LEAF SUIT: THREE WAYS

H&M Banana Leaf Suit (similar) | H&M Hat

DSW Gladiator Sandals (similar) | H&M Earrings (similar) | Quay Sunnies

Hi Hi, Happy Monday...This will be the last of the swimwear for 2015. It's been super duper hot here in LA and this suit is perfect to combat the heat. I've seriously wanted to go to the beach and jump right in. I scored this banana leaf suit at the beginning of summer for less than 20 dollars. Crazy...right! This has to be hands down one of my favorite and budget friendly suits ever.

I love it when you score something so awesome. I'm all about a deal!

This suit took me awhile to post, only because we all have insecurities about our bodies and I'm not absolutely completely comfortable with mine. My stomach is my problem area and the one place that I'm really insecure about. Okay I said it! I'm really trying though to just embrace my body and feel more comfortable in my own skin and not care how everyone else sees me. I'm not going to lie I work out a lot and people might say "what are you talking about your body is fine", but still I have insecurities just like everyone. Posting this post has really giving me more confidence to let go of my fears and just love me and my body. I really hope that everyone can try to love ourselves and our bodies more and not worry so much about our outer appearance. I know....it's easier said than done but let's just try, even if it's just for today.

Hope everyone had a fab weekend and stayed cool! Looks like the weather will be cooling down this week.

WORK WEAR: STRIPE TURTLENECK & BLACK SKIRT

H&M turtleneck | Express Skirt | Zara Heels | TJ Maxx Bag (all old) Hi Hi Loves, today I'm going to share my thoughts on older clothes or should I say clothes we no longer choose to wear anymore. Sometimes if not all the time the hardest thing for us to do is to dig into our own closet and find an outfit we love again. We always forget about the old and move on to the new. Why, why is it that? We buy so much clothes but we are so quick to throw them away, donate them or just hoard them in our closets and never wear them again. Moving forward I'm going to find it very difficult but challenging to dig into my own closet and pull out older pieces and rock them. Most of the time we just like to buy new clothes because it just feels better, looks better, it's easier to create an amazing outfit, that's in our minds of course. Well, that is not true and I'm sure we have some trending items laying around in...

DIOR INSPIRED SWIMWEAR

H&M Swimsuit (cute options here , here , here , here & here ) Forever 21 Vest | Loft Sunnies | Target Booties Hi Hi Loves, Happy Tuesday. It was blazing hot in LA this weekend, we kind of got hit with a heat wave. So I spent the weekend in this one piece swimsuit by H&M that I picked up earlier this year. I decided to play around with this look and by playing around I mean I got inspired by the Dior Cruise 2018 Collection . It portrays such a beautiful Western theme that I feel will be big this fall. To achieve this look I added a necklaces, bandanna, belt, hat and vest. Some stuff we probably already own in our wardrobe, like a bandanna, fur vest or even a western inspired belt, so adding it to our fall looks this year shouldn't be a problem. I love to have a little fun with my looks and not take looks and life so serious, because I got to say "it is just fashion right?" I hope e...

EMBROIDERED DRESS

Zara Flower Dress & Hat (summer sale snags) very similar from high to low here , here , here , here & here Forever 21 Boots | Handbag Hi Hi Loves, just wanted to stop in and say Hi. I'm wearing this pretty long sleeve embroidered dress I got from Zara during the summer sale. It's the perfect dress to transition you into fall/winter, if you live in LA of course. Since fall/winter came so late this year! So, just pair your embroidered dress or any fun, flowery dress with your favorite booties or knee high boots, depending on how cold the weather is and with your favorite fall hat for a very casual polished look. By the way, I may or may not look like a peasant girl here, but oh well I don't care I adore this look. Hope you're all having a great week so far. I sure am. Happy Wednesday!!! Talk to you Friday maybe.
