{casual with nikki e designs}


There's nothing I love more than a casual look that still packs a punch.

You guys may have seen my "sneak peek" on Instagram yesterday of this amazing ring by Nikki E. Designs!! I love love love layering rings and this one fits me perfectly. Paired with the bracelets it creates such a fun, casual, easy-go-lucky look. The bracelets are made with nice heavy beads and quality materials. I actually took these for a spin before photographing them (something I normally do to make sure I actually enjoy wearing them - hey, I give y'all my honest opinion) and got a lot of compliments on their fun spirit! One of the coolest things about Nikki, the creator and designer, is that she's an architect by day!! When I saw that I knew I had to work with her. It's so inspiring to see people work full time and still pursue their daydream (that's kind of how I think of my blog). Did you know that 20% of all sales are donated to the Leukemia & Lymphoma society? Yeah… Not only is she talented but she's sweet and caring too! Make sure you check out her Etsy page and follow her on Instagram! I love seeing the way she layers her bracelets.

On another note, I wear these cardigan style "shrugs" more than is socially acceptable… I swear I have like five of them and never think I have enough… I just can't help it! They're so comfortable and totally transform an outfit to casual chic when you throw one on. I feel very Olivia Pope-esque in them and love to lounge around with one wrapped around me! I highly recommend adding one to your closet :)

Love Always,

    1. Thank you, Alyssa!! These booties are my favorites... so comfortable and I love the low heel :)
      Isn't Nikki the greatest? I think it's so awesome that she's doing this as a second job and still finding the time to donate part of her proceeds!

    1. That's exactly why I love it as well! Simplicity is key with good staple pieces (sometimes haha). Nikki was fabulous to work with and I loved how the three pieces she sent me all went together without seeming too matchy-matchy! Thanks for reading, Nidhi!
