SUMMERTIME ESSENTIALS: SUNGLASSES

Hi my spring breakers! Hope you're all having a great time/ had a good time! And if you didn't get a spring break, become a student again. Just kidding. Okay so I'm going to start a bit of a new line of blog posts to get you guys ready for SUMMER! This is more of an add-on to the closet essentials but just for summer. Alright let's get started! Sunglasses are really important in the summer, because they shield your eyes from the sun and they can look super cute at the same time. Why not knock out two birds with one stone? (Or however that phrase goes...)

1. Heartbreaker Sunglasses ($16 online only at Urban Outfitters)
These are great, they're aviators basically but they have a heart frame on the outside, but it's not that cheap plastic-y thick frame. You know what I'm saying. I really like these and I've been meaning to get them but laziness and no money strikes me.



2. Ray-Ban Rare Print 78 Original Wayfarer ($165 at Ray-Ban)
I don't think I have to really explain the appeal of Ray-Bans. They're well-made, it's free shipping on all orders, and they're just so cool. These are the rare print sunglasses and I really like them. Just the no money thing, you know.


3. Forever 21 Wayfarer Sunglasses F0330 ($5.80)
These have the cutest pattern on them and they would be perfect for summer.



Okay so those are some sunglasses I found that I liked. If you have any suggestions, tell me! XOXO

Closet Essentials: Scarves

Hi my beauts, long time no see! Hope you've all checked out the chick flick list which basically describes my post-Valentine's Day weekend. So I wanted to talk about a closet essential that I love, love, love! Scarves can add a touch to a plain outfit and take it to a whole other direction. I usually wear them with a classic shirt with a top knot or beachy, wavy hair and black/normal jeans with flats or Vans. Toss on a loose hoodie or oversized cardigan and out the door I go! So let's talk about some scarves.

1. Lilly Pulitzer- Murfee Scarf ($118)

This brand is known for its iconic resort designs with the beachy scents and these scarves are no exceptions. They have silk and cashmere with fringe at the end, and with bright pops of color they'll be sure to turn any outfit from blah into bam! (In a good way of course!) This really is an investment but you'll definitely get your money's worth out of it. If you want a cheaper alternative but still with the Pulitzer touch, the Murfette scarf is a good alternative for only $78.

2. Nike U.S. Soccer USA Scarf ($29.99 at TodoFut.com)

This one's for all my soccer ladies out there, you know who you are. It doesn't always require floral or girly patterns to have style. USA soccer for life!

3. ASOS Oversized Swan Print Scarf ($28.06)


I love scarves with animals, especially the scarves that are big and drapey like this one. It's simply gorgeous and I will probably get this soon, just saying.

4. ASOS Metallic Skull Print Scarf ($21.05)


So the skull trend is pretty hot lately and if you're not full-blown into it, this is a good way to start wading into  it.

Some ways to wear scarves in the summer!



And you guys can check out my DIY Quote scarf too if you want another option.
Alrighty I hope this is nice, and you guys like it! I'm craving a smoothie right now and I think I'm gonna go out and grab one. Bye lovelies, muah XOXO

Closet Essential: The LBD

Hi my lovelies! Sorry I've been AWOL for a couple of days, but let's talk about the most ESSENTIAL closet piece, in my opinion: The Little Black Dress. So it's classic, it can be styled and worn several ways for so many occasions: parties, date night, etc. So here are a few I like: 

1. ASOS Skater Dress With Slash Neck And Short Sleeves ($35.08) 

So this is a totally classic black dress, and it cinches at the waist, showing off the skinny-mini waist and then it flares out but not to a crazy amount. The neckline makes it perfect for statement necklaces, and any type of shoes would go with this dress. This is my basic definition of the LBD, and it's a staple piece. 

2. Vince Camuto Peplum Sheath Dress (Petite) (Sold at Nordstrom Rack, $59.97) 

This dress is so adorable, and it is peplum, and it's a total steal especially from Nordstrom Rack. Unforunately it's sold out right now, but I think it'll be back in stock soon especially for Valentine's Day which will look super hot. And I'm really sorry but I couldn't get a good picture of it for you guys, but if you search it up, it's great! 

3. Belted Satin Shirtdress ($27.80)

Shirtdresses are already super adorable, and the belt helps a lot. It's also high-low and super chic! And it's from Forever 21 which I kinda love a lot. 

4. Silence & Noise Laser Beam Dress ($59.00)

This is from URBAN OUTFITTERS! Yikes, it is so cute! And it has a pattern and it goes onto the back, and it's just so great! Okay so maybe I can't get a picture on this too, but just look it up it's definitely the best! 

Okay my lovelies, those are some LBDs to go check out and tell me what you think. Kisses, muah! XOXO

Closet Essentials: BOYFRIEND JEANS

Hi my lovelies, I'm bacccck! Actually, I've never left... anyways, today is another edition of one of my favorites. BOYFRIEND JEANS. They're great, stylish, and the right amount of wear and tear. So let's talk about them!

Boyfriend jeans are great, and they're good with everything, casual days and nicer days as well. They're appropriately baggy and makes you look like you gotta a boo thang (; unless you actually have one which reminds me, Valentine's Day is coming. And you are all my valentines, because I love all of you unconditionally.

1. J Brand Aiden Boyfriend Jeans ($209.00)

These are the IDEAL boyfriend jeans. They're baggy, distressed, and when they're cuffed, they are PERFECTION. Well, my idea of perfection at least. They would look super cute on a casual day with a flowy shirt, like the ones from Pacsun or something like that.




2. American Eagle Boy Jean ($49.99)

Okay, so just to clarify, these jeans are NOT the boyfriend jeans from American Eagle. The boyfriend ones look a little strange to me, like they're baggy and flared and not very boyfriend-ish. So I looked at these jeans and don't be fooled by the name because they're seriously really cute. And American Eagle is one of those clothing stores that I will buy jeans at. Like Hollister is a little iffy for me, but that's just me. Anyways, these are the boy fit jeans at American Eagle, and they're slouchy and comfy and just great. And it's a little more reasonably priced than the J Brand ones (A LOT MORE REASONABLE).



3. ASOS Vintage Wash Slim Boyfriend Jeans ($61.57)
Okay, first of all, I love ASOS but why 57 cents? That has absolutely no logic to it. Just saying. Okay so ASOS is one of my favorite stores, and these jeans are really nice. ASOS has really well-made, nice quality things so I highly recommend ASOS to everyone. So these jeans are slim, in case you haven't noticed from the name of the pants; the slimness allows them to look a little more put together, but still effortlessly distressed and boyfriend-y. Oh, by the way, look at this girl's thigh gap. I know now, as a soccer player that a thigh gap is now impossible to reach so I just pout and wish I had picked tennis as a kid. But I would never give up soccer.




4. Levi's Boyfriend Jeans Tinted Sky (Sold at ASOS, $184.70)

Okay so I know, these are a little on the pricey side, but I just saw the wash of these jeans and I kinda fell in love and decided to post it. So here they are! And oh by the way, those boots! I'm melting from jealousy.





Okay so those are my thoughts on my favorite clothing item ever, BOYFRIEND JEANS. And you know, I don't have a boyfriend because boys are icky, but I actually do have plans for Valentine's Day. I feel so special. Okay, anyway these are just options and opinions, but hey they're called boyfriend jeans for a reason, feel free to ask him. It only makes sense. Alrighty then, now I'm just rambling. Bye darlings! Stay beautiful! (:

Closet Essentials: The Favorite Pair of Jeans

Hi my lovelies! Okay so I am glad to say that when you now Google "DIY book quote scarf", my post is the number one hit. Thank you all so much for clicking! Yay! Okay so you guys know, I'm writing posts about some closet essentials, my opinions and some examples.

So let's talk jeans. I know, I know we would much rather wear sweats than jeans, but days when you really don't want to dress up or look like you just rolled out of bed, jeans are a go-to. You can go with the classic blue, but different colors can help your outfit pop! Black jeans look classy, while colored jeans are hot this season. However jeans are not one size fits all; it all depends on your curves, mostly your hips and thighs.Girl, embrace what you got, and flaunt it! So I'll tell you guys about how my legs are and these are the styles that I've found to elongate the look of my legs and still fit comfortably. Levi's also has their Curve ID quiz that I would recommend; I don't actually wear any of their Curve ID jeans but I do like the idea. Okay so obviously I'm a soccer player (from all those SGP posts! Holla to my soccer ladies!) and I have muscular legs, especially my thighs. There's no thigh gap happening here, no matter how hard I try. So I go for semi-skinny jeans and straight jeans usually. The super skinny jeans first of all make me feel like I'm dying and bring soooo much attention to my thighs which is not good. Semi-skinny jeans and straight jeans help not bring so much attention to my thunder thighs and make my legs look a little more vertical rather than horizontal. Also boyfriend jeans are a staple in my closet, and I'll probably make a post just about them later.

So let's get into some jeans ladies!
1. Lucky Brand Zoe Skinny/Straight Jeans ($70-90)
So I have a few pairs of these and they are like my HOLY GRAIL, hands down my favorite kind of jeans. I seriously love them so much. One thing though, they are a little bit bunched around my ankles, but I wear my jeans pretty low so that might just be me. But there are lots of shades of denim and they go well with everything! So that is the Zoe!
2. Miss Me ($90-120)
Okay, I'm not actually a big fan of Miss Mes actually. They're pretty overpriced in my opinion, and I don't like rhinestones on my butt. No. But they offer a large range of styles and they're pretty nice if you're into flashy jeans that cost a pretty penny. I actually have a pair but they're at the back of my closet, so all you haters out there thinking that "She wouldn't know, she doesn't have them." yes I do.
3. True Religion Stella Skinny ($150-200)
These cost a bit too, but I really like the style of these too. They're not extremely tight and balance out my legs a little, which hey is a plus for me. For all you skinny-minis out there, you might not care. These are jeans I would really invest in to last for a long time.

Okay so those are just some that I have opinions on, but typing all of my thoughts would be way too much effort. And I might just have a seventy-five bone test tomorrow that I haven't studied for yet... But anyway, those are some goodies, American Eagle, Pacsun, and Hollister all have pretty decent jeans too. I recommend going during the denim sale at Pacsun they have every so often. Bullhead jeans are approved by this soccer lady. Well, thank you so much my wonderful viewers, I really mean this. And have a good day, I love you all to the moon and back! Stay beautiful! (:

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
