Spring 2019 Look Book & Inspo

Long time no post! I've been drowning in stuff to share with you all, but life has been crazy busy and I'm just not getting the time to pick it up this year.  After seeing the looks from Paris FW and all of our favorite brands releasing their collections for the seasons, I decided to drop some of my favorite pieces and styles and share my inspiration for this spring. 2019 is here for some killer looks friends - hope you enjoy

The bead bags this seasons are bringing back a heavy touch of vintage but are absolutely adorable and can add a girly touch to almost any outfit.  If you're looking for a smaller crossbody version, New Look is coming in with some great sales currently and there are more that a few included.
               

• Mini pink beaded shopper (currently on sale!) - link
• Vintage inspired red striped bead bag - link

While shopping recently, I've had a stronger emphasis on looking at pieces that were well made and were staples while still being interesting.  the classic feminine wrap dress can be styled about 100 ways but this spring pairing a dainty little dress with some chunky sneakers and cute sunnies is a look all of it's own
                  
                                              

• polka dot midi satin wrap dress- link
• mixed floral mini dress- link
• green tie side mini dress- link

When it comes to spring jackets, the best move is to find picks that transition into summer - by May you won't want a heavy bomber or long line coat so a light moto jacket or statement denim jacket will tie your look together for the whole season

• Basic biker jacket- link

Mules! That's literally all. so so cute and basically sandals but with the practicality of actual shoes, also who doesn't love a little heel. chunky heel mules are the wave currently and these ones are my favs
       

• red pvc detail mule- link
• espadrille heel mule- link

Lastly is animal print everything!!! we as a whole decided cheetah was no longer just for Snookie and this trend is going full circle, can't forget some snake print too and mix it up

• mixed animal mini skirt- link

Fun Sunglasses for spring || super affordable

Hey loves, I've been getting some direct messages asking where I find my sunglasses so I thought I'd put together a little look book of fun sunglasses for this spring.  Sunnies are one of my go-to favorite accessories and for the most part I opt for more affordable options just because I like a wide selection.  Most of the pairs linked below a statement pieces but a few are a little more versatile, so I hope you all enjoy!

                                           
I'm obsessed with these!! Awesome combination of the cat eye trend while incorporating the style gucci put out last season with the small stones all over the face. Link- ($20)

                                            
This pair is a fun take on the clout goggle look but are a bit easier to style and can add a touch of extra to any look. link- ( $19)

                                        
These will definitely be a little too much for some people, but I absolutely adore them! link- ($11)

                                            
Yellow is one of my favorite colors for this spring and these are a more easy for everyday wear style. link- ($16)

                                                
Love how basic but fun these are, nude goes with everything but chunky frames are always cool. link- ($12)

                                          
I could wear these literally everyday!!  So into the rose colored lenses lately. link -($24)

                                          
These clearly aren't your everyday shade, but they are super wild and could add an awesome touch to a bold look. link -($19)

hope this answered any questions about where I get my affordable sunglasses & you guys like the styles I have been digging recently -XoXo, lily vera

My Favorite Trends of the Season || Spring 2018

Hey beauties!  I did a trends post like this for fall 2017 and it had a lot of interaction so I thought why not bring it back this spring.   NYFW just happened and the fashion world has been taken by storm with fun trends, colors, and looks this season and I definitely have my favorites, so I hope you all enjoy!
                                       
Chunky platform shoes are always killer but chunky heels for spring is so fun and could even be added to athleasure wear to spice it up. This pair is from public desire and I am just living for the textured soles, there are also a ton of other chunky heels that could mix it up for a different looks (link)

                                              
Another trend I have been LOVING is incorporating vintage pieces into my wardrobe especially cool blouses.  If you don't have the time to thrift or go to vintage shops, there are tons of vintage inspired tops like this one out right now. (link) 

                                               
Cat eye sunnies have been everywhere recently and I thought this pair was such a fun statement!  You can always count on Zara for fun quality accessories . (link)

                                            
Two piece sets always make for an easy and stylish outfit especially in a fun color like this rich emerald shade & its super affordable which is always a plus. (link)

                                                         
Vinyl everything! The plastic look in clothing right now is so edgy and I think its a look that can be styled year round.  Not only the material, but the color of this piece is killer too. (link)

                                               
The dad shoes look is one that not everyone likes, but there's something so edgy and classic about them if they're styled right, fila is another brand making a huge comeback and these shoes have the perfect chunky look. (link)

                                           
This is a piece that never goes out of style , but a strappy mini dress can be dressed up or down and the square neckline is a very "model off duty" look currently. (link)

                                       
Lastly statement pants and trousers have been such a fun trend and I think finding a pair in a fun material is even better, this satin pair is different look and the lighter material will be perfect as spring starts to warm up. (link)
