    Those denim sandals are fantastic and they look so comfy too. This season I’m updating my basics with prints (skirts, scarves and dresses) and I add bold stripes to my classic black and white or navy-white. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi, Shin adorable! It looks amazing with how to make basic parts, is not it?! I loved your pictures for inspiration! This reminds me that I need urgently to use a pleated skirt with a shirt and putting a lot of accessories to make the look more cool! I loved your suggestions!

    I love updating my basics. All I really wear is the basics, anyway, so I am constantly updating them in different ways. These are great tips.

    I love layering as well, especially tank tops with maxi skirts and anything with cardigans. Love the runway looks you posted here. I want that Willow skirt and the entire Isabel Marant look!

  29. Edoardo says:

    every post is more interesting. I agree with sleeveless tops and the MJ tank is so so cool. I do like the “runway outfit you post” and I love shorts like the Kayne ones!

    I loooove the first outfit! So amazing, the shorts are to die for.

  32. S.Elisabeth says:

    Ahh all these choices are amazing!

  33. Aprilia Love says:

    I find basics so hard to buy. I mainly stock up on t shirts, long sleeved shirts and singlets. I’m not really a basic wearer unless it’s underneath something else, like a dress. I really need to work on matching basics, hehe.
    I’ve been to Hawaii before in 2007. I spent time in Honolulu as well as Kawaii. Both places were beautiful! I want to go back there and visit Maui and the big island ๐Ÿ™‚
    Are you in Honolulu?
    I would love to live in San Francisco. I fell in love with that city when I went there. I haven’t been to NY but it looks incredible. Maybe next year ๐Ÿ™‚
    Have you been down here to Australia?

  34. Aki! says:

    You know, now that you mention it, I don’t really update my basics. I have camis and tanks from AGES ago that I never wear. But, since they’re basics, I never throw them out either.

    …I’m thinking I should clean my closet out. Thanks for the reminder!

  35. Loving that cape… and those studded shorts!

  36. Sherry says:

    O my gosh that pink flowy dress is to die for!! So beautiful!!!
