Breaking into Spring

Today is the first day of spring and March & April are full of spring breaks! It's finally time to break out the sundresses, sandals, and bikini's! Packing for spring break vacation put a huge smile on my face as i found my favorite flip flops and dug out my stash of swimwear. If your lucky enough to be going somewhere warm for your spring break I'm gonna go over the must haves for your suitcase.





Simwear

This is the first excuse of the year you have to break out your bikini's again! You want to pack your brightest, funnest, most original swim pieces to stand out from the crowds at the beaches. I highly recommend neon, it plays up your tan and grabs everyones attention. Sequins, florals and crazy patterns are great too! Save the plain colored for home and find a really bright or patterned suit.







My spring break was last week and I took a sun filled vacation. Heres is me and my girls at Lake Havasu rockin neon, polka dots, mismatched stripes and leopard print!






                                                    Shorts


Make sure you pack your shortest pair of shorts to work on that tan. These come in many colors and make it easy for fun creative looks! Throw a pair on over your swimsuit for some extra coverage or slip on a flowy tank with a fun pattern and your favorite pair of wedges. Shorts show off your legs so use them to your advantage to get the attention of that spring break hook up! 


                                            Party Outfits

You'll be spending most of the day on the beach but once you get back to the hotel and get showered to go out, you'll want a fresh cool look that'll impress. Don't be afraid to actually dress up and get some well deserved attention. It's spring break and you can't leave without one good hook up story! A mini skirt, sequined top and fun heels is a go to outfit. But if your wanting a more playful springtime look, a floral dress is perfect! So don't forget the strapless bra and gladiator sandals. This would be better for beach parties or if you know you'll be needing to walk to and from [;




With these basics you should be in for a fashion filled spring break! Remember florals are your friend, bright colors are a must and show some skin. This is your vacation and you deserve to break some necks. So happy packing and everybody be safe out there!

Walk it Out

"Two things you can never have too many of, good 
friends and good shoes!" 

Shoes are my favorite part about fashion. Even when I was an awkward pre-teen I still loved new shoes, and the feeling you get when you walk through a door with a killer pair on and every eye turns to you. A pair of shoes can make or break an outfit. It can change the complete vibe, style and intent of your ensemble. I personally own roughly 60 pairs of shoes and my collection keeps growing. Maybe one day I'll have a post solely about my personal collection but today I'm just going to share a few of my favorite styles, shapes, colors and combinations. 


First off is the simple and gorgeous ballet flat! I personally don't wear flats very often but they are the epitome of comfy and chic. They are perfect for work, school or when you know your going to be moving or walking a lot. These are for those who don't have to believe beauty is pain!


I absolutely love heeled boots! They lift the butt, make your calfs look amazing yet are so comfortable! I can walk all the way through campus wearing these boots and the heels give me that extra boost of "look at me" attitude. With these boots I like the rocker girl look with lots of details, embellishments and patterns. I love paring them with skinnys and tight black and gray tops so the shoe is the main attraction. 



I have a passion for stilettos. The taller the better! The way they make you feel when you slide them on is like an instant boost of power. I love outrageous heels in crazy colors, with jewels, hardware, studs, glitter, suede, color blocked, strappy, platforms, striped! You name it, I've got it. Heels look good with practically everything. you can love boot cut, flared or skinny jeans and still rock a heel. Shorts, skirts, leggings, dresses all work too! The heel is a major statement in the world of fashion and you better make sure you learn to walk in them.


Lastly you can't live without sandals! I get to wear mine longer living in a warm climate, and I enjoy every minute of it. They have so many different styles, you can find the perfect pair for the day and it's outfits. They're easy & comfortable yet incredibly gorgeous with all the detailing you can find on a pair.







For christmas I got 8 pairs of shoes! My family knows I'm a shoe girl, and that's really all I could ever want. Heres a pic of my favorite pair from the holiday my older brother actually got me. Indigo sparkled stilettos, Yess pleasee!
