OLD NAVY HAUL #NORMCORE

June 28, 2015

After work yesterday, my mom and I decided to go to Old Navy because apparently they were having another amazing sale where everything in the store was up to 60% off. Sometimes Old Navy does this really awesome thing were they do that. One of the many things I love about Old Navy.

Another thing I love about them is that they're a great place to stock up on basics. I got some basic shorts, a tank, and a skirt. However, I also got some non-basic sunglasses and dress. There's always great finds there. It's helping me achieve my "normcore" look and fill my love for mom jeans, birkenstocks, and things of that nature. Here are my finds from my haul!

Tank $13.55

Shorts $8

My "normcore" shorts. They're a super light wash, and can you get more 90's relaxed than an ELASTIC WAIST?

Can't wait to rock this outfit. Something tells me it will be very soon.

Maxi Skirt - $20.96

Sunglasses - $13.56

I was so torn between these and another pair. I went with these because of all the different details - the ombre, the chain, and the size. I think my face looks better with bigger sunglasses.

T shirt dress - $13.55

Loving this casual yet preppy dress. Something about it just makes me feel put-together yet beachy simultaneously.

All prices listed above are with the discount, not the original ones. Old Navy isn't always the cheapest, compares to places like Forever 21, so these were some GOOD deals. Everything I purchased was at least 20% off.

Did you get any good deals recently?

MEMORIAL DAY OOTD!

May 27, 2013

Hello all! I hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend. I know I have, and I'm even more excited for what's to come this week. What's your plans for today? A parade, cookout, maybe the beach? Today I did my usual Memorial Day tradition, watching the local parade then boating and a cookout on the lake. I loove being on the lake. I think I've mastered dressing for it by now! Memorial Day is the warm up to mixing in beach clothes and regular clothes - something that will become a popular occurrence in the upcoming months.

This was my OOTD! I had a bandeau on, because I wasn't sure if it was warm enough to swim or not. But I thought I'd break out a t shirt and shorts, and accent it with a hair tie and a crochet vest. The vest is from H&M. The mint top is from Delias, I like the open back because it can expose a bandeau for an extra surprise. Since the top is simple, I thought my new tribal hair tie from Aeropostale would be a good twist. My last twist are my ombre denim shorts. I love ombre in every which way. Lastly, I just wore flip flops today, but mint or coral vans would go great with this look!

Here's me with my friend Bree, it seems that high waisted shorts was the theme today. What was your Memorial Day OOTD and how was your day? Don't be shy!

EVENT: FIRMOO SPONSORED DANCE PARTY!

April 28, 2013

I've written about Firmoo before, and this is definitely not the last time I will be writing about them! They've been so kind to me. On Saturday, they sponsored a dance I held with my best friend at my local parish by giving me two pairs of sunglasses to give away as prizes! Of course they're stylish as ever - oversized enough to make anyone feel like a movie star at the beach, the movies, or just kicking around this summer. All of the products from Firmoo are movie star quality at affordable prices, however why take those prices when you can get a discount. If you're interested in looking like you're on the silver screen for a discount, go to firmoo.com, pick out any pair of sunglasses and use the code SUNGLASSES4CU at checkout for a 20% discount! Keep in mind the regular lens discount too, and any lenses can be tinted to be made sunglasses!

So, my day was simultaneously fun and productive. After my typical Saturday morning long run, I finally sold my old car and now I can officially call the 2007 Hyundai Accent mine :). Then, I went to Smokey Bones with the girls and headed to the Parish Hall to set up for the event.

During the day I had my topknot in, however I let it out at night to create these loose, bouncy waves and did a small french braid at the top of my head. I went for more of a smoky natural look by filling in my brows, tight lining my water line, doing a brown "ScandalEyes" by Rimmel liner, and thoroughly applying mascara. I finished off the look with a light new blush from Bare Essentials and my handy dandy Maybelline BabyLips in Pink Punch.

We set up the hall with festive spring colors of yellow and green with streamers, balloons, and festive Firmoo Flyers of course!

We didn't have as big of a turnout as we hoped, however we all had tons of fun! I believe that you make do with what you can, and if you have to twerk alone, twerk alone. However we had a blast with riveting rounds of musical chairs and limbo, and our two lucky Firmoo sunglasses winners were chosen.

If you want to look as cool as my lovely mother and friend Justin, please use one of the codes designated on the flyer below to get your discounted pair, but don't forget that new members of the Firmoo site get their first pair FREE! A free pair of sunglasses, and well, anything sure feels good!
