Edgy and Trendy: Studs & Spikes

Recently I have been seeing a lot more of the studs and spikes trend; both in stores, and in my own closet. What can I say, I am absolutely in love with it! It's both chic & edgy, while at the same time, wearing it makes me feel both, more daring, and more badass. I know it might sound silly, but honestly that's what I love about fashion; it has the ability to completely change the way you feel, and think about yourself. 

As many of you may have been able to tell from my most recent post, in which I showed pictures of my purchases from Forever 21, I somehow managed to purchase pieces in which nearly every single one had either studs or spikes on it, which is definitely saying something about my love for this trend. Not to mention that I already owned a few other pieces that sport this particular style, even before my recent shopping excursion, and I definitely plan on purchasing many more pieces with studs and spikes in the coming months. So yeah, I guess you could say I'm a tad obsessed! 

Studs and spikes are such a fun and trendy way to add some edginess to an otherwise plain, or girly outfit. I absolutely love finding pieces like a floral dress, or a pair of colored shorts that have stud detailing on them. It's so different, and unexpected, and yet so perfect. 

So if you want to add a touch of edginess to your wardrobe this spring/summer season why not?! Be bold, be daring, go ahead, buy some clothing pieces with studs and spikes, release your inner badass. You know you want too.

Love Culture Lovin'

When it comes to online shopping I generally go for the same few stores, but recently I discovered a new one that I have completely fallen in love with. Love Culture. For all of you out there who like me, absolutely love finding new (affordable), online stores to shop at, this store is perfect! I don't know how I didn't discover it sooner, because it's seriously amazing. I cannot get enough of their clothing! It's so on point with my style, and pretty affordable too. Trendy, and inexpensive, I mean what can get better than that?! 

I wanted to share with you guys one of my favorite outfits that I found while browsing their site. Not that I didn't love pretty much everything (because I did), but this outfit in particular really caught my eye. I just love it so so much! It incorporates so many of this seasons trends (black&white, leather, a pop of color), while at the same time being 'simple' enough that almost anyone could wear this anywhere/anytime, and look amazing!

Now I'm sure some of you already knew of, or have shopped at Love Culture before, but I wanted to share this for those of you who hadn't. So if you've never checked out there website before, you definitely should! Trust me, it's worth some time browsing. 

Love Culture is Definitely my newest clothing obsession, and although my bank account may not be happy about this recent discovery, I know I sure am. :)
