Look What I Found…

Published by

So the other day I spent HOURS browsing through several online shops. It started out as me trying to find a graduation dress (3 more days of high school left!!!), then quickly turned to “what can I bring on my trip to Paris” (I’m going with my girlfriends as a graduation gift from our parents!!!). Before I knew it my Pinterest got an update, my fingers became sore from clicking, and my checking account didn’t look so promising. I discovered a new site (Necessary Clothing). An affordable fashion site. With super cute clothes. Like realllllllly cute. Ok let me stop blabbering and just show you. From Necessary Clothing I probably spent an hour on this site alone. This store is my style to a T. After debating whether or not I would save my money, I decided I couldn’t pass up a few pieces. Here are some more stores I browsed and my favorite things from their sites… From Brandy Melville  I’ve heard Youtubers talk about this shop quite often, but this was my first …

Sunglasses are a must at the start of each new warm-weather season. Below are two trends to be aware of. The glasses are from ICU EYEWEAR. Day  A light colored vintage pair of sunglasses go nicely with a t-shirt and jeans for running errands. While I prefer to wear these darker shades for an evening look, I thought they complimented this tropical outfit nicely.

PinkBasis let me review a few of their purses. I chose a tote bag in chestnut-brown, a Céline knockoff in navy blue and a black studded cross body. See below how I would style each one and head over to their website for tons of affordable finds in accessories.  Don’t forget to take the poll at the end of this post to let me know which bag is your favorite! Chestnut Tote Bag I’ve been using this bag as a replacement to my backpack for school. It’s large enough to hold books in it, homework, a wallet, lipsticks, etc. I love how roomy it is and the neutral color goes with anything I wear. It also comes with a strap if you want to wear it hands free.   Navy Blue Céline Look-a-like I’ve had my eye on this style of bag for a while, so I was happy to see Pink Basis carries it. The bag has plenty of compartments for extra storage and will add a nice pop of color to an otherwise …

I Scream For Ice Cream | 1 Top 3 Ways

Published by

Summer is right around the corner and lately it’s been hot enough to wear just  a tank top. I thought it would be fun to show you three ways I’d style one of my favorites… a cheeky ice cream and popsicle  muscle tank from Red Bubble.    Outfit #1 Tank\Red Bubble   Sunglasses\ ICU    Denim Shorts\Thrifted   Sneakers\Converse  Watch\Modify  For lots of leg pair a tank with high waisted shorts, the white kicks give the look a casual vibe. This outfit is perfect for hanging around the house or shopping with friends. Outfit #2 Cardigan\Old Navy   Dress (worn as skirt)\ Pangaea For a vibrant look that’s a little more dressy, I chose to pair the top with a multicolored floral print on bottom. The short sleeve cardi ties everything together. Outfit #3 Hat\UC  Jeans\ JCPenney   Shoes: Keds This last outfit is great for a day at the lake (although I got a mosquito bite on my arm! So spray down with bug repellent or bring a jacket too) or a bike ride around …

Customizable Watches Perfect For Spring

Published by

There isn’t a better way to get more bang for your buck than with modifiable pieces. Modify Watches is a place where you can do just that. Choose from a wide range of straps in every color imaginable and then choose a face to go with it (comes in several colors and patterns). You can interchange the faces, you can interchange the straps and each time you’ll get a new watch that matches your mood or outfit for the day! I chose a white-on-white look since I’m really into minimalism right now… but I am excited to begin adding new faces and straps to my collection for when I want something a little funkier.  

Take Me to The Ocean

Published by

This past weekend my family and I went on a mini vacation to Ocean City, MD for a family reunion. Since we live in Ohio, it’s not often we get to go to the beach, so I was super excited for a weekend of fun in the sun, fashion, and family. Below are a few highlights from the trip! The hotel was perfect! We could walk outside and go right onto the beach. It was fairly spacious too! We drove all night and into the morning on Friday, so when we finally got settled in we were starving! We found this cute little place called The Bayside Skillet. As soon as we walked in we were greeted with a “Good Morning Sunshine!” They had the most delicious crepes ever… I took an unnecessary amount of pictures in this outfit, but it was so hard to choose which I loved the most because they were taken with different backgrounds. Right outside our hotel was the most amazing vinewall, when we first pulled up to the hotel …

“Our mothers give us so many gifts. They give us the precious gift of life, of course, but they also leave treasured lessons that can guide us along our journeys…” -Maria Shriver While we could never repay our mothers or the people who have played an important role in who we’ve become, it’s still nice to show our appreciation for them. Below are a couple of ways to do just that this Mother’s Day. Scented Bath Salts to Promote Relaxation   Take a look at Agraria, an online home and body fragrance store featuring goodies such as candles, bath bars, body lotions, and oils. Original Artwork Or perhaps she’d like a piece from RedBubble, an online marketplace for artists to sell their original designs in the form of iPhone cases, prints, posters, t-shirts, cards, etc. And if she’s an excellent cook like mine, why not some kitchen gadgets to make her life a little easier.
