Hey friends, today I wanted to share my latest SHEIN summer pieces with you in hopes to give you some summer style inspo! As you all know I absolutely love SHEIN because of their massive selection of clothes and accessories, as well as their low prices. If you want to save even more, you can use my discount code  Q3YGJESS  to get 15% off your entire order!

Now, let's get into fashion...


Flutter Sleeve Frill Trim Tiered Dress - Wearing this dress in a size Medium and it fits TTS. I've really been loving soft blues lately and this dress fits right into what I like. This dress is super comfortable thanks to its elastic waistband. The material is lightweight and airy making it perfect for warmer weather. I also love how much movement this dress gives from the flutter sleeves and tiered detail.


Loafer Mules - Got these in a size EUR40 and they fit TTS. For size reference I'm a size 8. These loafer mules were a staple I was missing in my closet. I got these in a neutral color for versatile styling. They're also a timeless design which means I'll be able to wear them for years to come. The quality of these is incredible and they're only under $25 with my discount code.


Puff Sleeve Tie Front Crop Top - Wearing this top in a size Medium and it fits TTS. Statement sleeves and tie front tops have been my jam this summer and this top combines both of my loves in one. It's safe to say I'm obsessed with this top. The material of this piece is 100% cotton which means it's breathable - very ideal for summer.


Figure Print Tee - Wearing this tee in a size Medium and it fits TTS. My favorite way to style graphic tees is with a pair of biker shorts and chunky sneakers. This top is super comfy, soft, and really good quality. I also love the minimalist line art graphic on it so much, it's honestly what sold me on this one!


Plunging Neck Tie Front Peplum Top - Wearing this top in a size Medium and it fits TTS. I found this top to be super interesting because of its midsection cutout and tie front closure. It's definitely a very unique top, but that's why I like it so much! The material of this one is lightweight and the neutral color makes it easy for me to pair with blue or white denim.


Lapel Collar One-Button Blazer + Pant Set - Wearing this set in a size Medium and it fits TTS. I am a sucker for a matching set and this one is no exception. It makes me feel super elegant while still remaining comfortable. The one-button detail on the blazer gives this set a very sexy touch, which I'm here for. The pants have an elastic waistband, making them really comfy, and the pants have pockets!


Notched Collar Single Breasted Blouse + Wide Leg Pant Set - Wearing this set in a size Medium and it fits TTS. Are you at all surprised that I picked another matching set? Because I'm not! The salmon color of this set is what really sold me. Now I'm not one for many colors in my wardrobe but I couldn't resist this one. The top closes with two buttons (I only closed one for a deep-V vibe) and the top also has one pocket. The pants have a side zipper closure and pockets as well. Just as all the other pieces I've selected, this one also has a lightweight fabric.


Wide Leg Striped Cropped Pants - Wearing these pants in a size Medium and they fit TTS. To say that I'm in love with the fit of these pants is an understatement. These bottoms fit me so well, I want to believe they were made for me! I absolutely love their neutral color palette, the wide leg, high-waist, deep pockets, and front button detail. These have a side zipper closure.

I can confidently say that I'm in love with every piece I chose and I hope you loved some of these too. That wraps up my summer picks from SHEIN. Let me know which piece was your favorite!

Until next time friends, take care!

Hey babes, how are you doing? I hope well. A few weeks ago I was on the SHEIN website and I came across these designer dupes and I had to share them on here with you guys! P.S. The first place I go to share any news is Instagram, so be sure to follow me over on there to be the first to know about more designer dupes, sales, and more.

We all know that most designer bags can be really expensive so when I find a good dupe, I'm thrilled! Both of the dupes in today's blog post are UNDER $20, plus you can get an additional 15% off with my discount code:  Q3YGJESS 

The first dupe I found is this Chain Decor Quilted Satchel Bag, which is a dupe for the Mini Lady Dior handbag. The pros of this dupe are that it's good quality, the inside is spacious, the chain with the charms is cute, it comes with a removable strap, and it's very affordable. The con of this dupe is that the handles are really thin. You can see a video of this bag over on my SHEIN • 3 highlight on my Instagram.


The second dupe I found is this Croc Embossed Asymmetrical Tote Bag, which is a dupe for the Dior Saddle Bag. The pros of this dupe are that it's also good quality, the faux croc print is so chic, it comes with a removable strap, and it's very affordable. I don't have any cons for this one. You can see a video of this bag over on my SHEIN • 3 highlight on my Instagram.

That wraps up this blog post. I hope you liked both of these designer dupe finds. Comment which dupe is your favorite!

Until next time friends, take care.

Let's get into the details...


Paperbag Waist Belted Striped Shorts - Wearing these shorts in a size Medium and it fits TTS. These shorts have a relaxed fit which I think is ideal for warmer weather, two deep pockets, an attached belt to accentuate the waist and I also really like the neutral color and pattern. One thing I did notice about the material of these shorts is that it's a bit see-through.


Knot Hem Rib-Knit Crop Top - Wearing this top in a size Medium and it fits TTS. The material of this top is thin and lightweight making it ideal for upcoming hot summer weather. I also love the mustard-yellow color and tie-front detail. It's a super cute basic top.


Let me know which one of my latest additions was your favorite, I would love to know. I hope you enjoyed today's blog post and I hope you're staying home and staying safe.

Until next time friends, take care!

I might be in quarantine, like many of you, but that does not mean my love for fashion and styling is coming to a halt. Today I want to share with you my must-have shoes for the spring season (these also work for the summer season as well).

Over on Instagram, I posted an IGTV video where I style each pair so be sure to check that out. Below I've linked the shoes along with my discount code so you can save on these staples!


Buckle Flat Sandals - A neutral pair of casual slide-on sandals are a must-have for spring and summer. These have a minimalist design and the gold chain detail on them gives the sandal a luxe look, which I like. Their neutral color again, makes styling these very simple.


Those are all my must-have shoes for Spring. I have added a couple of pairs to my wishlist, one is a pair of black mules and the other is a pair of black slide-on sandals. My philosophy when it comes to shoe shopping is always to stick with neutral shoes. It's the safest bet as they can easily be paired with anything in your wardrobe and they can be worn throughout the years since neutrals are always in style.

Thank you for taking the time to check out this blog post. I hope you enjoyed the IGTV video as well. Follow me on Instagram for more styling videos. Until next time friends, take care!

The spring season is in full swing and now thanks to SHEIN my wardrobe is spring-ready! In today's blog post I'm going to be sharing with you the latest SHEIN Spring Collection pieces I've added to my closet, along with all the details. If you'd like to shop SHEIN, get an additional 15% off your order with my discount code:  Q3YGJESS 


Sweetheart Neckline Puff Sleeve Dress - Wearing this dress in a size Medium and it fits TTS. This dress is so flattering on the body, I adore it! The sweetheart neckline shows off the decollete very nicely, the side slit shows off a little leg, and the puffy sleeve detail is dreamy. The dress is fully lined and the floral print pattern is spring-appropriate. The fabric has no stretch and the dress zips closed on the side. I definitely see myself wearing this dress styled several ways by simply changing up the accessories + hair. // Strappy Block-Heel Mules


Flutter Sleeve Ruffle Hem Dalmatian Print Dress - Wearing this dress in a size Medium and it fits TTS. I've always been a huge fan of animal print and I think that this dalmatian print is a fun change from my go-to leopard print. The ruffle detailing all over this dress makes it really girly and gives the dress a nice movement. The fit of this dress is comfy but still accentuates the shape of my body. The fabric has a little stretch and the dress zips closed in the back. This is a dress I can see myself wearing all the way through summer. // Strappy Mules


Leopard High Waisted Bikini Swimsuit - This swimsuit is a size Medium and it fits TTS. I'm so thankful for high-waisted swimsuit bottoms because they're very flattering on my figure and these bottoms fit so well. The top of this swimsuit fits very nicely around the girls (for reference I'm a 34C) however it doesn't have a closing hinge in the back but the straps are adjustable.

Buckle Flat Slippers - The slippers are a size EUR39 and they fit TTS. For reference, I am a size 8. I was in major need of a neutral pair of flats like these that I could wear with more causal outfits through spring and summer and these are perfect! I really like the gold chain detail on them, it gives the flats a luxe look which is a nice touch.

Straw Plaited Bag - This is a must-have spring and summer accessory! It's just the right size, not too big and not too tiny. The shape is perfect and I love that it has a handle and a removable strap so I can wear it as a crossbody or tote.


Lapel Collar Flap Detail Blazer Short Set - Wearing this set in a size Medium and it fits TTS. Something about a blazer set makes me feel like a total boss babe. This white one is so stunning, the quality of it is incredible and the material has a good stretch to it. One of my favorite things about sets is that I can mix and match it with pieces I already own and this blazer is a piece I can definitely wear all year-round. // Strappy Block-Heel Mules // Metal Handle Bag


Tie Front Flounce Sleeve Top - Wearing this top in a size Medium and it fits TTS. Can we first talk about these sleeves? They are so fun and give me major 70s vibes which I am here for! One downside to these sleeves is that they can get in the way at times but other than that I think they're so cool. The color of this top is so pretty, it reminds me of sunshine, and the fabric is opaque and has no stretch. // Strappy Block-Heel Mules

Bleached Wash Raw Hem Ripped Denim Shorts - Wearing these shorts in a size Medium and they fit TTS. If you're looking for a pair of raw hemmed denim shorts that don't expose the booty, these are it!! I love that they cover my bum, are high-waisted, and I also really love the wash of the denim. Overall a great pair of shorts!

Straw Plaited Bag - This is a must-have spring and summer accessory! It's just the right size, not too big and not too tiny. The shape is perfect and I love that it has a handle and a removable strap so I can wear it as a crossbody or tote.


Ruched Drawstring Peplum Top - Wearing this top in a size Medium and it fits TTS. If you couldn't tell by now I am loving statement sleeves this year and this top gives me just what I want! The sleeves on this top are so dreamy with its sheer material, polka-dot pattern, and flounce sleeve detail. I am in awe! Not only is this top dreamy but it's also very flattering with its peplum silhouette and drawstring neckline. The fabric has no stretch and the top zips closed on the side.


Blazer Short Set - Wearing this set in a size Medium and it fits TTS. The color of this set screams spring and summer, I just love how fun and vibrant it is. The material is lightweight and breathable, and the fabric has no stretch. The fit of the blazer is loose and comfy and the shorts have an elastic waistband making them comfy to wear as well. // Strappy Mules



Rolled Hem Pleated Belted Shorts - Wearing these shorts in a size Medium and they fit TTS. A big trend this season is utility wear and these shorts tie in perfectly with that trend! They are so comfortable and roomy with an elastic waistband and thick belt that helps to accentuates the waist. Their neutral color makes them easy to style with so many pieces in my closet.

I can't wait to wear all these pieces out! I hope you enjoyed today's blog post. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and thank you to SHEIN for allowing me to pick my favorite pieces from their spring collection. Until next time friends, take care!

Over the last few weeks, I've been getting lots of messages with questions in regards to my IGTV videos so I decided to gather the top 3 most commonly asked questions and answered them in today's post. Let's jump right into it!

Q: What do you use to film your videos?
A: I use my iPhone 7 to film my videos because of it's auto-focusing capabilities. I was using my Nikon D5200 DSLR camera to film but found it very difficult to record with it because it didn't have auto-focusing capabilities. There is nothing more frustrating than filming an entire video then reviewing the file on the computer and realizing it's entirely out of focus and not usable footage. I will say however the biggest pro of using my DSLR camera was being able to adjust the lighting settings as wherewith an iPhone I can't do that. Other equipment that I use when filming is a tripod with an iPhone holder and studio lights. (See my filming setup over on today's IGTV video)

Equipment Links: Tripod // iPhone Mount // Ring Light // Soft Boxes

Q: What do you use to edit your videos?
A: I use the iMovie editing software, it's free for Apple users and available to download on most Apple devices. I find it the easiest to edit on my laptop. I have the Macbook Pro. I learned how to edit by watching YouTube tutorials, reading blog posts, and of course, it took lots of trial and error but practicing is the key. I'll link a tutorial and blog post that helped me learn how to edit below.

How I Learned To Edit on iMovie: YouTube Tutorial // Blog Post

Q: Where do you find music for your videos?
A: The easiest place to find music for me is by searching 'copyright free music' on YouTube. They have tons of songs and videos that usually have downloadable links in the description box of the video. I'll link a few of my favorite copyright free music channels below.

Copyright-free Music Channels: Channel 1 // Channel 2 // Channel 3

Those were the answers to my most commonly asked questions. If you have additional questions, feel free to ask and I'll happily answer. I hope you found today's blog post helpful. Until next time friends, take care!
