Hey everybody! Today I wanted to share with you all my outfit I wore today for the 4th of July. I wore a more casual, relaxed outfit since I stayed at home with family all day.
Black and White American Flag Crop Top- Kohls, $15
Dark Wash High-Waisted Shorts, Delia’s no longer available
Cherry Flip-Flops- Target, $8
That’s all for today’s post! I hope you guys enjoyed it, and see you next time!
Hey everybody! Today I’m going to show you guys some current Pinterest summer fashion trends that I see all the time. I hope you guys try them out!
1) Matching Crop Top Sets
I think this is a really cute trend for the summertime. This is something that can easily be dressed up or down for any occasion.
2) Crop Top+ Floral Kimono or Sweater
This is a more girly looking trend, but still very nice. I typically see these flowery kimonos with a plain colored tank top. I think it adds another dimension to the outfit and spices it up a bit.
3) Flannel/Plaid Shirt Over a Summer Outfit
I think this is a really cool way to use part of your fall wardrobe in a summer outfit. The plaid adds sort of a grungy vibe to your outfit, and it can keep you warm if you live in a cooler climate as well.
4) Loose Tank Top Dresses
I see these all the time, and I think they’re a really great way to stay cool during the summer while still looking pretty.
5) Plain Swinsuits With Back Detailing
These bathing suits are super popular right now, and they look so adorable! The details give more interest to the plain colors, and I’m sure it would lead to interesting tan lines as well. 😉
6) Crystal Necklaces
I think these necklaces look really cool, and I’m obsessed with them. I think they’re really boho and natural looking, and super easy to style.
That’s all for the Pinterest Summer Fashion Trends! Here’s the link to my Pinterest if you want to give me a follow:
I hope you guys enjoyed his post, and see you next time!
Hello guys! I have been accumulating lots of clothing so I could do a haul post, and now I have enough so I’ll show you everything I got. Let’s get started!
Ross
Sperry Boat Shoes- $40
A lot of people my age have these, so I wanted to try them out but the originals are $60 and I think that’s a lot to pay for a pair of shoes. So I saw these in Ross and I tried them on. These are so comfortable and they’re nice for walking. I knew that even at $40, it would be worth it.
Blue and White Patterned Pants- $8
These are so cool and boho-looking! When I first saw these, I was skeptical about them because I thought that I might not wear them. But once I felt them, I knew I had to get them. These are super soft, and when you wear them it’s like you’re wearing pajama pants all day. Also, these pants do not overheat you so you can wear them even on hot summer days.
Blue and white “we live by the sun, we feel by the moon” tank top-$12
I mainly got this tank top to match the pants above since I don’t really have anything that matches them. But this is a very cute tank top so I know I can wear it with other things.
Black tie-back crochet bottom tank top- $10
This is a nice, kind of thin tank top that is great for summer. I wouldn’t normally wear dark colors in the summer time but I thought the crochet detailing at the bottom of this was super pretty.
Black crop top- $6
This is just a simple black crop top. I needed one of these since I don’t have very many plain-colored shirts and I wanted something like this to wear with the skirts I have. Plus the fabric of this is soft and thin so I won’t get overheated in the summer.
Pink sheer scalloped tank top- $10
When I first saw this, I loved the color of it but I wasn’t really looking for anything like this. Then I saw the scalloped details on the bottom and back, and I am obsessed. I don’t know why, but I think scalloping looks really cool.
Black and Bronze Patterned Pants- $6
I mainly got these because I loved the blue and white pants so much. (Same with the next pair of pants) But the color scheme of this is cool looking, plus I love the pattern.
Navy and Dark Pink Patterned Pants- $6
I really like the colors in these pants too, and the stripes are cool.
TJ Maxx
Black Large Flower Lace Skirt- $15
I got this skirt because I don’t have any skirts that I can wear to more formal events, and I don’t want to wear dresses all the time or to have to wear black pants during the summer time.
Blue Bodycon Skirt- $7
This was kind of an impulse buy for me, but I love this blue color. Also I think this looks very vintage and 80’s inspired and the 80’s is one of my favorite decades.
Black sheer cutout shirt- $13
This shirt has sheer sleeves, and a slight sheer v-neck, as well as a sheer stripe at the bottom. I really like types of clothing with interesting features like this.
Heathered Gray Oversized T-Shirt- $7
I mainly got this so I would have something to match with the blue skirt, but I think this would look cute on a more casual day too.
Kohl’s
Black Caged Back Bralette- $10
I love bralettes this time of year. I think they look cute under sheer tops or tops with thin straps that you can’t wear a normal bra with. Also, I think the back detail on this bralette is so cool looking.
Black-trimmed gray t-shirt- $5
Like I said before, I need more simple shirts, so I grabbed this one because it was cheap, and I wear these colors often.
Kmart
Tropical Hawaii Crop Top- $15
I stopped in Kmart really quickly, so this is the only thing I got. I had seen this previously, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted it. But this time, since I am obsessed with tropical prints, I had to get it. Also, I think it looks like something you would see on Tumblr.
That’s all for this haul! I hope you guys enjoyed it. Comment down below if you guys would like a part two to this summer haul. See you next time!
Hello everybody! Today I wanted to show and tell you guys what my summer essentials are. I will be showing things that I use all of the time during the summer. I hope I can inspire you guys!
Beauty/Health
Flash Tattoos
These temporary metallic tattoos were super trendy last summer and they’re still in style now. I got these free from Dillard’s with my purchase of a formal dress shown in my last post. It came with some that look like bracelets, and some with symbols or little designs. I think these look so cool and I’ll definitely be wearing them all summer.
Garnier Fructis Miracle Dry Oil- Target, $3-5
I purchased this product last year, just to try it out and I love it. If you’re outside most of the summer, and your skin and/or hair gets really dry because of all the sun, this will really help to moisturize you. I think this is better to use on hair, and when you use it, never use more than 2 sprays or your hair will look greasy.
Lotion
French Lavender and Honey Lotion- Bath and Body Works, $5
Lotion is important in the summer because, like I said before, skin gets super dry from the sun and lotion will help to moisturize it. Plus Bath and Body Works has the most amazing scents in the summer.
I
Waterproof Mascara
Covergirl Waterproof Lash Blast Volume Mascara- CVS Pharmacy, $5-8
I live near Busch Gardens and Water Country, so my family usually gets a year-long pass and we got to both places often during the summer. Now, I want to have long, full eyelashes all of the time, so this helps to keep me looking great even if I get soaking wet. However, this mascara lengthens and makes it look like I have more eyelashes, but it doesn’t thicken them much so I usually wear two coats.
Benadryl Itch Cooling Gel- Walmart, $3
I’m the type of person who tends to sunburn more than tan, even after applying sunscreen. This product is a lifesaver for me because it cools my veins and makes them less itchy. Plus it helps to make mosquito bites less itchy.
SPF 15 Sunscreen- CVS, $2
Like I said before, I don’t tan much, but if I use a lower SPF I can probably get a bit of a tan even if I get a sunburn.
Fashion
Crop Tops
From Left to Right: Blue Tie-Dye Crop Top- Kohls: $5 on sale, Floral Strappy-Back Crop Top- Pacsun: $12, Strawberry Crop Top- Macy’s: $20, Scoop-Neck Floral Crop Top- Pacsun: $12
I feel like crop tops are the one summer clothing item that you see all the time. I have a lot of crop tops, and I love wearing them.
Entertainment
Something to read
Teen Vogue June/July 2015
I love reading, and it’s something that I do all the time who I’m not on electronics. Teen Vogue is a great magazine that gives good fashion advice. Another good fashion magazine is Seventeen.
A Speaker
Tiger Speaker- Christmas Present
Whether I’m having a party, or I’m alone in my room, a speaker is nice when you want your music louder and clearer sounding.
Apps

Pinterest is a great summer app because it has pictures of many interesting things, like fashion, hairstyles, makeup, food, exercise, DIYS/ crafts, and more! It’s free and easy, so you should join.

Hi Everyone! Yesterday was my school’s semi-formal dance, which was super fun! So today I wanted to show you guys my outfit and hair, and tell you how to do my hairstyle. Let’s get right into it!
Outfit:
Navy Blue Lace Jeweled Bodycon Dress- Dillard’s, $90 on sale
Silver Glittery kitten heels- Payless, $25
Hairstyle:
This hairstyle is a French Fishtail Braid twisted into a side bun.
Step 1: Comb your hair back.
Step 2: Grab a section of hair at the right side of your head and split it into two sections.
Step 3: Start it like a regular fishtail braid with only one rotation. If you need help, here is a link to an earlier post that can help you:
https://nicolefemme2000.wordpress.com/2015/01/14/5-cute-quick-and-easy-hairstyles-for-school/
Step 3: Start taking an outside section of hair and adding more hair to it, then crossing it over to the inside of the other section.
Step 4: Continue doing this across to the left side of your head.
Step 5: When there is no mor hesitate to add to it, braid like a regular fishtail braid all the way down.
Step 6: Secure with a hair elastic that matches your hair color, then twist it in a bun shape.
Step 7: Secure the bun with lots of bobby pins, hiding the end of the braid in the middle, and cover it with jeweled bobby pins if you would like.
And you’re done! This hairstyle is moderately easy, but time consuming. But the time spent is wort it because it looks elaborate and professional. I am super proud of this hairstyle, and I hope you guys try it out.
That’s all for today’s post! I hope you guys enjoyed it, and see you next time.
Hey guys! Today I wanted to show you guys 5 outfits you can wear this summer, since May is almost over. I hope this post will inspire you.
Outfit 1:
‘We live by the sun, we feel by the moon’ tank top- Ross, $8
Soft Blue and White Patterned Pants- Ross, $8
Nude and Blue color blocked flats- Kohls, $15
This outfit is for a cooler summer day, because of the pants. These pants are super soft, to the point where it’s like you’re walking around in pajama pants all day. And even though they’re pants, they aren’t warm or hot, so you can still wear them during summertime.
Outfit 2:
Black Crop Top- Ross, $6
Studded Floral Skater Skirt- Sears, $15
Black Studded Gladiator Sandals- Steinmart, $25
This outfit is the perfect blend of edginess and girly. I love how the studded details make the floral print look a little less feminine. Also, even though this crop top is black, it’s pretty thin so it can keep you a little cool.
Outfit 3:
Tropical Lace-trimmed Bralette- Kohls, $10
Black Embroidered Mesh Kimono- Charlotte Russe, $5 on sale
Black High-waisted Crochet Shorts- Ross, $15
Black Vans- Kohls, $50
I think this outfit has sort of a boho-urban vibe with all of these textures and the black color. I think the kimono adds a really cool touch to this outfit while not overheating you.
Outfit 4:
Black floral Bow-back Tank Top- Rue 21, $15
Pink Paisley Skater Skirt- Aeropostale, $6 on sale
Black Bow Flats- Charming Charlie’s, $17
This outfit is a bit more dressy than the others, but it’s still super cute. It is also a little more girly, with the floral prints and bows.
Outfit 5:
Blue High-Necked tie dye Crop Top- Kohls, $5 on sale
White Scalloped High-waisted Shorts- TJ Maxx, $15
Shoes- Same as first outfit
In my opinion, this outfit practically screams summer. The color scheme reminds me of the ocean, and this is the type of outfit I see on Instagram and Pinterest all the time around summertime.
Those are all of my summer outfits. I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and see you next time!
Hi everyone! I’m super excited for today’s post. Today I’m going to tell you guys all of my favorite things from this month. Here they are!

If Had Been With Me by Laura Nowlen
Summary:
If he had been with me everything would have been different…
I wasn’t with Finn on that August night. But I should’ve been. It was raining, of course. And he and Sylvie were arguing as he drove down the slick road. No one ever says what they were arguing about. Other people think it’s not important. They do not know there is another story. The story that lurks between the facts. What they do not know- the cause of the argument- is crucial. So let me tell you…
The Angel of Death by Alane Ferguson
Summary:
Cameryn took a sharp breath, then pushed through the doorway. In the corner of the room stood an oak sleigh bed, and in the middle of the bed were the remains of Mr. Oakes. His limbs were at odd angles, like gnarled branches of trees, the legs contracted so tight his knees made steeples beneath the cotton sheet. She could see the tip of his tongue protruding. It was a strange color, a dark gray, extending beyond his lips, a shriveled turtle’s head of a tongue peeking from the edge of his mouth. But that wasn’t the horror of it. When her mind finally registered the picture, she wished, in that instant, that she’d listened to Sheriff Jacobs. Because she was looking down at a face that was no longer there. A mask, like that from a horror show, replaced the face that she had known. Skin, no longer smooth like her teacher had worn in life, had now withered to the bones. Blood seeped down his teeth like painted lashes. But the worst was his eyes. The lids of his eyes had rolled back like window shades, revealing two dark holes. The eye sockets were empty.
Splintered by A.G. Howard
Summary:
Alyssa Gardner hears the thoughts of plants and animals. She hides her delusions for now, but she knows her fate: she will end up like her mother, in an institution. Madness has run in her family ever since her great-great-great-grandmother Alice Liddell told Lewis Carroll her strange dreams, inspiring his classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. But perhaps she’s not mad. And perhaps Caroll’s stories aren’t as whimsical as they first seem. To break the curse of insanity, Alyssa must go down the rabbit hole and right the wrongs of Wonderland, a place full of strange things with dark agendas. Alyssa brings her real-world crush-the protective Jeb-with her, but once her journey begins, she’s torn between his solidity and the enchanting, dangerous magic of Morpheus, her guide to Wonderland. But no one in Wonderland is who they seem to be-not even Alyssa herself…

An App called Remix by Polyvore
iTunes download link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/polyvore-remix-outfits-styling/id954637569?mt=8
This app is amazing! It’s a free app that helps you make and discover outfits. It shows daily trends and when you select one, you can then select an item from that category, and the app will generate an outfit for you. You can like the outfits, or press remix for some more. If you like an outfit, it will be saved so you can look at it later. This is great for me because if I find an item of clothing that is similar to what I have, I can remix outfits and get more inspiration for outfits with that clothing item. I use this app almost daily, and you guys would too if you would get it.
That’s all for my May Favorites! I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and see you next time!
