Summertime Essentials

As the summer is coming to an end and I took my last summer trip I thought that I would share with you my must haves in my summer suitcase. We all have those few things that we can't live without and if we leave them behind its either an immediate trip to the store or it seems like the trip it totally ruined! This summer I added a few new products to my list and keep the must have classics! First lets start out with the definition of summer essentials, SUNGLASSES!! This awesome website SaltCityOptics.com has every pair of sunglasses you can think of from the plain Jane sunglasses to the best quality prescription sunglasses that are not only the best for your beautiful eyes but also are super stylish! I've come together with them and if you use the referral code 'SUNNY20'  you'll get 20% off all prescription sunglasses! So go check them out, like right now!! What’s a summer without documenting it? That's why I always bring my Polaroid with me everywhere! Pair of high waisted shorts with a tank or a T-Shirt dress is my all time favorite looks for summer so you will always catch me with them both! This last summer trip I went on was to a resort with the most amazing poolside area I have ever seen and I wanted to stay outside all day so I made sure I would be protected by the super sun we have here in AZ. Neutrogena cosmetics is my go to summer makeup because they all have sunscreen in them but are super light weight and doesn’t make your face feel oily. 

So if you are like me and can barely rarely get a tan then this tanning lotion is for you! Banana Boat summer color self-tanning lotion is literally the best tanning lotion I have found and trust me I have tried them all! I get the Deep Dark Color for a faster darker tan, there is lighter shades that you can get but the Deep Dark is not that dark and if you want it darker keep layering! For all the blondies out there or the ones with damaged hair these hair products will change your life! John Amico Casablanca oil is perfect for putting a dime size in your hair when you get right out of the pool so it doesn’t feel dry and doesn’t get all tangled. It is a professional product so talk to your stylist about it and see if they sell it at the

salon. Also use a Wet Brush it's incredible for getting tangles out. Something you can all get at a Target near you is the It's a 10 Miracle Hair Mask, it is just like the oil and you can leave it in for 15-30 minutes for a deep conditioning treatment then just rinse it out with warm water and your pool hair will be gone! Redken Blonde Idol is great for lighting your hair this summer without bleaching it! We all have our on signature scent and I don’t know about you but mine changes with the seasons, so for the summer I do a combination of Victoria's Secret Pink Fresh and Clean body mist and Victoria's Secret Bombshell together they smell FABULOUS! Last but definitely not least us ladies have to have our lip-gloss because it's popping! My popping lip-gloss comes from MAC and it the dazzleglass line, my favorite shade is Bare Necessity and they run for twelve dollars a tube but it last forever! And of course you have to have your favorite EOS with
you because you just have to. So now you know all the things I cant live without and I'd love to hear some of the things you can't! 

SUMMER

So much for my New Years resolution I have been terrible at actually posting stuff on the blog since I have mostly just been doing Instagram. So summer is finally here and it's honestly my favorite season because it means the pool, beach, relaxing and most of all no school! My favorite summer outfit so far is this black and white one! A nice classy black and white outfit is 100 times better than and colored outfit! Black and white is so fun because you can do so much with it and if you really wanted a pop of color you can add it to your shoes a belt, jewelry, and everything else! Black and white is just classy and elegant simple as that. Also you don't see much black and white in the summertime with all the fun colors but it's the perfect time to break out that little black dress and add a floppy hat! If you haven't noticed I'm obsessed with my black floppy hat and it is by far my favorite thing I have ever purchased! They can go with pretty much everything!! And bonus it keeps your face out of the sun! A other thing I love about summer is all the cool crazy sunglasses that come out! There is so many funky designs I WANT THEM ALL!! So go get a new pair of shades because they are awesome! Summer is a time to change your outfit 5 times a day for all the fun things you get to do so make each outfit better than the other one!

Pura Vida Bracelets

Ok so I came across this amazing website called Pura Vida Bracelets I'm sure if you have facebook you have seen the adds because now they are starting to get pretty big. They have a really cool story on how they got started and about what they do. They sell these bracelets they are simple bracelets but they are really awesome you can pick different bracelets to purchase to help a charity. The best part is the bracelets are only 5 dollars! For every bracelet you purchase i believe a dollar goes to that charity the bracelet is named after. All the bracelets on there don't help out Charity's they have really cool designs and other types of bracelets on the website too, but why not get one that helps someone else out. I got the save the dolphin one which is the blue one here and i also got the pink one for a dear friend that just got diagnosed with breast cancer. These bracelets are awesome and its for a great cause so go check them out!! It prefect for ankle braclets and great for any summer outfit accessory! If you make a account with them you also get 10 or 20 percent of so if you only get one bracelet its only 4 bucks and the shipping is free! You honestly need to go get one!!

Bohemian Inspiration

     So much for my new years resolution to post on my blog all the time because that hasn't worked out! I promise I'm trying to be better. I have been getting a lot of people requesting outfits and styles to blog about and this has been one I have gotten a lot! This style for the week is in honor of one of my best friends Zoey Tow she is beautiful and I honestly should have had her as the model! Bohemian Fashion has honestly sky rocketed in the past year and I think one of the main reasons is because of how awesome Vanessa Hudgens is and how she made the bohemian style blow up! Kimonos and chained headbands are really taking off and are super fun for the summer. So I'm here to show you how to wear them. The first thing to look for when picking out a Kimono is making sure it is not to long for you, if your short like me I cant wear the ones that go all the way to the floor because I would trip every time I walked. The next thing to look for is the color and pattern, this is a big one because you want something that could go with multiple outfits so you could wear it over and over again not just once. The color and pattern are huge because you also don't want something to crazy because then everyone is just gonna be paying attention to that. Patterns are hard because so many times a patterns can be really in trend on day and then in a week it can be totally out of style, so go with something simple and classy not crazy and trashy. High waisted shorts are still in and I'm sure they still will be by the time summer is here again. High waisted shorts are kinda tricking to find the perfect ones because some of them show a little to much of the checks if you know what I mean. We all know that girls that has a little to short of shorts and you defiantly don't want to be her! Make sure when getting high waisted shorts you don't have a gap at the top and its tight around your waist the ones I'm wearing here are a little loose at the top but fit great at the bottom so its hard to find the best of both worlds. I am really into the tight long quarter length cropped top. They fit perfectly and they wont blow up in the wind so you wont accidentally flash someone. Hollister has a great deal on them right now and they are only $12.00 and they have I believe four different colors so for sure check it out! When getting a headpiece defiantly try it on even if you have to go in the dressing room and take it out of it's packaging because there has been to many times I have got one and it doesn't fit. It might just be that my head is big but still try it on! You want something that doesn't have to many things dangling from it because that is just distracting. Here I am just wearing one with nothing on it but I do also like the ones with a stone in the middle. I am also wearing a cuff bracket and its just a plain gold one they have ones with pearls at the end and diamonds at Forever 21. So now lets get down to the details of my outfit. Shorts-Hollister Co.

Crop top-Hollister Co.

Chain Headband-Tilly's

Kimono- Forever 21

Necklace-Tilly’s 

Arm Cuff-Abercrombie and Fitch 

   

HITTING GOLD!

     For christmas this year all I wanted was a tee pee! My amazing dad made me one and I am very thankful he did so I could do this amazing photo shoot with the help of my best friend Melisa Guevara to take the pictures for me! She is very talented and is off away at a Disney Internship right now, I know she is going to do amazing things in life and I'm very glad she made time for me before she left! I also had amazing help from my best friend Kyleigh Hall who did my makeup. A lot of time went into this and I hope you guys love the photos as much as I do! For this photo shoot I incorporated a bunch of different styles in it. I have a Native American feel, Bohemian, vintage, and a little bit of modern. All the props I got at a thrift stores. I gotI the chandelier, vintage books and the suitcase from White Elephant. The red rug, fur coat, and the big blue suitcase from This That and More Thrift Store. If you are looking for old Unique furniture and vintage suitcases and collectables check them out because they had a lot of cool thongs!  The red little stool chair from Blessingdale’s Thrift Store. All the other things I already had laying around. The gold dress I am wearing is from Abercrombie and Fitch that my Aunt Deb got me from the NYC so shoutout to Aunt Deb I LOVE IT!  The head band I am wearing I made from flowers you can buy at any craft store. For this Photo shoot I was most excited about that Fur coat that I got for only $5.00!!! If you have ever gone thrift shopping for fur coats you would know that is an amazing deal!! Also if you are looking for old vintage suitcases go to This That and More because the teal old suitcase I got is heavy duty and I only got it for $3.00!! I plan out days to hit as many Thrift Stores as I can which is really fun especially if you go with a bunch of friends!

New YEAR!! New YOU!!

       Hey everyone sorry about the lack of posting lately its been crazy busy with the holidays and I hope you are all enjoying your break as much as I am! This year I decided that I am actually gonna set a new years resolution and make a list of goals for myself so I have a vision board of what I want to become and where I am wanting to go. Ive tried doing the new years resolution before and of course mine was like everyone else's which is to workout and just like everyone else I was all in to it for like a month then after that I released how much I missed eating whatever I wanted so I gave up, but honestly the working out resolution never works out so I didn't feel that bad about it! This year I made more realistic goals so I'm crossing my fingers I can stick to them. It's a New Year so it's a starting point to figure out who you want to be and figure out the New You! This year try mixing up your style and trying new crazy things! Its time to think about things different, change up your hair and plan many great adventures! Or if you are perfectly content with who you are then thats great too! Your one step a head of everyone else! There is new things to come and I decided I'm going to dedicate myself more to my blog and actually post stuff more often, because I've been slacking! This New Year's I got blessed to have a white New Year's I would have preferred Christmas but hey you get what you get! We also found this frozen pound so we did a little ice skating which was really awesome. I am glad its still the winter season so I can wear sweaters and leggings everyday and for this winter shoot I did just that! In the winter I always dress for being inside but so when I go outside I can just throw on a heavy jacket and still look great and be warm! If you wear to many layers you are just going o feel like you have a hundred pounds of clothes and not be comfortable when your inside. So here I decided to wear my black leggings from Victoria Secret with my high low quarter length shirt from Tilly's. I accessorized with a black scarf from Old Navy but I tied the ends together so it would be an infinity scarf. I also wore high knee socks from Tilly's and black combat boots from Shiekh Shoes. Just an fyi Shiekh Shoes around this time has a buy a boot get a boot for free or a dollar so check that out! For this outfit i choose to have a hunter green Abercrombie and Fitch heavy jacket so when I go  outside I'm still warm! Adding the hunter green also gave it a little bit of color instead of just a black and white outfit and still is settle. For my hair I just threw it up in a messy bun and I wore my glasses just for fun! I hope everyone is Having a great break and I'm excited to share everything that is to come!

Ootd

Today's outfit of the day I decided to go all black because it's finals week and it's been all rainy so I fit in with weather and final week vibe. My shirt is from Tillys and I just got it the day before from my aunt and I'm in love with the pattern on the front! It is also perfect to wear leggings with because it is long in the back. So obviously I'm wearing leggings and they are from Pink. My scarf is just a regular scarf made into a infinity scarf simply by tying the ends together and my head band is from American eagle. The combat boots are from Shiek shoes and if you are even wondering my socks are from old navy not like it matters but they were so comfy! I have my hair in a knot bun kept up by my cream and gold button knot hair ties. I hope everyone is super excited for Christmas because I know I am!
