Fashion Friday {Summer is Here}

I know some of you have a couple more weeks. But we are officially on summer vacation. Our first attempt at the pool though lasted only 45 minutes because of rain and thunder. Summer in the south right? I'm putting together a list of summer ideas to entertain us especially on those rainy days. Hopefully I will get that blogged soon. 

In the meantime what are your favorite things to do in the summer?

Lace kimono: Agaci, Top: Target, Necklace: Forever21, Shorts: Forema Boutique

Fashion Friday {Fall In line}

Are you a Christina Aguilera fan? I've been from the beginning. I totally felt a connection with her music when I was in 6th grade. I thought to myself "Yes! Finally a girl who sings like I like to sing!" The rest is history! Now she has a new album coming out and I'm always excited about that. While I wasn't super excited about the first single. The latest "Fall in line" hits the nail on the head ya know what I mean. Talking about body image for young girls and how we were made for so much more than something to look at. I have no idea why that wasn't the first single because it is on fire! Now it's climbing the itunes top song list and I feel validated. Not sure who dropped the ball on that one. Especially nowadays with woman empowerment left and right. It boggles the mind! 

Anyway onto this weeks look.

The weather has got me feeling like fall/spring/summer all in one day and at the same time so when that happens you dress accordingly. The result is this.

P.S Yes that would be a Bluebird cafe tank from none other than my fave place Nashville. I still have yet to go there. One of these days. Also, I'm sad because Nashville the show is ending and I will miss it so much! 

Happy Friday ! 

Fashion Friday {Let's get real}

Ok, I have to confess something to you. I'm not really a shopaholic. I can actually go months without looking online at a store. I can avoid certain aisles in stores. I can actually go into Target and come out with nothing. I'm not always looking for the great deal. Usually how it happens is I get bored of what I have in my closet. Not because I love spending money. Because putting outfits together is art for me. I know I've probably said it before but it's true. Fashion is a creative outlet to me. I love pairing patterns, textures, styles. So when I feel I need a refresher I will venture out. Like getting new brushes or paint for an artist. Or new pencils and paper for a writer. So I'm not going to be posting about sales going on. I might share the awesome deals I got. Because who doesn't love a good deal. Basically! I'm not your typical fashion blogger. I like to use what I got. I like to be frugal. I have a shopping rule now. I can only buy it if I can make 3 or more outfits out of that one item. It's served me well. You have probably seen these jeans a million times over in my posts. You've definitely seen these shoes. Because I am NOT a shoe addict! This bodysuit was clearance at Forever 21 and these lace kimono was maybe $10 at Ross! If that's your type of shopping then follow along with me. Let's be creative and frugal together! 

Happy Friday!

Fashion Friday

I've been collecting a lot of books that I want to get through this summer. Are you into summer reading programs? I'm even contemplating suspending my cable for the summer. Save money and get a much needed break from the screen. Not sure how well that will go over because I am a tv junkie. But I love books!

So far on my list:

Outlander: Drums of Autumn

The Shack

Harry Potter and the cursed child

Lioness arising

Without Rival

Anymore suggestions to my list? I'm a pretty fast reader!
