Early Spring Fashion Haul 2014

Fashion Helping The World

I recently purchased a couple of accessories that were really inspiring. Not because of how they looked, but because of their purpose. The first item I purchased was this cute shoulder/ cross body bag that doubles as a mini tote. In addition to looking cute, it actually provides 20 meals to starving children and families in America! That's amazing! And the founder has the same first name as me so I thought that was pretty cool too!

This bag is sold at Target along with the rest of the FEED collection! You can check out the collection here: http://www.target.com/c/feed-usa/-/N-55tua#?lnk=feedSS

And you can find out more about FEED here: http://www.feedprojects.com/

My second purchase was this beautiful beaded bracelet that gives women in Nepal a source of income to provide for their families. It is handmade and I just love the pattern so much!

I got it from this church gift shop when I went on vacation and the company is Alexa's Angels. Here's the website: http://www.alexas-angels.com/consumer/

I'm not sure if they sell these online though, but you can still check it out!

Anyways, I just love the idea of fashion helping the world. When I have my own company and my own fashion line, that's what I want to be like. I want to help others in need while fulfilling my dreams! I hope you enjoyed this post and don't forget to check out the links because it's really inspiring!

Mini Spring Shopping Spree

I love spring shopping! The clothes are light and pretty, and everything seems so delicate. Spring is the time to try new styles and discover a new you! It's time to shed your winter coats and trade them for some cute tank tops and shorts! Okay, so anyways, I've been trying to find some collared shirts for spring, but none of them seemed to fit me right. I finally found some (plus a couple other lovely items) when I went shopping today and here they are:

These shirts are from Ross and I bought them for about $10 each. The polka dots are adorable and I absolutely love the colors. They both have lace details and would look great with jeans, skirts, or shorts! (Spring outfits post coming soon!!!!)

Next, I bought these shorts from Target for about $20. They are super cute and they are actually not as short as they seem. It came with the belt, so that makes it even more awesome! Plus, you can take out the belt and use it with your jeans or over a pretty dress!

Okay so then, I saw these beauties at Ross. Oh my gosh. I could not put them down, I just loved them so much. There was no way I was going to leave the store without them. Seriously, right? They were $50, but the original price was $90. I think that's a pretty good deal! haha :) You can wear these with any type of bottom (skirts, shorts, jeans) and even a dress! Wear it your own way!

I also bought the April issue of Seventeen Magazine, ($3) so I can read about all the new fashions this month! It's a total necessity guys, can't live without it. Hahaha just kidding, but I really like fashion magazines.

Lastly, I got this retro cassette tape iPhone case for $2 at Michaels. It fits really well and it's made out of silicone. They also had a black one and a pink one, but I picked this one because it's my favorite color :)

Okay, that's it! So overall, I spent about $95. But, I think it was worth it because the shoes will probably last forever, the shorts can practically be worn with anything, and everything else is just so adorable. It's okay to buy something really expensive once in a while, just make sure that you will definitely wear it and that it will last.

Have a fabulous day!
