Undeniable Style on Bloglovin’!

by Kate Franco on June 12, 2013 · 2 comments

bloglovinJust a quick reminder! Google Reader is going away next month.

I’ve been using Bloglovin’ for a couple of months now and considering I was such a die hard Google Reader fan, I’m pretty impressed. The biggest perk? The design is much easier for scanning content, which is a big time saver! From the summary page, I can see at a glance  {via headline and image thumbnail} what posts I might be interested in.

Haven’t made the switch? Major kudos to Bloglovin’ for making it so easy: import all your Google Reader content to Bloglovin’ with just a few clicks. And of course, come and follow me! xox.

Spicing up a Plain White Tee

by Kate Franco on June 10, 2013 · 6 comments

add a little excitement to a plain white tee!snakeskin pants and plain white tee - undeniable styleankle strap sandal with lucite heel - undeniable stylealexander wang rocco - undeniable stylelayering different types of necklaces - undeniable stylealternative apparel cap sleeve plain white tee - undeniable styleI’ve been looking for a new plain white tee for at least 2 years. Seriously. At least once week I think, “You know what would go great with xyz outfit?”

The answer is always a plain white tee.

It’s not that they’re difficult to find, I just have a hard time spending money on the basics. They’re so un-fun to buy. No rush, no thrill of the chase, you get what I’m saying. Despite that, I AM pleased with my new plain white tee, thanks for asking. I find Alternative Apparel clothing has a great quality and weight. And I like the cut of this sleeveless tee quite a bit, too!

I added some spice with 3 different style necklaces: minimalist, tribal, and glamorous. Tough hardware on the bag. Extra interest with the printed pants — snakeskin — but they almost read as a neutral. The lucite heel isn’t bad to look at, either. All in all, this outfit looks tame from far away, but has some pretty rad elements once you get down to the details.

Head to Toe: Lauren Ramirez Dot Necklace, Aztec collar necklace via Poshmark, kate spade crystal necklace, Alternative Apparel plain white tee, Michael Kors watch, OIA Jules bracelet, Forever 21 cardigan, Alexander Wang Rocco Bag via Poshmark,  Zara watercolor snakeskin printed pants via Poshmark, Nude sandal via Poshmark.

Shop the look!
