Vintage Beauty

 

No one really knows this, but I sometimes struggle with the image I want to put out, and the way my style is perceived. Sometimes I want to dress one way, sometimes I want to dress another. But I think this outfit is one of my favorites for ME. I feel like myself in this outfit, and that's what I love most about it. The dress I'm wearing is actually a pinafore from TJ Maxx. I think I got it for around 15-20 dollars and it was definitely worth every penny. It's a great dress! You can't really tell, but I put a black sheer, puffy sleeved, Peter Pan collared top from forever 21 under the pinafore. I love the way it looks! I'm also wearing some black and gold loafers from Forever 21 on my feet. Although not the most comfortable pair of shoes money can buy, they're still really cute. I then popped on a cute black bow from the shop bows please. And that's it! Also, this is my natural hair texture. No hot tools used!

New Puppy

 

Meet my family's new puppy, Katie! We got her at a really nice pet shelter near my town, somewhere that I plan to be volunteering at soon. It's a really nice shelter that takes great care of the animals they house. I'm so happy that we were able to take a puppy home!

  I already have two dogs, their names are Sara and Molly. Sara is about 8.5 years old and Molly is about 4 years old. They've been a great pair for a while now, but we've decided that Molly Moo has too much love to give for having just one sister. So we decided to add another pup to our family! We named our new puppy Kate, (it may or may not have been inspired by the Duchess) but soon realized that Katie was better. She's a very hyper and loving girl, she loves to give kisses. She hasn't even been here for 24 hours yet and she already feels right at home. <3

Visit the link to vote for this pet shelter and help them win $10,000 to use for supplies for taking care of the animals at their shelter. It would mean the world! Link: http://bit.ly/1ihxSnk

iWearSin Reaview / Haul

iWearSin

Two new items from iWearSin! :D (one of my favorite shops)

Crochet Flower Shorts

LOVE THESE. Look how cute they are?! These shorts actually have elastic at the bottom as well, so the are a nit tighter around your legs which I thought was quite interesting. The waistband relies on the black ribbon, and that's how you adjust the waist band. These shorts are super great quality!

Sheer Racerback

This top is super cute and I love the racerback aspect of it. I don't like how the ruffle isn't stretchy, though, and it's a bit hard to work with. It's really nice to layer which is what I did with it.

Overall, I like the two products! I can't wait to style them. View my previous iWearSin haul here.

Shop Kollage Review / Haul

Shop Kollage

Shop Kollage is a new online clothing store with so many different graphic tees, tanks, and many accessories!

I'm Actually A Mermaid Miami Style Tank Top

You are warned now! These tanks are called "beach tops" because they are meant to go over your bikini as a cover up! I was surprised at how large it was, but then I realized what exactly it was, and I love it. This tank is perfect for the beach and I can't wait to wear it. It's such a soft material and the quote is adorable.

Summer Trees Tee

Such a nice quality t-shirt! Runs a bit big, but personally I don't mind. The graphic reminds me of California. :)

Camera Necklace

I love this necklace! It's perfect for vintage looks and layering. It comes in red as well! I'm excited to show this piece off.

Hipsta Please Graphic Earrings

These were a little pleasant surprise! I think they are adorable! Not available online yet, but there are many other graphic earrings that are adorable. Check them out here!

Cali iPhone Case

This is a great quality case with a really cute picture. I would recommend it to those of you with white iPhones, but it looks good on black as well! It makes me feel like a surfer. ;)

Overall, Shop Kollage is amazing and I really think you should check them out!

Gypsy Room Review / Haul

Gypsy Room

When Gypsy Room agreed to partner with me, they told me they would send me a package. I was super excited to receive a package that I wouldn't know was inside of it. I was a little worried (even though I researched this company and I LOVE the stuff they sell) because I'm usually picking out the items I receive. But I love what came!

Boho Headband

I usually don't wear headbands, but that's only because I don't really own any. I think this one is adorable! Not only is it cute, but the quality is spectacular. It's really stretchy and thick; it doesn't feel like it will ever snap. I love the little embellishments on the band as well. I think this headband would look great with any type of hair, and it would look amazing wrapped around your head too!

Tribal Print Shorts

I'm going to be one hundred percent honest with you all, I probably wouldn't have thought to buy these for myself. I'm not a huge tribal print lover and I feel like tribal doesn't really fit my style. Obviously, that's a personal preference and doesn't take away from how lovely these shorts feel and look on your body. I love the texture, which is a really soft silky feel. the waist band is nice and stretchy, but still hugs your waist the way it should. If you are into tribal shorts and are looking into these, get them! You won't regret it!

Blue Polka Dot Lace Shorts

Queue heart eye emoji. I am actually in love with these shorts right now. When I got these out of the package, I might have screamed. Look how cute they are! And they look even more amazing on. They fit my style perfectly and I cannot wait to style these!

(Both shorts are not yet available. I will update this when they are!)

Bows Please Review / Haul

Black and Gold Bow

Black and White Striped Bow

Black Bow

Bows Please is an adorable little shop that sells nice quality hair bows at a great price. In this picture, the black one at the bottom looks just like an American Apparel hair bow. It's amazing! These bows have french clips which are perfect for half up half down looks which is my favorite thing to do with bows. Bows Please has so many amazing patterns, I just wanted to go for staple fabrics. Check them out!

Hogwarts | The Perks Shop

The Perks of Being a Weasley

Fandom fans need to check out this shop... Such cute fandom apparel! :) The shirts are amazing quality. The "Okay Okay" t-shirt and the Hogwarts t-shirt are obviously t-shirt material, but the "always" tank is a nice, stretchy jersey material. I absolutely love everything!

One Spring Dress, Four Different Ways

I received this pink and white floral dress from iWearSin, and I absolutely love it. It's so versatile and so cute. I've come up with four different outfits and four different ways to wear this one dress. :)

Sportier

This first outfit is perfect if you're going to have to walk around a lot. The dress is paired with a practical bag that brings out the orange color in the dress, white sneaker shoes that are perfect for a day of walking, and some white rimmed sunglasses.

Bag: c/o Deshops

Shoes: Charlotte Russe

Sunglasses: Kohls

Chillier

The jean jacket in this look gives you some added warmth. Spring days can vary, they can either be really nice and warm, or sometimes rainy and cold. (At least where I live.) This jacket isn't too heavy that it looks winter-y, but it's not too light that it's not warm enough. 

Jacket: Forever 21

Bow: c/o Sundried Stars

Shoes: c/o Debshops

Festival

This look just reminds me of a festival. This outfit could be worn on a casual day to the mall, or a nice lunch. It's very light and airy and screams spring.

Cardigan: c/o Debshops

Shoes: c/o Debshops

Sunglasses: c/o Sunglass Spot

Flower Crown: c/o Debshops

Sunday Brunch

This cutesy look is perfect for a day out on the town. It reminds me of something I would wear on a nice sunny Sunday. The sandals bring out the orange in the dress, and the scarf is in place of having to wear a necklace. 

Scarf: Charlotte Russe

Sunglasses: c/o Sunglass Spot

Shoes: Forever 21

iWearSin Review / Haul

Haul / Review!

When I received my iWearSin package, I was not expecting to be this blown away by everything inside.

 I was asked to pick out some items from their site to receive and review, as well as wear on my Instagram. Naturally I gravitated toward the floral and daisies, but I also wanted a plain staple piece. Here are the items I received and what I thought about each piece.

Keyholes Midi Singlet

It's a bit wrinkled but nothing a clothing iron can't fix. When I took this top out of the package the first thing that struck me was how light and soft it was.  It's a nice, stretchy material that feels cool on the skin. I love the way it fits! It's not too tight, but it's not too loose. It goes right about to my bellybutton and is a bit longer in the back. Speaking of the back... the keyhole cut outs are my favorite part. This top would be perfect on someone with shorter hair or an up-do to show off the unique back. I definitely love this top. Purchase here.

Dorothy Babydoll Dress

This dress is SO. CUTE. I might have squealed when I tried it on... Anyway the cut of this dress is so simple, but the way it fits and hugs your body is perfect. Perfect for twirling. Not to mention the pattern on it is adorabley girly. The dress's fabric quality is amazing. It's a thicker material, but still breathable. Perfect dress for spring and summer. Purchase here.

Daisy-Strapped Cropped Top

 (Again, I might need to iron it out a bit.) Me and my daisies... Ha. I've always seen bloggers and Instagramers with the daisy trimmed tank tops and crop tops from places like Fashion Q and Forever 21, but I can never seem to find them myself. I found one at Pacsun once, but it was much too expensive for my taste. So when I saw this cropped top on iWearSin, I jumped on it. I really like it. It fits me really well, and hangs on me perfectly. I was a little afraid that the straps would be too long and that it would hang too low, but that is not an issue. I love the way it hangs and the ruffle-y look to it. The one and only issue I have with it is that the picture on the website makes it look pure white, when in fact it's a shade of off white. Also, the website pictures only the shoulder straps with daisy trim, but the front and the back have daisy trim as well. Purchase here.

Pool of Daisies Cropped Top

Daisies. Of course... Love this top. I'm definitely going to wear this with a black skirt or maybe a white skirt. The length of this cropped top is just about at the bellybutton, but I'm about 5"3 so that's the length it is on me. Overall I love the length and fit! Purchase here.

Baby Petals Cropped Top

I LOVE this one so much. The little print on this top is adorable. It's a bit hard to see, but there are little tulips all over it. This is the fanciest quality out of all the items I got because it's more of a silky fabric. It also has adjustable shoulder straps and a slip underneath. The only thing about this top is that the website makes it look a lot different than it looks in person but, to be honest, I like how it looks in person way better! Purchase here.

Overall, I love iWearSin. Their clothing is super cute and amazing quality. I totally recommend you all check out their website and browse through the unique pieces.
