There is nothing worse than wasting an outfit! Case in point, I wore this cute ensemble two weeks ago and basically took a drive to hang out indoors. What type of life is this? This is definitely going in my … Continue reading

Tiger Print Bodysuit-OOTN
Fourth of July has come and gone and with it came a night of celebrating and enjoying a night out on the town. Forever 21 has always been a staple go-to place for on trend affordable outfits for the masses. Once again they did not fail me for this weekend holiday as I did manage to snag this awesome tiger print bodysuit a couple of weeks ago. (still available on the site!) This lightweight bodysuit features a scoop neckline, back and snap button closure. It is incredibly soft! Throw it on with some jeans and a leather jacket for an edgy look, or keep it light and fun as I did for those summer night outs. I paired it with one of my favorite thrifted high waist shorts, red Mary-Jane style pumps from target and a clutch that actually came with Sonia Kashuk brushes (also from target-old season). Ladies please do not forget your Band-Aids/blister guards if you haven’t worn your shoes too many times! I learned this the hard way as I am now recovering from wearing them the entire night. All in all I had a great time watching the night sky light up and I loved the comfort of the outfit.
Cons
-If your not a fan of panty lines, this bodysuit is not a thong and may show up depending on the material you are wearing over it (my jeans weren’t too bad)
-The accessibility of using the restroom often while having a “night out” was compromised by having a bodysuit on. The snap button closure did help some.
For only $12.80 I don’t think a simple summer night outfit could get any better. Hope everyone enjoyed the holiday!

Simple & Cute D.I.Y Sweater
As most of you may know I am a sucker for all things target and especially their clearance (as most normal girls are). I have found the most amazing things ever on sale! exhibit A: These purple sweaters! I bought these a while ago (one for me and one for my sister) and have been holding on to them for a while in order to find some materials and inspiration to jazz them up. These Hanes pullover fleece lined sweaters were marked down to an incredible $2.00! Although it is warm in Fl, feeling cozy with a cute sweater (even at home with central AC) is always a must. I decided to go for gold studs to add a little bit of interest to the plain staple pieces. Silver or even Black spikes/studs would have worked as well!
Plain Purple Hanes Fleece Lined Pullover
I purchased a set of 100 gold rivet studs from eBay. They are available in many different colors and styles (spikes, flat tops, round or even star-shaped!) Try watching multiple listings at once to be able to get the best deal on a value pack. They can also be purchased at any craft/fabric store (I found silver ones at Hobby Lobby) but not for wholesale.
Gold Studs
I eyeballed the placement of the studs around the collar (feel free to measure if you want a perfect distance between each stud). I like the fact that they are a little bit uneven in the spacing, I feel it gives it a little character. After you have an idea of where each stud should go, individually stick the prongs face down directly into the fabric (avoid seams as those tend to be thick and hard to push through).
It should look like this in the back of your garment.
Then grab some tweezers and push each prong down and inward (as to not poke yourself with them when you put the item on). Make sure it’s completely down and smooth so it wont budge with washing.
Row Completely Finished
I chose to add some on my sleeve as well to make for a more interesting piece.
Final Product!
And their you have it folks! A pain stakenly easy tutorial. I am going to be studding everything and anything I own now (D.I.Y shorts coming soon). Two awesome sweaters for under $10.00…cant beat that!

What happens in Vegas……
Just got back from LAS VEGAS, Nevada!!!! I went this past weekend with a group of friends and the boo thang for a lovely weekend of fun, partying and living it up! The original plan was to blog outfit post as I was there but with a combination of high wifi rates and my physical state not being up to par I chose to save it for a time when my thoughts were less fuzzy. I stayed for a total of 4 days and was able to put together some epic looks that Im really excited about. Lets start off with a bang…My sexy catsuit from love culture! Their are no words for how this thing made me feel. It hugged you in close, and was revealing enough to be sexy but not so much that it was vulgar due to the high neck collar and length of the pants. The curvature and placement of the mesh is positioned to give the illusion of a smaller waist to hip ratio (which works in my favor!).The royal blue complimented my skin tone and of course the sheer vertical mesh up each leg (reaching my waist) was just the Vegas oophm that I needed. Needless to say I received so many compliments from both males and females. We went to Pure Nightclub and I danced the night away to west coast gangster rap/twerkin songs that I never heard of and had an amazing time showing off my sexy attire.
Go check this catsuit out if you want to feel extra special one night!
-Stay tuned for more of my looks in Las Vegas,

Casual & Chic
On this lovely saturday morning I plan to sleep in and indulge in all things “bad” for me. Since Im not going anywhere special I opted for my version of a “casual” look. I have been dying to wear these heels anywhere, even now to walmart! My basic v-neck white long sleeve shirt is from target while the denim vest was purchased at old navy. The olive cargos are ridiculously old (you can ask my sister)…I think Ive had them since the 8th grade! Im not sure if I should be admitting that on here but hey..what can you do? I found some similar versions below. Lastly my leopard and gold hardware heels are from forever 21. They are super comfortable despite their “edgy” look.
Have a lovely saturday babes!
