Birthday Weekend Vibes: A Denim Mini, Snapchat Filtas + Ice Cream

Hey guys!! I know it's been a while since I've been on my blog, but I'm back. I've missed writing about my little life on here so much. I truly don't why I've been neglecting my dot com, but I promise you I still love my baby (my blog) with all my heart. I did take some time to focus more on beauty content and began making mini-IG hair tutorials. The goal is to transition over to YouTube, but y'all know I move like a snail. Great things take time, and I want my content to be perfect before I put it out there. Just bear with me, it'll be worth it. For now, let's catch up!

Lazy, Chic Vibes: Nike Cortez

While I am a stiletto girl most of the time, I loveeeeee cute, chic sneakers. When I laid my eyes on the new Nike Cortez with the snake print, I was like, "I NEED 'EM!" Vibrant colors, crazy texture, and a gum sole!! Can I get a YES?! I knew immediately that any look I decided to go for with this shoe would be super cute. How could it not be? These babies are life! I know I can dress them up or down, but I decided to be a bit lazy for this look. Keep on reading to see how I styled them!

$15 jeans & a very old sweater

The best ensembles for me are usually "thrown together". Not that I don't care about my appearance, because trust me ... I DO! But simply because I know how to recycle my old clothes and make just about anything work. The sweater I'm sporting in this post has been mine for about three years now. Its just one of my fave pieces that no matter what, I'll never give away. Its from F21 and has a total of four holes - distressed if you will. But anytime the weather drops below 60, its a definite go-to for me! I just stick a cami underneath, and call it a day.

My jeans are from H&M! They're high waisted & have a grayish undertone, which make them extremely versatile. I caught them on sale for about $15 back in June. They for me so well & look cute with just about anything!

Pairing this sweater & these jeans was a simple look & can be created and re-created over an over again! Its timeless & forever in trend.

'83ish

Have you guys ever watched FLASHDANCE? Its one of the most inspirational movies ever, seriously. Its definitely on my list of faves, so naturally I'd purchase a sweatshirt dedicated to this '80s film. It was released in 1983, not only did it give way to dance films, it featured some pretty significant style elements. Like wearing off-the-shoulder sweatshirts & tops. 

I haven't shopped in almost over a year believe it or not. I mean, I've purchased items here and there, but its been a while since I've actually SPLURGED! My "old clothes" have become permanent staples lately. I've really been able to mix and match and create some pretty cool looks. This past weekend, I came across one of my old sweatshirts from High School and ummmm I graduated like 4 years ago... moving on! So I cut the neckline for a little D.I.Y. to sassy that cool off-the-shoulder look like the women in the 80's. Paired with a sleek pencil skirt and a pair of "stepping" pumps, this look came through! It'll seriously be one of my go-to looks for this Fall.

Black X Acid Wash

Now that my favorite denim jacket is too tight & has a hole in it, I thought I wouldn't be able to wear it anymore. Its hard to find good acid wash, so I decided to just hang on to it - "just in case". I figured I 'd find some use for it, & i did! This past Saturday, I went for a simple look... all black with a hint of acid wash. Since the jacket no longer fits me without pure suffocation, tying it around my waist was the next best thing!!! It is perfectly okay to turn old pieces into accessories!! The jacket added definition to my shape and "color" to this all black ensemble. Oh, and this pink wall made me feel really sassy.
