A cult fashion item can take on various meanings. For the sake of layman’s terms, a cult fashion piece is what few have that many want or deemed a collective fascination amongst celebrities and your favorite influencers.
TELFAR The Telfar Shopping Bag
If you create scarcity, everyone will want it. The aforementioned is a play on the adage of human behavior and Telfar does just that. The shopping bag is in global demand, comes in colorful hues, and three sizes. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez “AOC” has sung the brand praises and spotted carrying the oxblood shopping tote to the Capitol. If you’ve experienced anxiety to secure a bag in the past to no avail, consider the bag security program. Customers will be able to pre-order the bag of their choice over the course of four days (9 a.m. EST on April 14 to 11:59 p.m. EST on April 18). Terms and conditions can be found directly on the brand website.

KHAITE Maddy Top
The Maddy Top is oh so feminine and still reigns as an influencer favorite for a little over a year now. This piece boasts a sweetheart neckline, which is universal to most body types and also makes it flattering for those with a large bust. The top’s minimalistic design deems it a wardrobe basic, yet the hemline sets it apart as a statement piece.

MARNI Logo Embroidered Raffia Tote Bag
Marni totes are a perfect refresh to your spring/summer wardrobe. I sometimes question how trendy they are but it takes me back to Cult Gaia’s “Gaia Ark” bag that keeps on giving; I adore that piece to this day and would personally get a Marni tote in a natural tone. Color is fun, so you can’t go wrong either way; the pink tote below is lovely. The tote bags serve purpose for a chic spring/summer outing or an elevated vacation bag as the world returns to a new normalcy.

NEW BALANCE Sneakers
The sneaker brand has won the heart of many in the fashion world. There is an array of styles to choose from relative to style preference. A coveted pair that I have yet to get my hands on, are the P550’s which, are part of the collaboration with Aime Leon Dore. I purchased a pair of 574’s from the latest collaboration with Staud. Color is all the rave and the 574’s deliver on that. Each pair comes with six sets of shoelaces in white, black, red, green, blue, and yellow. Can we say range and creativity! Below is a look I styled wearing the unisex sneaker.

MALONE SOULIERS Heels
Malone Souliers, is a name to know in luxury footwear. The line has been preferred by countless celebrities, while exuding a timeless aesthetic. The footwear design hails a bit of resemblance to the original Manolo Blahnik and designed with the modern woman in mind.
If you’re a fan of Bridgerton style, then you may be familiar with the Netflix series, teaming up with the designer label on a capsule collection of shoes inspired by looks from the show. The shoes really match the aesthetic of the series. Dare I say regal, romantic, and elegant!
