Anti-Denim Shorts

When looking through my closet, I always realize that I have the habit of buying only denim bottoms. Denim shorts, denim capris, and denim jeans. Even denim jackets! But I do not own as many non denim pants as I do denim. So, recently I have broken my trend and bought these uber cute navy, cotton, eyelet shorts! Wow, oddly they have changed my perspective on life! Well, maybe not.... :)

Here, I have put together some non-denim shorts for you to show my latest obsession, cotton shorts!

 

 

 

As opposed to denim, other fabrics such as cotton and linen have numerous options like lace or eyelet or even a fun floral prints! And as a huge plus, I find them to be much more comfortable and softer than denim. Plus, they will never fade.

 

So on your next shopping trip, be sure to snatch up a pair of cotton shorts!

 

Below, I have linked up the shorts for your ease to purchase them.

Do you prefer cotton over denim? Let me know!

 

Hope your weekend is very fantastic!

 

Buy these shorts!

Trendy Thursday: Not Your Typical Summer Colors

What colors come to mind when you think of summer? Bright colors, right? Like pinks, oranges, yellows, and blues. But this summer, you can get trendy with what you least expected....

black and white!

When you glance at what many celebrities are wearing on the red carpets, you will see many black and white ensembles. Of course not everyone has been doing so, but many celebs are trying this new trend. People like Maggie Gyllenhaal, Reese Witherspoon, Amy Adams, and Victoria Beckham have all been spotted sporting this simple trend.

 

 

What do you think of these non-traditional colors for the summer?

 

 

Happy Thursday to you!

Trendy Thursday: Polish Your Polish

Nails are truly an accessory. They can spice up what would be a boring outfit or they can completely clash with what you are trying to go for. Plus, your nails are fun to play around with and you can easily try new things. So today's focus is obviously... nails!


I personally am horrible at painting my nails and am very guilty of having naked fingers and toes...like right now. Since I am skillfully challenged with the art of nail painting, I tend to go for a simple, solid color. So here are some of my favorite colors today!

From left: Chanel Orange Fizz, Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, Essie Cabi-o-lait, OPI Go on Green, Chanel Pirate

These are some fun summer colors to wear and I am really loving the Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, shown above.

If you are more adventurous than me, you can of course can have some fun with designs or patterns, and sticker nails are also a great option if you are unskilled like me.

What summer color are you craving to try?

Enjoy your Thursday!

Do you have PPD?

I recently have diagnosed myself with a serious disease that severely affects my brain and time management skills. I have been struggling with it for the past few years. It is fairly common among female users of the Internet. Its unofficial name is PPD.

Whenever I am just browsing through the Internet or trying soo hard to finish a task, I inevitably end up on the horribly addictive website of Pinterest. If you have so far avoided this disorder, then I strongly advise you to not click this link.

If you just clicked this link then one of these two statements are true:

1. You officially have PPD, or
2. You were curious to find out what this incredible website is, and you are now addicted.


So I would love to share with you some of my most favorite pins ever!

Can I say how cute this cupcakes is? With the pinks and the layers within it, this is one of the cutest cupcakes that I have seen on Pinterest. Plus, when you break it down, it is fairly simple to make.

 

And I will also admit that I love cupcakes, so you may see more tempting treats on my blog...

 

Because of my disorder, I have actually searched through all my boards to find this pin while getting dressed, only to see how I should roll my jeans for what shoes I am wearing. After all, it is a serious issue.



This picture just makes me happy! I mean who wouldn't die to have this shoe closet? Imagine all the beautiful shoes...

 

 

You can find the link to the blog's Pinterest boards on the side bar at the top of the page.

 

Happy Saturday and try to not get too caught up with all the amazing pins out there!

 

 

 

In the comments, I would love to hear how Pinterest has changed you - for the positive or negative.

At one time or another, we all have had them. Sometimes good, other times bad. But bangs are a new relived trend that is seen everywhere this summer. Many celebrities including Kourtney Kardashian, Jessica Alba, and January Jones have been spotted sporting this simple, but trendy, 'do.

 

 

Funny how Kourtney and January are matching with striped tees and red lips!



Even first lady, Michelle Obama, sported bangs for a short time. 

This is definitly a look to consider if you are looking to change up your locks. As a bonus, you will be right on trend for this summer!
