Fave Five Fridays

So I have decided now on Fridays I will posting a post called "Fave Five Fridays". i will posting my favorite things of that week.I'll post things like certain stores, shoes, clothes or even songs, movies, food, ect... just random things! So, here I go!!

Fave Five Friday


1. Random (or not so random) Blogs. I like this one. And this one. And this one, and this one, and this one!! Check 'em out!!

2. Frozen Strawberry Lemonade from McDonald's. Seriously they are fantastic. Go buy yourself one right now. You deserve it.

3.Plants vs Zombies (the iPod Touch/iPhone app version) They updated it this week and it's seriously a bajillion times better, which I thought was nearly impossible!! I never want to put it down!!

4. Christina Grimmie. Her album came out on Tuesday! It's so fantabulous! Go buy it..... RIGHT NOW!!! But if don't want to buy the whole album (seriously why wouldn't you?!) AT LEAST purchase Liar Liar... It's probably the best song on the album :-)

5."Deer in the Headlights" by Owl City- Their new album also came out on Tuesday and for a limited time this song is FREE!!! Go to iTunes and then to single of the week to get it! It's a great song, but even more so because it's free!

$21 = Two Cute Striped Tops and a Teal Sweater!

So Tuesday I went shopping at the mall with a few friends. I had $26 burning a hole in my pocket and needed a few new pieces to add to my wardrobe, stat! I only spent $21 (clotheswise, I spent a dollar on a Dr. Pepper- yum!) and got two tops and a sweater.


This first shirt I bought is from Hollister. I had to go there Tuesday because they were having an up to 50% summer sale! Woo-hoo! And this one was half off $17.50! Yay sale prices!! I don't typically shop at Hollister because I'm 99% against wearing a dumb shirt that says "HOLLISTER" on it (seriously be an individual!) but I LOVE their navy and white striped shirts! They have the best ones! And it smells. So. Darn. Good. They also have pretty sweaters <3


The second top I bought is from Wet Seal! It's so baggy but in a really cute way. I bet it would look good with a big belt around the waist. I don't think I can say this enough but I LOVE STRIPED SHIRTS!!! WITH ALL MY HEAT AND SOUL! This shirt was only $10.99 and it was on the clearance rack- my favorite place in a store! The variations of this shirt came in navy stripe, pink stripe, and orange stripe- all with gray of course. But the turquoise was my very favorite :-)

My last purchase also came from Wet Seal. Guess how much I paid for it? $5? $10? $15.75? WRONG! I paid a flippin PENNY! A PENNY!! You see, their clearance rack is BOGO for a penny! Funny enough I actually featured the same sweater in my How To on color-blocking. But this is prettier cause it's in teal! You can never have enough cozy, colorful sweaters! :-)



See what happens when you shop smart? You can get so much more for less!! If all of these items were full price I would've only been able to buy ONE thing! Because I shopped smart I got three! By looking up when your favorite stores are having big sales, using coupons, shopping the clearance rack, ect.,ect... You can save quite a bit! :-)

Thinking Outside the Blocks

So today Fashionistas I'm going to teach you how to Color-Block! It's fairly simple and there are multiple ways to do so. One way is by taking some colored pieces (preferably in a summery color!) and wearing them all at once, like so:

3/4 Sleeve Pocket Cardigan in Raspberry Rose- Wet Seal $15.80





Basic Knit Tank in Turquoise- Forever 21 $2.80



Joe Benbasset Eyelet Lace Skirt- Kohls NOW $19


OK so I know this skirt was in yesterdays post but it's so dang cute and it just toally fits with this outfit! :-)

Womens Montego Bay ClubPiper Ruffle Flip Flop
Piper Ruffle Flip Flop in Turquoise- Payless $24.99


And that's one way to color-block... Cute right?! Another way is by wearing a piece that literally has blocks of different colors on it! Just make sure it doesn't have too many blocks or you'll end up looking like a game of Tetris...

Slow Down! PURSE XING!

Not only is this trend stylish, but it's also practical! Don't know what I'm talking about? I'm talking about cross-body purses! They just pop on your shoulder and you cross it over you body and it dangles at your hip! And these babies are SO much more stylish then the dreaded fanny-pack! *shudder*

Funny story: A few years ago I bought the most fantastic purse for only $10! It was a shiny black cross-body and it used it time and time again... It had this cute little weave thing on it... anyways, the other day I pack up my purse all ready to go out then I zip up the zipper and ka-POW! The zipper pops right off! So of course I'm all mad one of the best purses I ever had broke and it's unfixable! (Trust me I tired) Then yesterday I was re-organizing a drawer with some assorted items including purses. Then I came across this purse!! My Grandma picked it up for me when she visited Australia last year. I completely forgot about it. I was so excited when I found it! The colors is nice and it has FIVE ZIPPERED POCKETS, BABY! BOO-YAH! Oh and it has the whole color-blocking trend down :-)

My pretty purse from the front!












                                 My pretty purse from the back!

ANYWAYS!
I decided to put together a post of some of the most fantabulous, inexpensive, amazing cross-bodies I could find! Enjoy Fashionistas!

We Take A Break From Our Normal Fashion Post To Bring You Some Serious But Exciting News

Time to take a break from the usual fun-filled post and be serious. I was practically jumping for joy when I read this article! I don't know if any of you have heard, but in the UK David Cameron is going to "back a plan to stop  retailers from selling inappropriate clothes for pre-teens and shield children from sexualized imagery across all media". Retailers would be prevented to sell pre-teen clothing with suggestive slogans. And many, many more things would be banned. You can read the full article here.
A few weeks ago I happened to be watching the news and they did a whole report about a padded, push-up bikini for GIRLS, not women or juniors, GIRLS- at Abercrombie I believe they said it was. I hope if this all gets passed in the UK they'll pass in the US because I'm sick of seeing all these little girls (Don't get me wrong I'm sick of seeing other teens and women in these too!) in short-shorts and bikinis and all sorts of other disturbing things!
What do you think of the supposed ban?

Painted Piggies + New Shoes!

Heyylo Fashionistas! I actually tried to upload these pics Sunday but ran out of time and yesterday Blogger wasn't letting me upload any of my pics :-( But it's all good now! :-)
So I wanted to share with you my pretty toes I painted on Saturday! 

 I took these pics on Sunday because when I paint my own nails I always think they look better the next day!
I used the color Poppy Dream by Wet n' Wild and used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Invisible as a bottom/top coat. I don't really like Wet n' Wild nail polish (the 99-cent kind) - it always tends to chip even if I use a top and bottom coat :-/ Despite my rocky relationship with this brand, I still bought it because firstly: It was such an amazing bright pink! And secondly: It was only 99 cents! Oh and uh, yeah- my left pinky toe is actually two-toes-in-one in case you were wondering, making eleven tootsies in total :-P

I decided to paint my little sisters piggies too! She has such teeny tosies! I know the polish brand on my sister's toes is BonBons but I don't know the color... But the color is a cute pearly baby pink.

Look at my new shoes! I got them on Sunday and they are SO CUTE! I had them delivered free to my local Payless store (because it's free!) and the ladies that worked there were like "OMG they are SO CUTE!" And  yes these are the same shoes that are featured in my Fantabulously Floral post from last Thursday. Don't my pretty toes poking out just scream summer? :-)
