iPhone Case Guide

Hollla my ottters, how have you been? I've been super cray busy so sorry about the lack of posts. So today we're talking about: IPHONE CASES! Lots of people have iPhones and I'm pretty sure you can make a pretty penny off of cases nowadays. I'll walk you through some that have a number of uses.

1. Lifeproof ($79.99)
So these cases are hard-core, meant to last through everything. Water, sand, accidental drops, you name it. They are a little pricey but hey, it lives up to it's name. It's also fairly thin which is something that most people like. My best friend has one and he says it's great. It comes with like a two-part case with a plug for the earphones. The only problem I see is taking the case off, which is a hassle I've heard.
2. Otterbox ($35-$55)
Okay so these are so outrageously well-known probably since they're built for klutzes and they work magically. It is not built for water or sand like the Lifeproof though and depending on the case you get, the case can be a bit bulky. I have the Defender actually (number one klutz right here) and it is worth the bulk. This case has saved my phone from smashing so many times and their customer service is so nice. I called for a replacement case on the warranty and they shipped it within a few days. I'll show you guys which one I have; it's plum and hot pink. Oh and these are three part cases.

3. Speck ($35-$50)
These are nice colored cases but they don't offer as much protection as the first two cases. They still work well for the more coordinated people in the house and are made with excellent quality. I believe these are two part cases but I could be mistaken.

4. Kate Spade ($40 + shipping)
I adore Kate Spade and honestly I would love to get one of these cases but I would have to pay for shipping first off and secondly it's only covering the back and that makes me antsy. But these have the cutest designs, I especially like the yellow hello, sunshine one!

5. Balloon Girl ($15 +)
So you all probably know that my good old picture on the blog is of Banksy's balloon girl, infamous and is now plastered on cases and posters. I really do the design and this case is a gorgeous turquoise. Same thing with the less protection, but eh.

6. NO CASE
YOLO at your own risk. Enough said.

That's it my loves, see you next time! Muah, XOXO oh and James and Dave Franco. Just because.

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
