Polka Dots and Mint

I absolutely love Disney. It just always puts me in a happy mood and brings out the kid in me (not that it ever left haha). Anyways, I recently went to Downtown Disney and I wanted to wear an outfit that fit well with the fun vibe but also agreed with the hot, humid weather. The final ensemble consisted of these super cute and fun polka dot shorts that are short enough to keep you cool but long enough to maintain a classy and somewhat conservative style, a light mint top, green strappy sandals, and my favorite teal purse. For accessories I am wearing a mint/ light teal watch, a chain statement necklace that has little turquoise rocks in it, and some nautical looking aviator sunglasses. And by nautical looking, I mean that it has a little anchor charm on it haha. I think this is a great stylish and girly summer outfit for vacation or even just going out to the mall! It was definitely comfortable and I think it matched the Disney theme well! Another thing I love about Disney would be the food. Oh. My. Gosh. Everything is just too cute, especially the Mickey Macarons. Besides that, I also found a really cute book called "The Little Dictionary of Fashion" by Christian Dior. I wanted it so badly, but I'm saving for a camera, and since my computer is almost full with all of my pictures and videos, I should probably invest in an external hard drive too. But anyways, I really hope you enjoyed this post, and I'm sorry I've been posting mostly videos lately. I got so excited starting my YouTube channel that I forgot how much I loved taking pictures and just blogging. So I hope you have a fab day!

Sassy 17

So my birthday was on December 14th :) and I turned 17!!!! It wasn't a "Sweet 16" it was a "Sassy 17!" Haha I stayed at a really nice hotel by the beach with my best friends and it was seriously the most amazing experience I've had, and definitely the best birthday I've had. Everything was so perfect! We dressed up in fancy dresses, took pictures and then we changed and just hung out on the grounds. I am so grateful for this experience, and I want to thank my dad for making it all happen for me, and also my friends Ana and Brooke for being so amazing <3 So here are some pictures!!

  

  

If you're wondering where I got my dress, it was from Ross for only $16, and my shoes are from Payless. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this post! Let me know what you think! More posts coming soon, I promise! I have tons of pictures that I've been dying to upload, I just haven't had the time lately.

Casual Day Out

Today's post is super short, but I just wanted to show one of my casual summer outfits! It is so easy to recreate and perfect for a summer day.

My crop top is from Forever 21 and it is very light and breathable, and the design is so cool. It kind of reminds me of Greece or somewhere like that! Anyways, my light denim skirt is from  Target, and I bought it on clearance so it was only about $3! For accessories, I am wearing my round sunglasses from Aeropostale ($5) , a vintage alligator clasp cross body bag that I recently purchased at the flea market for $2, and gold stud earrings from Charming Charlie. Lastly, my shoes are coach sneakers and I bought them from Ross for about 50% off of their original price! I think it was about $25.

I hope you enjoyed this little outfit post! This ensemble can be worn when you go shopping, hang out with friends, and it could also be used as a school outfit! It is comfortable and totally affordable!

Spring Outfits 2013!

First Outfit: I am wearing a pink peter pan collar shirt from Ross, denim shorts from Target, wedges from Target, and floral sunglasses from Charming Charlie's. I made the bracelets and the pearl earrings. This outfit is cute, pretty, and flirty. The accessories need to be simple so as not to distract from the shirt. The lace details on the collar and the bottom of the shirt make it feel more delicate and girly. You could wear this outfit to school, to lunch, or on a shopping trip with the girls! It is so simple and easy to put together.

Second Outfit: I am wearing a blue dress from Abercrombie, a gray shirt from American Eagle, a chain necklace from Forever 21, and Coach sneakers from Ross. I think this outfit is pretty cool haha! It has a skater vibe to it while still being kind of girly and dressy. I like that the shoes pop because they have the only white in the whole outfit. I love the pink stripe on the side too! You could wear this out for bowling, on a picnic, going over to a friends house, and school if you wanted to!

Third Outfit: I am wearing a white collared shirt with blue polka dots from Ross, denim shorts from target, sandals from DSW, dream catcher earrings from PacSun, sunglasses from Charlotte Russe, gold clutch from Mary Kay, and bracelets that I made. I love this outfit because it is very simple and it reminds me of going to the park and playing in the grass! This shirt also has lace details on the shoulder part as well as on the back. I love the tie on the front. I would wear this to the beach or the park. It is nice and comfortable while still being fashionable and delicate for spring.

I hope you enjoyed these outfits! They could easily be customized to your style and can also be easily transitioned from spring to summer!

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!
