Time for my shopping picks of the day!  I am on Forever21.com all day long; I've actually come to know when the new items are posted.  Over 100 new items are posted daily, and it's very quickly become my therapy to take little mental breaks scrolling through maxi skirts, printed dresses, and all the gaudy jewelry you could ask for.  I actually love to check through the website before I vist the store to get an idea of the items I'm looking for :)

These leopard leggings are going to be my staple into Fall.  To keep them a bit tamed, I'll pair them with gold or tan T-strap sandels and either a white tank or blouse, or my faded denim shirt tied in a knot at the waist. 

PLEASE avoid pairing colors like red, pink, and purple with leopard.  Stop it, it's gross.  Even black is so typical and easy.  To keep it modern, mix with tans and khakis and whites, peach, mint, and my favorite, mustard yellow!

Mmmmm...Carmela Soprano/Peggy Bundy....this is my style inspiration!!!

This adorable studded blazer is another great staple that I'll take into Fall with me.  For now, I'm going to wear cute little fitted and printed shorts, or even a mini skirt.  I will put whites underneath, not black.  It's perfect to throw on over a printed tank with jeans on a chilly Summer night as well.  Of course it's great over a little Summer dress as well.  If you wear it JUST over a black tank you are lame :) 

UGH!!!  This dress is my Summer wedding dress dream come true!!  It is the perfect peachy color to make you look super tan, and I won't have to do the awkward Spanx shop and try-on disaster.  I'll wear it with some turquoise drop earrings, and little gold, white, and turqouise bracelets.  For shoes, I'll go with a wedge in a tan or a platform 70's style heel with gold accents.

To dress it down, I can envision wearing it to an outdoor reggae concert.  I'll just wear it with little tan suede booties, or even some broken in tan cowboy boots.  If I feel like getting real Coachella, I may just break out my white daisy headband!

This dress is also perfect for Summer weddings, brunches, showers, the Racetrack, etc.  I'd style it the same way as the dress above, with gold jewelry for sure.  However I think I'd wear a kinda funky belt, maybe braided leather in rainbow colors, or black and white, something fun.  If you do a belt, only do earrings.  Never a belt AND a necklace!! 

Obsessed!!! They may be a lil statement making but these can actually be so incredibly versatile.  So cute with the pink dress above.  So cute with skinny jeans and a navy and white striped cardigan.  This tan color goes with everything including black.  A tight printed mini skirt with a loose off the shoulder sweater? DONE AND DONE SON!!!

This skirt would be fun with the boots above.  It's such a cool and unique print, everyone already has these skirts in the FREAKIN AZTEC prints, or leopard, or any other generic print.  This one is def unique.  To wear it casual, I'll wear it with a high-low tank or blouse, and some cowboy-inspired booties or even some combat-ish boots.

To dress it up, I'd do a simple tank and wedges for sure.  DO NOT wear stilettos with a tight mini.  Yes, it will DEF look like you're trying to hard!!  Always wedges or booties.

I love this maxi for many reasons...the print and the beading on the bodice is really cool, and again, it's not the over-done aztec tribal prints.  But I mainly love it because it actually has a WAIST!!  99% of maxis are empire waisted so the fabric hangs straight down and can completely drown your figure.  And if you have even a slight curve of a belly to pokes out ever-so-slightly, you look third trimester.  This one has a really flattering shape.


Glam: HUUUUUUGE hoop earrings, tons of bangles, and wedges

Casual: T-stap sandels, shrunken denim jacket

Duh I love the high-waisted denim trends this year, it F-A-B.  However I will tell you that boys do not quite understand it.  The trick is, find a pair that doesn't give you a penis-pouch in the front.  They can def look too diaper-esque.  Beware especially if you make your own.

Go to Goodwill, indulge in the glee of trying on Mom jean after Mom jean with your girlfriends, pick a pair that fit you well.  When you cut off the leg, cut it slightly higher on the side: mucho sexy.  Use scissors to cut lots of slits, and also use an exacto-knife to scrape scrape scrape.  Grab a bleach pen and bleach away, or try dipping into some dye in a bucket.  You can buy a bedazzler or a bestudder and have fun!! 

Obsessed with this blouse, it's that gorge color again that makes you look so tan, and turquoise with it is so incredibly yummy.  So pretty tucked in just the front of high waist denim shorts or even jeans, or over a tight mini, or even knotted at the waist over a solid maxi.  Super Summer perfect pick!!
