A Bloggers Reunion




Vest (underneath jacket)- Forever 21. T-shirt- Express. Skirt- French Connection. Leggings- Forever 21. Boots- Fiorentini & Baker. Hat- Brunello Cucinelli.


Check her blog outtt.

Fashion bloggers of Cleveland, Ohio.

Fur jacket, Love Me Shirt, White Blazer- All Goodwill.

Today's day including seeing Confessions of A Shopaholic and raiding the nearby Goodwill with my friend and fashion blogger, Jenny. Having read some of the awful reviews for Shopaholic, my expectations were low. How pleasantly surprised I was to find a solid comedy with an excellent cast with mostly great chemistry. The main character, a shopaholic supreme, reminding all of us of someone we know. In the end there were tons of audience laughs and smiles, which really is what a day at your local movie theater is about. Next, Goodwill time! Pretty much all, including my purchases, were under 10 dollars. Jenny's purchases included a magnificent purple blazer that I am still jealous of and many more.

Biker Chic

Shirt- Express. Rubber skirt- Forever 21. Headband- Forever 21.

On a recent post, I received a comment advising me to showcase my cheaper clothing. This advice really helped me decide what to show on here, especially because a bargain shops like H&M and Forever 21 are two of my favorite stores. Anyways, this past Saturday, my mother and I did our annual trip to Forever 21, in which I bought my spring clothes. I noticed that the actual spring clothing wasn't all that great, and I bought mostly blacks. This included a fringe vest, a pair of grommet leggings, a cardigan with two stripes, a jean romper, a satin skirt, a pair of satin shorts along with some beautiful accessories. Each of the pieces was under 30 dollars, which added up to a grand total of $204.37.

I'm also trying out the headband with bang look. This headband reminded me of a turban and ever since I saw Rachel Roy sporting them, I've thought that they are chic with a cultural twist.

P.s.- Sorry for the long break without an update. This week is looking hectic so I might not get to blog as much as I'd like. Hope everyone has a greatt week though!

Shirt (underneath jacket)- Express. Tutu- French Connection. Jacket- Express. Socks- Betsey Johnson. Boots- Frye.

This tutu is attached to the purple dress I wore in a few posts back. It's detachable, so voila, now i have two outfits for the price of one. This jacket (which was seen on another blogger's site) was bought from Express a few days back, along with the tee underneath. I had never shopped at Express since this time, but like any place, if you look around, you can always find something worth wearing! This leather jacket is amazing and I've already worn in three times in the past week. Also, black is a color that virtually slims out everyone. It can also be dressed up with bright color jewelry or a bright colored belt.

Blouse (underneath)- Theory. Jeans- Levi's. Jacket- Gap. Shoes- DKNY.

I've wanted a pair of tie dye jeans since they were advertised in Teen Vogue last year. The Teen Vogue pair were Diesel and they costed 400 dollars. Way too expensive for my liking and I knew that if I waited a few months, I could get them for a fifth of the price. These Levi's popped up when I was searching tie dye jeans on Google and the price was too good to turn down. A tip for all of you-If you are looking for something and type it into Google, they can always find similar products to the one you want, especially at a bargain price. That is all for now. X x x

White Houses

Skirt (Worn as dress)- DKNY. Shrug- Abercrombie and Fitch. Tights- Hue. Boots- Frye.

Currently, this house, across the street from mine, is abandoned. It's a great place to take pictures especially with the large pillars and such. Anyways about the outfit... The skirt, which I sport as a dress, was bought years ago by my mother. I found it yesterday when going through her closet and thought it would make a perfect outfit with a tough pair of boots. It reminds me of one of those salsa dancing dresses. The last picture is of me and part of my sister, who takes the pictures. She will be on here one day, after she grows up a bit, considering she's only 5.

My look: Shirt- BCBG Max Azria. Shorts- Forever 21. Scarf- Louis Vuitton.

These best friends convinced me to style them and let them model for my blog. Let's just say it was not hard to persuade me. Weirdly enough, I actually prefer styling others than modeling myself. I wish people in Cleveland would dress this way more often.

As you can see, my friends are truly gorgeous.

Lets spot the difference!

A) Bangs!
B) Bangs!
C) Bangs!

Which one is it?
** If you guessed A, B, and C, then you are a smart one.

These bangs have really transformed my look into a more chic one. Anyways, mainly lets discuss the outfit. The jacket was bought a while ago by my mother at Mary Kate Olsen's favorite store, Decades in L.A. The jodhpur pants were bought at a store in the area and the shoes were worn at homecoming dance.
