BEACH TOTES: Summer 2023 | STAINED COUTURE

As I mentioned, I’m currently planning a beach vacation for late summer. This weekend, I did square away the room and rental car, which has me excited to go even more. However, now it’s time to start figuring out everything I need. Honestly, I think I have enough clothes, because I plan to loaf in shorts and bathing suits.

I wasn’t prepared the last time I went to the beach. It was a last minute invite and I didn’t have time to plan. Plus, I didn’t think that I would enjoy being on the beach for too long, because I don’t like heat. However, I was really wrong and it was so relaxing and perfectly warm. So, I plan to be laid out on the beach for an extended amount of time this time and know that I will need a beach bag.

You will need a beach tote to carry your essentials, such as towel, phone and summer books. Check out these fun beach totes for everyone.

Cute Adult Easter Dresses

29 March, 2023 Laytee Samida

It’s hard to believe that Easter is less than 2 weeks away. However, after spending the last 2 years watching Easter services from the comfort of my home, I decided to go in-person. Easter is the Super Bowl of holidays for churches. More people go to church on that one than any other day of the year, which is no shocker. Now that I know I’m going to go to service, I’ve been deciding on what to wear and landed on a dress. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been looking at so many Easter dresss online, but I’m looking for cute adult Easter dresses.

Of course, you can find dresses everywhere you turn, but finding the right dress that’s cute and not over the top cute can be hard. So, to purge my mind and bookmarks, I’ve decided to share 10 dress options. Just in case you’re still on the hunt for a new dress to wear for Easter.

Some of my favorite Easter shopping moments was my mom telling me the look that she was going for for me. lol I’ll never forget the nautical theme I had for Easter 1992 – complete with pearl earring and white straw hat with a nautical ribbon. I don’t know everything, but I do know that I will never wear another hat for Easter in my life. Despite my disdain for hats, I loved my Easter accessories. This year, I’m definitely buying a new straw tote bag to complete the look.

eSTYLIST: Spring Uniform 2023 | STAINED COUTURE

It’s finally my second favorite season; Spring! My favorite part of spring is the weather that starts off cool, bur5 eventually warms up to pleasant sunny day. Unfortunately, that pesky groundhog may have been right, because Winter weather is still lingering. However, I peeped the forecast, and the weather is supposed to be warm and sunny – just how I like it.

Although I’ve been wanting to start shopping for spring, it’s been hard to get in the spirit with cold and cloudy weather. Thankfully, the hope that that’s about to change has motivated me to start filling my online shopping carts. However, I want to start with getting pieces for my go-to look for spring – my seasonal spring uniform.

When I think of a seasonal uniform, I think more about the silhouette with pieces that you can interchange. Using the same shape but with different colors and textures give you more style options. This spring, I want to be all about the easy, casual and chic of jeans, oversized button up blouse with textured accessories.

On that note, here is the what I want my spring uniform to be for 2023.

eSTYLIST: Spring Uniform 2023

Distressed Bell Bottoms – I’ve been wanting a pair of bell bottoms for a while and I’m loving the distress of this pair.
Button-down Striped Poplin Shirt – You can ever go wrong with too many loose button ups, because can dress them up or down. Plus, so many colors and design, but I always fancy vertical stripe ones.
Large Woven Satchel – I’m obsessed with this bag and it was so close to being on my next LHL post, but it’s my dream spring bag, at the moment.
Mixed Media Bracelet Stack -Recently, I’ve started to want to bring bracelet stacks back into my daily wear. I love that this bracelet gives the look of stacks, but it’s only one piece.

Spring Jeans Trend 2023 | STAINED COUTURE

Do you realize that spring is just a week away?! Well, don’t worry if you didn’t, because I just realized it today! The fact that I had to defrost my car this morning didn’t help me realize it either. *insert eye roll*

I’m trying to not only prepare my mind that it’s almost spring, but also my closet. Unfortunately, my closet still very much looks like the oversized tees, sweats, and leggings. The look of being shut in from the pandemic in 2020 is still reigning. However, I have scored a couple cute tops recently, but it made me realize that I don’t really have any cute jeans. When I was younger, I only wore jeans. However, that became a wrap once it became acceptable to wear leggings everywhere and everyday.

However, I’m ready to start buying more jeans again and it’s actually a need now. The jeans th at I do have are kinda out of date (Hey, skinny jeans) and or they are too big. Your girl has dropped a size, which I can only tell by the way my clothes fit. Body dysmorphia is real in my world.

I’ve been paying attention to some of the latest trends and these styles apparently are going to be a big hit this spring. Kee reading to get all the details.
