Love Culture: Review

For those of you who are new to the store "Love Culture" this is a post for you! Many have said that it is a cross from Forever 21 and H&M.... I would have to disagree. Here's why:

I had never walked into a Love Culture store until last week and again a few days ago. It was huge! and at first I thought I found another awesome store to buy cute affordable pieces! But I looked everywhere trying to find that special something that I could just fall in love with. I was so disappointed when it wasn't there. Of course I thought to myself that I will just return again when I had more time. So I did and this time I checked out their jewelry. I have to admit very bold jewelry but the materials used look so cheap. I was again disappointed. The metal was just too shiney for my taste. The bags looked very sturdy though and those ranged from $25-$35. 

I also saw super cute scarfs which are $8. 

I continued on my search and saw really nice blouses and some cute jean jackets. 

In my head I thought the prices would be more towards F21. In reality it was around $15-$30 for a shirt. Am I being too cheap or have I gotten use to F21 and their prices? 

I have no idea but in my opinion I think Forever 21 is completely different and in some ways better. 

Have you guys been to Love Culture?? What do you think? 

Any new store you recommend to me?

Bags!

There was a time when bags were my main obsession and if you notice these three categories have all been my obsession at any given point. Who can blame me when sometimes there are beautifully made goods that are eyes can't stop staring at! From Dolce & Gabbana to Tory Burch, they've all inspired amazing pieces! What's in trend now? Animal print. Sequins. Bright vivid neon colors. From clutches to overside totes. Bring out all the stops because it's gonna be huge this fall and spring!

Scarfs!

If there's one thing I people know me for it's for the scarfs! I love them and think they are so fashionable and seem to make any plain outfit instantly chic! I've been collecting scarfs since 09 when I first entered the Forever 21 store in New York. Who knew it's be love at first sight as my eyes settled on all the merchandise and it was in New York! I couldn't resist! 

  So for those fashionistas looking for a light weight accessory that won't be too much of a hassle scarfs are the way to go. 

They keep you warm and stylish in the winter. Choose chunkier material or larger scarfs. 

For the summer I'd opt for a silk scarf just to tie around your neck or even on the handle of your bag. You can also use a scarf around your wrist or as a headband. That's why I love scarfs, there's so many possibilities at any given moment! 

Here's some inspiration! Gucci Silk Scarf and chunky knitted scarfs

Shoes! 

The greatest accesory of them all! 

With Shoes you can be as crazy or as conservative as you want! But remember to be stylish always! I love shoes because they can brighten a plain black or neutral colored dress instantly! If you need a little help tying your outfit together or making in go over the edge then shoes can help you out! There are styles and colors for every single person! I love looking at new ones and finding amazing sales on beautiful shoes! 

Mega platforms, wedges, laces, bright colors, and also color blocking!

The New Yorker

 New York! One of the greatest cities in the world! And one of the best places to shop for awesome, eclectic  pieces of clothing! Oh I loved shopping there, hundreds of people on the streets, crowded in the stores(okay I didn't like that part. It's hard to get what you want and not get thrown on the floor lol) But I know it's worth the risk. Here are my favorite finds from my trip to NY. I can't wait to go back and thrift around new places! :) Happy Shopping!!
