Oh So Trendy

I've totally been swept up in the one shoulder craze! I love one shoulder dresses and tops. I think this trend is a fun way to update your wardrobe.


Right: Forever 21

A word of advice: If you've never worn a one shoulder top or dress before coordinating your bra can be tricky (esp. if you're chesty). A bra with convertible straps is your best friend in this situation. Lay out the bra with both straps in the traditional position. Leave the strap that lays under the sleeved side of your top in it's normal position. Unhook the back hook of the other strap and double it up with the first strap. At first, it may seem impossible to fit both hooks in one loop, but trust me it'll work. You'll get A LOT of support this way. I also use a generous supply of clothing tape to make sure my straps don't show.

Summertime!

I love wearing tank tops in the summer. I live in the southeast, and it's so hot and humid down here that sleeves are just not an option! Here are some tank tops that I've got my eye on...


This sweet little tank from Anthropologie is great for a day out shopping or lunch with the girls!


I love this tank from Urban Outfitters for a night out. It's comfortable to dance in, but also edgy for bar hopping.


This top is a great day to night transition piece. I can always count on ModCloth for sweet yet grown up clothes.

New Favorite Colors

Lately I've found myself particularly drawn to anything turquoise or coral. They're so bright and fun! I feel so summery when I wear them. Here are some things in turquoise and coral that have caught my eye...


Love love looove this Calvin Klein Collection dress from the Outnet!


I generally prefer simple jewelry, and this Swarovski bracelet would fit in nicely with my stack.


I think these coral pumps from Lulu's would go great with a simple dress or jeans.


Anthro...need I say more??

Shop Till You Drop!

Lulus.com is one of my favorite sites to shop online. Lulu's has a modern yet feminine style which I love. The prices are also pretty reasonable for the good quality products they sell. I wish Lulu's the stylists could be my personal shoppers!





Happy shopping!

Things I'm Loving!

It's been awhile since I've done a real post, but now that summer has started I have ample free time. Here are some things that I'm loving right now...

Feather hair extensions!
These are the feathers I currently have in my hair. I love them! I just ordered some more, so I can change them whenever I want.

Make your own fabric flowers.
I've been obsessed with making these cute little flowers from Simply Vintagegirl. I've probably made 15 already (they take awhile to make).

Anything nautical!
Seriously, it's a problem.

Harry Potter.
I know I'm a nerd, but I love Harry Potter. I can't wait for The Deathly Hallows Part 2 to come out!
