OOTD

Hello there!


So recently I bought a new skater skirt, which is a high-waisted, flared, mini skirt, unbearably adorable while still being free. I usually get really excited when I buy new things and wear them quite a bit, all at once. But I've only worn this beauty a few times so far and it's not because I don't like it, I searched for the longest time to find this gem but I'm having trouble trying to match it with tops and things... But here's the outfit I made from it the other day...




Top: Wet Seal- $18
Skirt: Bethany Mota Collection at Aeropostale- $24
Cardigan: Aeropostale- no longer available
Flip Flops: Roxy- no longer available

I ended up pulling the skirt a bit higher but I've had this top for awhile now and wear it all the time, I really love loose, nice looking tank tops for a good outfit in a state with bipolar weather, though I feel like everyone says their weather is bipolar.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed!

Have a Wonderful Day!

Spring Wishlist

Hellooooo there!

Today I wanted to write about my Spring wishlist, I know it's not Spring yet but these 80 degree California days would have me thinking otherwise. I haven't been shopping at all in the last couple of months so it's getting pretty long but I always love writing about it, not sure why...

Denim Shorts


California is heating up again with a few 80 degree days, a little crazy to think it's still winter but I have to start thinking about summer clothes. I had a pair, the same ones for 5 years and last year they finally ripped. So I finally have an excuse to go buy new ones, always a fun time. I am just a slight Pinterest addict and have found so many adorable outfits with denim shorts. 

Aviators have a time and place and this would happen to be one of them

Sweaters get warm in shorts weather but if you're comfortable...

Perfect beach outfit, non-restrictive to climb around the rocks and unbearably adorable! Love lace

Big, loose cardigans

I'm dying for some long, open front cardigans, varying in color, they are perfect for a weather that varies 30 degrees in a matter of hours and with the right colors accessorize flawlessly. 


This is a staple outfit in CA, don't know if I would've chosen ripped shorts but I love the way this otherwise simple outfit was accessorized 

More of a fall outfit but just wanted to show the lovely loose tank and cardigan combo

Skirts

If you look through my New Years Resolutions here the very first one was to dress nicer so I really need to get on that and start buying more nice clothing to fulfill this resolution. However last month I tracked down what may have been the last small black skater skirt in the Bethany Mota collection from Aeropostale which was on my last wishlist post here.


So fancy, would wear this any day, especially with the skirt's subtle sparkles

Again a very fancy pairing but I think this one is even more formal

Far more casual than the last two but definitely still very nice looking and varying fit between loose and tight

Crop tops can be controversial but I love when they are used like this, accomplishing purpose without being too showy, but that's more of personal preference

Dresses

I do love my skirts but why limit nice dressing to new skirts when there are dresses as well? While skirts can be dressier than dresses and dresses more casual than skirts as an extremely general idea I've always viewed dresses as more formal/nice/dressy (dresses are dressy?!? *gasp*) than skirts but I could be wrong


Loving springs floral pattern, all so lovely

More formal example of the floral trend, don't know if I could pull off the heels but I'd definitely try!

I believe I posted this for a fall post but I still think the fit and flare dresses are adorable I would just look for different colors and possibly shorter sleeves

Anyways that's what I've been looking for recently and hopefully I actually start fulfilling this resolution even though I've taken 2 months to do it... ;)

Comment below: what's on your Spring wishlist?

Have a Wonderfully Fashionable Day!

Trends I'm Loving

Hello there!

Unfortunately I've recently hit an economic roadblock and lacking any money for new products, I found myself at a lack as a beauty writer. However, I've now decided to come back and write as much as I can so I apologize for the lengthy break and hope to do better now :)

Also during my break I hit 300 followers which is so amazing, THANK YOU!!! <3

Anyways, as spring approaches we all clean out our closets and make way for the new. Inspired by Fashion Week a la Paris, I have come up with some trends I think will be interesting this exciting Spring...

Pale Pink


As rosy blogs have increased on Tumblr and flowers start to bloom I have fallen in love with the pale pink color, a color I noticed on the runway of one of my favorite designers, Ellie Saab, as well. 

... And other Pastel Colors


While the pale pink would have to be my favorite, I loved all of the other pastels on the runway this year like this wonderful purple, they're all so energetic yet soft, making me want to jump into spring and buy some new sundresses. 

Light Eye Makeup


Last year, the world was all about eyeliner, thick and brave, wings sharp enough to kill a man, but lately I've been favoring much less eyeliner or none at all. I've found a nice coat of mascara makes me look awake without crowding out my eyes or looking overdone. I still see women who look flawlessly beautiful with as much eyeliner as they want but I think I'm over it, at least for awhile. A nice plus is it takes almost 10 minutes out of my morning, perfecting flawlessly symmetrical wings... 

Crop Tops


Last summer these started becoming very popular but they were judged so harshly I didn't dare get one but it's looking like they're going to come back this warm season. I'm excited and I will definitely be getting some this year, they are adorable with high waisted shorts, skirts, and work perfectly for the blazing California heat. 

Floral Patterns

This one may have been my favorite, I'm really loving flowers right now... like a lot. I've already noticed my favorite shops releasing floral everything skirts and shirts, bows and almost everything you could imagine putting a flower on is now rosy and ready to be worn in this lovely spring season. My favorite flowers are peonies but I think almost everything is roses which are equally as beautiful. 

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this post on my favorite new trends, what are some of your new favorites? Tell me in the comments below!

Have a Wonderful Day!

I'm Sorry

Hello there!

I am sending my sincerest apologies for I've not written anything in ages! I really do apologize and hope that you won't give up on me yet... I've been extraordinarily busy and uninspired lately but I hope to resolve this soon and hopefully get back into blogging sometime soon because I do miss it everyday. Hope you're all doing well!!!

New favorite flower... peonies! Aren't they lovely?

Have a Wonderful Day!
