Summer Lovin' and Wanelo!


Hi my beautiful bright eyes! Okay so first things first, I get Kate Spade emails and from now on, I'll try to come up with creative color descriptions like "bazooka pink" or something. Anyway, so today I just wanted to talk about some summer objects that I've been eyeing recently and will probably get now so I can be prepared. Like a Girl Scout. Hahaha, sorry guys I'm jamming out to this playlist on songza (BETTER THAN PANDORA. WHAT.) that is seriously labeled "Pop Divas of the '00s" and it is the best for late night blogging.

So I got this app the other day, and items called Wanelo and it's basically like Pinterest but instead of repinning and liking, you can either save the object or buy it if you really like it. The things on there are so great and it's so crazy addictive. P.S. If you wanna follow, it's soccergirl1614. You know you want to, follow for a follow? Okay so that's Wanelo. Shout out to my first follower: veramb! Follow her!

Okay, so summer things I want badly, mostly all thanks to Wanelo.
1. Urban Outfitters Heart Aviators ($16.00)
So I had Maddens (The name's Madden. Steve Madden.) last summer and unfortunately they broke because they might have fallen off my face in the middle of a busy Chicago intersection. Oops. My mother wasn't too happy to hear that. But Urban has these really cute aviators, and I'll probably get these super soon.


2. Kearas Tribal Decal for Beats by Dre ($28.08)
Cute addition to the traditional Beats, adds some personal style and touch.

3. iPhone case by Spires ($35.00)
There are so many colors and designs! It reminds me of Gotye's music video for "Someone I used to know" which was one of my favorite songs this past summer.


4. Victoria's Secret PINK Water Bottle ($12.50)
Water is super important in the summer and it just gets cuter in this PINK water bottle. And when you're working out, you can think about your legs in yoga pants as motivation! You got this girl!

5. American Apparel Chicago Pullover ($42.00)
Okay so I love Chicago and this is a picture from some street, I can't really see the picture. The only thing that stops me about getting this is the price tag. A little steep for a pull over, but we'll see when I give in and get it.



6. American Eagle V-Neck ($15.95)
This was one of the white shirts I talked about in my closet essentials, and it's a guy shirt which makes me love it just that much more. It's breezy and nicely cut, I just love it.



7. Freshtops.com No Sleeves Crop Top Starbucks Top ($23.00)
Now everyone can know my public obsession with Starbucks, huzzah! This would look so cute with a cuffed black blazer, with the pin stripe cuffs. Just my thinking.



8. Free People Globe Necklace ($58.00)
Free People is just one of those stores that pulls me in every time, and this necklace is no exception. I fall head-over-heels HARD for Free People accessories, like the flag scarf and now this necklace. Something about the worn-in, slightly vintage motif attracts me like a fat kid and candy.




9. Urban Outfitters Treasure Island Necklace ($30.00)
So this necklace is very Betsey-esque but yet has some distinct differences like the skulls (which have been seen on so many bracelets, but I can't force myself to fork out $10 for one.) It's really cute though especially with so much going on.



10. Red Anchor Messenger ($29.50)
I think this would be the perfect beach tote, pop in a towel, sunglasses, even a beach ball! And the anchors really give it that ocean-y, nautical feeling which I love. I have a scarf like it.



11. Kate Spade Sandals ($158.00 at Nordstrom)
So these are so cute and they come in a bunch of different styles which I really like, but the price is very dislikable which makes me sad. But if I had the money to, one day, spend $160 on sandals these are the ones that I would run to.




Okay so those are some things I plan to get before summer time, and I will have a swimsuit edition up soon after a few more posts. I might post a few OOTD blogs sometime so you guys can really see my style on me instead of reading about it all the time. Oh so I thought this would be fun, the GRAND TOTAL for the ten items(not counting those sandals...) is $290.03. Something tells me I might not be able to afford everything I want, but I'm sure I'll be caving in for the American Apparel Pullover super soon. I get paid next Monday anyway, so we'll see how thin the paycheck can spread. Bye my lovelies! XOXO

Closet Essentials: The White Tee

Hello my beautiful people! So I want to start talking about some key, basic pieces to almost every woman's closet and what my take on it is and some places to find that item and variations of it.
Today's feature: the white tee!
Okay this basically is the epitome of the saying "small, but mighty" because it is the absolute most wearable item. It can be dressed up or down, or even worn on a slouchy "bum" day. I actually am a freak and don't own just a plain white tee, and I didn't realize how weird that was until I went to camp one summer. My friend recommended an outfit with a white tee and I was sort of lost for words. So, now to save you all from possible embarrassment at camp, and look at a closet staple: let's go!
1. Gap Women's Pocket Tee ($20)
Okay so this is by far my favorite minimal style of the white tee shirt, with just a baggy pocket that just adds a touch of carefreeness and effortlessness to the whole outfit. You could tuck it in a skirt or into a favorite pair of jeans, depending on what you want.
2. American Eagle Men's Legend V Neck ($16, 2 for $12.50 each)
Okay so I kinda love guy shirts. They're baggy, but not large and American Eagle is so comfy and cozy. This shirt combines the best of both worlds! And the womens's shirt is more fitted, but it's also like $20 so it depends on what you're going for. For this, my ideal outfit would be this shirt with a fitted blazer, with the cuffs rolled up tucked in a pair of favorite jeans and black heels. It can be played many ways, it just depends on your style.
3. American Apparel Ladies Tee Shirt
So American Apparel is kind of well known for their heavenly soft shirts and I'm wearing one right now and so much love for American Apparel. These are really nice quality and so comfy and breathable.
4. Urban Outfitters BDG V Neck ($15-18)
So I love Urban with every fiber of my being, and I have two of these V necks, one in a burnt orange and the other in an ideal blue. They are so wonderful! And I only got them for $5 each during their annual sale. Makes me wonder why I didn't buy more.. Regrets in my life! But these are really lovely.

Okay so those are my thoughts on our FIRST essential closet item, the great white tee! Thanks for reading lovelies, see you later with round 2! (Hopefully!) Ciao bellas! xx
