Style on a Budget: Summer Shoes Under $40

With summer on it's way I'm positive we're all anticipating the return of warmer weather and spending our days under the sun. I am all about finding great things for a great price. After all I'm still in high school so i can't really buy shoes worth $500. So i created a list of fabulous shoes all under $40! (ahh that price just makes me happy) This is for all you style savvy people who like to get the most of their money. 

1- Low heeled sandal-  (Go Jane// $20.80) I'm not much of a sandal person. They're a tricky shoe to buy in my opinion. These are an exception. White for summer is very classic and the chain strap gives an added edgy vibe. All for twenty dollars!

2- Platform Sneakers- (Asos // $38.11) I myself am completely in love with the platform trend. I've searched far and wide for the perfect pair. Summer is a time for adventure and we all need a reliable pair of shoes. These have a not so subtle print that really stands out. For just under $40

3- Caged sandal- (Lulus // $21.00) This style of shoe is not for everyone. I've viewed some mixed opinions on the caged shoe. I happen to love them and I've seen many for over 100 dollars in various stores. They're a great shoe if you want to add something different to your look, For only $21.

4- Strappy Heels- (Lulus // $22.00) This pair of shoes are one of the most worn of the moment. From celebs like Jennifer Lawrence to fashion bloggers; they've been worn everywhere on many different occasions. Daytime parties to a night in the city, they're versatile and are a must have of the season. For just $22

Lavender Loves: Shoes!

To be more specific... pointed shoes. 

Like most of my obsessions it has something to do with looking effortlessly classy.

One of my favorite shows ever has to be The Carrie Diaries. I have the exact same ambitions as Carrie, and she always manages to look chic and put together. Her character is constantly seen with heels. I would gladly wear them everywhere but I feel like that would be a little much. 

Here are some pointed shoes I desperately need in my closet!

How I Style High Waisted Shorts

       What another lovely week this has been turning out to be! I'm totally kidding, I've been slowly melting all week and it's only Wednesday. Hotter weather tends to mean higher shorts in my opinion. Recently I just bought some new pairs from Forever 21 and these blue and red shorts are my fave! I really think they go with everything. I think the key to matching patterns is making sure the top is a solid color. Patterns make a statement all in their own so you don't have to over accessorize and add pointless other things. You could have the most simple outfit but the patterns within it give it some pizazz. My peach collared top is also from Forever 21. And Lastly my brown strappy sandals are from Chinese Laundry. I also kept it simple by wearing my favorite/quickest hairdo a ponytail (: It's still blazing hot out so keeping my hair up also kept me cool.

School ends for me this week so this leaves me more time to blog ^____^
Have a great week and stay chic,
xo, Christina.
