OOTD Boho Inspired Beach Look

I haven't actually really gone clothing shopping in a long time, so I've had to get creative with my outfit choices and work with what I already have. I've also been deep cleaning my room, so luckily I've been finding super cute shirts and accessories that I totally forgot about because they may or may not have been buried under my mountain of craft supplies... oops... But moving on, I found this ADORABLE printed scarf with tassels on it, and I decided at that moment that I absolutely MUST create an outfit using this scarf before the heat gets unbearable. I paired it with this loose open shoulder top and high waisted jeans, along with some fun bracelets and rings. How would you guys style the scarf? I'm sure it could fit into many different styles of fashion so I'm curious to know what you guys would do with it! Anyways, have a super fabulous, positive, and productive day!

DIY Pom Pom Shorts

Good morning! I've been loving the pom pom shorts trend for awhile now and I finally got around to making my own! I've seen them all over social media, mostly tumblr, and I just had to film a tutorial on how to make your own! This fashion diy is really simple and I'm totally gonna rock these throughout the whole summer, no joke. I like that they're super fun and unique and they can be dressed up or down depending on what you pair them with. I hope you enjoy my tutorial and let me know what you think! Have a fabulous day!

Fourth of July 2014

Happy Independence Day for everyone who lives in the United States! I always love dressing up in red, white and blue and doing fireworks! Today I am wearing a sheer white floral top from TJ Maxx, a blue bubble necklace from Charming Charlie, a blue hair bow that I made, and a dark red skirt from Brandy Melville but you can't see it in the picture haha! You'll just have to imagine what it looks like because the minute I stepped out to take a full body picture, it started pouring rain outside. Anyways, I found this really cool layered drink idea on Pinterest and basically you fill a cup with ice then you pour in your different drinks. The one with the highest sugar content goes first (the red in my case) , and then you pour a drink with less sugar (the white) in the middle, and the last layer (the blue) will have the least amount of sugar. I used cranberry juice, coconut juice and Gatorade. And then I cut watermelon into stars to go on my favorite blue plate! :) I hope you guys liked my outfit and diy ideas and have a fabulous day!

Casual OOTD - Bass Pro Shops

 

I used to never like going to any other stores besides clothing stores and fabric stores, but now I'm pretty much open to going anywhere! One place in particular that I think is a really fun store would be Bass Pro Shops! It is literally soooo cool in there and its HUGE! I'm not even into fishing or hunting haha I just like looking at how they decorated, AND there's a huge fish tank too! So yeah, as you can tell, I went to Bass Pro Shops recently and I decided to make a post on my casual outfit of the day! I've been really loving the fashion kimono trend and when I found this knit kimono/ cardigan, I literally freaked! It's super perfect for spring!

OUTFIT DETAILS: knit kimono/cardigan (Ross), blue tank (Forever 21), fish necklace (Forever 21), leggings/ yoga pants (Aeropostale), cross body bag (Target), sandals (DSW), sunglasses (Urban Outfitters)

Explore

I love to explore. I enjoy going to nature parks, the beach, new neighborhoods, pretty much anywhere you can walk around and find new things. Besides physical exploration, I love to explore through books and, of course, fashion. They can take you places you've never dreamed of and help you discover adventure in ordinary settings. I recently just finished "Gulliver's  Travels" by Jonathan Swift and it was very enjoyable. I had to read it for my English class, but it felt like I was reading for pleasure because it was so interesting. If you haven't read it already and you like adventure books, I definitely recommend it!

Outfit Details: Teal Shirt (Kohls), Leather Jacket (Aeropostale), Orange Infinity Scarf (it was a gift), Jeans (American Eagle), Black Combat Boots (Target)

I am so excited for spring to come! It is my absolute favorite season! Anyways, here's an outfit that would work on a warmer winter day and it could easily be worn in spring as well! I love how all of the colors stand out! This outfit could also work with mint jeans/ jeggings if it's too cold for shorts, and you could also substitute the white sneakers for some black combat boots for an edgier vibe!

Outfit Details: Sweater (American Eagle), Mint Shorts (local beach store), White Watch (Macy's), White Sneakers (Target), Aviator Sunglasses, Earrings and Necklace (Charming Charlie's)
