Soo, I didn't think this was going to work

..But apparently it did. Haha, I didn't think it would work because it wasn't the same type of shirt I saw in the tutorial. Therefore, I didn't take any pictures of the process {sorry!} but I took a before picture, so that's good!

This shirt just fit weird. It always had, I think I got it at JC Penny when I was in, like, 8th grade just for a long sleeved shirt; but the sleeves were too short {Kinda pointless..} So, I decided to try it out to see if I could actually get some use out of it, & I love it! So cute!

Summer Lovin'

"Summer lovin' had me a blaaassstt, summer lovin' happened so faassstt"


Just some of my favorite things for summer. My "summer lovins", you might say ;)

Thrift Store Haul

So, I have been going to a lot of thrift stores lately & I've been finding some really awesome stuff, in my opinion! I bought all of this at either Deseret Industries Thrift Store in Cedar City, UT or St. George, UT, or at Sniffany's in Pahrump, NV. I wanted to show you some of the cool things I got & let you know how much I bought them for. 

                      Black, long sleeved blazer                                           White & gray cardigan
                      DI - $5                                                                         DI - $4

                       Mid-length brown striped tank dress                           Blue knee length dress
                       Sniffany's - $5                                                              Sniffany's - $13

                      Denim blue slouchy blazer                                                 White flowy blazer
                      Sniffany's - $6                                                                     Sniffany's - $4

                      Pleather leggings                                                                Polka dot maxi skirt

                      Sniffany's - $5                                                                    Sniffany's - $7

All but tan belt, second from left from DI for $2

Tan belt from Sniffany's for $1

Suede booties

Sniffany's - $3

Leather boots

DI - $8

Nude wedges

Sniffany's - $6

Snake skin point toe heels

Sniffany's - $4

Strappy black heels

DI - $6

So in the past couple months at thrift stores I have spent a whopping $110, which is the amount I would probably spend on like 2 or 3 of these products retail.. So, I think I got some pretty awesome deals! If you are "too proud" for thrift stores, I would reconsider, because you can really find some awesome stuff that is sometimes brand new, never used or hardly used for less than half the price. Just something to think about :)

Color trends I've been loving

This summer has been full of awesome colors that are really making a statement & I have a hunch that they just might roll over into the fall & winter seasons. These are some colors I am going to try to get more of into my wardrobe:

Well, there ya have it! Happy Friday! 

Summer Suits pt. 2

Anthropologie//
So, anybody that has ever shopped at Anthropologie can probably agree that it's a bit more pricey compared to other places you can get swim suits, but they have such beautiful & unique styles that I really just love. All of their suits remind me of the 50s, & I think they're really cute. The high wasted bikini is a trend I can see blossoming a lot lately. I feel like it's a style that either really skinny girls or more curvy girls can pull off pretty well. I am neither one of those body frames & I have no idea if I could ever pull it off, but who knows? I'll have to try one on sometime & letchya know. :)

Floral, high-wasted bikini - $68 top, $58 bottoms

Floral one piece - $375

I normally don't really like this kind of stuff, but I thought this one was SO pretty. :)

NastyGal//

I don't have much experience at Nastygal.com. I just recently discovered it, but so far I am lovinggg it! They have some really awesome, sexy & trendy suits available. Here are my favorites:

Crocket mono-kini - $138

I am totally obsessed with this one. I seriously think it is so pretty & perrrrfecctttt :)

Florella one-piece swim suit - $275

"Wild Things" bikini - $88

So, that's my post(s) about swim suits! I had a lot of fun searching the websites to find my favorite trends. I hope you all are having fun splashin' around this summer!

Summer Suits

So, before I say or do anything I want to very sincerely apologize for the serious neglect that this blog has experienced this past month. It's not even that I was too busy, I just didn't have a whole lot to say & I was stressed beyond belief. A super quick & non explanatory bit of information about life for me though: I am back living in Nevada with my parents. {Don't be worried or anything, I've figured some stuff out & this is the best decision for me right now} I am going to try to not let this whole lame "not blogging" thing ever happen again. Haha, so anyway, on to the real post! 

Summer Suits!
So, summer is officially here with its heat, fruity drinks, but most of all: swimming!
I've been doing a bit of swimming lately {I would be doing more, but we don't have a pool anymore :( }, so I wanted to share some super cute swim suits, where to get them, how much they are, etc. These are some of my favorite trends of swim suits of the season!

WalMart//
Living in a small town like Pahrump, there is hardly anywhere to shop for swim suits, the biggest store we have here is WalMart, but I'm sure many will agree with me when I say that WalMart has developed a very cute array of clothing & now swim suits! I found some of my favorites this year at WalMart! Here are a few:

Ruffled top mono-kini - $20

I think this one might be my favorite, {that's why it's first!} it's bright yellow is perfect for summer {& will make you look tanner!} & I love the ruffles, mono-kinis are such a unique trend that I am absolutely loving!

Simple bikini - $6 each piece 

{I absolutely love this color! It's called "grape jelly"!}

Sequin, striped bikini - $8 each piece

{You can't really see in the picture, but there are sequins on the orange stripes, SO cute!}

Mini leopard print tankini top - $15

{You could wear this with just some simple black bottoms & it would look adorable on anyone with any body shape!}

I love these suits from WalMart because they're so affordable without sacrificing style and quality. I actually just bought a tankini from WalMart for $12, I couldn't find a picture of it online {I might take & post a picture later} but I found the bottoms that go with it {I didn't get them, I just wear solid black bikini bottoms with it}, so it looks a lot like this:

It's a one shoulder strap like the leopard one only it seems to swoop across the body, it's really cute & comfortable & I got it for so cheap! WalMart should definitely not  be crossed off your list when shopping for a swim suit.

Delias.com//

I have gotten the magazine randomly sent to me for years, they have super cute stuff & I just recently viewed their swimwear for the first time & I'm obsessed! Their styles are so simple but so adorable! I was given an old swim suit from a friend & I saw that it was from Delia's & it is SO comfortable & really pretty. Here are some of my favorites from the website:

Polka dot, side-cinched tankini - $24.50 each piece

& it comes as a bikini, as most of their prints do! 

Black & coral tribal twisted bandeau bikini - $24.50 each piece

Totally obsessed with this print & these colors. It's simple because of the black & white but the tribal print & just a hint of coral makes it pop! :)

This post is becoming longer than I thought, so I will do a part 2 either later today, or tomorrow. See ya!

Just a little style post...

So, I am still in the midst of moving AND I am sick...again, so it has been a super crazy weekend. But I feel bad for abandoning my blog for so long, so here's a little style post that I hope you enjoy. & for those who only come on here when I post it on facebook, I haven't had my facebook for almost a month, so go in the history & check out what posts you've missed! :)

In Cedar City, the weather is ridiculously bipolar, so you need pieces that you can easily make into an outfit for colder weather --- even in the summer. So, I thought I would make one outfit that would be perfect for a Cedar City summer day/night by adding just a couple extra pieces.

Depending on how cold it is should decide if you add the boots or not, because those LC heels would be dang cute with those skinny jeans. Juss' sayin' ;)

Ideas

So, I'm sitting in the car on my way to San Diego just bouncing around ideas of how I might pair some of my clothes from the previous post for this weekend. Hmmm...
