Lucky for me, the trend from statement to subtle has been going strong for several seasons now and today I want to share with you my favorite dainty pieces that I got from Sequin*. Known for unique pieces that embody contemporary […]

If you know me, you know that I’m all about the basics so I wore it with my fav jeans […]

I got mine here and I love its classic striped print topped with an elastic-banded straight neckline. I also […]
