Neon Love...

It's all about the brights, baby!!! 

This season neons are so in style, it's crazy! And my being the shopaholic I am, couldn't help but invest in at least one pair of neon shorts! I won't lie, I had to Google and Youtube some ideas one how exactly to style the shorts. And I am now quite pleased with the result! 

So on my sister's break from work I forced her to take some fun photos of me for my outfit of the day post! The bright colors just make me happy! So I thought, it deserves a special photo session! :)

I love this whole outfit!!! So bright and happy! :)

Shorts: Gordman's
Top, Purse, Fedora: Target
Shoes: Converse

I'm so obsessed with this hat! Boyfriend calls it my Jason Mraz hat. haha

I love these bracelets! They're so fun! My earrings also have handcuffs in them. :) 

Lyrics are from I Am by Hilary Duff! Love it! 

What trends are you loving this summer?

Wonderful Weekends...

Always end too soon..

Well this weekend I had little to NO internet access. But it was alright! It was nice to "unplug" for a few days!

So this is what happened, Boyfriend turned 21 on Thursday! :) So I drove four hours away (what I don't do for that kid!) to stay with him and his family for a few days. I would like to take this moment to note that, (1) I have never driven that far on my own before and (2) I am notorious for getting lost! However, I did not get lost once! And I made the drive just fine!

Anyway, where I was staying seems to hate my mobile carrier, so for four days I was basically without my cell phone. Which was quite alright, the main person I text was right beside me 98% of the time! haha

And now a brief recap of my weekend. For my own benefit, as well as, your enjoyment!

  • Thursday- Boyfriend's birthday! I may have gone slightly overboard with his gift.. or gifts. Couldn't help it! haha I also met several of his friends! 
  • Friday- We hung around the house a majority of the day. It was so beautiful out, it was nice to just relax, enjoy the weather and each other. <3
  • Saturday- A quick trip to Barnes and Noble and in the evening we went over to one of his friends' house for a summer neighborhood get together! 
  • Sunday- Spent the morning lounging and then left around noon.
So there you have it! My wonderful weekend! Spent with my amazing boyfriend and his equally amazing family! I really don't know how I got so lucky... :)

One of the dogs! He's such a cutie! His name is Karl! 

Mr. Explorer. :)

Beautiful covered bridge he showed me...

Isn't the scenery amazing? <3 

So how was your weekend???

Summer Haul...

Lovely Lips!

So this summer, along with getting a nice healthy tan, I have been obsessed with- you guessed it!- my lips! During the winter, moisturizing is a MUST, but it's important to not forget about it during the summer either! If there's something I can't stand, it's the feeling of chapped lips! It just bothers me so badly! 

Of course, I don't stick to chapstick alone. I love color! Thus, I have been picking up a few colors... here and there... :) [and a few other products to, of course! haha!]

Tribal print clutch and glade candle!

 
Just a few lip products! ;)



One of my favorites! Latino from Rimmel London. Fits no? :)

This is the perfect red! Love it! Are You Red-Dy from Cover Girl.

Picked up three lip liners from L.A. Colors (on sale for $ .25!)


Maybe I went a little overboard??? haha Never... :)

What are your favorite lip colors for the summer?

Floral Pastels...

with a pop!

Happy Memorial Day, everyone! Finally finding time to post again! Summer is supposed to be relaxing, however, I've been so busy as of late! For one, I refused to post again until I finished my gift for boyfriend's birthday. In case anyone is curious, my sister and I collab-ed on an art piece for his birthday, which is Thursday, and I must take it to the printer by tomorrow. Thus, no posting until it was finished. 

And it is finished! :)

Anyways, Sunday, and these passed few days, have been delightful! Humid a bit... But delightful nonetheless! So Sunday I deemed lovely enough for a dress! Since I've been living between my parents home and my apartment, I do not have all my clothes and shoes in one location so I had the dress I wanted to wear then suddenly realized I did not have the shoes! So I simply paired the dress with a bright yellow pair of peep-toed heels for a pop of color! 

My puppy dog photo-bombed the picture!! :)

Love the double bow detail! <3

Open back is super cute, no? :)

Dress: Given to me by my bestie!
Shoes: I wanna say they are from Cato
Necklace: Gotten in Guatemala

Remember to give thanks for those who gave so much! :)

You Know You're A 90's Kid If....

You remember these "new" trends from back in the day.


So recently I have been noticing that a lot of 90's trends are making a comeback. Don't believe me? Check out this article!

Anyway, it really hit me when I saw these next few dresses. Not only did my older cousin Eileen rock similar dresses when she was in high school, she might still have them stuffed away somewhere! The 90s are back, ladies! And that's okay, cause they were ALLLLLLLL THAT!!!! ;)

Note: These dresses are either from Top Shop or Zara.


Okay, I feel I've seen just about every mom I know wearing this. (Granted it was when they were in their late 20s and early 30s.) But as a child, I was surrounded by some very fashion forward ladies and they definitely had this style of jumper!



Can you not see Jen from Dawson's Creek wearing this?



Now what do you think Topanga would say if she saw this dress today? "I like that. ... I had that." Maybe?



I'm thinking some thrifting is in my near future! But, remember, don't just go pulling out every old 90's piece you have left! Here's a quick list of 90s trends that should NOT be resurrected! Let's be practical now. :)

Will you be rocking any 90s bring-backs this season?
