Animal Jewelry

Animal Jewelry is HUGE right now and I spent hours last night obsessing over some Hanna Bernhard pieces I would give my left arm for.

Then I switched over to Forever 21's site to get a quick glance at what they had to offer in the trend.
Now obviously, these pieces are not one-of-a-kind, but they are great for the price. Mix and match these long necklaces- they're so affordable that you'll be able to get as many as you can get your hands on!

Here's a few of my favorites! (I became pretty obsessed with all the elephants they had to offer and am throwing in some non-animal pieces to give examples of what to mix them with!)

These range in price from $4.80-$7.80! Can you get a better deal than that? Can't wait to get my hands on them!

Check these and more out at Forever21.com!

Shop with me

Hello Everyone!

I made a few recent purchases and thought I would share them with you!

I have been obsessing over these shorts for weeks now and finally ordered them! Can't wait for them to show up on my doorstep!

White Sandals- perfect for spring and summer

 And.. a basic white V Neck tee perfect for pairing with the shorts.

 So.. nothing earth-shattering.. but when you're on a budget like me make sure to look for pieces that you'll get the most use out of. I live in Florida, where it gets unbelievably hot from now until November so I know that these simple pieces will work great throughout the year!

Happy shopping!

braid it baby

So as the weeks go by, it's getting hotter and hotter ..and that long hair that took you two winters to grow out is suddenly becoming quite the burden.

Solution: the classic braid, done your way.
It never gets old, and there's always a way to reinvent the style!

Here's a look at some simple braids to inspire your everyday summer look!

Update (5/2/10): I noticed a couple of you mentioned having layers, I know how you feel. My hair has grown a lot since I had layers put in but I still have the issue of falling hair when I do a side braid. You really have to get comfortable with bobby pins (they're a must when you have layers) and remembering that braids are not perfect! They tend to look better when they're a little messy! Hope that helps!

mini purchase

I was shopping online for Mother's Day, and got a few things for myself, from Forever 21.

I am constantly amazed at their prices on jewelry and now they sell accessories like nail polish, score.
So I picked out a couple great nude colors and an awesome connector ring.

freakin' adorable

I've been going through a brief owl obsession lately and happened to see these in a magazine.. Seriously?? They're amazing. I must have one.
Constructed out of leather, the bags come in different sizes, colors and very reasonable prices. Check them out at patinastores.com! 

Printed Pants

The printed pant has arrived... There's a print for everyone and a designer for everyone. This trend is being shown in a skinny cut or loose fit. They're a great option for spring!
