Inspired // It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it

Anyone else obsessed with "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit like I am?

Update: I have a job interview tomorrow. It's at a clothing store. Wish me luck!

Here are some things that inspire me...

1 // Brows are such a personal thing. Recently I was griping about my eyebrows while filling them in. I kept thinking to myself that I had to get them waxed or do something with them, and then I realized there was a reason why I hadn't already done that. It's because I don't want to. I like my eyebrows the crazy way they are. Lots of fluffs and some rouge ones here and there, but so what! 

2 // Two sizes too big, please!

3 // Ah the floral and feminine dress...I'm a sucker for these. 

4 // Like I said, two sizes too big, please!

5 // Although it's not very practical or comfortable to have glitter thrown in your face, it's a nice touch if you want to feel extra fancy with your glitter clutch. 

6 // Because I desperately want an eyelash boob shirt. 

P.S. I don't own all of these photos. Found most of them on my Pinterest.

Friday Favorites // T-Shirts

Hey friends, I have found the drive to keep going. So what if I write about silly stuff like t-shirts? Who really cares? I sure don't.

So let's talk about t-shirts. I own waaaay too many of them. You own waaaay too many of them. Oprah probably doesn't own waaaay too many of them, but she probably would if she could. 

Okay and maybe t-shirts aren't the most fashionable thing, but if I've learned one thing about fashion, it's that it's all individual, unless you are applying for a position at Vogue, then you better get your shiz together and find a friend who can get you Chanel samples pieces STAT. 

Anyway, I am all about the t-shirt. I've said it once, and I'll say it again...I am a t-shirt and jeans girl. Throw in an oversized bag for a dress and call me fantastic. Take that, Anna! Okay, just kidding Anna...I love you. 

So here is a round up of some of my favorite t-shirts to sport when the whether gets warm. I'll try to find all the exact shirts from my closet, but we're just going to do the best that we can. Ya dig? Ya dig. 

And one more thing...why don't I wear more color? I need to get my act together. 

1 // So I bought this from J.Crew on a mega-sale, for like $14. Well the sleeves were massive and so I chopped them. Now it's the best short-sleeve top I have. The double-stripe gets me every time. Now if I could just find shorts that are gold like those pants. 

2 & 3 // The best shirts I have ever spent money on. So they don't look like much and everyone thinks they are too boxy, but they are Gap's best made items, ever, in my very humble opinion. You could honestly wear these reversed, roll up the sleeves, half tuck them, dress up, dress down...I'm currently craving a striped midi skirt to wear them with. The world in your oyster with these babies on. Plus, comfort. They are straight up the most comfortable things. I almost wore the grey one for 3 days straight. Oh wait, I didn't almost, I did. 

4 // I think I'm sharing this dress mostly because of the way the girl is standing in it. What is with "models" and all instagram fashion girls standing like this? I put quotations around models, because I don't mean Gigi Hadid models, I mean instagram models or girls from Utah that think they are really stylish. Okay am I being too mean? Probably. Okay, anyway, this dress it's light, it's comfortable and even though it's 3/4 sleeve you can still wear it because it is just that light and airy. The pocket is really cool too. I love a good chest pocket. 

I love all t-shirt dresses for this time of year. Target comes out with the best ones. So go look. Size up for a Pinterest, street style, parisian-chic look. And don't brush your hair for good measure. ;) 

5 // THIS DRESS. THE HEAVENS OPENED AND THE HALLELUJAH CHORUS SANG AND IT'S ANOTHER PIECE THAT I HAVE TO STOP MYSELF FROM WEARING FOR A WHOLE ENTIRE WEEK. 

All dramatics aside, I love this thing. I do, I do, I do. In fact, I should start a list of pieces that I will wear for the rest of my life. Or I should write a list in a notebook of things to never give away. 

6 // The A-Line top from H&M is a perfect staple for spring. It's swingy and it comes in different prints and colors. Unfortunately it shrinks horribly in the wash. My poor striped one is a few inches short now and I'm wondering if I should part with it. So hand-wash. Annoying, but just do it. Or buy a new one. It's $12.95 and I'm considering it. 

7 // The jersey tops that are $9.95 from H&M are another great piece. They also come in different colors and prints. They are also VERY comfortable. Like wearing a pajamas, but cool pajamas that you're not embarrassed to wear in public. They are extremely flattering too. I love flattering tops. 

8 // A t-shirt with varsity stripes. I have this one in all three colors, but there are better quality ones out there for cheap. These ones are seeing their last day, but I still like them. They are easy to throw on and I love wearing them with necklaces. Believe it or not, Forever 21 one versions of this shirt are WAY better for the price. These are particularly good with statement necklaces. So, you know? 

Alright, that's it! What are some of your warm-weather essentials? Let's talk. 

Have the best weekend!

Sweatshirt Crazy

Really though. I need to stop.

1 // You really can't beat a cream colored sweatshirt for Thanksgiving dinners, winter parties and gatherings and Christmas mornings. 

2 // And you definitely can't beat gray. The detailing. It's rad as rad can be. And pretty. You can beat pretty and rad all in one. 

3 // Guys. this dress is super flattering, super comfortable, but super expensive. It's gold. Like the perfect mix of classy casual. With opaque tights and booties..you're good to go.  

Happy wishing.
Stay gold.

Time to pull out your dresses! It's Spring time!

60 degree weather in Provo!? Heck. Yes. So that only means that it's time for skirts and dresses. Really, though I was just walking on campus and every girl was wearing a gingham shirt tucked into a swooshy skirt. And the sundresses. Mercy me, there are so many sundresses. A little side note, I think girls really need to learn how to wear slips, I have seen a lot of striped underwear too. So here are some dresses of the expensive kind. If you're looking for some not so expensive dresses, JCP has your back and any other store that you fancy.

1

This has got to be my favorite. Look at those HUGE dots! And I know it doesn't come with the belt, but it should. It's so darn adorable.

2

I am a sucker for black and white and a pop of neon. This is perfect for all of the neon pop suckers out there. 

3

 This is the flirty flared version of a polka dot dress.

4

 

And here is the shift dress version with scattered dots and complete clothing brilliance. Dreamy. 

And now for some color...

5

 The model in the picture doesn't look happy, but the color of the dress sure is!

6

The classic dress for me. The waistline, color, and material are perfect. Instead of calling it the Camille Dress, call it the Dani Dress.

Are you ready to wear dresses and skirts? What about shorts or capris? What are you excited to wear when the warm weather rolls around? Happy wishing!

P.S. The fast is going great, I am closer and closer to April! Oh my stars!

Wishlist Wednesday: The Beginnings of Summer

So the Summer Solstice isn't until June 21st, but that doesn't mean summer weather waits. Well, unless you live in Utah, then you have 60 degree weather after a day of 90 degree weather. It happens, but when it gets hot, let me tell you...it gets hot. So bring on the summer wishlists! Be ready for a lot of color and a lot of fun things.

Currently, I am on the hunt for a new swimsuit and some brighter pieces for the summer. Here are some pieces that have been an inspiration to me. If you guys have any idea where I could find some great but less expensive alternatives. Let me know! Also, make sure to comment below with some things that you have been wishing for.

Welcome summer!!

J.Crew

J.Crew

 I love the styles and patterns on these two swimsuits. Polka dots and poppies. Two of my favorite things. The only problem is that I was reading some reviews on J.Crew swimsuits, and they all said that they are definitely flimsy and revealing. They used the term "fripples" you can figure it out. That's the last thing I want.  If any of you have heard different let me know. Also if you know of places that sell this style of swimsuit that is very good quality let me know about that. I just want a cute, flattering, and good quality swimsuit. Is that too much to ask for?

The Gap: Shorts/Hoodie

I am obsessed with the neon trend this Spring/Summer. If I could own every neon pair of pants and shorts I would. I know a lot of people say that you won't be able to wear them after the trend is over, but heck I will. I will rock my neon coral pants and mint green ones forever. You can wear them with anything...if that's your style. It's mine so I think they were a great addition to my wardrobe. Anyway, I love the neon yellow shorts. There are also a pink pair that I think are amazing, but I think the yellow is just cute and really unique. I have seen a lot of pink shorts but not a lot of yellow ones.

Now I included the hoodie because I think it would just be a great thing to wear on a cooler summer day or on a cool summer night. It is a bright and fun color, but it is such a simple piece that it can be thrown on with any casual outfit. I think gap styles everything so well, so I would definitely wear the outfit that it shows in the picture. (With longer shorts of course ;) )

 

Anthropologie

Every once and a while, I browse the Anthropologie website. Every once and a while...actually all the time I see something that I love. This...this dress is perfect. I love it SO much. It's sold out and I'm sad. Maybe not so much because it's sold out, but because it was $89.95. Sigh...I need to learn how to sew ASAP. And I should probably stop wishing for expensive things. Even if I saved the money, I don't think I would spend that much for a dress when it could be made. Bright and colorful dresses for summer are the best. They are easy to style and wear. They keep you cool. They look cute. They are amazing.

Michael Kors

 I already have a Michael Kors watch that I got for Christmas last year. I love it so much and don't need a new one anytime soon, but I saw this on a girls wrist. I know I'm slightly creepy...and I just loved it so much that I had to go try it on at the Michael Kors store at City Creek. I did try it on and I really loved it. Something funny happened though, the sales associate saw the watch I have and she asked if she could try it on. So we traded watches and instead of trying to get me to buy the one I was trying on, she just kept going on about how much she loved the one I already have. It was really kind of her. She even called over another sales associate over to look at it. She asked me where I got it. It was super sweet and awesome of her. They don't sell it anymore though...so I hope she finds one that she likes just as much. I love people who make you feel great. Although I don't need it and won't be getting it any time soon, I love this watch because I think the white and rose gold compliment each other. It's a pretty and great summer accessory.

Modcloth

Modcloth

These two Modcloth pieces really make me realize that I have to stop liking expensive things... I see the prices of both and I just want to cry a little bit. I guess that's why these posts are called "Wishlists". I could only wish. Haha. Red is one of my favorite colors and I think this bag is just so bold and brilliant. It's an amazing pop of color. It's unique and it's so darn cute. I am a sucker for red patented leather.

Now the shoes. CRAZY right? You may be thinking...those would not be cute on anyone, but just click the link. You will see how beautiful and proportioned they are. They look amazing on. I think so anyway. Gosh I love them. I love the big bow, the heel. They are so cute...a girl can dream. Sure you can't wear them with everything but they can sure add the best statement to a simple dress, skirt, or pair of pants. Modcloth...you kill me.

Well that's about all for today. Make sure to comment below with cheaper alternatives, styling ideas, items on your wishlist. I love hearing from you guys. Have a wonderful Wednesday. Stay cool. Be safe, and come back tomorrow for a playlist.
