Crop Tops & Floral Pants



Good afternoon everyone!!!!

Here's a quick little post!!! It's officially spring and the top style trend for the season is FLORALS!!! Anyone can wear this look, the key is the size of the floral pattern.  For petite ladies, the bigger floral pattern the better, and for the curvier ladies, you want to lean more towards the smaller (not so distracting) patterns.

Here are some stores that have different styles of affordable floral pants/leggings.

1. H&M
2.  Zara

For spring, I am wearing the heck out of crop tops (this is the style that I'm going for spring & summer).  I think they are fun to dress up and dress down.  

Here are some stores that have different styles of affordable crop tanks/tops


Hope you all have a beautiful day!!!

Pants and Jeans For Ladies With Long Legs

 Pants: Ann Taylor Top: H&M
 
 Light Blue Jeans: WeSC
 Cargo Pants: Gap
Black Jeans: Gap

Good afternoon lovely readers! 
I'm so excited that I get to take sometime out of my chaotic schedule to post another blog! As you can tell, pants are the focal point.  Being 5'9" and having super long legs, it is EXTREMELY difficult to find jeans/pants etc. that fit my shape and that are long enough for my legs. Whenever I do find a pair that fit me (rare), I buy them right then and there, no questions asked.  So to make it easier for my long legged ladies out there, I listed a few great brands that I love and that hopefully work for you! Feel free to share other brands that have variety and provide long inseams to the beautiful tall women!

For all the above (style, fit, length, color) go with 1. BDG Urban Outfitters - My favorite brand for AMAZING jeans!!! I love the denim, the colors, the fit the LENGTH and the variety they have to offer. 

For classic denim go with 2. Gap  - Both their pants and jeans have an awesome fit and length.

For stretchy denim go with 3. Levi's -  Great fit for my curvy girls with height (I'm wearing my pair right now, super comfortable) They also came out with the curve i.d....I still have yet to try on a pair, but when I do, I will definitely do a review and see what they have to offer.

For colors and length go with 4. WeSC - This is my first time purchasing this brand and when I tried on a pair I fell in love.  The denim is great quality and they had some super cute colors.  I received so many compliments on my light baby blue jeans.

See me in Seattle

 We walked everywhere in Seattle!!! I love the random little man on the wall with the street light in his hand.
 Space Needle
 Day and Night on Space Needle
 My hat almost flew off and my hands were frozen SUPER COLD weather!!!
 I feasted like a queen. If I was there any longer I would have came back as a little chunksters.
 Pike Place Market
The original Starbucks...went in there twice, once for a Chai Latte, the other for a Refresh :)

Hello beautiful readers!!! 
Forgive me for not posting last week...I had the opportunity to go to Seattle, Washington for a journalism convention for four days, and the time I did have for posting went all to exploring Seattle.  So for not keeping you up to date, expect a post every other day for this week :) More about my trip...Seattle is such an amazing city and I cannot wait to go back!!! I would love to move their at some point of my life, not long term though, I'm to much of a California girl :)  The shopping, the food (OMGGGGG), the sites...dare I say it...I think it's better then San Francisco....but in different ways (it's cleaner too) Describing Seattle in this post will not do it any justice...you need to experience Seattle in order to get what I am talking about. But anyways...I wish I had a handful of fashion photos from Seattle to show you, but it was FREEZING up there, and quite frankly, I chose comfort over style.  I am extremely surpised and oh so proud to say that I did not go on a shopping spree out there.  Partly because I packed small and didn't want to buy another suitcase and also because I went on a shopping spree prior to my departure for California (Watch out for the haul post) But like I said, Seattle is quite an experience and I can't wait to make another trip up there soon....I hope you enjoy a few of my photos and expect a haul post, shots for Bay Area Fashion, and a beauty review this week!!!
