This Week's Finds #002

Helping you to find something to wear!

It's time! Let's get into this week's fashion finds. Vacation is heavy on my mind right now. I'm planning out our summer vacations and activities. The internet would say wedding season is also trending. What are you shopping for?

Let me know in the comments.

First up, let's get into tops! And one bottom snuck in there, maybe.

• When it comes to blazers, ZARA is my go-to brand. Their quality is unparalleled - everything is top-notch, from the fabric to the color tone and hardware. In fact, my oldest ZARA blazer is still going strong after 6 years of regular use. This turquoise color is an excellent choice to add to the collection.

• I always want to create a simple and comfortable look on the weekends, as I will likely head somewhere with my girls. This linen top from Express comes in multiple colors, is light, and is flattering. Pair with your favorite high-waist jeans or some linen shorts - if it's that warm in your neck of the woods already.

• Can we get a standing ovation for this stunning orange set from ZARA? Orange is a top color choice for our melanin-rich skin; this vibrant ensemble is essential for summer vacation. Throw it over a neutral or blue swimsuit for an instant style upgrade. It's everything! The top & Bottom are sold separately.

• If you're an OG here, you know I believe in a good graphic tee collection. Make a statement without trying too hard. This Outkast Tee from Urban Outfitters makes for a laid-back statement. Pair with your favorite wide-leg jeans and sneakers of choice. 

• This Express tee is a summer staple that's ready for any occasion. With its availability in over 10 colors, you can easily dress it up or down, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe. 

This week, the bottoms category is more about sets than bottoms alone. Sticking with the same vacation, spring, and summer outings pattern, I found some staples and comfortable picks for you.

• I'm obsessed with the two-piece romper situation in Anthropologie. With just a little skin showing, plus the wide-leg Palazzo pants, you will surely be comfortable and cute the whole day.

• Of course, I must give you the trousers to match the ZARA blazer. It's only fitting.

• This striped two-piece set by Free People will be soft on your skin yet still stylish. It reminds me of the Fall Sweater sets I sourced for TBE; they are still available in four color choices. 

• Another sophisticated set by Kelly Obi NYC to pack in your suitcase. I would pair this with a black swimsuit, oversized shades, and black or gold sandals. She is resort-ready!

• On the hunt for wide-leg baggy jeans, I found these BDG brand jeans at Urban Outfitters. This will be clutch with a graphic tee or the Express tee mentioned above.

Ok, here's to a good night out with the boo or your girls! Let me know what you think about these dresses I found.

• I found the Kelly Obi brand while searching for colorful silhouettes. I really liked their selection. I have yet to order from this brand, so let me know if the quality needs improvement. This colorful sheath dress is super chic! It's one size fits all, which tells me the fabric has a lot of stretch and will accentuate your curves. Pair with a black or clear stiletto, and you are ready!

• This red backless maxi dress from Free People doesn't need much introduction or explanation. 

• I love this crochet linen dress from Express! It also comes in a burnt-orange-red color, but I went with the black after going back and forth. 

• The all-white party invitations are just about ripe and ready to be sent out! Get your fit together now! I love this simple white dress from ZARA. 

• Last but not least is this beautiful coral linen dress from Banana Republic! It's beautiful! It will last year after year as a trusted go-to dress over the summer. Pair with your gold or wooden accessories. 

This week, the accessories seemed to have a black, gold, and neutral theme. But also a few goodies to make your looks pop.

• These black and gold resin earrings from ZARA will make a classic statement. I would pair it with an all-white, black, or denim look.

• You want to avoid too many beach bags in the closet, so making a versatile selection is essential. This Steve Madden tote is large and chic, it will work with most of your wardrobe choices. 

• A triple-layered hoop from Mango.

• This royal blue silk underwire bra from ZARA sent my mind running. Pair with an oversized blazer as an accent underneath. 

• Good shapewear is hard to find. These biker shorts also cinch your waistline. 

• Gold bangles. Period.

Building the sneaker collection. Preparing for Act II and not letting go of heels all at once. Nuanced. LOL!

• Light pink/nude Nike Dunks. Girlie, but still versatile.

• I stopped a girl in the airport to ask her the name of these New Balance sneakers. They are also one of the most popular styles right now! They are called the New Balance 9060. They come in a lot of colors, so pick your favorite.

• These Gianni Bini wedge heels are neutral and versatile. They also check the box to wear a heel without the pain caused by the platform. I've recommended them over and over again. 

• If you stay ready, you won't have to get ready! Don't mind me; I'm just getting my Cowboy Carter tour outfit ready. These boots, these boots, these boots! The styling options are endless!

• Buy quality heels to decrease your chance of hopping on one foot at night's end. While it's not a 100% solution to making stilettos feel better, it will surely help. These Micheal Costello X Revolve black heels are super sexy! 

I hope you found a few pieces to help in your search for what to wear in the coming weeks! 

Until next time!
