LOOKBOOK: AFFORDABLE MIX 'N MATCH SUMMER SWIMWEAR + ACCESSORY DETAILS

HAPPY TUESDAY, FASHIONABLE FRIENDS!

THE WEATHER HAS STARTED TO WARM UP AND IT's making ME SMILE FROM WITHIN.

THIS WEEK, I DID A COLLABORATION WITH AMI CLUBWEAR TO SHOWCASE some of THEIR SWIM LINE and splash into THIS summer in style!

Their selection is endless and affordable so you can try a few.  I MIX 'N MATCHED mine to SHOW HOW VERSATILE IT IS and make it fit my body type.

I'm bigger in the hip area, than up top, so, I always get a bigger bottom. Remember to have fun with it, and you can mix and match swimwear with Pieces you own or styles and cuts you like and feel most comfortablE.

SIZING NOTE: THE SWIMWEAR DOES RUN RATHER SMALL, INCLUDING ONE PIECES. SO, IF YOU AREN'T INTO THE ITSY BITSY TINY WINEY, SO TO SPEAK, or have hips, I WOULD RECOMMEND SIZING UP, ESPECIALLY ON BOTTOMS.

What's your favorite style swimwear? I love tankinis & Scallop Details! ❤

LOOK OF THE DAY: SNOWY WEATHER CHIC FEATURING ZAFUL & ROSE GAL

Happy Wednesday, Everyone!

This weekend we got some snow followed by a gorgeous, sunny day with bright blue skies.  I was traveling for the last month and was glad that I didn't miss all the snow back east.

Plus, I finally got to bring back out my beloved Hunter boots, a Christmas gift from my parents a couple years ago, and am sharing the look I sported while running a few errands before some time in the city. The mix of sun after the freshly fallen snow truly made me and my heart happy! 

I've fallen in love with this warm, zipper accented, coat sent to me from Rose Gal, an affordable online boutique, which made my chestnut brown bag from Zufal pop.  I've started seeing a lot of zippers in fashion and think they add that extra something to give a classic black coat a chic edge.

Enjoy, and I'm wishing you all a lovely rest of the week! ❤
