la creme


Laziness and the thick air of humid heat have beaten me down to wearing as minimal basics as possible just to get through the day, without feeling the sweat and discomfort of extra layers and frills. Pretty sight, right? But even with the simplest basics, dress it up! I switched out the old staple denim shorts for some vintage-inspired lace by Tulle that keeps it lightweight and cute. And instantly chic up your lazy look with pointy heels. By the way have you been spotting these Zara heels around the blogosphere? It's like the bloggerhood of the traveling heels every season with a certain pair of Zaras. These are just so amazing for the price - so Alexander Wang. You need to grab it before it never comes back. I honestly regretted not getting the black strappy Zaras from last season, but this definitely makes up for it. And to top the whole basic outfit off, I added the necessary pop of color with my trusty, scarlet red Foley + Corinna mid-city tote.

shirt: (c/o) Wildlife Works
shorts: (c/o) Tulle
heels: Zara
bag: Foley + Corinna 'Mid City'
spike bracelet: ASOS

    I bought a pair of crochet shorts from Zara and they're amazing, I think Zara should just be considered as clothing shop of the year to be honest! ;) x

    To be honest Stephanie, when I first saw the title of this post, I automatically thought of food.
    Whipped cream? Yum!
    Or maybe not.

    Even though this post isn't about food (wahhh), your outfit is cute enough to make up for that!
    Those lace shorts are so adorable and look really good paired with the white T. All the focus is on the shorts but then you kick up the elegance of this look with those cute Zara heels and add a fun pop of color via the bag. Awesome outfit!

    Those Zara heels are super chic and definitely very Alexander Wangish. I think I may have seen them on another blog or two...you're definitely right on about the whole bloggerhood of the traveling shoes thing.
    Every time I see a cute pair of Zara heels and try to buy them, they're all sold out of my size!
    Sigh.

    I've been debating about those Zaras for a while... if the heel was just a little higher I wouldn't hesitate!

    black + white + a pop of red... so chic! Love those Zara heels, but I really only do 3" and up... on the fence still, although you make them look fab!

    I've always been a fan of a pop of red on a black outfit, but I never thought to try a pop of red with a white one! It seems that Zara releases a pair of shoes that blow up the blogosphere every season.
