Rompers!

Hello!
Summer is fast approaching and skin is showing! One of my fav summer staples is a romper. They are super low maintenance and easy to wear. Plus, only having on one piece of clothing is cheaper and easy to throw on. Rompers you just add cute shoes and accessories and you're set to go. They're super cute and chic! Another plus is the variety. You can have halters, short sleeve, tank, tube, ect. Personally, I love how easy they are. I'll put on a romper, flats, big bag, and maybe a sweater with fab accessory and be on my way. Or even put on heels, accessory, and clutch. Versatile.. Fab!
This romper goes for $147. The black romper is always chic and is like your LBD in romper form. I love the cutouts in this. Plus the zipper up the back gives it an edgy vibe. Cutouts are very trendy now along with zippers. You give a little peek of skin but are still covered. Wear this with tights and boots or even heels and leather jacket to give it the sexy edgy.

This Victoria Secret romper is on sale for $39.50. This is a more affordable romper. It is a little more slouchy and comfy so it's perfect for a bathing suit covered up. The front zipper can be pulled down if you have a tube top or bathing suit top on. Cute, affordable, and a perfect coverup!

This romper goes for $49. They show it in red and I love that the best but it comes in polka dot and black. I love how it's strapless and you can show off your top.

Monrow romper is on sale for $110. Love how this romper looks like a T-shirt and shorts but is really one piece. The deep V shows off the cleavage and the detail along the edge draws you in. The shorts have a detail along side seam and a little bow on end to keep it girly. This blue color is amazing as well, especially on dark or really pale skin.

This Lover romper goes for $407. It is another "I die" romper. It is simple and elegant with great, crisp seaming. The thing I love the most about it is the tailoring.

This Thakoon romper goes for $720. This is an "I die" piece. This blush color will look fab on tan or darker skin tones. There is a floral/ lace detail that adds a girly feel.

Short dresses!

Hello!
I was invited to a Sweet Sixteen and got the idea to look at dresses. These dresses can be used for cocktail hour, parties, or going out on the town. The first thought when invited to these events is, "what am I going to wear??". After is the fear and panic that you have nothing to wear! The problem with these dresses is that you need a dress that doesn't look cheap and that'll look good on you (without being slutty!). I went a little overboard and looked for luxury dresses that I wish I could have. These are to die for dresses that any girl would love to wear. They're perfect for parties, going out, and even prom! To die for dresses! There were so many more but I had stop drooling at some point!

This dress is fom HM and is $49.50. This dress is super cute and affordable. This shade of pink will look good on any skin color. Another plus is the rushing which will make you look skinnier. The small V can give a touch of cleavage and add a va-va-voom effect. This is perfect for parties, date night, or going out with the girls!
http://www.hm.com/us/product/82132?article=82132-B

Another HM dress that is £34.99. It is from the UK and not sold in America unfortunately. I love this pink powder color and the girly vibe. The ruffles along with flower on one side is super chic. Pair this with heels or even some tights and you're ready to party or go out!
http://www.hm.com/gb/product/82988?article=82988-A

Another UK HM dress that is £34.99. This dress is super chic and classy. The huge shoulder detail is so Sex and the City. The lace detail is a hot trend and too! Love the color and doesn't make the lace look tacky. This will make the boys at a party drool and the girls jealous
                                  http://www.hm.com/gb/product/82988?article=82988-A


UK HM dress for €29.99. The skirt is flowy which is perfect for dancing and there isn't to much fabric so you won't ruin the dress sweating. The Vneck is super sexy and the option to have the dress in powder beige or grey is a plus! (Personally like the powder beige better). Love it
http://www.hm.com/gb/product/82103?article=82103-A#article=82103-A

This Notte by Marchesa is an 'I Die' dress. It retails for $695 and comes in blush (pic) and plum. I personally love the plum but this dress is gorgeous. The one shoulder with the flower detail and cascading detail from the shoulder is mystical. It has drama but has a simplicity to it. Plus, who doesn't love Marchesa??

This is the perfect dress by Notte by Marchesa. It is $795 and comes in platinum (shown), hot pink, and black. I love the platinum since it shows all the details and I'm dying over this dress. The flower belt in the middle synchs you in and the ruffles make you look skinny and lean. This is the perfect dress and I really wish I had it. It is the perfect prom dress, party dress, and every occasion. Dress it down with flats or turn it into a red carpet event with sky high heels.

This Asos dress goes for $80.69. This is a more affordable dress and is a "knockoff" from some of the designer gowns I found. I love the one shoulder and rushing to the side. The pearl belt adds a nice touch and synchs in the waist. It has a Grecian goddess feel can be worn with gladiators to a date or heels to a party.

This Lipsy is $111.17. This pink is a very pretty shade and will look great on darker skin. The tiered skirt can take away from larger hips or thighs. The rushed along with boobs can draw a nice emphasis to the 'girls' and the middle pearls adds a nice detail. It is a more simple dress but is sweet and simple.

There are some drool worthy pieces I found while browsing online. My, do I have a taste for design dresses!! You can never go wrong with one expensive dress that you'll get a ton o use for. These dresses may just be for special occasions but dress it down and you can wear it for a hot date, cocktail hour, or out on the town with the girls. These dresses can be worn with platform heels or even flats. Just remember don't go for the cheap, tacky material! Make it classy, all the boys will be staring in these stunning numbers!

2011 Swimsuit season!!

Hello!
Swimsuit season is fast approaching! *Yikes!* Swimsuit season is a love hate relationship. You may hate how your body looks in your suit or maybe you just love summer and being able to be able to shed some layers. Being in a swim suit is just walking around in waterproof undergarments, it's exposing. We all know the ladies are looking to impress with their hot bods and skimpy layers. Your bathing suit needs to keep the goods covered yet give a good show. The cutest swimsuits I found are not what the Walmart special but are super cute and you'll have ever guy drooling over you! Anyway, you don't want a cheap suit, more chance of a wardrobe malfunction! My advice, work with what you got and be confident. Sorry girls about the photos, these girls are lookin' good but the less clothes you have on a guy will think your the next Megan Fox.
This is the Cyn and Luca polka dot bikini for $108 (both pieces). I really love this suit! It is super girly with the polka dots and ruffles but the color makes it more muted. The only problematic thing with it is the possibility of book spillage but no boy will mind! 
http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&itemCount=80&startValue=1&selectedProductColor=&sortby=&id=19983253&parentid=W_APP_SWIMWEAR&sortProperties=+subCategoryPosition,&navCount=345&navAction=jump&color=&pushId=W_APP_SWIMWEAR&popId=WOMENS&prepushId=&selectedProductSize=

This Marysia swim suit goes for $248. I love this suit! The muted cream with pink and will make you look super tan this summer. The rushing will make everything look smaller (always a plus!) and the U-neck keeps the boobs in (another plus!). This look is sexy but not over the top and the top is a tad sporty!

http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&itemCount=80&startValue=1&selectedProductColor=&sortby=&id=19973155&parentid=W_APP_SWIMWEAR&sortProperties=+subCategoryPosition,&navCount=345&navAction=jump&color=&pushId=W_APP_SWIMWEAR&popId=WOMENS&prepushId=&selectedProductSize=

 

This Billabong once piece is $110. I LOVE this cutout one piece! It is sporty and surfer girl but total chic and sexy. Another great attribute, you can wear this with skirts or pants and walk around after your swim. The vibe of this is amazing, I don't surf (barely swim) and I can wear this and pretend to be a pro and then suntan with all the boys going gaga over me.

This Martha Rey swimsuit goes for $198. I love the color of the swimsuit, the canarie yellow with the pink, green, and black. The tiger gives you a sexy animalstic feel as well. The thing I love most is the shape of the top. It's one shoulder and goes diagonal across the back with a ribbon tie. The color and shape of the top are what sold me. Personally, just buy the top and do the trendy mix-and-match with the bottoms.
http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&itemCount=80&startValue=1&selectedProductColor=&sortby=&id=20105359&parentid=W_APP_SWIMWEAR&sortProperties=+subCategoryPosition,&navCount=345&navAction=jump&color=&pushId=W_APP_SWIMWEAR&popId=WOMENS&prepushId=&selectedProductSize=

This Maaji swimsuit goes for $118 (both pieces). The top is similar to the swimsuit above which I love. I really being able to mix it up with a print. This suit is sporty and keeps the goods in place. The print makes it edgy and unique.

This UO swimsuit is $44 for the top and $39 for the bottoms. This cream color is perfect to make your tan pop and the tiny print detail gives it a fun detail. This is an underwire top so it is perfect for the larger chested girls and the boy shorts are perfect for the girls with a JLo booty. It is simple yet sexy and looks like it should be worn under clothes!

This VPL bikini goes for $105 for the bottoms and $125 for the top. This is the ultimate sporty girl bikini. The color blocking of the neon lime green with the light brown is a burst of color but muted. The halter neck is rushed which makes the boobs look smaller and rushing is always a nice touch. We have the fake belt on the bottom which is a fun touch.

Tori Praver bikini goes for $93 for the top and $84 for the bottoms. I love the print along with the raspberry color! The bandeau has rushing and you can attach straps. Just be warned, the bottoms are more on the thong side then some would like to expose!

I am so jealous of this models body, and boobs! This Victoria Secret bikini goes for $54 for the top and $30 for the bottoms. There are a lot of different color combos for this style as well! This is the most typical, modern bikini. The underwire top is perfect for the bigger busts and the diagonal stripes are flattering on all. Plus the sequins on side are sexy!

This Diane Von Furstenberg bikini is an 'I die' piece for $230. The print is stunning along with the colors. The ruffles give it a girly vibe but the print makes it still edgy. The dip in front gives it a sexiness and a little show for the bows. The strap is removable which is nice to strut in just the bandeau top.

 This Hervé Léger swim wear is $1050!! The catch, it isn't recommended to swim in. This is still an 'I die' moment even if it is just for posing pool side. You can't get it wet and your going to get horrible tan lines but the colors are awesome and you'll look hot in it.

Here are some cute bikinis I found when the beach weather comes! There are so many different kinds from tankinis, bikinis, one piece, cutouts, push up, (non) padded. Along with the clasps from ties, buttons, snaps, rings, and removable straps. And let's not forget the designs, fabrics, and how we look in it. *Whew* Bathing suit shopping is hard work! Remember girls, you look great in everything but make sure you don't have a wardrobe malfunction. Remember you are scantily clad so strut your stuff and have confidence. Work those bathing suits this upcoming summer!
