Striped Tank + Fun Facts About Me

6/27/2018

With my birthday being two days away I figured today would be a good day to share some random facts you may not (or depending on how well you actually know me) may know about me!

1 // Despite the anxiety I get from traveling, I absolutely love traveling and experiencing new places. I've been to 24 states, 6 different countries and multiple Caribbean islands.

2 // I love trivia. I have a ton of useless knowledge so trivia is the only place I can actually put it to good use.

3 // I tend to re-watch tv shows I love instead of watching new ones. I usually won't watch a new show until someone recommends it and even then it will take me awhile to get into it. I'm currently re-watching The Office for probably the 20th time.

4 // I love to read. One of my favorite ways to relax is to sit outside or by the pool with a good book.

5 // I over eat on a regular basis. I love food and have a hard time with self control. If food is in front of me, I'll continue to eat even after I'm full. One of my former co-workers/friends used to pour a ton of salt on my food when we went out to lunch when I said I was starting to get full so I wouldn't keep eating.

6 // Old school Nintendo games are my favorite. I like playing the new stuff but I will literally play old school Nintendo games for hours.

7 // Speaking of video games, I can make my voice sound like Yoshi from Mario and Stitch from Lilo and Stitch. #imweird

8 // I'm socially awkward. I tend to get uncomfortable in large groups of people, especially when meeting new people, so I can come across as bitchy when really I just don't know what to say so I don't say anything. Once you get to know me, you can't get me to shut up so enjoy the quiet while you can!

9 // Despite the fact I never sleep in, I'm actually a night person. I love the quiet and stillness of night. I used to go outside late and night and just lay in my driveway and look at the stars.

10 // I wish I liked seafood. Everyone seems to love it except me. It sucks when everyone wants to go out for sushi and you have to either pass or speak up and say you don't like it. I always get weird looks.

11 // Blue is my favorite color. I would choose any shade of blue over any other color.

12 // I taught myself CSS. For some reason I enjoyed it so much I started taking some easy coding class and I now I have a very basic knowledge of HTML. I have a goal to start learning Boostrap.

13 // My nails are never not painted. Never.

14 // I overthink everything and tend to talk myself out of things.

15 // Not only am I an only child, I only have 4 cousins and none are within 10 years of my age so we're not really close. But I am really close with my parents and I have no problem going out drinking or playing Cards Against Humanity with them.

Save vs. Splurge

3/24/2016

Happy Thursday my little peaches! I'm excited it's almost the weekend and I'm excited to be sharing with you some save versus splurge pieces I've found lately. Don't get me wrong, I love splurging on occasion, I mean, who doesn't? But when it's something that trendy or in style now but might not be next year I tend to try to save instead of splurge. If you're like me, well then lucky for us, there are a ton of great dupes out there. With spring and summer right around the corner I've been on the hunt for all the warm weather pieces so here are a few saves and splurges I've found so far!

1 // This fun twist front Vix bikini retails for $172 but is currently on sale for $137. What a steal right? Or you could just pick up the MAR by Vix dupe for under $50 since it's currently buy one get one half off! I mean, is it really even a dupe when it's technically made by the same company?

2 // I wanted these gorgeous Steve Madden huarache sandals last year but couldn't bring myself to spend over $100 on them so when I saw these dupes I knew I had to pick them up. And even better, they're extremely comfortable and are just over $30!

3 // I've been trying to get back on the workout train and what better way to do that than with cute workout clothes? I love Lululemon but ~~some~~ ok most of their stuff is pretty pricey. This sports bra is super cute but at almost $50 it's a little more than I want to spend. So when I came across this almost exact dupe from Forever 21 I scooped it up... in three colors!

4 // This Chloe Drew bag is absolutely gorgeous but at almost $2,000 it's definitely not in my budget right now! So when I saw this dv by Dolce Vita dupe at only $25... score!

5 // If you follow Roxy (from Rich Kids of Beverly Hills) on Snapchat (as well as a ton of other celebs) you'll notice she's been rocking these Dior Technologic sunnies a lot recently but honestly, I don't know how great they'd look on me so spending $560 on them is not realistic. These Free People dupes are a perfect way to rock the look at more than a fraction of the cost!

6 // By now you have probably seen every blogger under the sun post a variation of this bikini. They literally mass send them out and then your Instagram is filled with pictures making you want to jump on board too! Well now you can get the look for less! This bikini looks almost identical and is half the cost!

Happy Humpday dolls! It's all down here from here, right? I got my hair done last night so I didn't get home until later than usual so I'm dragging a bit today. Of course I pick the one week to get my hair done that it's like 100% chance of rain every day until next Monday. Oh well, c'est la vie. Speaking of hair appointments, does anyone else have to keep a planner with them to keep track of all of your appointments and meetings? If you're like me, you work life, personal life and blogging life tend to all get jumbled together and it can be hard to keep track of everything. Staying organized is extremely important for me (I blame it on my OCD tendencies) so it's great having cute accessories to help keep your life on track.

Blue Sky has the best notebooks, planners and calendars to not only help keep you on schedule but look cute doing it and best part? They launched a Target collection! The have several different sized planners and the colors and patterns are perfect. I also love them because they aren't Jan-Dec, these are June 2016 - July 2017 so you can pick them up in the middle of the year and not lose any time.

Since I'm really into gold and white right now (and you all know how I feel about stripes) the gold striped one was my favorite. The touches of blue on the inside also made it perfect for me. I love that it not only has the full calendar view, it also breaks it out by week so you can fill in everything you have going on per week and still have enough room for notes. The pink one is perfect for throwing in your purse on the go. It's small enough to take with you any where and not be bulky but it also has plenty of room to keep track of everything. The blue patterned one is perfect for work. It's large enough to take extensive notes (it even has it's own fairly large note section in the back!) and has enough room to fit all of my meetings, which sometimes can be 5-6 per day! Check out the Blue Sky notebooks and planners at your local Target and see a preview of some other Blue Sky for Target items here!
