Trenches and Knee High Boots For The Win

It's finally getting cold around Atlanta, so I'm posting a quick OOTD to keep everyone happy!

Mickey, Minnie, and a Trampoline

Around her at The Style Selections, we like to have fun!! So when I saw that my friend who helped me with my portfolio had a trampoline in her backyard, I knew that I had to take pictures for a post on it. 

Coat - Topshop Boutique (S/O, similar here) | Crop - Forever 21 (S/O, similar here) | Leggings - Vintage (similar here)  As you can see above, I obviously had tons of laughs during this shoot! I got lots done this day and I can't wait to show you all my final portfolio!  Have a great Christmas break if you're off and if you have exams, may the odds be ever in your favor!

My Christmas Vinted Wishlist

Christmas is right around the corner and I can't believe how fast the year has flown! In the spirit of giving, I thought I'd share with you all my Vinted wishlist! If you don't remember, I talked about the fabulous clothes re-selling app a bit ago on my Tech Tuesdays and now I'm back to share with you all the joys of what I may be buying off of there in the Christmas age! 

For those of who have been following me for a while, you know that I'm obsessed with many things, jumpsuits being at the top of my list. If you didn't know, now you do know! I love them because I can always dress them up or down depending on my mood and they are super easy to travel with! My dream for this Christmas is to get loads of jumpsuits, so I've scoured the Vinted site and app to find my favourites out of the thousands available! I'm linking you to them in my writeup of what my choices are and why, so if you find something and fall in love, GO GET IT! 

The first 5 are all similar, dungarees/overalls what ever you want to call them. The majority of the ones on my list are denim of course, but I've also added some others for variety!

I'm going to explain my choices left to right, so first up is the denim pair on the end! The price drew me to these. Before I tell you how much they are, can I just talk about how great they are? Cute, good condition, classic cut. And best part? They cost $5. $5! No kidding!! You can find them here to verify my statement, but I swear I'm not pulling your leg! The second pair are just a simple pair of light wash denim overalls. They're $12 on Vinted which is alot better than you may find them for at a vintage store! Find them here if you like! My third choice is from Wet Seal and these are actually acid washed denim! I don't own much acid washed denim, but these are great and I can wear them so much once it heats up! They're available here in a size 4 for $18 if you click here! The fourth pair is from Bebe and if you want to try and buy them before me (they're great so I wouldn't blame you), you can find them in a size 8 for $32.50 by clicking here! The last pair is from Wet Seal also and the person is selling these GORGEOUS floral dungarees for $15! Who doesn't love cheap clothes, but also adorable cheap clothes?! You can find them by clicking here! x

The second part of my wishlist is full of colorful jumpsuits that aren't in the overall/dungaree cut. I really enjoy jumpsuits because they are so versatile and the ones below are just that!

Again, left to right, so first up is the beautiful purple one on the end! Okay so you know that fabulous English brand Motel Rocks? Well this is Motel Rocks and gorgeous and $25.50 and satin and UGHH! Can you tell how in love I am? It's a great price and fabulous romper so if you want it, click here and grab it before I do! The second one is from Jantzen and it's more of something that I would wear on vacation than everyday or on a night out. The deep V is so sexy and it's backless and all summer I'm going to be showing off (what I hope will be) my toned back. It's the fabulous price of $6.40 so click here to find more! From the picture above you can tell that you're about to be hit with florals for the next 2! The third romper is from Mimi Chica and is so cute! It's something to wear when it's warmer obviously, or if you're daring, with tights, ankle boots and a sweater in the cooler months! It's very cute and available for only $10, so I'd recommend it!! The fourth pair is another from Motel Rocks that is available for a fabulous price! It only costs $8 and is in a size 8, and is available here! The last one is perfect for the Christmas season! It's already a dressier romper and the peplum detailing will make it  look fab on any body type!! You can find it here for $8.70 (which is a fabulous price!) x

We're almost at the end of my wishlist so I thought I'd end it with a couple classic long jumpsuits! 

The first of the jumpsuits you see above is in this beautiful turquoise fabric that will look beautiful on vacation somewhere tropical! It's simple and pretty and can be found here for $6! For the second one, even though the belt doesn't come with it (insert crying emoji), I really love this jumpsuit and it's cut! It's classic and gorgeous and I can buy my own belt and recreate the look!! You can find it right here for $15! I love elephants, which is why I picked my third jumpsuit! It's got an elephant pattern on the bottom which is really nice and a simple halter top! It's great and has an awesome print so why wouldn't I love it?! If you like it as much as I do, find it here for $15! Just as much as I love jumpsuits is my love for biker jackets and the fourth jumpsuit combines both and gives me so much life! It's not leather but is an awesome jersey fabric! Guess makes amazing clothes and this jumpsuit is no different! It's only $25 which is such a steal! But remember, my paycheck comes in about a week, so you'd better get it here and fast! So for my final jumpsuit, I've brought to your attention another simple spaghetti strap one, and this one comes with a really cool pattern on it! It's only $19 and comes in a size 4, so check it out here! 

Well this is the end of my Vinted Christmas wishlist! You've become witnesses to my jumpsuit obsession so if I start putting a million jumpsuits up on the blog, don't act surprised!! I hope you enjoyed and if you're interested to see what I'm selling, pop on over to my Vinted store here and find it all! x

Parental Advisory FYI

I recently did a photoshoot with my friend so I've got exciting things to share!! I'm finally back with outfit posts! I took a bunch of pictures so I've got enough to balance outfits, videos, and other things for you all until my finals are over! So starting it off is my new favourite jumper that I got a bit ago from Sheinside. It's a fabulous knockoff to the Alexander Wang one that would cost me a pretty penny and I LOVE it!

New (Fashion) Bits : My Beautiful Wolfhardt Clutch

Sometimes as a blogger, you have to find new ways to make connections. I recently got in contact with a German company named Wolfhardt and I don't regret my reaching out to them. They were beyond nice to me and plus, they gifted me this GORGEOUS clutch!!! 

InstaOOTD: Fall Shopping

Just a quick InstaOOTD to tie you all over for today!! 

I went shopping with a friend a little bit ago, and I was so happy to find my new favourite (almost) all black F/W staple outfit! Everything in this ensemble is so comfy, so you'll definitely see these often!

Cozy & Comfy in my OnePiece Onesie

During the fall/winter, I think I can get a bit of sympathy for not dressing up all the time. It can get really really cold in Atlanta (nothing compared to in the Northeast, best wishes for this season, you troopers), so I got well prepared this summer for the fall/winter season. I bought myself a OnePiece onesie offline, and OH MY GOSH, it's the most comfortable thing that I've bought in my shopping career! 

Topshop Acid Floral Dress

Ahh France I miss you!! I absolutely love it there and I can't wait to go back!! Rouen was so gorgeous and the weather was great,on top of the great time I'd had travelling! I wore this amazing Topshop cutout floral dress, and I love how the cutouts hit and how it hugs my body and how it looks!

Flash Much?

Dim lighting calls for extreme circumstances, and in these photos....a little flash was needed. These were taken RIGHT after I got my Rebel, so I didn't know how to explain the new flash to my friend...With a teensy bit of light editing, I think they turned out alright for a first time!! 

Flashback Friday to the best Friday of the Year

Ahh yay the blog is back!! Sorry about yesterday's technical difficulties, but I'm back and better than ever!

Flashback Fridays are big for me, I love just looking back at my life and picking one of my favourite moments that I want to share with you all! I never did post this, so I thought now would be a GREAT time to post about my 4th of July! As you know if you follow me on IG, you may know that I spent the week at the beach! I didn't take pictures much, in order to avoid getting sand EVERYWHERE, which happened anyway. I had my hair in a very new and weird style for me, cornrows, and I've changed back to my normal braids so don't worry! 

Livin' It a Bit Polka Dotty

6 Pairs of Sunglasses Every Woman Should Have

There are certain essentials that should be present in every woman's life, or most at least. The great thing about sunglasses is that they can be worn anytime of year, not just in the heat of the summer! There are different sunglasses for different outfits, events, people, etc. and now I'm giving you all my guide to the sunnies of the world. 

Topshop's Spider Floral Jumpsuit

Living Life to the Maxi

I saw this dress at Topshop last year, saw the price and immediately snatched it up! It was on same during one of the mega sales that Nordstrom has (one of which is going on right now), and that gave me the incentive to buy it! I was planning on wearing this to my cousin's wedding, because being the pre-planner I am, I planned a year early, but I was asked to help in the wedding! This dress has been in my closet and I've been dying to take it down and pop it on! The cutout is so lovely and it shows just enough skin, and the v neck isn't too deep that everything is hanging out! The fabric is super light, so I was able to stay cool in the Georgia heat while taking these pictures!!

Trend Lowdown: High-Waisted Bikinis

Its summertime again, which means you're breaking out those bikinis again ladies!! But what if :

a) you aren't super comfortable with your body image (which you shouldn't be because every body is BEAUTIFUL, so cross this off your reasons why not to wear a bikini list. Anyone can wear one)

b) you don't like bikinis

c) your old one is old and worn, and its time for a new one

d) you just want a new bikini

e) you're having severe nostalgia back to the 1970's 

well you're in luck. High waisted bikinis are in style and ready to rock the beaches this year!!

A Little Alexander McQueen Never Hurt Anybody

So earlier this week, I put up a post about how I went to Fashion's Distinction, and I just wanted to make a quick post and show what I wore to the event!!

Shoes - Ivanka Trump

Once Upon A Time There Was a Prom Night in Atlanta...and it was Done Gatsby Style

It began with a box. A brown box with Rent The Runway stamped on it to be exact. I'd just gotten my nails prepped and I was ready to open the bow and see my prom dress. I'd tried it on once in the RTR shop in Bergdorfs in NYC, and trying this dress on was the reason I chose it! I had to wait 3 weeks until I actually saw the dress again, so picking shoes and jewelry was pretty blind, yet it turned out all to be perfect!! I love the inside of the box, and the phrase on the inside "The dress is just the beginning," because, yes, it really was. 

A Pre-Weekend Preview : Fashion's Distinction

A few months ago, I bought a tickets for Fashion's Distinction, a new event being hosted in Atlanta. You don't see many events in Atlanta outside of the small Fashion Week, so when I saw this opportunity, I immediately bought a ticket! The title of the event this year is “What Set’s You Apart” and I think this is the PERFECT name for a fashion event!! We all have things that set us apart from each other, and fashion is a biggie!! 

Shh. I've got Keds News for You!!

Keds has an awesome new opportunity for any fashionable lady, but don't let the news out yet!!
