This Site is All of Your Fave Stores in One

If you know me personally I am always shopping online and sometimes I prefer online shopping for many reasons. But whenever you're shopping online do you always find yourself with a bunch of tabs open to different stores? Yea me too. Well, thanks to Octer the multiple tab struggle has been solved and you can now shop your favorite online stores in the same place.

Octer is all about making online shopping simple and easy. With well-known stores like Topshop, Nordstrom, MissSelfridges and over 8,000 brands, you can shop them all at once. Another great feature is that you can compare prices of similar styles to make sure you're getting the bang for your buck. And if you're shopping on the go -which I find very convenient- you can download the Octer app on Apple or Google Play. 

Finding the perfect pair of shoes couldn't be easier!

Lately, I've been looking for a new pair of ankle boots as I'm gearing up for the fall/winter season and Octer has made my shopping experience very seamless and easy. The new season has been calling for crushed velvet styles or the glorious accent heel. I haven't quite decided what look I want to go for this upcoming fall, but I have been shopping Topshop and Nordstrom on Octer comparing prices and searching for the best boot. Here's a collection of a few styles that may potentially have a spot in my closet.

I N S P I R A T I O N: My Top 7 Spring 2016 Must Haves

Spring has finally arrived! Yay for color and less coat wearing. I'm super excited for the Spring season(if you can't already tell) because it's a great start to try out new styles and looks.

This season I'm totally loving prints and interesting cuts of different pieces so I wanted to share my top 7 Spring must haves. 

-H&M Jeans-

1//Kick Flare Jeans | The kick flare jean is a nice upgrade from the flare leg jeans because they are a cropped style which is perfect for the Spring season. This cut of denim looks great on everybody type and adds length to your legs if paired with a cute heel. Things to look for in finding the perfect kick flare jeans is to make sure that they're cropped right above the ankle and the distressing is kept to a minimum.

-Keepsake Top-

2//Off the Shoulder Top | There's nothing like finally being able to show off some skin with the new season and off the shoulder tops are perfect for just that. Floral printed OTS (off the shoulder) tops are totally groundbreaking for Spring...duhhh...but also super flattering on everyone. Also, a cropped OTS top looks great with high waisted denim or pencil skirts.

-Topshop Shoes-

3//Lace Up Pointy Shoes | The lace up trend has been seen on everything from tops, dresses, denim, and more. This season I'm liking the trend more on pointy-toed shoes rather than on clothes because I think that the lace up look is very chic when on a shoe. I also really love the low chunky heel look and pairing it with kick flare jeans is a great combo. 

-Zara Pants-

4//Floral Pants | Florals...I know...but you can't run away from the print. A great way to incorporate florals is with a pair of loose fitting pants instead of opting for the typical Spring floral dress. Also, think vacation looks 2016, strolling around Barcelona in an airy floral pant and your fave sandals #yaaaas! 

-ALDO Boots-

5//Platform Ankle Boots | Believe it or not, but platform ankle boots are totally still hot. Talk about instant legs for days! This 70's style boot is perfect for Spring because you could totally wear these with flared jeans or a floral mini dress. Also, transitioning these to wear in the colder months will be so easy. 

-Gentle Monster Sunglasses-

6//Colored Lens Sunglasses | It's ok if you have to throw shade because it's sunny...hehe. But really a fun way to add color to your life is with a pair of colored lens sunnies. Plus this style is a great alternative to the mirrored style. And to really have some fun opt for a pair that has a cool shape like cat eyes or even big round ones. 

-ASOS Purse-

7//Novelty Bag | Ok so yes, bucket bags are all the rave now but what about something that's really daring and way more fun? Yep, I declare the novelty bag is making it's way and I'm glad it is. I love this style because it's a great statement accessory and just darn cute!

Over the weekend I went to Soho with my sister to do a little shopping. I definitely spent more than I anticipated, but I'm satisfied. I must say that the best purchase were the lace up oxfords. I have been looking for a pair for quite a while. So glad that my sister spotted them-shopping with two pairs of eyes is always beneficial. They were on sale for a decent price of $30! But the craziest part about the oxfords is that this lady was trying to buy the same size as me-they were the last pair. The lady kindly told me to enjoy them because she had bought the same ones some time ago, and  suggested that they were the best shoes ever. She told me that when she bought her first pair she wore them to death to the point that she busted a hole in them. Mine were supposed to be her second pair. So kudos to her for being so nice to let me have my first pair.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. :D

L I F E: recent purchases

-skirt: mystique boutique|shorts: urban outfitters|top: mystique boutique|converse: journeys|camera: urban outfitters

Did some light shopping this weekend because I worked really hard and it was needed, haha. I have been wanting to find a circle/skater skirt for the longest, although American Apparel had them but aren't college girl budget friendly. Instead I chanced upon this boutique that had the skirts for more than half the price. Now I know shorts and crop tops aren't for NY weather but buying summer clothes in the fall/winter are so much cheaper, and the same for buying fall/winter clothes in the summer. The camera is a disposable that I randomly found at UO and thought it'd be perfect for the Halloween party I'm going to tonight. The cool thing about the camera is that the film has graphics that appear on your photos. Hopefully I can get some rad Halloween pictures. And the converse are for work, unfortunately. Anyway hope everyone is having an awesome weekend as I am and get wild because I sure will (doesn't include any alcohol/drug consumption) haha! 

xx,

Alicia
