BELL SLEEVES FOR FALL

sweater|| jeans|| mules|| handbag|| earrings One trend I’m loving for fall is the bell sleeve trend! This trend was really big this summer and it’s still going strong into fall. When I first saw this sweater, I was on the fence about it. Don’t get me wrong, I loved this sweater the moment I saw it and the price was great ($39), but wasn’t sure I needed it. After talking to the sales associate, she convinced me. First, ...

I love that it goes along with the pajama shirt trend, only it’s a dress version. The cinched waist helps define your waist ...

FEELIN’ BLUE

tank// skirt// bag// shoes The best way to short the length of a top is to knot it. I’ve been doing this a lot lately because it’s not as bulky as tucking the whole shirt in.  Besides, this maxi skirt deserves all the attention! When I saw it on VICI COLLECTION, it said it was paisley print. All I could think of was when Elle Woods from Legally Blonde 2 said “As sure as I am that nobody looks good in paisley.” Does ...

EASY SUMMER STYLE WITH A MAXI SKIRT

tee// skirt// shoes// bag// earrings c/o With summer here, that means easy, breezy summer style. I have always had a thing for maxi skirts and dresses. They give a boho vibe to any outfit. Not only are they stylish and perfectly on trend, but they are comfortable! This vici collection maxi skirt has slits on both sides, but don’t worry there is a mini skirt underneath (it’s lined). I love that it is high-waisted and has a belt ...

THE STONES

It’s no secret that I love rocker tees and vintage band t-shirts. My collection continues to grow! I have been looking for a unique Rolling Stones t-shirt for a while now. I grew up listening to the Stones. My dad always told me about how they were getting older, but still had a lot of rock left in them. When I saw this top by VICI COLLECTION I knew it was perfect. It has the Rolling Stones lips, but with fangs and a leopard print ...

BEAUTY BABBLE// OUAI WAVE SPRAY

With summer officially begun, I feel like hair care gets more simplified. I love the look of beach hair that has a little texture and wave to it.  Some wave sprays have funny smells or leave your hair looking greasy. I have tried many wave sprays, but never seem to buy the same one again. Enter OUAI HAIRCARE wave spray. First off, this stuff smells like perfume, some may find it a bit strong, but it does not linger for long. It just smells ...
