I am a woman who loves a good deal and free shipping, and these deals are ridiculous. I love the 2018 summer trends, and I searched far and wide to find these steals that satisfy my trendy cravings, and these are all things I've purchased. I'm almost afraid to share them because they are that good... NOTE: Amazon's prices can change quickly, so these prices may vary over time. Smocked tie shoulder tank: $17.99 This top is super fun and perfect for the beach. I love this summer's trends because we ditched last summer's super minimalist look, and are still keeping it simple but spicing it up with new textures and fits. Fun top! Front tie Dress: $18.99I love how Italian this feels and fun this dress is! It's super cute on and very feminine. In love. My rule is that if one part of your outfit is exposed, keep the other areas covered, so if you have a lot of leg, keep the girls tucked away in a higher neckline. This dress has a Tuscan flare with a tie front and low neckline, but makes up for itself with a tea-length hem. It was actually $8.99 when I bought it about a month ago, but it's still a steal! NeckerChief: $3.15I love that this summer has a lot of ware that has Italian girl-style vibes. My pinterest is flooded with these neckerchieves. I love seeing people style them with their handbags, as a bracelet, and anklet accent. This is in my Amazon cart, on the way to delivery! Shirred tube top: $2.38I saved the very best for last:
I know what you're thinking. Shut the front door, dang it. This is probably the best fashion find I've ever found in my life. Ever. I was nervous when I ordered mine because there were only 3 reviews, but I figured if it never comes or turns out to be a dishrag, I only wasted two bucks. But, much to my surprise, it came and it's exactly what the picture looks like. Load up your cart and buy 55. Heart eyes, heart eyes, heart eyes. Note: May run large so stick with a smaller size. wearing Habibi White Tassel EarringsSurprise!
Today’s the big day for the launch of the new online Boutique! It’s a project that I’ve worked so hard on and I can’t wait to share it! I’ve designed a collection called the Soraya Collection and hand made all of the pieces ♥️ 20% of every purchase you make will be donated to a faith-based non profit organization, Voice of the Refugee, that engages and assists refugees in the US. I have a million things I’m so excited to say about this launch, so read all about the passion, love, and heart that is behind this collection on the "About the Soraya Collection" page, under the Boutique tab and come hang out for the Instagram live later today @Carlieraetice! The launch party starts at 1pm MST, don’t miss it 😘! I am SO THANKFUL that the weather is warming up. I am so over winter clothes. Winter seems so fussy and layers are not my deal, so this is the best time of year for me. I started breaking out my warm weather outfits, and I've been obsessing over this gray dress with my new blue pinstripe shoes lately. I love a dress with clean, chic sneakers and this dress is great because you can use it as a simple staple for whatever look you're going for. For this shoot, I added a white denim jacket to compliment my crisp shoes and added some flowers for a little bit of extra color.
You can find these adorable shoes from target and a gray dress for your staples drawer here: As always, I'm talking about how I'm obsessed with pants. I keep saying it but this time I think I mean it: these pants are my actual favorites. I'm loving yellow this spring and I love palazzo pants with a cute crop top. I paired this floral outfit with some Guess sandal heels to dress it up so you can wear this to church, brunch, and Easter dinner!
I have been diving deep into this minimal street style thing, new year new you right? I love how chic neutral colors and simple pieces look together paired with a statement piece. When I was in Egypt last, I stocked up on all things Middle Easter style and picked up some super fun gold statement necklaces with some Egyptian flair. OUTFIT DETAILS:White Crop Top: Black 7 Jeans: Statement Necklaces: Find some like I found in EG here:
This top is my favorite, and I found it at a supermarket inside of a mall in Erbil, Iraq. True story. Spring is on its way back around, so I'm gradually moving back to pinks and lively colors again. You can't go wrong with Zara, even if it's from a grocery store. Outfit formula:chunky heels + Dark wash denim + Floral Blouse |

Its September! Which means everyone launching new collections and the trends will start rolling in. Vogue published their 25 lb. September edition, Fashion Week just happened, and now in Orange County, it's Style Week, so here's a little kick off.
This dress is an easy way to start switching from summer to fall in your closet. You don't have to go from bathing suits and off-the-shoulder sun dresses to breaking out your long boots and beanies, just transition with things like warmer tones, quarter sleeves, and midi dresses.

They're the coolest kids on the Christian clothing block! He>i has just one logo that they use for everything, but they really rock it. The famous "HE>i" is printed on hats, bags, shirts, and the ultimate way to be sure you're a Christian, with some vinyl car stickers. Add this to your lists people! It's a must go-to. They have store locations in Hale'iwa and Honolulu Hawaii, and one on PCH in Newport Beach. But if you can't jet set all the way to the islands, their online store carries everything.
Sone boho-outfit-inspo because you just have to mix it up sometimes. Here's the formula: crazy beach hair, lace and or something flowy, and denim.
I really can't help it anymore, I have off the shoulder fever. It's a gift and a curse. This flowy number is from Forever 22, along with the sandals, paired with a lighter wash denim. In love, cue the googly eyes for off the shoulder.
These strappy heels definitely qualify to be buy of the week material. They were two dollars. Two buckaroos people. Thrift stores in Newport Beach are where it's at. Strappy heels are perfect for seriously any outfit. A sundress like this, a formal dress for an event, boyfriend jeans and a statement necklace, they can do it all.
