My Nisolo Wishlist + End of Season Sale!

 

(Disclaimer: I’m an affiliate with Nisolo, so naturally this post contains affiliate links. I’d be honored if you chose to support me by shopping with my links.)

Nisolo is a brand I’ve loved for a while now. Ever since I set eyes upon their kiosk at the Mall at Green Hills back in 2017, I’ve been a huge fan of their beautiful, ethically crafted leather pieces and brass jewelry. Whenever I need a new pair of shoes, their website is the first place I look.

For the first time ever, their Warehouse Sale is going digital. Since you all hang out in my corner of the internet, you get early access to samples, factory seconds, discontinued designs, and summer bestsellers marked down to make room for a new season.

In case you need some inspiration, I made a list of what have my eye on. There are some pieces that have been marked down, but if the item you fall in love with isn’t already up to 50% off, you can use the code NEWSEASON for 15% off all items (excluding masks and cleaning supplies).

MY NISOLO WISHLIST

SOFT DIAMOND HOOP EARRINGS | $35

I was looking for an angular hoop, and when I saw these, I put them on my list immediately.

Amalia All Weather Boot in brown | $250

These boots would be perfect for soggy and mild Nashville winters. I love an androgynous boot, and the ones I currently own are on their last leg.

Mariella mule in sand | $170

This is a pair that I LOVE, but my doggy chomped them up. Trust me, I never leave my shoes on the floor anymore.


Isla.Slide.Sandal.Black.5_1100x.jpg

isla slide sandal in black | $90

The Isla slides were the first pair of shoes I purchased from Nisolo, but my doggy chewed these up too!


PIECES I ALREADY OWN (AND LOVE!)

LORI TOTE IN SAND | $170

Here’s a picture of the shoe-chomping culprit with the tote bag that I bring with me everywhere— airports, coffee shops, and other mundane places that you ought to wear a mask. Nisolo has a fine selection of masks as well, if you don’t have one already.

OPEN-TOE PALOMA MULES IN BLACK | $160

At the bottom of this post, I have a video where I style the Palomas! they’re so elegant. I feel instantly refined whenever I wear them.

LUISA CLUTCH IN NUTMEG | $50 (LAST CALL in this material for $40)

I brought this clutch with me on my anniversary dinner, and it’s just the right size for the essentials— phone, lipstick, wallet.


Thin.hammered.ring.w_1100x.jpg

BRASS HAMMERED RINGS | $25 (on sale for $21)

I never take these rings off. If you ever see a photo of my right hand, which is very rare, I wear a size 6 on my thumb and a size 5 on my ring finger.)


That’s everything, my friends. I hope you feel inspired to add some high quality, ethically and sustainably made shoes and accessories to your wardrobe. Pieces like these have elevated my everyday looks, and I’m excited to grow my Nisolo collection.

2020 Gamine Summer Style Inspiration

Here’s the thing about summer of 2020: I feel like there’s a leaning toward very frilly, girly, flowery dresses and blouses starting to emerge on my feed. I’ve found that these sorts of lines rarely look good on me because they’re too soft and not structured enough for my yang-leaning figure.

Now, I don’t see this as a problem or a disappointment, as there is a season for everything in life and fashion. But I’m going to choose to be the walking juxtaposition I am and wear whatever makes me feel beautiful, feminine, powerful, etc., which usually means wearing more structured, masculine lines. (I even made a Pinterest board about it. I update the board when the inspiration hits, so definitely follow me over there!)

All that said, here’s what I’m drawn to for the summer of 2020:

GENERAL VIBE: playing with short vs. long opposites, cropped, boxy styles, open backs, care-free, cropped linen, going bra-less, tailored short-suits, golden/bronzy makeup & skin

Some of these pieces pictured/mentioned are the actual item I’m hoping to pick up, some are just a vibe I’ll be thrifting around for. Actual items I’m hoping to purchase are linked! Affiliate links are denoted with an asterisk (*).


TOPS:

Breton Striped, boat neck long sleeve top. (cropped)

Square neck crop top

HUGE shirt that I steal from my Dad (or maybe thrift for)

All images in this grid from pinterest.

BOTTOMS:

Cut off shorts (high waist)

Black denim mini skirt (like this one from Everlane)

linen "trouser” shorts (Like these from Frank and Oak)

DRESSES:
