Haven’t visited Citadel Outlets yet? Don’t worry! There’s still time to stop and get set for summer with the season’s hottest apparel and accessories from some of the greatest brands at Citadel Outlets – Kenneth Cole, Foreign Exchange, and Levi’s.
I collaborated with these three amazing brands. All very different and unique, but definitely ready for summer! We gathered day and night looks for you to enjoy. Let’s get started…
Kenneth Cole is day-to-night, wear-to-work fashion. Their collection of clothing, footwear and accessories is renowned for its unique style that’s iconic and sophisticated. I LOVE sophisticated looks, and I guess I get it from my mama. She owns so many Kenneth Cole Dresses.
As soon as I walked in the store, a spearmint color blouse caught my eye. The silk sleeveless blouse with a detailed ruffle in front was stunning. I paired it with the sandstone pants, which are extremely comfortable and stylish for a day out with your friends, and some comfortable taupe sandals. I also wore a silver spiky necklace. To finish the look, I added a citron color tote bag, as statement piece. Doesn’t it look more alive?

Talking about statement pieces… I think they are the most interesting, attractive, and eye-catching element of your outfit. That is why in the next outfit I decided to use a blue wristlet purse with a beautiful yellow sleeveless dress. The quality was amazing, and it truly flatters your shape! Since the two tones (purse and dress) were already enough color, I wore black pumps and accessorized with a pair of long dangle gold earrings. Tell me you wouldn’t stand out so beautifully wearing this sophisticated, modern style from Kenneth Cole?

{For both looks, I had a fishtail braid because with summer, I want to keep cool, but still spice up my look. The fishtail braid is so in right now, and I love how classy and elegant it looks.}
I must confess! Anytime I have planned a trip to Las Vegas, I turn to Foreign Exchange for some online shopping (yup, I also get online shopping addiction from my mama). Foreign Exchange is based out of Santa Fe Springs, which is close to home, and my packages get delivered within the next day. It’s always enough time to see if it works, or exchange it. Foreign Exchange states they unify different cultures and diversity through fashion, which is true! There are a variety of styles you can shop for… Boho, Elegant, Bold, Polished, Classic, and the list may go on. Their store features items designed and created by individuals from all over the world, and Foreign Exchange has a private line as well. {Visit your nearest Foreign Exchange, and get 20% OFF with your student id.}
For the day look, I wore a beautiful ivory boho maxi dress. Maxi dresses are the perfect seasonal fashion ensemble – light, airy, and stylish. It’s definitely my throw it on and go wardrobe essential. When I was handed this item, I fell in LOVE with the lace/crotchet detail. I am obsessed with anything and everything crotchet. I didn’t want to accessorize much because I didn’t want to take away from the goddess look. So for shoes, I wore simple nude sandals. However, I HAD to add a gold head jewel and gold bangles. Isn’t it perfect for this weather?

{For this look, I had my hair down, parted in the middle and simply styled it with the hair jewel.}
I did the complete opposite for the night look. I wore lots of color. The jumpsuits main color was ivory mixed with pink, blue and gray. And just like maxi dresses, rompers are amazing! For accessories, I added a pair of beautiful, blue earrings and a blue crossbody bag. Since there was a lot of color already going on, I wore taupe color platforms. LOVED them! As I mentioned in a previous post, I love wearing heels on most days because I love adding height. Well, these 6in. heel with 2in toe platform do the job, and they are perfect for a night out!

{For this look, my hair was up in a side ponytail with a section of my hair wrapped around the base of the ponytail. I wanted to keep my hair away from my face, so it wouldn’t take away from the colorful outfit}
“¡Usa tus Levis!” (Wear your Levi’s!) is what my mama would tell me growing up, when she would refer to jeans. Didn’t matter the brand, she referred to jeans as Levi’s. Just like some people refer to diapers as Pampers. Levi’s is an all American brand that is well-known for their denim jeans. However, you are mistaken if you think that is all they offer!
Summer is all about color. So, I made sure to use color and embrace what Levi’s is known for… Jeans! My favorite color is turquoise, so I loved these jeans short. They were so comfortable and vivid. I wore a simple white tank top with a sunset color orange wrap that is easy to layer, and brown sandals with braided detail. Doesn’t this outfit just yell out S-U-M-M-E-R!!!!

Now, although I love heels, there are days where I just need to take a breather and relax. Don’t think just because you don’t wear heels, it doesn’t mean you can’t dress up for a night out! For Levi’s night look, I wore brown sandals with detailed hot pink tribal designs and their modern demi curve skinny jeans, which felt like they were made for me! So PERFECT! I am a fan of button down shirts, and this white classic button down shirt was no exemption. To dress it up, I wore a nice hot pink with beige purse. It’s all about statement pieces remember?

{For both looks, my hair was down with big waved curls to give it not only the summer look, but the all American look, Levi’s stands for.}
I would like to give a special thanks to Ali Dausher, who did a magnificent job with my hair and make-up. As well as Citadel Outlets, and these three wonderful brands – Kenneth Cole, Foreign Exchange, and Levi’s. What’s your favorite outfit?
