Couple Trend Updates:)

Currently updating from out of country @ the beautiful Caribbean island Grenada :)

How is everyone's day going? I know I haven't been posting lately but with work and school, and now on this much deserved vacation I've been a little busy. But I am here now!

Now on to the good stuff!
As always I'm checking up on the new trends and outfits; all things affordable and stylish. I love clothes and putting together outfits, but what is even more rewarding is helping someone look and feel better than they did when they first saw me, read my blog, or even came into where I work. That is the best feeling to inform someone on what I love and get them to see how I know they could look. Clothes can set the tone for my day, and I've been into fashion ever since I can remember and the excitement still hasn't ceased. Here are some outfits I found and it was love at first sight!

Lemme just tell y'all about how long skirts have been killing it this season. Forrealllll, I could go on and on with the possibilities of this look. Because long skirts are not only extremely versatile, they are also comfortable and fit all shapes. If you are like me and all women, you won't spend money on a trend unless it gets you enough wears. Let me tell you, it is possible to mix and match for days with a long skirt. Kudos to this trend, it really goes a long way.

I'm not sure if any one else has been seeing these shorts online… but I sure have; everywhere! I do know thought that Lauren Conrad is the designer of the pineapple shorts:) But I have yet to see these cute little pom pom shorts in stores. What I can say is that I can 100% guarantee they are in boutiques. I think the buy would be worth it because I love shorts like these. It my be too racy to say, but yolo, I am not a fan of jean shorts. They are uncomfortable and it's easy for some one like me to grow out of them. The loose shorts are always a much better fit and cool for when it's hot. I'd rather be cute and comfy than have to peel off my shorts because of the lack of elasticity. There are also a couple DIY videos on that wonderful source named the YouTube:) Link here, my lovelies!

Rompers are starting to get so classy. They're not like those old school cheap looking jumpsuits anymore. They definitely have come a long way. As a fair warning I will say that short rompers ride up ALOT if you have big thighs like myself. Always get a size up or pants:)

Now aside from the fact that I envy Nazinin and all her beauty, this first look she is sporting is so street and beautiful! This trend isn't used to often but I think it should, it's very cute and covers your bum if you aren't too comfortable in booty shorts:)

I am so wishy washy. I particularly hate lace. But these lace tops have been catching my eye for a while! They are so elegant and light I just love 'em!

Well, that'll be all for now my lovelies. You're all beautiful and I hope to God you'll come back or tell a friend about my blog! If I gave you some ideas or have any comments, questions or suggestions drop a comment below or just show some love :)

Fashion Do or Fashion Don't?

Hello everyone! So I was flipping through some old magazines the other day, and came across a couple "trends" that never caught on! Some pretty absorb trends get promoted sometimes. I don't know how those fashion sketches got approved! Tell me what you guys think about these unique trends I've seen for this upcoming season.

How about wearing 2 patterns? Hot or not? I think the first look is cute. But difficult for some to put together. I think a lot of people will try this trend with polka dots and zebra print. So I fear for this trends success a little bit! For example, this second look is no go. This is where I see this trend going horribly wrong!

No, no, no, no. I know the high low style is in. I know the print isn't helping too much, but I think this is look is a no go and I have nothing else to say! #speechless

Knee length skirts/dresses? This is a negative for me. My opinion is that the length is too awk. And the shape is not too flattering for all figures. It looks so librarian to me, this one is a no go in my book!

Hope you all have a lovely day!

Heyyy you guys! Guess what new trend I found and love love love!

Patterned shorts have been showing up in a lot of stores this season. It's not too complicated of a trend, everyone wears shorts! But what makes this trend so cute is how simple and easy it is to wear! This look is going to go great this summer and I've already seen some really cute outfits that I just have to get my hands on!!

This elephant pattern on these shorts are so chic and cute! Very easy to style, could be worn with any color blouse! I saw these in a small boutique in my neighborhood but they were a little pricey! Although I don't doubt that soon they will be sold in cheaper stores considering how fast this trend is catching on.

These chevron and tribal print shorts are my favvvv. Let me tell you how much I love tribal print. So the fact that this print is still in and going strong makes me one happy girl! I'm glad to know it is still in :)

These are the only pair of shorts I've seen with this cut. It may be difficult to pull off for some body types, but the splash of neon color just send this outfit over the edge! Crop tops are in this season so these shorts would be a great look to pair it with.

I'm not a big fan of lace, but these shorts I've been seeing I love so much! They're simplicity are so cute and easy to wear.

Hope you like and keep up to date with my posts:) It's been a while since I've posted on here but finals are so time consuming. Hope everyone is ready for sumer I know I am ;)

Sheinside Sweatshirt Review

Hey everyone!

So I ordered this sweatshirt a while ago offline. I personally enjoy shopping online, but I know it can be a bit scary or frustrating because you haven't tried it on! Does it fit? Will it look as good in the picture as it does when it comes in the mail? Is the website even reliable?

Well from my experience with http://www.sheinside.com, they take a long time to deliver, and everything is one size fits all (what the heck?!). I actually emailed the company about my purchase because it took so long, I was mortified and positive that the site was a scam. The reason it takes so long to deliver is because it is shipped from another country. The site is reliable as far as I'm concerned, it just takes a couple weeks. But I can also say that the sweatshirts I got from offline fit perfectly, and the one that I'm reviewing today is literally the most comfortable sweatshirt I have EVER worn.
But enough talking right? Here's the review I'm doing on one of the sweatshirts that I adore.

The first picture has a filter on it, but please believe me when I tell you that the picture on this sweater is literally soooo clear. They're are even flecks of purple in the eyes, it is such a high quality print it amazes me. I'm seriously not exaggerating. I have washed it plenty of times and the dye on it doesn't wear off. The quality photo remains the same. 5 star for real on the picture! This sweatshirt is my favorite because the inside of it is incredibly soft. I can not express to you how soft it is. And again, I have washed it and the soft white fur on the inside doesn't matt up or shed. Really soft.

But the worst thing about this sweatshirt, is that after time the black material gets cotton balls. Mainly on the heavy traffic areas. And by that I mean the back of it, and the arms. It's black, so it doesn't look dingy or ratchet, it's just the fabric it's made with isn't so high quality. There aren't any cotton balls on the front where the lion is, but elsewhere, cotton balls may appear.

That is the only negative I found in the sweatshirt, when I bought it was $32. Judging by the quality of the fabric, by no means it should have been that much. Now the price is $25, I'm sure it will go down again, for what it is worth, I would recommend this sweatshirt.

OOTD

Good day everyone? I hope so! Today I'll post my outfit of the day. I went out to dinner and thought it would be nice to get a lil' dressy casual.

    The weather has been super crazy in Texas, as I'm sure it has been along all of the US. It doesn't feel much like spring, so I've been sticking to the fall apparel. The dress I'm wearing I think could pass for spring and summer as well, considering I bought it after fall. I think it's just not exactly the stereotypical spring floral trend. But who wants to be stereotypical anyway?!

Anyway… here is the look:

 

Both the dress and the jacket are from Wet Seal. Currently (as of March 25 to todays date, April 8) all dresses and shorts are buy one, get one for 10 dollars. The jacket however wasn't on style, but I thought it made a perfect outfit with the dress. The shopoholic in me couldn't put it back, so regardless of the 20+ dollar price tag I still decided on getting it. The boots I'm not sure where I got them from, but brown alpine boots can be found anywhere, mine particularly are lace up, but is common as well :) I hope you enjoyed the little snippet of my parents' dirty closet, how classy.

 

The look without the jacket works fine as well. It was just a little chilly that night so I decided on wearing the jacket due to the triangle cut out on the back. Unfortunately my pictures didn't transfer so clearly, but there are groups of sunflowers across the dress as a print. The down side to do this dress if you were to order it online, is to know that they do run small, in length especially. I'm 5'9 and, like most dresses, they aren't made for tall people. So it is a little short even though it is a large.

I hope I have given you some inspiration for an outfit or convinced you about this dress I picked up on sale :)
