My Shoe Collection (Part 3)♥

Quick Update: Hey everyone! It sure has been a while, hasn't it! I miss you guys. Unfortunately there has been a lot of things in my personal life that have pulled me back from blogging a bit. As I sit here I'm forcing myself to write this post. Which is weird for me since blogging is one of my favorite things in the world and I've always been excited to create for you all. But these past couple weeks have been tough so I guess I needed a bit of a break. No worries though, I'm getting through it and I want to keep these posts up for you guys through thick and thin. Thank you for your never ending support and love, I could never ask for better readers than you guys.

As I was going through my closet I realized how many shoes I've bought since I did my last shoe collection post (I'll link part one and two below). Therefor, a part three is definitely in order! Hope you all enjoy and as always make sure and let me know which are your favorites.

This first pair I bought over the summer. They were so much fun to wear with shorts or cuffed skinny jeans. I've always loved the boat shoe look because it's both classy and feminine, with a hint of preppy.

Deep down I knew these shoes were not necessary in my closet whatsoever. Unfortunately I ended up getting them anyways and they've just been sitting around because, you guess it, I haven't worn them once. I mean what in the world do you wear these with? A ballgown? 

Although I have many Converse, this is my only pair of high tops. Because I'm short I don't wear them a lot because they seem to make me look even shorter...if that's even possible. But none the less I do love the deep rich red color and think these are super cute and fun to wear. 

These taupe/grey wedges were so much fun to rock over the summer. They go with just about anything and are so comfortable. I never realized how much I love this color as well, it's a lovely soft neutral that just about anyone could rock.

I am somewhat obsessed with these shoes. They have been my go to for fall and look lovely with skinny jeans, an oversized sweater, and scarf. I feel like these are a great staple shoe that every girl should own for the chillier seasons ahead. 

When these shoes came to my work, I about passed out. This may sound strange but for years now I have wanted a pair of Tiffany Blue Converse. The color always makes me happy for some reason, it's so bright and cheery. Definitely a fun pop of color. 

These shoes are definitely some of my favorites in my collection (Thank you camera for taking such a crappy picture). Although they are fairy uncomfortable, these baby's are so freaking sexy to me. They are one of the highest I own, and wearing them for over, oh I don't know, five minutes? Will kill your feet to no end. But hey, at least you'll look amazing, right? 

This is another pair of shoes I was so incredibly excited about owning, a pair of cherry red Doc Martins. These shoes scream grunge and are a perfect pop of color to any casual outfit and give off that 90's Nirvana vibe.

Hello fellow fashionistas! I am so honored to have been given this opportunity with a 

fabulous woman who is so incredibly talented! I can't wait for all the fun and joy to come 

from this blog! And I can't wait to talk to all of you! Tell me what you think! If you like 

what you see or have any questions on what to wear; hit me up on social media!

For my first outfit, I decided to combine casual with a little formality to it. I am wearing this argyle sweater from JC Penney, Dillon black skinny jeans, a black watch from Macy's, & black and gray vans. {But black and grey converse might be a better look, though!}

My second outfit, and my personal favorite, I went with teal skinny jeans from H&M, a grey top from JC Penney, and St. John's Bay boat shoes. This outfit is so much fun to wear and literally almost any top will work on pretty much anyone!

For outfit three, I wanted to create a warm, cafè look. I'm wearing this olive green tee, tan cardigan from H&M, red suede pants from JC Penney, & these blue suede shoes from H&M. 

For my last and final outfit, I went with something casual and fun! I decided on an H&M sweatshirt, tan skinny jeans from American Eagle, and tan St. John's Bay boat shoes.

Stay Fabulous Cuties♥

FIGHTING GRAVITY.

Hello my darlings! I love the idea of simplistic beauty when it comes to style. So that being said, all I am wearing in this outfit is this black dress from Wildfox, nude pumps by Brash, and black cross body purse. What do YOU think of my outfit?

Stay Beautiful♥

A Girls Guide To: Bras

Quick Update: Hello my loves! Thank you for all baring with me as I have been away on different trips and such lately. I miss all of you terribly and am trying my hardest to make time and make these posts for you all. This is a new series I am giving a shot and, depending on my response, I will keep doing it. Your feedback is always appreciated my darlings. Thanks for being the best fans and readers I could have ever asked for.

PS: Want your name and blog link to be featured in my next "A Girl's Guide To Fashion" post? Simply subscribe and leave me a comment below letting me know what you'd like me to talk about next! I'll pick someone at random when I post these and will let you know if you've been chosen.

Ladies, we all know that bras are a necessity in one's closet. And today's post will be giving you some tips and tricks on how to pick out the perfect bra that not only fits, but is quality, has cuteness, as well as practicality all at the same time. 

First things first... Find your size. This is something that most women fail to do, and instead spend countless hours trying on bras that might not even be close to their size. It will save you time (Because really, who enjoys trying them on?) Many department stores do this, like Macy's, for example. 

Where should I start shopping? When I was younger, I made the mistake of shopping for bras at any place who sold them cheapest. And as I've grown older, I've come to realize how stupid I was for doing so. Please please please, do not go to Walmart and do not go to Target. They are cheap, never last long, and will not be as flattering as better and more quality brands. Although it may be a bit pricier, splurging a bit on undergarments is something I truly believe in. These are the base and the staple to your outfits.

Some good places to buy bras:

-Victoria's Secret

-Macy's

-Ross 

Tips & Tricks While Shopping?

-Find a bra that is going to feel good and fit well. Although it's hard at times (Especially in Victoria's Secret), try not to get overwhelmed by the cuteness factor and instead find something that is comfortable and something that you'll actually wear without it hurting you. Now if it's cute and comfortable? You have a win win situation my friend.

-Be aware of color and texture. If you're going for practicality here, make sure and have one skin color and one black bra. When you start getting into crazy colors, patterns, and textures it's a different story. Because let me tell you honey, wearing a hot pink lacy printed bra under a white tee shirt or tank top is not going to look good on a day to day basis. Fun undergarments like these are definitely great to have as well, but just make sure that you have the basics in your closet first.

-Bring a t-shirt with you. After trying on your bra put it on. This will help you see if it's going to look good and flatter you (Shape wise) under simple shirts like these.

That's it for today's post my loves, I hope you enjoyed and were able to learn a few things about finding the perfect bra. Doing so will change your life, I assure you. Good luck to you all!

Stay Beautiful♥

Styled Person Of Interest: Jennifer Aniston♥

As I was trying to figure out who I wanted to spotlight today, my beautiful mother walked in my room and started to talk about how much she loves Jennifer Aniston. Perfect! I thought. Although Jennifer's style isn't exactly really unique, out there, or statement, she has a very casual chic look that I think is great for the simplistic woman who isn't looking to be the center of attention, but still look beautiful in what she wears! So in today's post I will be showing you some of my favorite outfit's that she has rocked over the years. 

Jen's style has a very edgy vibe to it. On her days off you will spot her wearing a leather jacket and jeans, usually with a scarf. She knows how to add just the right amount of edgy to where she still looks feminine and girly but while also keeping that casual rocker look.

I love love LOVE this dress on her. She has such a lovely figure and really, you'd have to have that to rock this number. Sometimes, simple is better. You see celebrities wearing lots of jewlery, bold patterns and colors, etc - But this is a perfect example that sometimes less is more.

I think this outfit would be lovely for fall. Layer with a scarf, long coat, a shorter skirt, tights, and boots. Also I really like how she uses lots of neutral colors in her outfits. She loves to mix beige's, browns, grays, and blacks to create a subtle but quite lovely look.

This is the perfect "Casual Summer" look. As I keep stating it is simple, but just stunning! Focusing your outfit on one statement piece (And by statement I mean a loud color, pattern, or design) and keeping the rest pretty casual can create a really great everyday look that anyone can replicate.

My inner rocker is absolutely obsessed with this. Dark colors, leather, buckles, *Sigh*, can she look any better? I think not. To achieve an edgy rocker look, layering is key. Layer necklaces, tops, scarves, etc to bring out your inner bad girl/boy!

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you know how much I love black and how much I love leather. I think that Jen achieves another edgy look here, without it being too out there. If you are someone who likes that rocker vibe but doesn't want to look too out there or crazy, this is the look for you.

So tell me my beautiful freaks...Which look is YOUR favorite?

Stay Beautiful♥
