Trend Alert: All White

Hello Fashionistas!!! I just received my latest nerve block injection and, boy, am I feeling a lot better. :) I want to thank everyone for your sweet comments on my previous post. 

Whiteout 

Lately, I've seen many street style and runway outfits with all white elements. I must say that I really do like the trend. I think white is classic and timeless, and an all white look paired with a colored blazer/jacket would work amazingly for any occasion. I'm very impressed with the ladies that can pull off an all white look and keep everything nice and clean (with not even a speck of dirt) the entire day. I really do like the trend, and I definitely will attempt to try this trend out. Walking back and forth to class and going to the bioengineering lab everyday I always find dirt somewhere on me, but I'm definitely going to challenge myself to pull this trend off.

When going for white, I believe that you can't go wrong with a white piece in every thing. White dresses, white shoes, white shirts, everything just works with white!!!! 

Some of my Favorite Pieces:

White is perfect for any occasion. I really love this crocheted tunic. This would be perfect for the beach.

Crochet Swing Tunic: Asos, $80.03

I really love cardigans. I think that a woman should have a cardi in every color. This is a basic white cardigan, but the lace back makes this cardi so unique and feminine. 

Lace Back Linen Cardigan: Forever 21, $17.80]

I love embroidered things, and this dress is so cute that it should be illegal. This dress is fun and light. It's perfect for any occasion and very trendy for summer. 

Embroidered Lace Dress: Forever 21, $27.80

Peasant tops are super cute and comfortable. I really love that this one is lowy and simple yet very elegant and cute. 

Embroidered Peasant top: Forever 21, $19.80

I really love shorts. It's always hard to find an extremely comfortable pair, but these are cute, lightweight and PLEATED!!! Pleated shorts are extremely cute and trendy for summer, and this white pair can be worn with anything. 

Classic Pleated Woven Short: Urbanog.com, $15.80

What do you ladies think of this trend? How would you wear it? 

I hope everyone enjoyed today's post. I really love hearing your feedback. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

My Favorite Spring/Summer Trend and Health Update!!

Health Update

Hello Fashionistas!!!

I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in a few days. I suffer from Chronic headaches and nothing has helped. My neurologist recently started me on nerve block injections, and they have helped tremendously. I couldn't go a day without a headache, but now I can actually go full weeks without even a twinge of pain. Unfortunately, my last injection is wearing off today, but thankfully I'll be receiving another one Thursday!!! 

So let's get down to business.

Kimonos, Kimonos, Kimonos!!! 

 As I've gone out to do things from shopping to going to the doctor, I've seen kimonos everywhere. Even travelling long distances they're really  popular in so many different cities and states. I really think this trend is to die for. They can be worn with almost anything, and I have so many outfit ideas to pair them with. They're perfect for the rainy spring days and light enough for the sweltering summers. The best thing is: They come in so many different prints and styles!!! I can't wait to try out this amazing trend.

As you can see, kimonos can be dressed up or down by simply choosing the right style. Here are some of my favorite, affordable pieces:

Florals are perfect for spring and summer, and this kimono has really cute lace trim. You can pair it with a pair of cute jeans and a basic tank or a party dress for a night out.

Lace-trim floral kimono: Forever 21 and Forever21.com, $19.80

Another great option is this rose print maxi kimono. It's chic and can be worn casually or formally. Chiffon is light and perfect in blocking the sun. Plus, this cutie can also double as a robe!!

Rose print maxi kimono: Forever21.com, $24.80

I love everything about this kimono!! Especially the flowy, asymmetrical back. It's chiffon and of course floral print. I would definitely pair this with a cute pair of high waisted shorts or jeans and a cute cropped tank. For a more dressy feel, pair this with a cute midi dress or skirt. 

Sheer floral print kimono top: Charlotterusse.com, $24.99

What do you ladies think of this trend and what would you pair it with? 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have an amazing day!!!

How to Wear your Hair when Working Out!!!

With summer and the really nice shorts and romper weather coming, many girls want to be or remain in tip top shape. Believe it or not, over 60% of women say they don't workout because they don't want to ruin their hair. The prices to get your hair done professionally can be very expensive, and ruining your hair during a workout is a huge waste of money. 

How to maintain your style after working out:

While working out, the scalp is going to sweat which heats up the roots. Your hair will take the shape of the style that you have it in while working out, so think about how you wish to wear your hair afterwards. 

If you have a straight style, pull your hair into a low ponytail using a ribbon tie elastic to avoid the dent that regular elastic bands leave. 

If you would like your hair more wavy after working out, braid your hair into a fishtail from mid-length to end, and tie your hair with a ribbon elastic.

For loose curls with a lot of volume, go for a high bun (once again using a ribbon elastic) making sure your hair isn't slicked back, which causes your hair to flatten. 

If you have naturally curly or wavy hair, opt for a braided or twisted style since the hair will coil up even more after sweating. 

Also use a sports/sweat headband (for each style) instead of a regular headwrap. 

Ribbon elastics come in many cute prints, and you can usually get them for around $4-$5 for a pack of 5 or more. 

Ribbon elastics: Target and Target.com, Goody: $4, Remington: $5

You can also purchase many different prints and styles of sports headbands. They soak up sweat really well and many of them are reversible. I love the Goody brand.

Goody Athletique Reversible Quick dry Multi-colored headband: Target and Target.com, $5.

If washing your hair after a workout ruins your style or if you just don't feel like it, spray a little dry shampoo or a powdery based spray onto your hair. This keeps your hair smelling nice and leaves your hair looking fresh. 

Dove Dry Shampoo Invigorating: Target and Target.com, $3.94

How do you ladies style your hair when working out?

Thank you all for stopping by. I really hope you enjoyed this post. Please feel free to leave your comments and questions below. Happy Tuesday!!!

Birthday Outfit of the Day!!!

Hello Fashionistas!!! Sorry it has taken me so long to do my OOTD. My birthday was May 1st, and finals were the next week. So, I've been pretty busy. I had an amazing 3-day birthday (lol), and I wanted to change up my style and do something different. 

For my birthday, I decided to do an Egyptian goddess like look. I thought that it would look amazing for spring. I opted for coral (my favorite spring color) and gold because these two colors look amazing together.

I paired this really cute chiffon coral top (with crochet detail) with a basic pair of cropped jeans. The jeans were a little longer on me because I'm short, so i decided to cuff them which I think turned out great. I wasn't sure of what shoes I wanted to wear, so I browsed through my closet and found my really cute Crochet wedges. I think that the shoes bring out the crochet in the top more, and the coral really brings out the gold accessories. Below are close-ups of my accessories. 

I love hair accessories, and I usually never go out without one. I wasn't sure what headwrap or headband would look great with this outfit, and then it hit me!!! I've always wanted to wear a head chain and this one has a really Goddess-y feel to it. I love it!!! I thought that it wouldn't look good with my curly hair, but I totally love how it turned out. 

I love bib necklaces!!! I really wanted a unique one that you don't see everyday, and this fan bib is just what I wanted. It's cute, fun and unique. It would look great with a casual or formal look.

I really got into hand chains a few years back, and I didn't want to overdo my outfit by adding too many accessories. I remembered that I had this gorgeous gold hand chain and it was the perfect finishing touch to my outfit.

Top: F21, Cropped Jeans: F21, Necklace: F21, Head chain: Amazon, Hand Chain: Claire's, Wedges: Urbanog.com ( I think!! )

I really hope everyone enjoyed this post. Please feel free to leave questions and comments below. Thank you all for your support!! Also, I hope everyone has a great Mother's Day!!!!

Birthday Haul

Hello Fashionistas. I hope everyone is having an amazing day so far. I'm extremely excited today because tomorrow is my 22nd birthday. Yay!!!!!! I'm going to be doing so many awesome things this weekend with my friends and family, and I can barely contain my excitement. I'm always happy that my birthday is the first of May, because I have a little break before finals week to relax and not worry about over-studying. So, let's get right down to business!!!

Pre-Birthday Haul (I will also be posting this haul under the Hauls tab)

At first my intentions were to go to the mall and just find an outfit to wear for my birthday, but then I started shopping online, and when I saw all of the amazing things, I decided to treat myself to a little more. 

These are some of the amazing things that I purchased (and I still have more coming through mail)!!! I will be posting close-ups of everything below.

I'm a really big fan of crochet, and these flats are to die for, not to mention they were only $10!!! I've actually already worn these once last weekend, and my only complaint is that they're really painful on your feet. I was out for around 5 hours that day, and I wasn't doing any excessive walking (and they're not too small either). By the second hour I was out, I noticed that my pinky toes on both feet were hurting really badly. I mean so bad that it started being difficult to walk. When I finally arrived home, I had huge blisters from all of the rubbing. If any of you have purchased or are going to purchase these shoes, I would recommend putting something soft in between your pinky toes and the shoes. 

I think this is my favorite piece that I purchased. This is a cute chiffon top, and the color is actually a pretty coral (my coral fascination!!). It has a really pretty crocheted collar and a keyhole back.

So, I really wanted to wear a cute and girly muscle tee, but I didn't have the muscles to wear it (lol). Now my arms are super toned and I can't wait to show them off in this flowy Chic top. 

I love coral for spring!! It's really pretty and soft. I fell in love with these high waisted shorts mainly because of the gold buttons. The gold compliments coral really well. I can't wait to create an outfit with these.

I'm in looooove with this romper!!! The print is really fun, and it's so comfortable. This really has a spring-y feeling to it, and it will look great with a cute cardi. 

I saw these jeans online at F21, and I was a little cautious to buy them. They were only $7.80. I thought they were going to be really thin and cheaply made. When I finally received them in the mail, I loved them. They're perfect for spring. They're light on your skin, and they're well made. 

 I've always wanted a bib necklace, and I was so happy when I found this unique fan bib. Gold is my favorite color for jewelry, and this necklace is perfect for a casual or a formal look. I've actually wanted to wear a head chain for a while. I wasn't sure how it would look with my curly hair, and after browsing Youtube for a while, I saw a lot of girls that wore a head chain with their curly hair, and it looked amazing. I loved it even more than with straight hair. I can't wait to wear it with something in coral. :)

OMG!!! I love Hello Kitty so much. I have so much Hello Kitty jewelry, and I noticed that I didn't have any rings. OMG WHY DIDN'T I HAVE ANY RINGS???!!!! I actually was just going to buy one, but I liked these two and just couldn't choose between them. I had to have them both.

One day last week, I received a ups package from Ulta, and it had my name on it. I hadn't purchased anything from Ulta and I had no idea who did. When I opened the package, I saw a little card. I opened it and it read, "Happy Birthday, Sis!!!" I was so excited that my big sister had sent me something great for my birthday. I was actually about to purchase this Chi Luxe Thirst Relief Conditioner because of all the great reviews. It really does work perfectly for curly hair, and my hair always feels moisturized. 

I also love the Diane High Volume Detangler comb. My hair always gets even more tangled when I wash it in the shower, and when began to apply my conditioner so that I could start the detangling process, I noticed that this comb just easily glided through my hair. I came to the conclusion that the section of hair I was working on just wasn't tangled. So, I moved on to the next section, and the comb glided easily through once again. I was ecstatic that I've finally found a comb that really detangles my hair easily without pulling it out and having to spend too much time on it. My sister is awesome!!!! 

I hope everyone enjoyed this haul. I will also be posting it under the Hauls tab so that no one will have to search for it. I will also be posting an easy spring nail tutorial later this week. It will be posted under the posts tab and the tutorials tab. Please, feel free to leave comments and questions. Thank you all for stopping by. Have a fabulous day.

Spring Fashion Trends to Try!!!

Ahhh, Spring! The most versatile season there is. Spring is the season for amazing weather and even better fashion. You can wear cute shorts and rompers, and the weather is still nice enough to wear gorgeous cardigans. Some of my favorite trends are bold prints, bohemian, brights, and cropped tops. Here are a few cute and affordable options to try:

BOLD PRINTS: When searching for bold prints, look for awesome prints that can be worn from day to night.

Tribal print is a really popular print this fall. You can have a casual day by pairing this dress with a pair of cute flats and a crossbody bag, or you can dress it up by adding a cute cardigan and a pair of wedges.

Every lady needs a really cute pair of trouser shorts in their closet. This bold mixed print will definitely make a fashion statement. You can keep it simple by pairing these shorts with a cute solid colored crop top and a pair of flats, or dress it up by adding a bib necklace, bangles, and wedges.

BOHEMIAN: Bohemian inspired looks are really fun, flirty, and perfect for spring. You can turn pretty much any outfit into a Bohemian look by adding the correct accessories.

For this cute kimono and gorgeous coral shorts, I can't talk about one without mentioning the other. Coral is the perfect and most popular spring color. This is the perfect look for a finals day at school. Pairing these cuffed cuties with a basic crop top, bangles, sandals, cute backpack,  and this bright floral kimono will scream that you're fun and girly while still being comfortable and laid back.

Kimono: Forever21.com, $22.80

CROP TOPS: crop tops can be worn with anything. You can pair them with a cute skater skirt for a casual lunch date, or dress it up by pairing them with a bodycon skirt for a glamorous night out. They are really popular with high waist shorts, and this spring, a two piece set is storming the fashion scene.

Crop tops come in many different cute styles that can be worn for day or night looks. A basic crop top should is a staple to keep in your closet. Printed crop tops are perfect for spring and can be paired with anything high waisted. a cute flowy cropped top would be perfect with a maxi skirt and a nice headwrap. 

Crochet and lace crop top: F21, $7.80

Tribal crop top: F21 and Forever21.com, $9.80

I admit that I wasn't a big fan of the two piece sets until I laid eyes on this one. The cut of the top and the skirt are gorgeous and the print is to die for. This is a great look for a casual day of shopping by pairing it with a cute pair of wedges, or it can be great for a night dinner date by adding a pair of pumps and a blazer.
