Happy Monday guys!! I’ve been wanting to get back into the swing of posting my daily looks here so I decided to start posting a weekly recap roundup of my outfits from the week before. If you want links a little faster, I always try to add to my LTK so you can shop directly there, but I’ll also be compiling them here along with sizing info, what I love about it, and any other info to try to answer questions you guys might have.

The store’s interiors are characterized by natural materials with fine-grained surfaces such as travertine, textured plaster and oak wood, enhanced by contrasting steel details.
