING! I’m so smitten over this casual look that is ultra feminine that shows so much strength. It is not bright and colorful but the text on the tee definitely catches your attention. The lace on the skirt screams “girly girl” while the sneakers tell you that “she’s ready to take on the world!” (Or just some brunch and shopping (-:)

As for accessories, I wanted to go with sparkly stones in my earrings to add to the feminine side of this look. The purse and lip color is the pop of color in this outfit. (I had to put the color in somewhere) Let me know what you think of this look!

Enjoy!

Shop in Your Man’s Closet for a Sporty Look

The sporty athleisure look has been around for quite awhile now but if you haven’t tried it yet, I have a brilliant way to get you started! Go looking through your man’s closet and you will find just what you need to get that oversized slouchy look without putting to much effort into it.

Start by looking through your guy’s side of the closet. Look for baseball jerseys and anything that has at least a few buttons going down the front. Once you find that section of the closet look for your favorite colors, patterns, and prints. Now that you have one that you like, put it on and undo the first two or three buttons. At this point, arrange the shirt so that it hangs off of one shoulder or you can have it hang completely off both shoulders.

That was the hard part. Now, you get to spice up this slouchy oversized look with some other items to to make this look feel more pulled together. Think shoes, purses, earrings, and jeans. To make my styling more feminine, I matched a fitted deconstructed jean with high heels that are colorful and funky. Feel free to play around with this because the possibilities are endless.

Now you are all set to go out and have fun plus, you will be comfortable doing it! Enjoy!

Trina Turk + Authentically B| Style Editorial

I’m super excited to finally share this with everyone! This was a fashion editorial published by Mud Magazine. There’s beautiful video as well as photos for this story so feel free to share. The inspiration behind it is that of a young woman who seeks the freedom of her existing life to transform into a alternate reality of fun, pleasure, and independence. She escapes to a motel where she can let loose and be liberated. Leave a comment and tell me what you think. Enjoy!

Retro Floral | Outfit of the Day

Sometimes when I thrift shop I find nothing. Other times it is obvious that the thrift gods are on my side. I was able to get this beautiful print for less than $5 from a resale shop. To make things even better, I got these wide leg high rise jeans from Target for about $9. I’ve had these wedge sandals for about three years (but they came from target) and my friends over at Charming Charlie hooked me up with the accessories. My necklace, sunglasses and tote was sponsored by Charming Charlie.

Not only is this look super comfortable, the retro vibes feel really good.

High Waisted Push Up Bikini | Outfit Of The Day

If you’re looking for a high waisted push up bikini for this swim season I’ve found two that I think you’ll love from Zaful.com . You may remember my high waisted push up bikini from last swim season that came from Old Navy. I’ve remixed that same swimsuit this year by simply adding a fun summer bananas graphic t-shirt over it to give it a new look.

Sometimes when you head out to the pool you can feel a bit exposed. You’re basically in your underwear so layering a cool t-shirt on top of your swim top could be the answer to feeling more clothed at the pool this summer. Leave me a comment about your favorite swim looks and ways to not feel so naked at the pool. Enjoy!
