Summer Beach Day Casual

This is an old photo from Forever 21's #21DaysofLA Instagram Challenge back in June. The theme was tie dye and I wanted to create a very cool laid back kind of outfit.

Summer Chill

I used this photo in the Forever 21 #21DaysofLA Instagram Challenge back in June. The challenge for that day was for swimwear. Fringe swimwear was a huge trend this past summer and I really loved the design and pattern on the top. The bottoms highlight the turquoise in the top and it has a cute ruffle. Lace tops were also another big trend and would look really cute over the swim suit. The shorts give off a cool lived-in vibe and Vans are a sensible alternative for flip flops or sandals because they're much easier to run around in and you can still just slip them on.And accessories of course! A hat and shades not only protect you from the sun, you also look awesome while wearing them. The necklace and belt both look similar and give off a relaxed, beachy vibe. Friendship bracelets and beaded bracelets complete the look and give it a summer attitude.

Sweaters and Skirts

I absolutely love pairing sweaters and skirts together. I especially love this combination because with this skirt, I usually pair it with plain black tops (there's a thin black trim on the edge of it). However, this sweater accents the small blue details in the skirt and gives a pop of color on top.

Sweater: Aeropostale
Skirt: Charlotte Russe
Tights: Marshall's
Combat boots: Underground Journey's

Floral Spectrum

This picture was taken back in June for the Forever 21 #21DaysofLA Instagram Challenge. It's so difficult to get pictures taken like this because my family is so busy, but occasionally they have a minute to help me out haha. Anyway, I love the colors on this skirt, but it's also so difficult to pair shirts with it because of the colors. Then I saw this shirt in my closet and I saw that they actually went so well together!

Floral Printed Jeans

These are all old photos, but I wanted to show how versatile this one pair of floral jeans from Forever 21 are. These jeans can be dressed up or down and depending on what you pair it with they can be edgy or preppy.

Corduroy, Studs, and Everything Nice

I haven't made one of these outfit posts in a while so here's another! Corduroy seems to be making a comeback, I've been seeing it all over and I thought this pair of corduroy pants from Lulu's ($66) give off such a cool laid back vibe. The same thing can be said for this hoodie from Brandy Melville USA ($33). By looking at this blog, you can probably tell I love everything studded and these combat boots from Free People ($468) are obviously no exception. This adorable floral clutch from Forever 21 ($21.80) adds the perfect pop of color and a girly finishing touch.

I just got this awesome Free People dress from Lord and Taylor yesterday! I'm kind of in love with it.

This is picture shows the color much better than in mine. On the Free People website this dress is $128 however I got it on sale at Lord and Taylor for a little less than $50 because it was on sale and coupons are great haha.

I'll try and post again this weekend, but until then bye for now. :)

Out in the Woods

School has just started back up again and I got back from vacation a week before it started so I've been busy lately.

This was back in May or June (I don't really remember) in the woods near my house. There's this tree back there that has steps nailed into it so you can climb up it and this tire swing attached although it's breaking, it's pretty nice.

sweater: Target
tank: H&M
belt: Charlotte Russe
skirt: PacSun
shoes: Pastry from Underground Station by Journey's

Making a statement is easy with tribal print and exaggerated sleeves! I love this dress because of its fun pattern and contrasting colors. I wore this to co-host our school talent/variety show back in June.

Seasons Changing

At the time, winter was changing into spring and temperatures would be a little breezy, but could be nice. That's why I wore this sweater with these shorts, it matches pretty well too. :)

Instagram pictures!

I decided that I needed more pictures of myself on here so I decided to try and connect my Instagram to this blog, but I couldn't so I'll be uploading them whenever I get a chance. Some of these pictures are from a couple of months ago, but I like the oufits so yeah. :)

shirt: Macy's
shorts: also Macy's
shoes: Vans from Journey's
necklace: don't remember

That necklace is actually much shorter than it appears in the picture, so to make it longer I attached a bracelet.

Blue and Beyond

Stars are obviously an upcoming trend and the high low skirt is a trend right now and this skirt from Lulu's ($44) incorporates both of those. For a nice pop of color, I chose this blue tank from Brandy Melville USA ($21). To give it a kick, I paired them with these boots from Nasty Gal ($298) and knee high socks from Free People ($20) which have specks of several colors. Since the skirt has a starry print, it seemed right to accessorize with a star necklace from Tilly's ($6.99). Finally, the outfit is topped off with this stack of bangles from Tilly's ($12.99) for a little arm candy.

Run Down and Rugged

This pullover from Forever21 ($19.80) is girly, but has a perfect rough or edgy-ness to it. I paired it with these shorts from Urban OG ($17.70) because they provide an unexpected pop of royal blue. The sweatshirt is perfect with this fringe purse from Brandy Melville USA ($30), they both have a laid back vibe to them. There's a gorgeous light blue on the shirt and these Lita platform boots from Nasty Gal ($113.40) are the exact same color and dress up this casual ensemble.

Simply Sweet

Normally, I'm not a fan of dresses with v-necks, but this embroidered blue dress from Forever21 ($24.80) definitely caught my eye. There's something so unique about the mixed thread hair wraps from Free People ($14) that makes a braid look just that much cooler. In fact, I'll probably attempt to make my own sometime with some pieces of fabric and string for friendship bracelets haha. I decided to make the dress and hair wrap the center of attention, the purse and heels should be neutral. So to complete the outfit, I chose this cute bag from Urban OG ($47.30) and espadrille wedge sandals from Lulu's ($39).

Lovely Rocker

This outfit which I've named Lovely Rocker features this cute, lived in looking tank from Brandy Melville USA ($14). Over it is this awesome electric emerald jacket from Forever 21 ($18.90). No rocker look is complete without some ripped jeans, so I paired it with these acid wash jeans from UrbanOG ($29.30). To finish the outfit are these spiked heels from Lulu's ($46) which I'm absolutely in love with.
