Favorite Summer Trend

I love this time of year because it's the time for summer shopping. One of my absolute favorite stores is Tilly's. It has something for everyone and it's really not that expensive. Every single time I go in there I end up spending hundreds of dollars and it's totally not my fault. I just can't pass up a cute outfit with out buying it. Yesterday I was there I think I went a little overboard. If you've been there lately you would have seen the huge wall of different high waisted skirts they had.

I love skirts and anything patterned. These are totally my style. I have a ton of high waisted shorts for this summer but I think these skirts will add something great to my summer wardrobe. As I said I went overboard and these 8 are the ones a bought. But these aren't all of them, they have so many more.

I was trying to figure out what to pair them with so I just bought a bunch of cute and different crop tops from Tilly's as well. This is one example that I actually saw paired together on the website. 

I think this is so cute and could absolutely work for anyone. This is totally my style and I am super excited to try out my summer wardrobe. I would definitely where these new outfits to the movies, bowling, a party, or even just hanging out with my friends. As always I would highly recommend this look to all of you. I really hope you go and try it out!

XOXO, Gossip Girl

So I'm an average teenager and that means one thing. I love Netflix. I have to admit that I might have a serious problem. Every free second I have I spend it watching Netflix and I'm totally addicted. Movies are amazing but I honestly would prefer to watch TV shows. It takes a super long time to get caught up on it but it's fun. Recently I've been a complete fan girl over Gossip Girl.

This show is literally so amazing and I can't get over it. Basically it's about life on the upper east side. If you're into shows like Pretty Little Liars, Vampire Diaries, Carrie Diaries, Make it or Break, or other things like that, then this is definitely the show for you. It is totally intense and everything that happens is unpredictable. If you haven't watched this show there are 6 seasons which are all on Netflix and I would absolutely recommend it! 

PS... If you don't have a Netflix and you don't want to spend the money, with my experience the best websites to stream shows and movies for free are Megashare and Putlocker. ♡

Pick of the Week: Mac Angel Lipstick

My pick this week is Mac Cosmetics' Angel lipstick!

This lipstick is ideal for me because it's the perfect amount of bold and tame. Angel is apart of the Frost collection and normally I'm not a fan of them. I feel like the Frost collection lipsticks can often be heavy or unattractive for everyday looks. This one however is gorgeous! It is more pink than a nude but it's not too flashy. It goes on super clean and pigmented like most Mac lipsticks. I know Mac can be very expensive but at the same time I feel like it's totally worth the money. However, if you can't find room for this lipstick in your budget, a good dupe would be Revlon Primrose. The colors and finishes are very similar but as I said Angel is totally worth the extra money.

BEST APP EVER!

This week I found this amazing new app and I just had to share it. It's called Imagoo

This app is so incredible because you basically get money for your opinions. It's quick, easy, and totally addicting. I heard my friend raving about it and at first I didn't want to try it. After a while I gave in and downloaded it. Best choice i've ever made! This app is basically my life. It's available on all smart phones and its completely FREE!  Here's how it works: 

You go through your feed and just share what you think. You can like or unlike pictures, rate pictures, or even choose between two items in a challenge. Not only can you do that but you can also upload your own pictures or create your own challenges. For every each of these things you get a point. After collecting multiple points (which are super quick to obtain) you can trade them in for rewards. 

Rewards include EOS, Tshirts, and best of all: GIFT CARDS! There are so many options including Target, Walmart, Amazon, iTunes, Best Buy, and Starbucks. Unlike a lot of apps that say they can do this, it actually works. I have already gotten 2 for Starbucks, 1 for Amazon, and 1 for iTunes. They have you choose to either send you the gift card code to your email or they can mail you the actual card. This app is amazing as I've said so many times. I'm completely obsessed! Whoever came up with this is an absolute genius. 

After my evaluation I give this a full 5 star rating and say that it is an absolute must have app for everyone!

Tanning!

Okay I don't know about you but I love tanning. It's something I look forward to every year. When summer comes around the first thing I do is throw on a bikini and get my tan on. Maybe that's because I'm super white, but I also just love the feeling of the sunlight soaking into my skin. I wish it wasn't so hot in Vegas, but when I'm on vacation to Maui or LA I will literally sit in the sun for hours. Anyways, here's some of my tips and tricks an amazing summer tan!

1. Bikini
The bikini is everything. You need to decide which style of bikini you will be wearing all summer long or your tan lines just aren't going to match up. Two things I hate: When you can see a girls tan lines, and when they wear the same bikini all summer. That is easily fixed. One thing I normally try to do is buy the same style of bikini. That way you can change it up but at the same time make sure those horrible tan lines are covered. If you're trying this then I would recommend a Victoria's Secret style because they have various designs for each of their styles. Another thing you could do if you are indecisive like me and can't commit to one style of bikini, just wear a super small strapless bikini when tanning so you have very minimal tan lines. I know a lot of people like to tan nude, but I definitely don't. I mean I'm not going to judge if you do. It probably get's rid of a ton of tanning problems but I just don't think it works well for me. Call me crazy but it kind of seems weird to lay outside naked. #truth

Here's some bikini's I would recommend:

This halter style top from Victoria's Secret is probably one of my favorites. I would highly recommend buying at least one of these this season. (I have 6 already #shopaholic) Also if you are looking to buy multiple designs in the same style this has some great options. From what I see on the Victoria's secret website there are 21 designs for this style. Shopping online can help a lot when looking for specific bikinis. 

The bombshell's are also a great choice from Victoria's Secret when looking for multiple bikinis with the same style. I absolutely love these because they are so cute and comfortable at the same time. The straps are removable so it's a good idea for tanning. the bottoms and back leave very minimum tan lines which I love. 

When in doubt always go for a bandeau bikini like this fabulous one from Victoria's Secret. I like this one because unlike most bandeaus the back of the top is very thin therefore leaves smaller tan lines to worry about. 

These are just some options and if you can't afford a Victoria's Secret bikini this year there are many more options that are similar and very inexpensive. However I do recommend if you can fit it into your budget you definitely should. It is completely worth the investment. 

2. Tanning Oil 

I am not the biggest fan of tanning oil because I feel like it never works as well as it should. I've tried so many different kinds and none of them give me the result I want them to. When I was about to give up on the thought my friend introduced me to mineral oil. Mineral oil can be found at any local grocery or drug store for super cheep and it happens to be the first ingredient in all Tanning oils. Mineral oil works so amazingly and will give anyone the perfect summer tan they are looking for. 

I hope you all enjoyed these tips and please let me know if you would like more tanning tips this summer! Happy Tanning!! 

Love always,

Pick of the Week: OPI you don't know Jacques!

So my pick this week is definitely OPI's "you don't know Jacques!".

http://taylorshocks.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/opi_you-dont-know-jacques.jpg

So first of all can we all just take a second and recognize the fact that OPI has the best nail polish names ever. I just love them so much! Now back to business. I just love this color. I am normally a huge girly girl who loves bright fun colors, but this is definitely an exception. I could wear this color all day everyday. The finish is just so perfect and it has such a beautiful rich look to it. Since it's almost summer I really wanted to choose a color this week that was a little more wintery to get it out of my system. When I came across this color I was positive this would be it. A few years ago I was so obsessed with this color and I totally forgot about it. I think 'you don't know Jacques!' will always be one of my favorites.

Closet Theory

Okay so here's my closet theory. My mom is always freaking yelling at me for having so many clothes. But I mean, what if I throw something away and then someday I need that exact thing that I don't have anymore. That sounds like a lame excuse but in reality it's totally plausible. Think of it this way. I go to so many themed events and parties that it's unhealthy. I feel like at least once a week I have to dress up for something. What if I throw out my only plaid shirt (Because I think plaid should seriously not exist. Ew.) and then the next week I get invited to a western party?! That would suck! I would have to buy a new one. And I would be so pissed off if I had to spend good money on something so useless. Not that I would be bankrupt from a shirt, but I shouldn't have to buy one if I already have a perfectly good one.

I really don't think it's a crime to love clothes. After all, isn't shopping good for the economy? Either way, I feel like clothes have memories. They aren't just material things to me. Every piece of clothing I own has a story. I remember when and where I wore it. Some are good memories, some are bad, but I still think both are important. Bad memories teach valuable lessons and good memories give motivation. How could anyone expect me to throw those away?
