The beautiful color of this tunic brings so much joy and confidence on the triple digits days of summer. It flows effortlessly and with ease. Great choice to travel with !
I adore the fit and styling of this button front tunic. It’s also extremely lightweight and cool to wear. The texture of the fabric lends it a dressy quality, but looks great over a t-shirt! My only complaint—the tunic has a strong perfumed scent which I’m allergic to, so I had to have it dry-cleaned before wearing.
I love them! Everyone who sees them, comments positively. They go with everything. I highly recommend them.
They are very comfortable and stylish. I like them very much.
Love, love this jumpsuit. Comfortable, stylish AND easy to get in/out of. Wish it came in other colors.
I was attracted to the Lukaa Relaxed Doodle Top when I first saw it online as the design is fun and contemporary. I love anything black and white and this top just checked all the boxes. When I received it, I was surprised that it was so soft and comfy. It feels like a well worn tee hirt. It is the perfect shirt all year ong!
The romper fits perfectly and looks just like the photos. The fabric is super soft and feels high-quality. I was also impressed by how fast the delivery was. Very happy with this purchase!
Love these practical wedges. Lots of flair and a perfect way to dress up casual outfits, The metallic color is easy to accessorize and the wedge heel is comfortable.
These sneaks are comfy, but have a a more polished look. They’ll be great with summer dresses!
