dallassssss

My sister convinced me to pick this up at Anthropologie because she uses it (and loves it) and I'm so glad I did! Not only does it work on your lips, but you can use it anywhere. Body/cuticles/face....it's all purpose. It is wonderful.

This was on sale at H&M for only $1 and smelled heavenly, so I thought I'd grab it. Now that I've used it, I'm kicking myself for not buying more. It's much too small :(

Found these sunglasses online and fell in love. But they look awful on me.

I wear this bracelet everywhere!

Although I live super close to Dallas, no one in my family really likes going because the traffic is so awful. They have the best mall, though (NorthPark) and it has all of the really nice stores that my local mall doesn't have (H&M, Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, Free People, Anthropologie, etc). My mom bought me some really nice leopard jeans while she was in DC at H&M, but they didn't fit so I needed to return them, and thankfully my sister agreed to drive me to Dallas (too scared to drive in that awful traffic). I was really sad when they didn't have my size left in the jeans, but I found some other nice things! The black and white pants above are what I got as a replacement, as well as a bodycon striped dress (which is basic and boring and didn't deserve a photo) and a delicious body butter. I also picked up a really neat newspaper by Design Sponge and Rosebud Salve from Anthropologie.
I have got to stop spending money, though. Really.

floral jeans from the lingerie section

Just a quick little update from today! I missed a package I needed to sign for the other day, so I had to drive really far out of my way to go to a post office nowhere near me to pick it up (and why they couldn't leave it at the post office 10 seconds from my house is beyond me). Anyways, the post office was right behind Target, so I decided to go in and shop through the sale racks. As I was about to leave because I didn't find anything, I see this sale rack sitting hidden in the lingerie section. I walked over, and in the midst of bras and underwear is a sale rack of gray floral jeans. I don't exactly understand that marketing strategy, but I do understand how perfect these jeans are. I can't wait to wear them out (and I'll post photos when I do!).

Contrasting Summer Jeans Trends For 2012

If you are of the opinion that jeans are the staple requirement of winter wardrobes,
and have no place in the summer, then you may want to rethink. While perhaps
not appropriate in exceedingly hot weather, jeans are available in such a number of
different styles that lightweight, comfortable styles are always available – whatever
the weather.

There are plenty of hot new trends emerging from the world of jeans this season
with skinny jeans perhaps the most easily recognized. Yet, this is not the only trend
to emerge and, in fact, the world of denim is offering something of a contrast in this
year’s must-have styles.

Flares

 It’s never too long before good old flares make their way back onto the catwalk and
into the high street – and this season is definitely one of those occasions.

When celebrities are spotted out and about in a certain style of clothing, it’s not long
before the style catches on and ripples onto the streets. These 70s-inspired jeans are
certainly being endorsed by many a celeb, hence the rising surge in flares we are
seeing on the streets this season.

From Nicole Richie to Jessica Alba, bellbottoms are being worn by practically every
A-lister – down to every Z-lister.

In being tight to the knee and then flaring out at the hem, flared jeans are flattering,
incredibly versatile and create a smart, yet casual, look. Not only this but they are also
comfortable and sexy – no wonder the celebs love the flare look this year!

Skinny

In complete contrast to flares, ankle skinny jeans are also a hot trend for summer
2012. This funky style of jeans is cut in a classic skinny fit, with a touch of spandex
so that you can actually move. The ankle skinny jeans are slim all the way down and
tapered at the bottom of the foot.

Levi’s never fail to be at the height of fashion and skinny jeans are guaranteed to be
part of their spring/summer collection.

Being available in a range of fresh colours, including tomato puree, sunset coral,
abyss and snorkel blue, Levi jeans range of ankle skinny jeans provide a versatile item
for your summer wardrobe which can be paired with endless outfits.
