His & Hers: Spring Lookbook

Since the Couple's Valentine's Lookbook did so well, I decide to keep up with the couples theme with a video series called His & Hers. For this month's His & Hers lookbook I decided to do 3 outfits where in each outfit we are wearing one piece that is the same. Of course mine are in a smaller size to work for me lol. I had so much fun styling and shooting this lookbook. Thank you to Seven Points and Media Playground PR for letting me play in their spring collections. I hope you all enjoy it! Pictures and all the outfit details are below the video.

Tips for "Matching" without Matching.

Go for a different color or wash
Try a different silhouette, i.e. shorter sleeve
Pair your piece with more feminine pieces

Pretty Glam Special + Radeo

A while back I was gifted these 3 pair of Pretty Glam Special undies from Medial Playground PR. These particular pairs feature artwork by Radeo. The designer pairs with artists to feature on her undies and tees for "wearable art". Other artists include Brad Warner, Wendy Ortiz and Miguel Paredes.

I've worn 2 out of the 3 pairs so far, Knotbot and Galaxy. First these undies are extremely comfortable. I didn't have any problems with rising up or bunching. I think my favorite would have to be the Galaxy, I love the sheer back and front fabric. I have to say I would love to try one of the tees as well, I have my eye on The City Tee.

Printed Peplum

Jacket H&M | Dress Hot & Delicious | Heels Aldo | Necklace Vintage | Bag Vintage Dooney & Bourke |
The other day I went out to eat with some friends and pulled out this oldie but goodie from my closet. I bought this dress on a rainy day while in Atlanta in 2010 while out to brunch and shopping with my friend Bria. I just remember it was the last one in the store so of course it was meant to be. The print and the back of this dress have to be my favorite parts. The back gives a peek with a triangular cutout, formed by the cross button closure.
What's one item in your closet you don't wear often but can't let go of?
