Transitions

(Simple Fall Transition Look For Me: Docs, Thrifted Skirt & H&M Sweater -- inspired by Beauty Crush)

The past two weeks have been...interesting.  Transitioning is hard, but trying not to purchase fabulous fall pieces that are borderline out of my budget is even harder.

Casual Saturday



Trying to adjust to the summer's slightly uncomfortable heat has been a difficult since I have been spoiled with the air conditioning at work....However, I was ecstatic to wear my Levi's peek-a-boo pockets shorts paired with a yellow H&M belt and a make-up free face :) These shots were taken in the morning hence why I was wearing my new sweater that I am so in love with....speaking of being in love....MY SHOES!!!! I received all my shoes and I am pleased with my new leather booties and sneakers :) I'm thinking about posting up another post....possibly on Sunday, so be back soon!

Mix & Match in the Rain

Good afternoon beauties!

Excuse the horrible lighting and the not so great photos...I had a mini photo-shoot in the rain this morning :) This post is in regards to Saturday's post on recycling pieces and getting creative. Here are a few different looks with the same skirts...yes skirts.  If you look at the photo above, the skirt to the right which is a body hugging (Papaya) skirt is under the pleated skirt to the left (Thrifted).  The reason for layering up the skirts is because the skirt to the left is sheer and has no lining, so instead of adding the lining, I decided to improvise while being able to play around with the different lengths underneath. I think every other week I'm going to post different looks around one item, so let me know what item you want to see next for next week :)

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.

Half of my NYE outfit & Some Christmas Gifts

Part of my NYE outfit designed by my grandmother

Christmas gift: Light gray raincoat: H&M

Christmas Gift: ACDC t-shirt & black jeggings

Shoes: Forever21-- Makeup: Loreal Mascara -- Eyeliner: E.L.F. -- Mineral Powder: Bare Escentuals

Random photo at my favorite grocery store Whole Foods :)

Christmas Gift: Chocolate stick to make hot chocolate yum yum yum!

Christmas gift: Body Shop -- Tangerine

Like I said in my last post, slowly but surely, I will post all my gifts up for you beautiful readers to see.  Here are some of my Christmas gifts that I used today :) I adore my new raincoat!!!! I have received so many compliments on it! I was in dire need of a light neutral coat since I'm so drawn to black, but this particular style is great with leggings and a sweater and works fabulous with a dress. I received a lot of shirts and sweaters for Christmas, but I will always be a t-shirts girl. Whenever I'm out running errands, I love being comfortable. I did my grocery shopping at Whole foods and threw on this ACDC shirt with my black jeggings and cheetah boots (& my gray sweater).  Next photo, my chocolate sticks! I'm not so much of a hot chocolate girl, but the dark chocolate sticks are super yummy and not overly sweet.  But!!! What is sweet is my Body shop lotion and show gel yum yum yum!!! I LOVE their body butter!!! A little goes a long way and all of their scents are so delicious!!! Now the best for last....my NYE skirt :) I had left over fabric and my grandmother decided to create this fun skirt for me.  I'm not sure what type of top I'm going to wear, but I will definitely have pictures up with the final piece.  Well I hope you all are doing great!!! I really hope it rains today :)
