Out for the Day



Here's something that YES women of all ages could wear!
Its very hip and cool, but the "idea" of it could go for all ages. Take the idea of the top with the pants, and add a long cardi with it if you're not into showing your arms as much, but the basic idea of the easy flowing shirt with some fun pants can go at all ages!
I am the FIRST person to say that certain styles should stay at certain ages, but you can take a general idea, like the one above, and take ideas from it, and make it your own.
I'm not putting these up to have you go out and buy EVERY single piece that is right there, but to give you some inspiration on color, style, and putting things together in a way you might not have thought of before.
Keep an open mind, and keep yourself fabulous, at ANY age or body type!

My go to Summer Outfit!



So here's my new way of giving you gals outfit ideas!
I put together what I love, and when you click on this "look" it takes you to where you can see exactly how much everything costs, and where you can buy it!!
Too fun right?

My first outfit is what I would live in all summer if I could, love the easy going, casual look that summer really should feel like.

Enjoy!

Personal Shopper!


OK, I have to share a website that i LOVE!

Covet.com

Its a personal shopper online!
You go online, click through various styles (pics) of outfits, clicking on the ones you like the best, then they categorize your "style".
Then they ask you your sizes, what colors/fabrics you like and don't like, then you move on to clicking on what brands you like or don't like. Then, (this is my favorite part!) you put the most you're willing to spend on an item of clothing (ie: shoes, tops, bottoms, etc..)
Then they will email you with updates on sales of the style you like, in your sizes, and @ the prices you put in!!
How FABULOUS is that!??
I've seen a lot of websites that will email you brands in your size that you might like, but never seen where you can put the prices that you're willing to spend on them!!

Check it out, its fabulous!

Color Block

I love this seasons trend of color block dresses!
I've found some I love on Anthropologie's website that are fabulous.. but pricey :(
Here's one that is adorable, but in the upper $100's and more!



Here's some dresses that I found that are fabulous and let you sleep at night w/o feeling that buyers remorse that we've all had to work through at one point in our life :)


This one is $19.50 @ Wet Seal! Totally cute with some sandals or add some heels and a scarf to dress it up!


Love this one!!$25.50 (also @ Wet Seal)




This one from Forever21 is only $22.80!!



So there you go ladies, just remember if you see something you LOVE, and you know you can't buy it, or will have to sell your first born to make it work, remember that there's always designers/stores working to make things that match up to those high dollar designs!

Decals

So I'm sure many of you have been introduced to Decals, if not recently, maybe decades ago.. well they've made their comeback, and they are fabulous as ever!
I love these little critters b/c its an easy way to add a piece of art in your home, or change up the look entirely for not much AT ALL!
You can find tons of these on sites like Etsy, Ebay, or little boutique stores.
You just literally just peel and stick them up on your wall to your likeness, and they are easily removed when you get sick of them, or wanna change up your room.


I have a bunch of these for my house to put up after our renovation is finished.. which I will be posting before/after pics for you!

Just look at this adorableness!

My new Art!

So, enough about clothes for right now, im showing you what im cooking up in my house!

Got these new fabulous pieces for my pad, and loving them!!
You have to know where to look and what you want.. i wanted a sign to replace a god awful one i had framed, and just replaced the print, saved the picture frame.. (much cheaper!)
Do you ever have those things in your house, that you're just so used to, that you don't think to sell and get something to replace it, then all of a sudden one day you go WHAT WAS I ON when I bought that??? :)
So I found this one that i LOVE.. "Keep Calm and Carry On"...The original was issued by King George VI to uplift the spirits of the British during the war...
Love the font, and the simplicity of it.
Bought the poster, replaced the one I hated, and
VOILA!

The other is an original on canvas from an artist I love.. Got this piece for $25 on Ebay.. an original on canvas..which is ridiculously cheap for an ORIGINAL.. and its pretty fabulous.. LOVE the colors, I'm obsessed with the color palette!!
That's all for now, i'll let you know about some Decals I got for the house too.. later on that :)
