Spring Floral :Blogger's Spring Lookbook

When Spring arrives, so do the flowers.
Welcome Back to my blog! This is another segment of Spring Blogger's fashion by Jade and I.Today, I decided to post on floral prints, since I will die over anything like that in the store. (Literally, die over it as in throwing a tantrum) I've always thought that floral prints were a beautiful welcome message for Spring. .

For the first outfit, I chose patterns that are really appropriate, as they bring out aspects of an item. I chose a Spring Break 2013 bubblegum pink top(No idea what to do when you get to 2014) but this could act as a souvenir or remembrance of the good times.(You know what I mean?) Since the sunglasses in the outfit already have the colors inside, I decided to choose a similar pair of jeans. I love these jeans because the blue is so pretty, and I really love the flowers on them. They remind me of the cherry blossoms in Washington DC. Since I thought that yellow would give a good pop of color, I Incorporated a pair of strapped heels, and a bag. I wouldn't recommend wearing heels if you are playing sports or riding your bike outside. This outfit just reminds me of bubblegum 99.9%.

The last but not least, the cute and dressy one! I love the lace top since it reminds me of a doll and the stitching is just "a-mah-zing"(just to emphasize) I love wearing tops like these because you can dress them up or down. For the pants, I chose a pair of almost tie die and ombre pants, and I just think the orange in the outfit is gorgeous. The flowers also give it a more beachy theme. For shoes, I chose a bright orange heel and to top it off, I added a quilted lace bow bag.

I hope you enjoyed this post! Enjoy Spring Break and comment below for any suggestions. Also, feel free to browse Jade's blog!

Affordable Spring Must Haves

Beauty Queen: Buy less, save more.

So, with every seasonal transition, some of us just lose or knack for shopping. One bad habit I have is that I don't buy useful stuff, and I waste a lot of money. Sometimes, we spend a lot of money on excess, or "things not needed".

I've realized that I could narrow it down to just 8 things, that can help you survive through this season. Not just survive, but enjoy.

1) I find that you can layer in Fall and Spring, since the temperature is not to cold or not to hot. The light floral jacket really captures the essence of spring and welcomes the new season. This jacket is only $30. I recommend investing a bit more in these items, since you only need one and you want durable items. It's a great jacket to just throw on and off. They go great with dress outfits, or just outfits that are casual with the classic jeans. H&M

2) It that classic shoe again. In other words, your "best friend". Converse can be worn all year long and they are durable. Converse are usually $50, but you can find these for $30 at outlets or when they are on sale. Also, many celebrities wear them, and you can always accessorize with studs. I like all of the colors, and you can even buy different colored shoe laces!

3) Lace is that item that's always in your closet, and a great way to dress up a look. It's preppy and chic, and one lace top could make all the difference. I find that Hollister really specializes in this, since they have collections dedicated to lace. I think it's such a feminine look, and it's a timeless piece to keep in your closet. This one is only $20, and they are very durable. I've also seen cheaper ones.

4)Keeping track of everything is one definition for a satchel. Now, we all know how painful a big bag can be, just dragging it around with you everywhere. Sometimes, even designer brand bags have straps that slip off, so you're left with a very uncomfortable feeling. I like cross body bags like satchels, since it really welcomes spring and you just feel more relaxed and more flexible with it. I recommend these if you are going on vacation, or just running some errands since they can be very handy.

5)Oh what would we all do without these?They protect us from harmful rays of sunshine, and possibly the paparazzi. However, they can easily pulled off. Sunglasses come in many shapes:Cat eye, Round, Aviators,etc. I love aviators, since they are retro and chic. They really compliment any one who wears them and many celebrities wear them. Sunglasses can be found at all prices to suit your budget.

6)Something that you might have in your closet already is a high waisted skirt. The ones from hollister have a strong yet flexible material that I just simply adore. Sometimes, I'll have old t shirts that I never wear, but when I style them with this,it changes everything completely. I also prefer lace tops with these, and you can turn it into a girly or casual look. Having one or two of these could make all the difference, and they are affordable and super inexpensive!

7) Having a pair of flats can give your sneakers a break. In spring, two shoes will really suffice. I always keep a pair of sneakers, but I'll always have a pair of flats. Since shoes wear out quickly, we should often give them a break. I don't recommend wearing a pair of shoes for more than 2 to 3 days a week(consecutively). This really wears out the shoe(I speak from experience). I love flats since they feeling super comfortable, and you won't have to deal with the sock! Flats look chic with skirts and jeans, and they really add a beautiful finishing touch.

8)I'm a person who loves jewelry, and I love layering bracelets. I always have a set of either rubber bracelets, bangles, or friendship bracelets at the ready. I always think that they can dress up a plain old t shirt and just instantly add some shine. I like wearing three at a time, and they just make me feel more poised.

I hope this helped! I'll be back soon!

Ways to Wear Skirts

Hi everyone! So today, I thought about doing a post on ways to wear skirts, since some viewers live in warmer climates, and Spring is approaching. I realized that we can't wear denim shorts all day long, since that would be rather......"boring". Skirts are a great way to look chic, and change up your style. Skirts can also be worn anytime, in any season since we can wear leggings.

For the first outfit, I chose a Claude Monet Water Lillies theme, since I simply love the masterpiece he created. I love taking inspiration from nature since sometimes, it can be the most beautiful. For a top, I chose a sky blue jumper, which is a gorgeous pastel. With skirts, I don't recommend wearing a shirt that's really long. I chose a multi color skirt, which really gives the skirt "pizazz" and it just brightens everyone up. I chose some matching shoes that go along with the jumper, since I don't recommend incorporating a lot of colors into outfits. This outfit is perfect if you go to work, or if you're feeling a bit dressy.

The next outfit is a bit neutral, but it incorporates some pops of color. I chose a creamy colored
top, and I love how it's high and low in the back, but it's not too long. I added a patterend skirt that includes some of my favorite colors, and I think they work well for spring. I finished the outfit with a pair of matching creamy colored booties, that keeps the whole outfit balanced.

One must have is a lace top. These are timeless pieces, that can be worn in any season, and they match every outfit. This one's has a pretty reasonable price($20) and I've seen cheaper ones. Lace is very feminine, and although it may seem plain, it's chic and it suits every personality. For the skirt, this one doesn't have any zippers or buttons. It's rather flexible and I love them. I also love that this is a high waisted skirt. I have these skirts in every color, so pretty much, I really love them. Also, instead of the lace top, sometimes a t shirt goes well. I think that these are also must haves and they are also very inexpensive. I finished the outfit with these cute mustache flats or loafers.

Thanks for reading! I'll be back soon! Remember to be a member and comment on any suggestions or compliments:)

Thanksgiving already?

Hi Everyone;)
Aren't you excited?!

As you can see, my blog has changed.
Well, my old template was sort of getting old to me, so I had to change it. Anyway, please tell me what you think in the comments:)
Anyway, let's get started! Ok, so it's almost Thanksgiving and Black Friday. As excited as I am, today's post will be different. Instead, I want to talk about Thanksgiving Feast.
Have you had that relative that you truly love and you can't wait to see them on Thanksgiving? You want to truly impress them and everyone there, but jeans and a t shirt simply won't do? Well, I have some outfit ideas for the style you want;)
Outfit one If you really want to impress someone, This nice dress will sure catch someone's eye. I really like the color of the dress, and the bow looks really nice. The shoes are really glittery which creates a sparkly look. The colors really don't clash in this outfit, and they go well with each other.
Outfit two I thought of some fall colors that we could incorporate in this outfit. The blue shirt really has a hint of orange in it, so I paired it with a orange skirt. I really like this bright orange because it's so joyful and cheery. It's very bright, since I dislike dark oranges. For the shoes, I chose these because I thought that the silver toe really added a nice touch.
Outfit three This outfit is really cozy, and I really like the idea of a sweater dress. Sweater dresses are a unique combination, so that you can stay warm and stylish. The color is very appropriate for fall so I combined that with black booties. I really like these black booties because they have the color in the sweater dress incorporated it in it, too.
Outfit Four this outfit also really brings out fall. I really like this orange because it's more of a coral one. For the skirt, I chose a red one, since red is one of my favorite colors. It has a black belt, so it looks more chic. Red really looks good during this season, so I added a pair of red booties. They have studs on them, so they give it an edgier look.
Outfit Five This outfit is more about how to combine patterned objects and solid ones to have a balanced effect. You don't want to wear a very patterned outfit because people will look at you like a jigsaw puzzle. You have to have a balance, so that's why I chose this outfit. A nice patterned dress cannot be paired with just anything. Personally, I really like these classic high heeled shoes. They are a classic, so they are always in and they go great with most outfits.
Outfit Six This outfit really combined a lot of what most girls like. For the sweater, the color is very appropriate for this season, and it looks very comfortable. I paired it with a nice skirt, which really goes well with the sweater. The skirt includes some designs, so it looks dazzling. To finish it off, I added a classic high boot. The color really works well with this outfit, and the boots are in right now.

I hope you enjoyed this post! Have a fantastic Thanksgiving and please comment below and follow.
