Gimmie That Look: Elisa Johnson

Hi readers! As many of you know the world is at a weird place right now and with everyone doing self-isolation I have been thinking of ways to enhance the blog and more creative things to post, so I can up with “Gimmie That Look”.

The idea around “Gimmie That Look” is that I will different outfits from different celebrities and/or influencers and then I will find dupes for their outfits for cheaper and more accessible. Many of us want to enhance our closets or look chicer and this is a way to find cute outfits for when all this mess is over and done with.

First up is Elisa (of course). I love Elisa’s style and I have picked 3 outfits that I love and will find dupes.

OUTFIT #1

In this first outfit, Elisa has on a custom corset top from a NY based brand BANDE NYC and jeans from Y/Project with a pair of black booties and a black purse. So in this recreation, I decided to pick some budget-friendly pieces that won’t break our pockets. The corset top is from Dolls Kill and I styled it with these tailored straight-leg pants from ASOS and a black leather bootie and a mini bag from ASOS as well.

OUTFIT#2

This second look is Elisa at the Lanvin grand opening back in 2019. Her button-up dress is Lanvin and she paired it with a Maison Margiela trench. Her shoes are from a brand named Paris Texas based in Italy and mini yellow bag. The recreation I found was a little difficult. I found this white button-up dress from PrettyLittleThing and paired it with a black trench from Zara. Now I could not find an affordable pair of dark green crocodile boots, but I did find this black pair from PrettyLittleThing and they look so cuteeee and I found this yellow bag from FashionNova.

OUTFIT #3

This last outfit is something that I would personally wear tbh. Elisa has on a Harley Davidson tee with an Alexander McQueen corset waist belt. The jeans are from RE/DONE and her shoes are Alexander McQueen as well. In my recreation, I found a different graphic tee from Urban Outfitters and paired it with a waist belt from ASOS. The light-washed mom jeans are from Zara and the black booties are from Zara as well.

This is going to be something I continue each week. Make sure yall go follow Elisa on Instagram and get some more fashion inspiration. If you have any person you want me to recreate next leave a comment or DM via Instagram

The "Bushwick Birkin"

With NYFW have ended a lot of trends have been bringing themselves to the surface via social media. One of them being the “Bushwick Birkin” or Telfar Global shopping bags. So if you haven’t been living under a rock you would have noticed the incline of brand Telfar Global’s presence via Instagram. Not only are all the “it” influencers rocking their super cute shopping bags, but by them being so affordable literally EVERYONE is copping a Telfar bag. With prices ranging from $150-$300, it is a very pocket-friendly bag.

The name “Bushwick Birkin” comes from the rise of the scene in the area of Brooklyn named Bushwick, where a lot of younger creative individuals live, purchasing the bag. With stores like Opening Ceremony bringing more hype to the bag by having them for sale in-store. Influencers like the Clermont Twins to an artist like Rico Nasty showcasing the many ways to rock the bag. Telfar Global has brought us the new universal bag for the new season. The brand themselves are NY based and very inclusive to who they work with. We need more brands that are closed-minded to the different shapes, sizes, and colors here in society today. Make sure to hop to www.shop.telfar.com to grab your bag ASAP. 

​Can you say SOLD OUT!! Cardi B x Fashion Nova

As we know Fashion Nova has grown into one of the most popular places to shop in 2018. As we also know, Cardi B's career has taken off in 2018 as well. So of course it made sense for Fashion Nova & Cardi to collaborate. Last week they release that collaboration and sold out immediately! All 82 pieces were gone in minutes.

Now I love Fashion Nova, and with the popularity of Cardi B, I knew that the line would do well. There was mix of Cardi B's personality with the Fashion Nova price point. They gave so many versatile looks, from fur coats to classy two piece sets, with popping vibrant colors.

I look forward to a rerelease and to actually getting my hands on at least one piece!

Congratulations to Cardi B on a great collaboration.
