The kind of shoes that make you rethink your entire outfit (in the best way).

And just like that… these shoes became the plan. 😏
These @donaldpliner Gizelle wedges walked in and said, “We’re the plan today,” and honestly… I agreed! 😂They’re cute, comfortable, and that little platform gives just the right lift without any wobble (we love that for us). Daytime, dinner, running around… they’re doing it all.

So yes, I built the outfit around them… starting with these high-waisted ankle pants that hold everything in right where you want it (bless🙌🏻), and adding this jacket that looks like a splurge but is actually such a good affordable find.
🤎
Moral of the story: when the shoes are this good, you don’t overthink it… you just say yes!

Out here in the Caribbean air, I realized I had two choices: fight it… or let my curls do what they were clearly determined to do. So instead of battling it, I leaned in—and honestly? I kind of love it.

I’m sharing the hair products that help me work with the humidity instead of against it, along with this polka dot walmart dress that packed like a dream and these statement earrings from lele_sadoughi that pull it all together.
