Who Says We Can't Wear Boots In The Summer?

With the Ksubi Black Dusty Open Boot, I say we CAN wear boots all through out the summer! I live for super feminine summer ensembles paired with a beat up black boot. These Ksubi's are breathable, check. Sick sick sick looking, check. Would look unreal with cut off shorts, check. Would funk up any little sundress, check. I mean, what is not to love about this boot? Ok, well the price... but for $389, I find these completely worth it and I will wear the daylights out of them! Also, can you imagine how completely rad a colored knee high would look peeking through these little babies? Duh! Adore! I personally love all my short boots and it's always so hard for me to switch completely over to my flats during the summer months. I don't always like looking too girly and miss my boots desperately when trying to achieve an edgier ensemble. These boots have completely solved my problem. They're like a breathable gladiator sandal boot! Haha! I live for it! Ah, what a great find! Hope you're all well. Sadly, I have a terrible cold from work. Boooo. I am off to go rest up some more. I think ordering these boots would make me feel all better. ;)

Jewls Top Selections From The Best Summer Sales

My head is spinning from how many unbelievably sick sales are going on right now. My usual gamut of subscribed flash auction sale websites such as, Gilt Group, Ideeli, Rue La La, HauteLook, and Billion Dollar Babes keep my eyes glued to my computer screen for several hours a day. I consistently find great things for my house, gifts for everyone in my family, and my man. These flash auction sites are also an absolute life saver during the holiday seasons if you come from a huge family like I do! However, during the summer months, you truly can't beat an awesome sale from some of my favorite sites: Ten Over Six, Opening Ceremony, Maximillia, Bona Drag, Oak NYC, Creatures of Comfort, Gargyle, and La Garconne. It was super hard to narrow it down, but I have selected my one top pick from each of these websites sales below. Let me know which one is your favorite! Aghhh, I am feeling so sluggish today!! Off to go make another shot of espresso. Thank God for the amazing coffee machine at work. Happy Monday, gorgeous loves.

Pick from Bona Drag Sale: 

 Shakuhachi Bandage Off the Shoulder Dress, $228 (from $326). I would normally never wear anything this sexy but I can't keep coming back to this dress! I really think I need this in my wardrobe! I own nothing like this!!! It would be fun to drive my man nuts with this gorgeous piece. ;) Why not, right?

Ah, and our love Bambi just makes it look perfect doesn't she?

Pick from La Garconne Sale: 

Alexander Wang Quilted Zip Off Sleeve Jacket, $238.50 (from $795). Um, hello best markdown in life?! This jacket is to die for and I have wanted it forever. I must own this. It's so versatile and is absolutely year round!

Perfect for the summer months because you can zip the sleeves right off of this puppy! I would love pairing this with a high waisted skirt and a bandeau bikini top or jean shorts!!!

Pick from Oak Nyc Sale:

Black Drop Crotched Chino Trousers, $39.60 (from $132). Great sale price! And oh so perfect for those lazy days when you want something loose around your waist. I adore these.

Pick from Ten Over Six Sale:

 LD Tuttle The Helmut Sandal, $279 (from $398). It is no secret that I am an LD Tuttle freak. Known for being very fashion forward, these sandals are definitely a statement in "Lava Red"! They kill me! I know they are still kind of insanely expensive, but I would plunge for these because I would wear them for years and years! My LD Tuttle boots wear out so well and have lasted me ages!

Pick from Gargyle Sale:

Lerario Beatriz Embroidered Top, $150 (from $304). An adorable top to wear from day to night. Good for work or a night out! I am always on the hunt for great tops that will work for any occasion! This one is definitely a keeper!

Pick from Creatures of Comfort Sale:

APC Madras Plaid Bikini, $63 (from $90) So Cute!!! This bikini reminds me so much of the little plaid Steven Alan ruffled boy shorts that Lize and I run around in all the time when we are at home. The print is so darling!!

Pick from Opening Ceremony Sale:

Opening Ceremony Crochet Ivory Dress, $427 (from $610). I just love how 70's this dress is. The little tassels under the bust?!?! I love it. It would be so perfect over a suit during the summer. I adore the colors, the texture, agh everything about this dress! It's so playful and young while that sheer material gives it a little bit of sex appeal.

Pick from Maximillia Sale:

Illionaire Worshipper Frock, $127 (from $638). OK! I HAVE SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST! 80% OFF GUYS! Look at this beauty. Illionaire is a line that I have loved for ages, but unfortunately it is way beyond my wallet. Naturally, I was thrilled about this piece being slashed down to this price!

LOOK AT THAT PRINT!!! TOO DARLING!

Crocheted Scalloped Crop Top, $72. Uh, hey cuteness. Over a bright bikini and a tan tummy?! Done!

Joshua Tree Inn Sunnies, $48. Cheap, huge, and ridiculously cute. I am so grabbing these. Lize and I spend gross amounts of money on shades, but it is always good to have some cheapies around to wear in the pool. 

One Teaspoon Blue Leather Shorts, $174. THESE ARE NUMBER ONE ON MY LIST! A little more on the pricey side I know, but I would wear the immortal *#&$*#& out of these! I am not ready to stop wearing my leather pieces. I don't care if it is 90 degrees out, I am going to be wearing these.

These are unreal.

 FINSK Bandage Wedge, $404. Oak NYC has a 20% off sale on all their shoes and bags this weekend! Get it, get it ladies! These shoes murder my soul. Lize and I have been obsessed with Finsk for ages. I wish they didn't cost a third of my rent.

The back of these are killer. Ugh, I can't talk about it. How obnoxiously sick would these be with my dream leather shorts above??? Oh yeah, and with the cropped crocheted top? I can't deal with the visions that are swirling around in my head right now.

Floral Denim Shorts, $89. I don't know about you guys but I am craving some white denim in my wardrobe this season like crazy! Short prices have sky rocketed though, and it is depressing me and my checking account! These are white, have flowers, and are under $100! Sold!

L.O.V.E. the print.

Zimmerman Thistle Weave Triangle Bikini, $205. I have such a hard time finding bathing suits that I like. The cut, the prints... gah, I find most of them so utterly cheesy. This one is so sexy and different. I really want this bikini!

Leviticus Climb Ring Bracelet, $34. Just to be dramatic. I mean, Leviticus Jewelry is fun for that! Their whole entire website is 40% off right now so it is a fantastic time to scoop up a pile of fun costume jewelry!

Lace Beige Maxi Skirt, $52. Paired with a cropped ripped up black thrift store tank and wedges. Done and done.

I know this one is super expensive, but I would fully wear this as a unitard as well. It would look unreal worn under cut off shorts and high waisted skirts too! Love love love this bathing suit!

Jeffrey Campbell Zag Platform Wedge, $175. Oh my soul, are you kidding me? Yessssss! These are hysterical!!! I would so wear these! Long live the 70's! Paired with a sheer blouse over a bikini, cut offs, and a massive sun hat... kiiiiiiller. These are for sure on my list of summer must haves.

Jewls Top 20 Oxford Shoe Picks For Spring/Summer

This deliciously juvenile "Sunday School Saddle Shoe" trend is not going anywhere this season. Oxford shoes are no longer exclusively for private school girls. Lucky for all of us ladies, I have combed through all of my favorite websites to find us the cutest saddle shoes in every color, cut and price! I am in desperate need for like five new pairs! Now that I have found literally twenty pairs that I could seriously buy right this second, I am going to have the most impossible time choosing which ones to actually get! Eek! Help me decide! Hope you're all well loves!
