Look for Less: Oliver Peoples Sunnies

Published on by neverbeensoLeave a comment


Recently, I fell in love with Oliver Peoples; however, they are a little steep for my pocket, especially since I’ve neverbeenso horrendous at keeping track of sunglasses. I have sent far too many expensive sunnies to the SGY (sunglass grave yard – RIP). Other than the Ray-Bans I’ve managed to keep alive for more than 2 years, I mainly opt for cheaper pairs. So I got to the Google and came across a pair of Oliver Peoples inspired shades and decided to give them a shot. They are by Saint Noir and have the 80s inspired look I was going for in the After Midnight pair from Oliver Peoples. Granted, they aren’t the highest of quality, as it seems the nose pads are a bit flimsy, as well as the temples, but for a very mere fraction of the price, they’ll do the trick! Stay tuned for a post with some of my favorite budget-friendly sunnies for this upcoming season!

Boring Is Best 

Published on by neverbeenso3 Comments

Going out is fun, but those times when your plans consist of lounging at home with nothing to do is pretty high up on the scale too. And with Fuller House on Netflix today, that’s exactly what I plan to do tonight (who else has neverbeenso excited?!). 

Stay Home Club is a brand that celebrates just that, staying home and doing nothing – their logo is a woman surrounded by four cats, enough said. I snagged this ‘Boring Is Best’ tee from Brightside Boutique in Fells Point and I’ve neverbeenso happy to be boring. Links below.

This Collar is Everything

I don’t know about you, but I have neverbeenso ready for warmer weather. The simplicity of whites and statement jewelry are my uniform come spring. This Saphira Collar from Bauble Bar is the perfect addition to your closet this season. Pair it with a neutral linen and you’re golden. Links below.

Sale Alert: Sperry Shearwater Duck Boots 

Published on by neverbeenso1 Comment

Recently, I shared duck boots I found at Target that were a fraction of the price of the coveted L.L Beans [but as expected, of lesser quality]. However, during my recent Nordstrom Rack hunt, I scored a pair of Sperry Shearwater Duck Boots for almost half the price of the original and of exponentially better quality than those at Target.

I debated the idea of whether I needed them, but the second I put them on and discovered how much more comfortable they were than those at Target, it was a no-brainer. The Sperry’s look much more durable and snuggle my feet like a warm glove.  For only $79.97 |originally $150|, which is only $30 more than those at Target, they’ve neverbeenso worth it!

Now don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Target and if I didn’t find the Sperry’s at such a great price, I’d be happy with that pair, but for any of you duck boot hunters, I had to share!

I plan to live in these boots for the rest of winter (and spring time too!)! Paired with cozy sweaters, fleece-lined leggings and these leopard leather gloves, it may not be so bad |fingers crossed|.

Styling Blacks and Browns

Published on by neverbeenso1 Comment

I used to be so anti styling blacks and browns together, but now I can’t get enough of it! These Chelsea boots are my favorite shoes for doing so, as they already embrace the duo of colors and make any outfit complete! Not to mention they’re uber comfy!

I paired them with this ivory quilted jacket and the look came together beautifully! This anthro jacket is over 65% off! It’s no longer available online, but I’ve seen mass quantities of them in two stores, so if you have one close, check it out! It runs super big so I went with an XS and it’s still slouchy and cozy!

Culotte Comeback

Published on by neverbeensoLeave a comment

I have to say when I first started seeing culottes pop up, I instantly thought of gauchos and was reminded of my unhealthy (and regretful) obsession with wet seal – oh, college. However, the more I saw the styling of culottes, the more into them I became.

According to Wikipedia, culottes made their first appearance  “in France during the reign of Henry III (1574–1589).” 400+ years later, I find myself donning the same as these stylish Frenchmen.

I nabbed a pair from H&M [for only $14.99] and let’s just say, this may be a new (hopefully healthy) obsession. During the warm spell last week, I decided to try them out – neverbeenso comfortable! They have the great convertible aspect of a wide leg pant, without the hassle of having to wear heels high enough to avoid floor drags. Paired with a pair of flat booties to keep it casual enough for day or night. Paired with a baggy sweater, they also work in winter. Hell, they’re great for every season! So stock up while they’re on sale!

I could write an entire post with some of my favorites (keep an eye out for that one), but for now I’ll just share these beauts! Links below!

On Target #ootd

Published on by neverbeenso1 Comment

I am a BIG advocate for Target. I’m normally there to run errands anyway, so it’s often easy for me to run to the clothing department and pick up a piece or two to match with what I have at home. This look is entirely from Target and under $85 (these high-waisted pants?? yes, neverbeenso impressed)! Links below.

Look For Less: Duck Boots

Published on by neverbeenso2 Comments

I’ve wanted duck boots for awhile now, but every time I’ve gone to order them from L.L. Bean , they’re out of stock. Well no surprise, this Holiday season. My mom went to order them for me as a Christmas gift, and we were shocked that the arrive date was March 2016. I understand they are hand-made and for that reason, take extra time to create. However, that doesn’t mean I want to wait until March of next year for an item that I order now.

I finally told myself, I just wasn’t getting duck boots again this year. UNTIL, I was walking in Target yesterday, and saw a pair! I had to do a double-take because from far away they looked the exact same as the ones I’ve been pining after. I figured as I got close I would notice the problem. But there wasn’t one. Sure, they aren’t the same caliber of quality, but they’re also $50 cheaper and you can have them RIGHT NOW. If you’re using them mainly for fashion, it’s a no-brainer. I have a pair of sturdy hiking boots I wouldn’t trade for the world, so those are my go-tos for any type of trekking. I tried them on and they looked great!

FYI: I’m usually a 7.5 and the 7 fit me well. The 8 was a little too big.

So, why spend $100+ on duck boots, when you can get this pair at Target now for $50! They also have different styles and colors!
