Aztec Print


Steals & Deals: H&M Blouse, $9.95// Target Tribal Shorts, $17.99//Steven Madden Sandals, $37.00 {on sale}//Ebay Keyhole Sunglasses $10.00//Coach Crossbody {Mom's closet}//Marshall's Necklace, $6.00

I wore this ensemble today, which worked out well considering how incredibly warm it was. I love the Aztec print and vibrant colors from these shorts. Which are honestly one of my favorite pieces this summer--considering they are extremely comfortable and fun! Also, I must note that I repurposed this tee by simply removing the puff sleeves to make it more wearable and current. There are so many pieces that we own that can be altered just the slightest bit to become more desirable. I absolutely love doing this because it allows me bring new life to old, neglected pieces. {And it's a great way to save cash!} So before you go shopping or think you have nothing in your closet, think about what pieces can be changed to become useful!

Also, I am excited to introduce you to my new blog design {that I did myself}! I am so glad that I actually pulled it off and was able to figure out how to code and make my ideas become reality! {Considering I am not a web designer, I feel pretty accomplished!} I really hope you like it, because I sure do.

Hope everyone has been able to enjoy these long summer days and nights! xo

Nautical





Steals & Deals: Thrifted A&F dress, $4.00//Thrifted Blue Sun Hat, $4.00//Thrifted Red Bag, $8.00//Target Turtle Sandals $24.99 {similar}

Pretty stoaked about some of my recent finds. Including this dress & hat for a total cost of $8.00! Really!? Yes. Dresses are my go to pieces this summer so I am glad I could add another to my collection. And this hat I think will become my obsession this summer. I know I am going to get a LOT of use out of it.

As for my "theme" look. If you couldn't tell from my title, this look is nautical themed. Nautical themed looks are perfect for summer considering they are easy to dress up and down. Plus many of the pieces needed for this style include pairing summer essentials {white blazer, white trousers/jeans, blue/white striped tee, red accessories}. So try it out, get on the trend bandwagon and look stylish while being extremely comfortable. xo

Sock Bun



Steals & Deals: J Crew Plaid Flannel {Boys Crew Cuts}, $14.95//K Mart Blue Denim{J Crew Tooth Pick Alternative}, $19.00//Thrifted Banana Republic Sandals, $9.00//Target Cateye Sunglasses, $16.99 {similar}//Piperlime Melie Bianco Bag, $36.99
Chloe + Isabel Jewelry: Retro Glam Chrystal Necklace//Pave Ball Stud Earrings

Okay, so I have a little story about my first time trying to do a sock bun. Let's just say it took me about 5 times to get it to look like this {aka somewhat decent}. Jesus, it was not an easy thing to do, who knew it was that hard. Well it might have been easier for me if I actually took the time to look at the instructions on Pinterest {here}. Yeah, I after trying multiple times I realized that I did it wrong. Of course there is a much easier way to do a sock bun! Well you live and learn. And folks sometimes it is just better to look at instructions. Lesson learned. 

Another thing to note is this super cute plaid flannel from J Crew. Maybe you saw this shirt {Boy shirt in blue vintage camp flannel} during fall/winter in the women's department for $78.00? Well, the same exact shirt was offered in the little boys department in Crew Cuts not only for less, but also on sale {at the time of purchase}. Crew cuts price + sale + employee discount = $14.95 {ish}...SCORE! First of all if you are petite, browse through the boys clothing {size 10-14}. Honestly, they may fit you better than women's. It is so worth it to try because the garment that may be be a similar style to a women's piece will be much less and it may fit better.
