On Friday night I went for impromptu pedicures with my bestie--I got opaque white which looks so fresh for Summer.
Afterwards I poked around a couple stores and the mall before meeting up with Marco for a late night dinner at Milestones. I'm kept it somewhat healthy with the salad but totally indulged in a couple cocktails!

O U T F I T D E E T S : TOP | BLACK SKINNIES (SIMILAR) | BRALETTE | NECKLACE (SIMILAR) | BAG | SHOES (LOVE THESE TOO) | SUNGLASSES
I'm a huge fan of black skinny pants and when I tried on these high-waisted ones (which are the same as the denim pair I have), I was immediately sold. Not only do they fit extremely well, they are inexpensive and have low pockets on the back so you don't get the dreaded 'mom-jeans butt'.
For the tee, I love the open arm-holes--wear a bralette underneath and have it peak out to up the cool factor and pair it with a statement necklace to add some interest.
Good morning ladies! I try to keep things pretty budget friendly around here, and only recently have started to incorporate a few bigger ticket items into my wardrobe. That said, I always love a good deal and while it's nice to have some pricier, quality items, trendier pieces are best when they are inexpensive.
All that to say, today I'm sharing budget-friendly styles from some of my favourite stores. These are pieces you can incorporate into your current wardrobe to freshen things up for Summer that won't break the bank!

Crochet or lace shorts have been a staple of mine for a few years (how amazing are these and these?), but if you're just jumping on that train, a neutral colour like black or white will work wonders all season long--dress them up with heels or down with gladiator sandals and a tee. Fringe and denim jackets are my go-to this year already and I love the edge of the belt detail on that one.
I purchased the bright blue peplum cut-out top in Vegas and absolutely love it--it's definitely an inexpensive statement piece. Bucket bags (see mine here), crochet, off-the-shoulder tops and distressed denim are all having a major moment right now so these will instantly refresh your closet.
Two more stores after the jump...
O U T F I T D E E T S : URBAN PLANET TOP (SIMILAR, WHITE, LOVE THIS ONE) | URBAN PLANET CAMI (SIMILAR) | URBAN PLANET SHORTS (SIMILAR) | WEDGES, SOLD OUT (PREVIOUSLY OWNED, SIMILAR) | BAG | SUNGLASSES
Confession: this is not my bag but it is now. My girlfriend came over on the weekend carrying this awesome fringe bag that I'd been eyeing but didn't pick up and it made me fall harder for it. You know when you see someone else wearing something you weren't sure of, and it kind of seals the deal? This bag (and also this one too) was it for me. She kindly let me borrow it to shoot this outfit and I went out and purchased it the next day! I love how the fringe lightens the mood of the look.
Secondly, this isn't an actual twin set, but I loved the look of crochet on crochet so I went for it. Funnily enough, all of these pieces came from the same store, but over the last four years (remember when I first got these shorts? Fun fact: I wore them on my first date with Marco).
On Friday night, we had six of our friends over for a home-made pizza night. Everyone brought something--salad, desserts, appetizers--and Marco whipped up his signature Italian style pizzas which were a huge hit.
