Quality brands that aren’t cheap, but wont completely break your bank
Perfect brands to ask for as birthday gifts, or to browse for gifts if you’re the cool friend. ALL PHOTOS below will be clickable links to shop! First up is..,
TONY BIANCO
Modernizing the classic pointed kitten heel and I am obsessed. These will run you about $160-$180 kind of pricey I know, but there is usually a 20% off code at the top of their site. Truly timeless designs that will go with almost anything. Perfect for your bestie who’s always striving for that chic look.
In my opinion Brie Leon bags give that “quiet luxury” vibe with out having to spend thousands of dollars. Great quality bags that feel trendy and classic at the same time for under $200. A NEW PURSE WILL ALWAYS BE A HIT GIFT. If you are shopping for your girlfriend, your best friend, your mom, your whoever, and they have a purse on them, GET THEM ANOTHER ONE. There is nothing that can ruin an outfit quicker than not having the right bag to pair it with.
LIONESS
I could literally browse this store all day, they really just get it. The MOST wearable clothes that still feel fresh. Plus they like to keep things under $100. It blows my mind that up until a few months ago I had never heard of Lioness because essentially every one of their pieces is something I would wear. Very much so the “cool girl aesthetic”. Perfect for unique staples and going out clothes. Unique staples may sound contradictory, but they have a way of putting a subtle twist on a classic to make it intriguing, with out it taking over the outfit. Pro-tip get one of their maxi skirts, actually life changing!
LA FAM
Last but not least, La Fam is a unisex streetwear brand based in Amsterdam. Its hard to say exactly what about the clothing is so enticing, but every time I see a piece I think to myself, “I just gotta have that”. Lets put it this way, If I saw someone walking down the street in La Fam I would just know they eat every other outfit in their life. Plus their about page is sick, totally worth the read!
