Hello Beauties!

One day I was incredibly bored and decided to start shopping for my Italy trip (this April). All of the stuff came today, and naturally being the overly-excited person that I am I threw it on (tags and all) and took photos for all ya’ll to admire. So admire away. *P.S. I’m kinda sick and on break so this is definitely a #IWokeUpLikeThis moment*

American Eagle has this Soft and Sexy line, and if you ever need any kind of shirt, get it from this line. They are honest to God so so so soft, and might I add very sexy! I got me about this is the pale blue color as well as the flowy cut to the top. It’s incredibly light, perfect for spring in Italy!

This little number is also from the Soft and Sexy line, and it most definitely lives up to the name. I knew that I wanted a crop top or a tank top, and this combines the two with an adorable tie accent. It’s very light (not sheer) so I’d layer it with some kind of sweater for the trip. This will be super for hot summer days though!

I haven’t had a pair of capris in ages, and these are by far the best ones I’ve tried on! They’re the Artist Crop Jeans in sateen, making them incredibly stretchy and comfortable. I also love the army green because it goes with practically everything in practically every season.

This dress is also from the Soft and Sexy collection. With side cutouts, a loose frame, and a simple cut it will be perfect to accessorize with. Adding some eye-catching jewelry will take this versatile piece to the next level. Because of this it will be perfect for travel when I will have to mix and match my way through those ten day!

Hello Beauties!

It’s here! Stores are advertising their best, and shortest, dresses, skirts, and ROMPERS! That’s right ladies and gentlemen, we have made it through the deadly winter and we have been given the ultimate reward: sun, pool days, and no pants. What could be better??

I actually grabbed this beauty off a cluttered rack in Plato’s Closet for about $12. When I realized that it was made by H&M, the deal was sweetened.

The back dips with a couple of criss-crossy things, making it a little bit more interesting. Plus, it has freaking pockets. People… it has POCKETS. Anyone stuck with carrying money, tampons, keys, and a cell phone will understand my excitement about pockets.

Back to the back (haha joke), I’d advise wearing a bralette, much like the one I bought at Aerie! I don’t think I can go on enough about how much I adore this brand, so I will leave you to test them yourselves. Buy one of their bras. Maybe even a bralette. Get their underwear for goodness sakes! You will not be disappointed.

For accessories I could not resist to grab my favorite (and only; they’re expensive) TOPSHOP necklace. Wearing anything black is the perfect excuse to bust out a bright-coral, chain neck-piece. To go with the necklace, I chose my new Ulta matte lipstick in the shade 250, which is a bright pinky-coral, and then to add a little shimmer I dabbed my favorite Tarte lipgloss in the color flush on my bottom lip.

And for the grand finale, these knit Converse high-tops. Yes, they are knit. Yes, I adore them. I call them my “sweaters for feet”. I’m thinking about doing a week of just my favorite/slightly crazy shoes, because I have a few. These just added a very classic summer vibe to the whole outfit, but they are unique enough to safely bet that no one else would have them. Plus, white shoes make your legs look tan, so I enjoy those benefits!

Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks,

Hello Beauties!

It’s super early in the morning when I’m writing this, so it might not be my finest hour (sorry). I’m so very dedicated to bringing you guys this Fashion Friday’s outfit, which obviously has to do with Spring even though it’s starting to feel more like summer. But Spring calls for pastels, light jeans, and soft sweaters all day, every day. So this is my kinda everyday, middle weather pastel outfit!

Since it was cooler outside, I opted for a comfortable pair of American Eagle skinny jeans, which are soft as a baby’s bottom. Okay, they aren’t that soft, lets be real they are still denim. I paired them with this pastel pink blouse to dress the whole outfit up a little bit and also to add a more flattering touch to my figure! Then I finished it off with my go-to Old Navy sweater as a cover up for, you know, covering up…

Then there are these suede wedges from Modcloth. Even though they started to hurt my feet after a while, I regret nothing. At all. They have small, teardrop-shaped cutouts on the sides as well to add a little more flair! They are like nothing that I’ve ever seen or worn, meaning that you will get MAJOR compliments with these puppies!

Shirt: Forever 21

Sweater: Old Navy

Black Friday Haul!!!!

Hello My Beauties!

This year’s Black Friday shopping was unbelievable! The savings were amazing and I was able to buy a lot more than I thought I’d be able to be with the money I brought. SO here is my Black Friday Haul for all of you beautiful readers! Please comment with anything you liked as well as the stores you hit up that Friday!

*I just want to say that I did not go shopping on Thanksgiving. I personally don’t support having stores open that early but that’s just one girl’s opinion*

STORES: American Eagle, XXI Forever, Aldo MONEY: $120

American Eagle Outfitters

So I was able to get a huge discount at AE this year! Not only were they having a 40% off your entire purchase, but I was also able to get $20 off after using the gift card my friend got me for their stores, so thank you Gracie! As for what I bought, I got a really super duper soft striped tee that I just absolutely adore! I’ve never found a shirt with maroon and baby blue color combo and it immediately caught my eye! I also got a super cute flannel button up for this winter. It’s also extremely soft, and I got it in a large since a) they didn’t have my size and b) I liked the bigger fit of it.

XXI Forever

I am so excited for all of the stuff I got at XXI Forever! Their deals weren’t super impressive, but I did have the incredible surprise of having the dress (shown below) be only $6 instead of $20. I bought this really adorable pack of four rings because I have been really needing some new finger candy! I also got this incredible pack of TEN earrings for only FIVE BUCKS! Honestly, if you are ever looking for a place to get great, inexpensive jewelry, Forever 21 is the place to go!

I also bought this super cute, very wintery dress that fits perfectly to accent what small curves I posses, an athletic tank top because I like to think that I am fit in some way, and finally this adorable velvet-black, flower-patterened crop top!

Aldo

I didn’t actually mean to buy anything from Aldo, but once I say these shoes I couldn’t stop myself! The crazy shopping side of me reared its head and I purchased the shoes. It happens to the best of us. No, but seriously I fell into a deep and maddening love when I saw these bad boys! I have been looking for a pair of riding boots for ages but I could never find a pair that I liked, and then I found these and I died a little. They are perfectly accented with the laces and embellishments on the toe but they still keep that riding-boot aesthetic. But wait, there’s more. They were 50% off! So yeah I bought the shoes! Who would’t buy the shoes!? Voldemort probably, but we don’t talk of him or his lack of style…

Okie-dokie thank you all so much for reading and definitely look forward to seeing these items in future posts of mine! Here’s hoping that your holidays were amazing and that you all have a great time shopping for loved ones for this Christmas/ Hanukkah/ Kwanzaa/ Winter Solstice or whatever else you might celebrate!

Peace, Love, and Baby Ducks,
