Romantic Florals

by Tinner in , , ,

Hi guys! Let’s talk about trends we’ve seen for a little while- “romantic florals,” open shoulder, high waist jeans and gladiators. They’ve been around for a while and they’re still in -it’s time to invest in them.

The shirt I’m wearing, I immediately fell in love with. I thought it was a really special top and this season I had always admired how special looking floral Zimmermann tops looked, but I never wanted to spend close to $500 on one Zimmermann top. This top was perfect because it had the floral pattern that I wanted and the silhouette that I wanted of the open shoulders and it was the perfect price for me. I got it on sale at Intermix, its Intermix’s exclusive line, and they had so many more floral items I loved at an affordable price.

The Intermix top I’m wearing looks pretty similar to the Zimmermann ones I love, so why is the Intermix one so much less? It’s because it’s Intermix’s exclusive line- they can mark their items lower, while producing items of the same quality because they are selling direct to consumer not wholesale. I highly recommend buying items that are direct to consumer like items from the Intermix exclusive line, “Bop Basics” on Shopbop or Aqua from Bloomingdales.

As for my jeans- I needed a new pair of ripped jeans and figured I’d give high-waisted a try! I’m so happy I did because I now pair them with almost anything; my shorter tops that need to be with a high jean and regular tops that I tuck in or let hang and cover the high waist. Mine are from Revolve, there’s no sale going on with Revolve right now but if you use the code “Tulip” you receive 15% off all merchandise that’s not a best seller or a new arrival.

Stay tuned later this week for my post for Fourth of July weekend essentials!

The (Sort of) Boyfriend Jeans

by Tinner in , ,

With every new season, old trends return and current trends evolve. As we head into Fall, distressed denim seems to be at the forefront of both old and new. I have always been a fan of a simple skinny jean or jegging and have been reluctant to try different shapes and styles with the concern they wouldn't be flattering for my body (i.e. boyfriend jeans). Nevertheless, always fun to try trends that bring you out of your comfort zone a little bite. In an attempt to find boyfriend jeans that I could wear while traveling abroad, I stumbled across these baggy jeans that aren't quite boyfriend but have the same effect. Because they still have some shape, they aren't as unflattering as boyfriend jeans can sometimes be. And though the rips are somewhat aggressive, you can wear them as a fun beach look, chic European look, or even a little more conservative look with a simple, oversized button down (as pictured).

I am usually a huge fan of color and simple gold jewelry, as I like and feel most comfortable in it. This look, however, was one of my favorites from the summer and something completely out of my usual repertoire. The big staple necklace and cuff were really fun and I used the heels to bring it all together. I also really thought that my Warby Parker glasses were a fun addition and constantly try to remind myself that glasses can also be used to accessorize. 

As I head into my second week studying abroad in Italy, I made another unconventional purchase; ripped, light wash, overalls. Stay tuned to see how I style them and combine my desire to be ~European chic~ with my personal style!

Navigating SHOPBOP

by Tinner in , ,

Shopbop always offers a really nice selection of pieces and accessories coming from an array of designers and incorporating a variety of different styles. They also always have an incredible sale that is filled with rows upon rows of really cute shoes, tops, dresses and everything in between. However, my biggest issue with their sale is that it takes at least a full hour to sort through the 40 pages of apparel that are on sale. 

SO, to make everyones life a little bit easier, we pulled a few items that we've been eyeing for a while. Click the links below to see if there are any you love!

THE White Jean

As the weather gets warmer and we are confronted with the inevitable reality of facing our white jeans, it's always exciting to look into different styles that you'll be excited about wearing throughout the spring and summer. On our spring break a couple weeks ago, we couldn't avoid taking away from some beach time to shop at the amazing stores in Palm Beach (unfortunately just sticking to just window shopping on Worth Avenue,) and Izzy found these amazing AG white jeans on sale at Calypso. I know for me, when I buy white jeans, comfort is the first thing I look for and these ones are not only flattering and look amazing, but they're soft material makes them as comfortable as a pair of leggings. AG has an incredible selection of white jeans that makes it THE place to start when searching for the perfect pair for you.

One of the many things that Tay and I have learned since we started Tinner over a year ago is the different ways to alter and add to our own personal styles based on the unique fashion choices of our friends and peers. Izzy has somewhat of a preppier style than our usual style, often rocking  a cute button down and sweater or putting together other stylish but preppy items that I would never initially think of but that I'm obsessed with.

Here, Izzy rocks an "oversized" (normal sized on the rest of us,) J. Crew pullover collared shirt with her new AGs and her favorite Stubbs & Wootton flats. Paired with the crowd favorite Illesteva sunny Gs, simply gold jewelry, and pearls, this look is perfect for a beach bonfire or for class as we finally transition into spring here in Virginia. 

Stay tuned for a post this week with our top ten favorite sunglasses right now, including these bold Illestevas, all at affordable prices and unique styles that are perfect for the upcoming warm weather!  

Cheetah Trend

by Tinner in , , ,

Over time, cheetah print has developed into a fashion trend that is no longer perceived as tacky or cheap but as chic and high-fashion. Companies all over the world are taking the Cheetah trend to a new level with pieces such as these espadrille flats, bags, jewelry and jackets. The key to tastefully wearing cheetah is pairing them with pieces that are simple and neutral. Too much cheetah can be overwhelming so when trying to find the right thing to wear it with, really take the time to think about how the outfit will come together.

Try other animal prints (like this python bracelet) or the leopard Supergas we posted about before, to bring life to any simple outfit!

Necklace ($58.00) || Ring ($225.00) || Shoes ($205.00) || Sweater (similar-$70.00) ||

Jeans ($24.90)  || Wallet ($195.00) || Parka ($78.00) || Sunglasses ($145.00) || Fur Coat ($128.00) || Wrap Bracelet ($95.00)
