Happy FriYaY!

authenb

Happy FriYay y’all! My ootd says it all right!?!? We made it to another Friday and it is cause for a celebration. Before you say that we should treat “everyday” like Friday, you must admit that sometimes Fridays feel like a breath of fresh air, light at the end of the tunnel, and guacamole on top of your chipotle bowl! 🙂

A few weeks ago I was browsing the explore tab on Instagram when I can across a cool t-shirt company called Hen&Will. They specialize in adorable kids t-shirts with hip saying and monograms. They had a “FriYay” shirt for kids but I loved it so much I couldn’t pass it up. I messaged the owners to see if it came in adult sizes. It didn’t at first but they assured me they could help get me one soon! Visit Hen&Will online and on Instagram to check out their cool kids wear and get your own FriYay t-shirt. Use promo code “AuthenticallyB” for 10% off your entire order.

The shirt is charcoal gray with white lettering so I paired it with white deconstructed denim jeans. Their are usually two versions of most of my ootd’s. One has a dressy shoe and the other version has a more comfortable shoe for running errands or just for plain ol’ comfort. I would wear my leopard ballet flats to run around and the heels for an outing with friends.

Do you have a Friday “uniform”?  If so, leave me a comment and tell me about what you like to wear to celebrate Fridays! Enjoy!

Spring for Cheap?

authenb

As we get closer to spring we break out the bright colors, flowers, and airy dresses from out wardrobes, but it doesn’t mean we have to break the bank! Which leads me to this yellow high neck crochet top that I recently found on clearance at Forever 21 for $5 bucks! Yes I said $5! It is pretty good quality for its price and has beautiful details. 

  
I received so many compliments on the shirt when I wore it to an event recently and I couldn’t wait to tell all my fashion friends how much I paid for it. (Ha ha) For the evening I paired it with black wide leg pants because, well it’s too soon for me to fully commit to a complete spring look. Lol 

So here is a tip. When you start looking for new items to add to your closet as new seasons come and go, make you’re first stop the clearance section. You may find beautiful pieces that work for the current season for super cheap. You don’t have to always break the bank to get clothing that you actually want to wear. I hope this tip helps you look great and save some money. Leave me a comment and let me know how you find deals when you’re shopping for new seasons. Enjoy!

Exclusive BTS from Kaleidoscope Houston 

authenb

Kaleidoscope Houston is a multifaceted 3 day event showcasing art, music,film, and fashion. The venues are amazing and the creative vibes going into the show are even better! The first night is Urbanity, followed by Jet-Set, concluded by Imaginarium.

What is so very special about Kaleidoscope Houston is that all of the talent involved are local creatives with international flare. Every single night you can expect art exhibits, dancing, live art, silent auction, pop-up retail shops, musical performances as well as runway shows.

You get the best value with a 3 day pass but if you have a hectic schedule and can only make it out 1 or 2 nights you will not be disappointed. It’s going to be an event like non other. Here are some bts (behind the scene) photos of some of the creatives shooting some Kaleidoscope Houston promo videos. Be on the look out for them soon. Enjoy!

OOTD| Less is more

authenb

If you’re working on your capsule wardrobe like I am then these staple pieces are a life saver when you need to find something casual to wear, but you don’t want to look “thrown away”. Ha ha! Put together this ootd with your white/gray chunky knit sweater, Cami, black jeans, and your sneakers. Sneakers with a pop of color add a little interest to the outfit. Enjoy!

 


  
  

OOTD:Classic Black

authenb

You can’t go wrong with black. Black is timeless and classic. In the words of my friend Sammi, “I could wear black everyday.”(I know so many others feel this way too!) This outfit is easy, comfortable and casual but is still very stylish. Her sweater introduces another classic color (white) to create a chevron pattern which adds just enough interest to make you do a double take. Check her out on Instagram for more style inspiration and other effortless ways to wear black.
