style
I’ve never been a huge fan of shorts, but the recent resurgence of the culotte trend has made me reconsider. Most of you saw me pick up the floral ones in my Forever21 Vogue video, and I’d been waiting until a hot day to break them out. It’s been super gloomy in Chicago, but when I found out it would be warm today, I knew exactly what to wear. I paired them with this strong-shouldered blazer sent to me by SimplyBe, a UK retailer that will start shipping to the U.S. this July! (It may look familiar, J has the same one).
I was invited to a Marshalls/TJMaxx event this morning, and it was amazing. I plan on vlogging about it later, but for now I’ll just say that I got a $100 gift card and I found a ton of great stuff. The Betsey Johnson sunglasses are definitely a new favorite (I got them in another color too), and I’d been on the hunt for a straw fedora forever. (Yes, I realize they were popular four years ago. Don’t care.) Oh, and I took out my extensions! I definitely look like the fifth member of The Beatles.

Your hair looks awesome, Gabi!

I really like the shoulders of your jacket!
You look so summery and lovely. I wasn’t sold on culottes, but I may give them a try now.

first time commenter and new to your blog… Although I am much older than you appear to be I do like your style.. I just need to know where you got the shoes you are wearing in this photo..
I actually bought some white shorts today to go with a sheer orange and white butterfly top (very flowy and cute)… Not going to wear the shoes with this outfit I just need them in my life
love love loooove. you look amazing as always!
You look awesome! I’m glad to have met you yesterday, girlie!
I had never heard of your blog until you were on the morning show, YOUR FUCKING AMAZING
I love your blog & your style, come to Australia!?!?!!??!
Congrats on your The Morning Show segment! You did great!
And YAY for fedoras! Let’s bring them back!
AMAZING! I love this whole outfit 😀 Everything looks fab.
I ordered this blazer the other day, can’t wait until it arrives.
Love these shorts. The colours work so well for you. x.
This outfit looks amezing on you !(:
You look great Gabi and those heels are fierce.
Absolutly fabulous !!!!!
You are so chic, so beautiful, and your style is incredible. Love that blazer, love those shoes, love that hat… everything… Love!
You got your self a new follower!

You look great! Love the look!!!!
Wow, you look really cool and edgy in this outfit. I’ve been dithering over culottes but might think about them now, especially for when the sun actually comes out in the UK
I’m not overly fond of my legs but perhaps I need to learn to love them better!
u looked great in the video as well as the pictures. i also do not enjoy wearing shorts…until now! that jacket by the way, is a complete killer. love the look
I love the shorts! I have a pair from torrid and a romper, these are amazing! and the blazer… <3
You look gorgeous hun!
The culottes/shorts look more like a mini skirt, but not as flouncey. The silhouette looks great on you. And you so don’t look like the 5th Beatle. You look more like a Wham! fan girl circa 1984.
HELLO LOVE UR BLOG CHECK ME OUT http://WWW.FASHIONLIFE-PEGGY.BLOGSPOT.COM
Need those shorts! Send them to me when you get bored of them
Oh, I love this! Perfect for this season.
Oh. My. Word. Those shoes are amazing. And the sun glasses? The hottest : ) The shorts look GREAT! : ) Wow. You inspired me!
You are so beautiful! Lovely skin and hair, just gorgeous. I would love to know how you straighten your hair as I have curly ringlets but traditional relaxers are too much and I’m just not that talented with a hair dryer.
I love your colors, such a celebration of warmer weather. Rock those shorts!
This is very lovely!!!!
i’m absolutely in love with your blog. I was watching your video from a couple weeks back eand i most definitely agree with you on style being subjective, fashion is an art and their is no specific rule to abide by. Have a great week.
You know, when I first saw the pic of just you in the hat, I didn’t think you were gonna pull the outfit off. Then you mentioned the flower print culottes and I was like ok yea, this will be the first outfit I think Gabi won’t be able to rock. Was so WROOOONG! haha love how you can prove me wrong Gabi! So inspirational!
You are too much! Love it!
floral culottes are one of my favourite things this summer too! these are amazing.
I Think Im N Love With Those Shorts..
You look so pretty ! I love your hat
Love the culottes! I saw some AMAZING ones on Dorothy Perkins that I was going to pick up. I have a vintage romper that is very culotte-esque that I can’t wait to rock! (however, massachusetts weather is NOT cooperating!)

Gorgeous! Like the look, it’s always good to keep it fresh and YOU DO!
I’ve been secretly wanting floral shorts (florals are weird and all girly-girl for me!) and now after seeing you lookin’ all super sassy I’m most definitely want to try.
I’m loving the glasses, also those culottes are beautiful. I’ve never really liked them but you’re making me consider getting some!
