Mockneck Dupes pt. 2

 Hi, today we will be continuing our mock neck dupe talk.  If you are new here, I am Alana Lowery welcome to my blog! Like I said in my previous post this trend has been everywhere so let's jump in and continue to talk about it! 

We have Prints by Eve. I always believe in supporting small business and second local business. So, this small business gives a country but cute mock neck that I love. The print is something that looks like a dear and the vibrant colors are so cute. This is a higher price coming in at $90. Which you do save about $60 when comparing it the Parke prices. They have not dropped their stuff, but you are able to preorder at this time. 

Secondly, we have Remy Gee. If you are looking for the Parke look with the letters cross the chest this has that look. They have only pre-orders right now. What I love about most of these brands is that you are getting the bang for your buck by the mock necks being made of terry cotton. This has been important to me lately because I want to be low tox and this is a start. Their price point is $ 65. 

Lastly, we have Wear Malibu. This has that vibrate look that a lot of these brands have. I love the orange it is such a good shade of color. They don't have their prices at the time, but they will be launching soon. 

In conclusion, if you are on a budge, you can find something in your range of less. Thanks to Chirstopher Westbrook on TikTok for some of the brands that he found. 

Thanks for tuning in!

Mocknecks Dupes

 Hi, if you are new here, I am Alana Lowery and welcome to my blog! I been trying and, I am in a rut, but I am praying to stop being lazy. And start doing thing I love like this blog so. Let's get into it! If you are like me, you know that the mocknecks sweatshirts have been everywhere. The most popular has been the Parke sweatshirt but if you are like me the price is out of your budget right now. So, I am here to help, I have found some dupes that are affordable for you. 

First, we have the dupes from Ross they have so many different options. My favorite is the Jesus mockneck I love it. It is faith based and cute. The Christian girlies like me have been obsessed with them and they are the most affordable coming out to $14. Next, we have our local boutiques in Charleston, Millie Lynn. They have really cute ones other than just the Charleston ones, but these are $74 which is more affordable than the Parke. I love the supporting boutique because you are supporting your locals. The print is cute and I love the blue and pink.

 Lastly, we have Sundae Society it is made of 100% cotton which I love because it is better for your skin. And they are super vibrate and cute. They have drops you have to be in the inside scoop for, but they are affordable and fun.                                            

I am making this a two-part series so comment if you know any brands that you would like to see in this series or any brand that I mentioned you want to buy!

Thanks for tuning in!

Trends That I am Currently Obsessed With!

 Hi beautiful people, if you are new here, I am Alana Lowery and welcome to my blog! I have been extremely busy and out of it at the same time, but I have put a reminder in my phone, so I work on this blog every week.  Today we are going to dive in some trends that I am obsessed with currently. I am thinking about making this into one of my series that I have. Let me know, but for now let's get into it. The first trend I have been loving is the bandage dresses. Guys when I tell you I have not seen someone look bad in this dress I mean it. It is so flattering such a good dress style. As we see in this picture of @amiramarie.xo. I know y'all see how flattering it is right? So fitting, it is an amazing that they bought back this trend from back in the day. 

Lastly for now the next trend I would like to talk about is this style and jacket piece. I think this fall this jacket will be a statement piece. IT IS SO CHIC I LOVE IT! I need to find where I can buy it and get it asap. I have similar jeans but in blue. So, when I find it, I can style it perfectly. It adds an element to the outfit that screams October and the color don't even get me started on how perfect it is. @katelynmdennis girl if you ever see this please let's be friends and teach me how to thrift like this. 

Well, that's it for today's blog! If you like this series, please comment below.

SHES BACK!!!

 Hi, I am Alana Lowery and welcome to my blog! I know I know it has been a few month since I post. But guess what..... I AM BACK FOR GOOD. I will be posting every week with new fashion idea, dos and don'ts and of course hot takes. For this post I thought would just talk about what I been up to and what I want to do and look forward to. First, I have been traveling and doing theatre in the last few months. I also have recently graduated college which is still crazy to even say. If you are currently in college it goes by fast and when people say post grad is hard believe them. I am trying to find a job and it hard, to say the least. 

I am looking forward to doing everything that I can because you know they say the world is your oyster, so I am going to be doing everything from, fashion, to podca
sting, theatre, social media, writing etc. I am excited but scared for this new journey.

I know this one was short because it just me announcing I am back. Thank you for tuning in!

2026 Trends

 Hi! I am Alana Lowery and welcome back to my blog. I know it has been a while since y'all have hear from me, but I am back. Let me tell y'all busy isn't even the word I have had classes, plays, musicals, and other obligations. Well enough with that lets talk about trends that I think will be taking off in 2026. This is obviously based on what I have seen in real life and social media. So, let's dive in. 

 

The biggest trend I think we will see is whimsical looks this will pop off big time. We have had polka dots, cheetah and leopard print, y2k, etc. I believe this will be the new look of 2026. I personally love the idea of whimsical it is so freeing to have. There is just so many different ways to style it because it truly free. I think about Fancy Nancy when it comes to this style. For the people who does not know or not familiar to it. In this style there is so many colors, patterns, and mixing and matching. This look goes hand and hand with strips. I am currently obsessed with strips I have been wanting to buy stripped headbands, shirts, pants, etc. I truly believe that it will become the new polkas and people will be just as obsessed. 

Next is accessories we have already been seeing this, but the oval glasses are popping off people love them. I have been wanting to switch my real glasses for them. Then there is scarf/ lace for accessory for the side of jeans. I think this make an outfit very fun. Flower clips and hats these are so cute it adds so much to the hair. Lastly, layered jewelry this is so cool every time I see someone with this, I think they are the coolest person. 

That's it! thank you for tuning in!

New Years Expo

 Hi! I am Alana Lowery and welcome to my blog. Since the year is coming to an end and Final are here. I wanted to close out the year with a New Years outfit idea. This is a great inspiration for outfits. When I think of the song by Taylor Swift call New Year's Day. That say, "there's glitter on the floor after the party." Glitter is all I can think about so glitter and sparkly dresses are the way to go. All of these pieces are good ideas for New Years this is a HIT. Theses outfits give me Hannah Montana vibes. I love it. 

If you do not like spark. I got you. This set has been on my mind, and I can't get over it. It is like furry on the end of the sleeves and pant. It is a need not a want at this point because of how long I have had it in my Wishlist. I found it cozy and dressy at the same time. I think the loafers are so comfortable and looks very good with this outfit. This is a HIT. 

Lastly, if we want to be super casual and laid back then I think this outfit will be super cute and casual. I love the off the shoulder look of the sweater with some jean and flats. It is a HIT. I think this looks really good with glasses, but I think that only work if you have real prescribed glasses. I really think it is a MISS when people who do not wear glasses wear them just because. 

Comment if you do anything for NYE! I know

 I usually do not, but I know a lot of people do. 

So, I am curious how many of y'all do. 

XOXO,

Christmas outfit ideas

 Hi! I am Alana Lowery and welcome back to my blog. Today we will be talking Christmas outfit for the holidays. First, I will go into something classy and dressy and then we will talk more casual. Let's dive in. 

I love this outfit it is so classy and elegant. This would be good for a dinner or a Christmas party. Something about the fur and the red screams winter. I love this color. And the kitten heels compliments so well and they match the dress. This is a HIT in my book. This dress is expensive so some cheaper there is some on Amazon and Fashion Nova. 

Second, we have this plaid skirt paired with this turtleneck and fur 

coat. I love love love this outfit. I need it in my closet immediately. I have been wanting a fur coat for the longest time. I saw some at Old Navy they were still too expensive to me at the time. The plaid skirt really sells it for me it gives it that pop of color and also gives the vibes of a Ralph Lauren Christmas. This is my favorite HIT of all time. They have really cute boots at Target with this kind of heel. they are like 50 dollars. I think that is an okay price, but I am sure Amazon has some cheap ones.

Lastly, is a whole outfit from Amazon you can find. You still look dressed up and put together it is just easy. 

I love a good skirt and how they look. This skirt paired with some boots make this cozy and winter. I love the pop of color from the sweater. Then, the jewelry to make it look more elegant. This is a HIT. Very casual not too much or dressy. 

Thank you for tuning in! Comment what you look you have planned to for Christmas! 

XOXO,
