No. 1: My Closet Staples

I think it’s safe to say that every girl has a few items in her closet that she just can’t live without. Whether it be a classic, statement dress you scored on sale at Saks or a staple pair of mules, some just stay forever. I’m thrilled to share with you all what those items are for me in my first ever blog post! 

Shoppable, commissionable links are embedded within this post.

Coming in at #1 would definitely be a statement sneaker. I’m on-the-go just about all of the time and I think I’ve cracked the code re: not having to sacrifice style for comfort. My Charlotte Stone Conway Sneakers are my best friend for a few reasons. 1. Their comfort level and durability are unmatched. 2. They feature just about every color of the rainbow so they go with literally anything. 3. They are so easy to pack and slip on in a flash. Can’t rave about them enough and they’re a fabulous price point at just a little over $200.


#2 would have to be these Target CZ Studs. Look like the real deal and they’re just big enough. If I’m not wearing a statement earring (aka going to dinner or an event), I have these on. I have so many people stop me to ask where I got them and they’re always in shock when I tell them Target!

#3 is definitely a good white tee. Can’t beat the simplicity and chicness of a white tee. When you find one that you love, it’s the best feeling ever. Went through a zillion different ones before I landed on this Abercrombie Essential Baby Tee. Yes, Abercrombie! Hello middle school 👋🏼 It’s insanely cheap and just the right amount of stretch. Think I have about 3-4 of these so I never have to go without! 

#4 is a solid pair of sunnies. I’m insanely picky about the shape of sunglasses and these Krewe St. Louis Classics look excellent on just about anyone. They’re definitely more of an investment pair, so if you’re notoriously losing sunnies or know you’re not the best at taking care of them, get these Amazon Sunnies instead. Just about every influencer raves about them and for good reason. I have them in 3 colors, as they’re sturdy, cheap, and just damn good. For inquiring minds, I have them in olive green, candy white, and orange leopard. 

#5, last but not least…a crossbody! I’m such a fanatic for my leather YSL Wallet On Chain. I was gifted it years ago for Christmas and she still looks like I just pulled her out of the box. It’s on the pricier side, but is truly a forever piece and will never go out of style. Love that you can remove the chain and carry it as a clutch for a different look. I do this all the time for date night and think it’s so chic. I have it in black but I’m eyeing the tan one next. 

A few other closet must-haves I didn’t mention above, but do adore are…

  • My Brixton Joanna Hat. I wear it nonstop in the summer. Sun-protection is key, ladies! 

  • My beloved ASHA Celine Kaftan. I’m a kaftan/dress girl through and through. You look put together in seconds when you have one on. I adore Ashley’s brand. It’s so vibrant and full of life and she truly never misses a detail. She designs dresses/kaftans (& jewels!) that are beyond unique but simultaneously timeless and wearable for years to come.

  • My Tkees Lily Sandals. My bffs for the beach and beyond in the summer. Very affordable and hold up very well. 

  • My summer shoes aka the Castañer Carina Espadrilles. Odds are if it’s above 70 degrees, I’m wearing them. Cost per wear is next to nothing with these. 

If you made it to the end of this post, you’re a real one. Thank you so so much for following along and supporting me in this new journey. I adore you! There’s so much more to come.

Xoxo, SGB.
