Friday Favorites // T-Shirts

Friday, May 1, 2015

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!

Instagram feeds are the worst.

Friday, January 31, 2014

I've been getting all of my posts done early this week. Totally posted a playlist on a wednesday and the wish list on tuesday. Way to be, Dani. Way to be. Why not get the Friday Favorites done early too? These still might be put up on Friday, but at least it won't be on Saturday!

Back to the fast.

Wednesday, January 29, 2014

I went shopping! Got some wishlist items. So I'm on a fast now, you know gotta afford food and stuff. Wishlists will still happen...but I'll probably have to make unrealistic ones so I don't get tempted. Don't even try to tell me that you don't love a good sale. Or a good shopping trip. It happens. Even to the stingiest of people. So here are some things that I got.

Gap is having this really rad sale right now...I would suggest checking it out. It was so rad that I am adding prices to this thing. Wahooo.

1 // First, I looked at the jeans. I love me some gap jeans. So comfy and they make my butt look good to put it bluntly. These are perfectly distressed and I got them for $21.00 with some cents thrown in there. My mind was blown. 
2 // This t-shirt. Gold. $4.97. Not even kidding. 
3 // I'm wearing this beauty right now. Comfortable, cute, stylish, perfectly loose. Plus, Tyler likes it.  Oh...$6.49. That's stealing people! 
4 // I know, I know. It's striped and navy and something I have in my closet. But I don't have one JUST like this.  It's also incredibly soft. It was also $9.07
5 // Long, long ago...I begged my mom for a pair of slip on vans. At the time we couldn't afford them so she got me some beautiful air walk slip ons with music notes on them. I was in love. I wore those shoes until they smelled terrible and the soles had holes. They were incredibly comfortable and really cute. Well now that I'm older...I can actually buy my own Vans. I had been wanting these for a while. I know that they aren't booties, but I decided to give the bootie craze a rest...I'll get some later. When I find the perfect pair. For now, these are my favorite thing in the entire world. So comfortable and so cool. It is love, really. 
What's on your wish list? Are you a fan of Gap? Check out their sale, you won't regret it. Happy wishing and wearing. Stay gold. 

Wishlist Wednesday: Back to School, Part 2

Wednesday, August 15, 2012

IF YOU WANT TO SEE PART 1, CLICK HERE.
I feel like I'm always making promises to you guys about what I'm going to post. Like my healthy lifestyle/goals post? Yeah whatever happened to that? Oh and what about the Wishlist Wednesday post not on a Wednesday? Well you see, I really did intend to keep those promises, but there is something called moving away from home in a week and that has pretty much been on my mind. PLUS, I got most of my Back to School shopping done clothing wise (I have some other things from my first wishlist that I have my eyes on), so I thought that showing you what I got would make up for NOT posting another wishlist. Some of my wishes were granted so hopefully these pictures do the items justice. And hopefully you can forgive me for not keeping the promises I make. Trust issues? Yeah, I know.

Oh one more thing, I'm thinking about changing my font, because I noticed that a lot of the blogs I follow have the same one, and I thought maybe you'd like to see something different. I know I'd like to see something different. So if my font changes a ton in the next few days, forgive me.

AND one more one more thing...I apologize right now for the poor quality of the pictures. I am not cool like my brother, I don't have a Canon something something that costs $3,000.00. I had to work with what I had. So please don't hate me for the bad quality. I know, I'm a bad blogger.

Just kidding ONE MORE THING, also, be ready for a lot of stripes, and remember everything looks better on than on the hanger. Does that make sense? It should. 

Anyway, ENJOY!
Dark Wash Skinny Jeans from...guess...WALMART! I know I was surprised when I found them. They are EXACTLY like Forever 21 skinny jeans. To keep them in good shape. Wash and then air dry.

A prime example that these look better on. The hanger is too small so it makes them look so frumpy. I got these at RUE 21. Unfortunately, they are not on the website, but I will link you to something similar. If you like the floral jean trend, go to your nearest Rue 21, JC Penney, or Target. They have a bunch of cute and inexpensive styles.

Another Rue 21 purchase that is not on the website. Mustard jeans were the first pair of colored skinnies that I wanted. It was like they were the most popular color when that trend started so I could never find any. I finally found some for $10?!?! Yes! BTW Rue 21 is having a BOGO for $10 deal right now. Here are some similar ones.

That is not a stain on the bottom. that's a dust fleck on my camera lense darn it. As if I didn't love mustard enough, I got a mustard cardigan, and I promise you it looks so much better on. I can't say it enough. This one is from the Gap Factory Outlet. I will probably wear it with just about everything. You can find similar ones here, here, and here.

Undershirts, tank tops in all colors and patterns. These are from The Gap, but you can get undershirts just about everywhere.

I have already worn this shirt and it is one of the most comfortable shirts I own. I love the palm tree screen print. My mom also loves this shirt because she says it reminds her of her home Puerto Rico. Man, wouldn't it be nice to grow up next to the beach? This shirt is by O'NEILL, but I got it at Ross: Dress for Less so I don't know if it will be online, but you can find similar ones here.

It's crooked...grr. Anyway, I got this at the Gap Factory Outlet, but here is a similar top also from The Gap.

I GOT A DENIM VEST! What a style step for me. Be prepared fall/winter sweaters...you will have a new friend. I got this at Ross: Dress for Less for really cheap. Way cheaper than this similar one.

C'est la Vie. LA VIE! // Billabong // Similar

I think this will look SO cute with the mustard cardigan. Ross: Dress for Less // Similar

I have already talked about this one. Got it for half price at Dillards! So worth it.

This cool shirt is reversible! WOO! I have not been able to find anything similar to it.

Another striped shirt. I know. AE // 1

I got this at a local boutique.

Ross: Dress for Less // Similar
Are you ready to go back to school? Bring on the Fall! At least I get to wear boots and cardigans. Right? Comment below and have a grand dippity day.

Friday Favorites

Friday, August 10, 2012

1. A healing mouth.
I was able to bite into a burger and actually chew it. It was the best thing in the entire world. The bruising is going down, and I just finished my antibiotic...SO NO MORE NAUSEA ATTACKS!

2. Project Runway
My favorite show. Ever. More than ANTM. More than Friday Night Lights...okay maybe not, but I love that show. The new season is kinda bugging me though. Have any of you been watching it? What do you think of the designers? Do you think they are talented? Me? Not so much. I think the people with the most promise are Dmitry, Sonjia, and Ven.

3. Back to School Shopping
It can be such a pain, especially when you're looking for deals, but when you do find great deals it's so much fun. I love shopping. It's not good, but I love shopping. I have picked up some cute stuff if I do say so myself.

4. FLORAL PANTS
It may look like my feet are dirty, but I promise they are not. The discoloration you see is a tanline that I got from my sandals. Triangle tan lines WOO!

Aren't these great? I got them at Rue 21 for $10! I was worried about the quality, I haven't worn them yet, but they feel nice and durable. I will get some good wear out of them. 

5. Ross/T.J. Maxx/ The Gap Factory Store
Shirts and pants under 20 dollars? Count me in!

6. Friday Night Lights and Friendship Bracelets.
Ah Timmy, there is a glare on your face but you are still so good looking.
My sister and I spent our whole Wednesday watching Tim Riggins be gorgeous, and making candy stripe friendship bracelets. A day well spent I say.

7. Say Yes to the Dress
For some reason, I am addicted to that show. Whenever they are having a marathon on TLC I am hooked. I get crazy wedding fever. Sigh.

8. Jeremiah's with the Family
Today my dad came home and wanted some good home cooking. So instead of having my mom make something, we went down to Jeremiah's and indulged in the best comfort food in town. To make it even better, it was pouring rain outside. Oh so cozy. I love nights like these. I really love food and I REALLY REALLY REALLY love my family. So it was perfect.

Now for some Pinterest Fave's and Bloglovin'!

Pinspiration
It's the same for the ladies. Take note people.
Yes. It's the same for you ladies.

Edgy and chic.

Wishlist Wednesday: White, blue, and some color too.

3 Perfect Summer Blouses
American Eagle: 1, 2, 3
I love a white, blue, and cream palette for summer. It is even better when lace, stripes, and eyelet details are added. These three blouses add a cute and feminine look to any summer outfit. Thank you American Eagle for beautiful new arrivals.

Also from American Eagle...
AE Detailed French Terry Popover 
For those cooler summer nights.

Now for my two favorite summer pairings. White and feminine tops with colored jeans.

(I think the jeans are now sold out...but I put a link for the white ones, they are on sale.) 

The next two items are things that I LOVE to pair with my colored jeans. I can't have enough denim/chambray shirts, and I really want a pair of HIGH-TOP (because I already have the low-top ones) White Chuck Taylor Converse. 
The Gap

Converse

A girl can't have enough skirts. Especially during the summer, since it gets so hot. You'll need a neutral to go with everything, and a colorful one for a little pop of fun.
J.Crew
J.Crew


AND now for my final and quite random wishlist item...

A STAR MACHINE!


Isn't it beautiful? I don't know where to buy this but I saw it on Pinterest and I fell in love. Stars are my favorite. I love star gazing, I love the night sky, the universe, infinity and beyond. I love it. If anyone knows where I can get this...please comment below. My future husband and I are for sure going to cuddle and star gaze with this beauty one day. We'll listen to Beth/Rest and just enjoy the moment. Oh man, I am already crying from the beauty of this future moment. 

Now you know the drill, have any wishlist items that you want to share? Comment below! Happy wishing everybody!

Wishlist Wednesday: The Beginnings of Summer

Wednesday, June 6, 2012

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.
