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.

Original Wayfarer Top Texture On Black  / G-15 XLT
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: Swimsuits!

Hi my beach beauties! So it's probably spring break for most of you and I'm sorry this probably won't help then, but if you still need a swimsuit I've got your back. So these will be most accommodated to my body type which would be athletic: smaller chest and thicker legs, but with rocking abs. This are great because you need to look cute for that boy! Maybe, or you just want to look nice on the beach which is awesome too. Let's get started!

1. Billabong Jade Stringer Bikini (Top and bottoms are $29.95, total is $59.90 at Pacsun)
So this is just a really cute bikini and I really like the design. I like the triangle top because it gives better coverage in my opinion, and the bottoms are cute too. I do recommend getting a larger size in swimsuits in general (Don't worry, you're still a skinny mini!) because of the shrinkage and coverage. My biggest tip is TRY IT ON! Unless you're absolutely sure/ have no other options, which is not good. At least go into the store and see if it's available there. It might be awkward, but think of all the other awkward situations you're avoiding.


2. Beach Sexy Ruffle Push-Up Bandeau Bikini (Top $36.50, Bottoms $20.50, total $57.00 at Victoria's Secret)
I LOVE VICTORIA'S SECRET BIKINIS. They're seriously so cute and so worth the money. I will admit, it might look a little risque in the store, but they are so nice. I really like this pair, even though I probably would try to avoid the bandeau thing. Bad experience, especially since I got nothing going on up top. You can figure it out. My rule now is the bandeau needs a tie behind the neck as well as the middle clasp. This is floral and polka dots! How can you say no?



3. Balboa Island Swim Triangle Bikini (Top $24.50, bottoms $19.50, total $43.00 at Hollister)
Okay I admit, I'm not a huge fan of Hollister but last year, my roommate had the cutest bikini from Hollister so I decided to branch out this year. This one is really cute, it's blue with this lighter blue pattern on it and I think it will look great on the beach.




4. Atomic Hottie Bikini (Top $74.00, bottom $58.00, total $132.00 at Betsey Johnson)
I love Betsey Johnson soooooooooooo much, it's undeniable. This will look so cute in the sun and against a tan. The pattern is really nice and I really like it.



Okay that's all I've got this time! See you next time, XOXO.

Let's Talk: FRO-YO

Hellllo my yummies to another edition of Let's Talk! It's been a long time since the last one... Oops. So fro-yo is a very yummy treat that is enjoyed by all usually. It's short for frozen yogurt and is usually used instead of ice cream. It's healthier and there are enzymes and other good things in there! There are many chains of fro-yo like RED MANGO, pinkberry, yogurtland, forever yogurt, etc. So I sort of love Red Mango with a great burning passion and every time I go, I get the largest cup and fill it up full of stuff. Yeah it might cost $10 but it's a yummy cost. It's also less calories compared to other goodies. For a 323 gram cup (large) at Red Mango in Lemonade, it's 320 calories. What is that??? Seriously it is so unbelievably great.
So in 2012, there were 820 frozen yogurt shops all over the US and they collectively made $195 million. Geeez. It means, on average, each shop made $200 grand profit. Goodness! Frozen yogurt is a great alternative to ice cream and can be topped for a low-calorie treat that will delight all! I strongly suggest Red Mango and don't try the original there. It tastes weird. But anything else is good, especially the boba! Popping balls of fruity goodness!!! And their rewards system is great!! I can't even express my love for it properly.
The only problem might be that you spend all of your money but hey, whatever. And the self-serve places? Soooooo amazing.
Okay I have to go, so I'll see you all later pipsqueaks! XOXO have a good day!

DOGEARED & POLYVORE

Hi my smooooches. How are y'all? More importantly, how are your brackets? Mine's in the trash, and I was so mad when Harvard won. Seriously, what? There went my bracket, but I would love to go to college there! Haha, I like to think I'm funny. So more important things: I've made a Polyvore so you guys can see what I create and I deleted some of them on accident so let me see what I can do. Right now I think Studs is the only one up, because I deleted the Pandamonium on accident. Oops.
And now Dogeared. So today, if I had infinite stacks of money, I'll show you what I would get from Dogeared.
1. 3 Wishes Long Bars Necklace ($82.00)
I really love barely-there, dainty necklaces that just are wearable for everyday. This one is definitely one of those, with three bars: gold, rose gold, and sterling silver. I really like the meaning behind this necklace and I just love it.
2. Small Sideways Cross Necklace ($62.00)
This is part of their Faith collection and I really like this. I may not seem super religious to you guys, but church is pretty important to me. I really like this compared to the large one because I feel it looks awkward then. This comes in sterling silver and gold dipped and I feel like I like the gold a bit more, but still impartial to both!
3. Dream of Love Necklace ($50.00)
This is a gorgeous necklace with a little gold heart on a silver chain. Is it too late to ask for a cute love story now?
4. Life's a Beach Pearl Necklace ($48.00)
So pearls are my birthstone and this just makes me that more attracted to it. I reallly like all of their Pearls of collection but this takes the cake.
5. Sparkle Wishbone Necklace Gold Dipped ($58.00)
Okay so does it make any sense that the gold costs less than the silver? Anyway I love wishbones and this is so pretty!

Okay so that's my top five for Dogeared and I'll probably do this for Tiffany because I love Tiffany. It's an essential to girly life. But yes, I love dogeared and sorry it was all necklaces, I have a slight obsession. Okay stay beautiful XOXO
