Outfit of the day: Pleated




Ring: YSL Arty Ring, bracelet: Betsey Johnson, watch: Michael Kors, sunglasses: vintage Dior

Shoes: Ann Taylor Loft, jacket/shirt/skirt: wholesale market, purse: Alexander Wang



Finally a new outfit post. I've been super busy in moving to a new place and trying to get settled and find a job and whatnot. Anywho, I don't know if you can really see the details, but I'm actually wearing a pleated skort. It's pretty much my new favorite thing EVER! I also wrote that I got my whole outfit from the wholesale market which is true. My mom runs her own boutique and she gets all the clothes from the wholesale market in LA and thanks to her I'm able to get all these boutique clothes at really cheap prices! Ooh, I also found these shoes that I bought in high school when I was back home and I re fell in love with them. How perfect are they? Oh and I cut my hair..hehe =] AND I got myself a little graduation gift in the form of this beautiful Rocco handbag from Alexander Wang. My new favorite thing in the whole wide world!

7 Summer Must-Haves

Summer is in full swing now and the sun is shining hot and bright. If you're anything like us here at ZooShoo, summer is a chance to shed those spring layers and really experiment with light materials like chiffon and cotton. However, as much fun as experimenting is there are a few must-haves that every girl should have to jumpstart her summer wardrobe.

Summer essentials
















1. Sundress - A must-have in any girl's summer closet, the sundress is perfect for the hot weather and can also double as a cover up when you're heading to the beach. Choose one in either a print or a solid color and you can't go wrong!

2. Denim cutoffs - Shorts are the summer equivalent to the jeans that we virtually live in year round. Find the right pair and guaranteed you will live in them all summer.

3. Swimsuit - How could you spend summer without the perfect swim suit? Whether heading to the beach, the pool, or just hanging out in the backyard, throw on your favorite swimwear, get a little tan, but don't forget to put on your sunscreen!

4. Hat - This must-have summer essential can double as sun protection or a fashion statement. Pick out a cute fedora like the one above or if you're a little more adventurous, find a big floppy sun hat which will be sure to get you a few compliments.

5. Flat sandals - These are a must in every girl's closet because if you find the right pair, they can be so versatile and worn with almost every outfit. Additionally, they are sure to give your feet a little bit of rest from the high heels you've been bouncing around town in.

6. Sunglasses - Though an accessory, they are definitely an essential. There are so many options out there, so pick one in your favorite shape and walk out the door in confidence. Additionally, if you're not feeling the makeup one day, just throw on some shades and skip the beauty routine for a day.

7. Day-to-night wedges - For those of you who prefer a heel to the flat sandal, wedges are a perfect alternative. Definitely the comfiest in the world of heels, you will surely impress while staying comfy at the same time.
These Bamboo Besexy Wedges are a perfect choice. The leopard print will be sure to get everyone's attention and they can easily transition from day to night!  You can also get in on another great trend and try to mix some prints with the great wedges!
