Trending Cheaply

I Just Ride

Today I went on my very first ever motorcycle ride! My boyfriend has been riding bikes since he was eight years old so needless to say, he was stoked. We've been wanting to go together for a while, but I've been pretty scared to do so and kept putting it off. I'm glad I bit the bullet and went today because it was so fun. Of course one of my main concerns was what I was going to wear. And I have to say that being out in the elements (er, wind) and smashing that helmet down over your face really does minimal damage to hair and makeup, ladies!!

Aztec Nights

On hot summer nights I tend to gravitate towards maxis. They just look so pulled together but are light and airy at the same time. It's funny to see how your style evolves. Back in the day my go-to look was super tight jeans and an even tighter tank top. I like that my style has matured into something more tasteful, but still has an edge.

Robe Dressing

Apparently I need a vacation, because this look screams 'Resort'! I went with it and kept my hair in its natural state with very minimal makeup for a just-got-done-lying-out-poolside-in-Cabo feel. Robes feel so luxurious and dreamy. I got mine from the actual sleep section of Forever 21. I recommend taking a quick browse in the nighttime section of your favorite store next time you're in, because robes are the THING! Big for fall, but I just couldn't wait (: Happy Labor Day weekend, everyone!

Swinging Sixties

Anyone who knows me knows that I love the 50s and 60s. Not only for the fashion but for the music and sentiment of that time. For this reason, I am beyond ecstatic that the 60s are big in fashion for this fall. I thought I would get a head start with this cute little number for summer. I just love pairing flats with shift dresses. The look is so charming to me.

Fashion Friday: Sweats

The lazy girl in me dies for this trend. (Confession: I'm really lazy therefore dead.) But to get away wearing sweatpants as a night out, etc. outfit, you really can't be lazy at all.

Case in point:

Dear Lord I love me some Britney, but this is her literally grabbing some sweatpants . . and wearing them out.

Now THIS is a girl that wears her sweatpants out with purpose:

I have one basic rule for rocking the sweatpants trend:

#1 DRESS IT UP.

With heels, makeup, a pretty clutch, a nice top, accessories . . you get the idea.

And for those who want to wear the trend with more athletic flair:

#2 DO NOT BE FRUMPY

Make sure that if the sweatpants are not tight, that something else is. Or cropped. Or showing some shoulder. Or or . . something that shows us there is a body beneath the sweat that is going to do something other than lounge around (aka nothing).
