Spring Fashion 2015




I am sure most of you are looking for new outfits for this coming spring!


This spring we are starting to see lots of prints and bold colors, as well as pastels, and plain black and white.


~ Keep in mind that all pieces pictured have a link <3 ~

So lets see what is at the front of the stores!





1. Tunics: These long shirts were very popular in the fall, if you still have one, bring it back out! These are going to around for a while. Especially black, white and grey. 

Is this for you? These work very well for people who want to cover their body, or are very tall, so that the shirt doesn't touch the floor.This is for someone who wants to be comfy all day long.

2. Printed Shorts: We have also seen this piece before! These started to get popular last summer. Along with the printed skirts.
If you bought them last year, bring them back out, no need to buy new ones if you can reuse.

Is this for you? These work well for someone who really likes their legs and would like to show them off, (that's that shorts are about). These fit a little looser and aren't tight like spandex at all!



3. Laced Tops: Lace is totally in! The more lace the better. 

Is this for you? Lace is a preference, but there is so many different kinds of lace shirts. You can do a lace crop top, or off the shoulder, or even a regular shirt like the one pictured. Whatever you're comfortable with :)




4. Dresses: There are so many different kinds of dresses for this spring. There are cut out dresses, maxi dresses and abstract dresses.
Is this for you? Pick out the ones that you are most comfortable in and fit your personal style.





5. Printed Pants: The printed pants are back! They were popular last year and they still are. 

Is this for you? Depending if you like the tighter or looser pants is your decision. These work for people of all heights and sizes.

6 Shoes: Platform strapped sandals and strapped open booties are everywhere! These have been everywhere in the stores in the mall. 

Is this for you? If you want to show off your feet then go with the sandals. They also make you look taller. If you want something a little warmer than go with the boots, that only show a little bit of your ankle.

These are the newest fashion pieces that have hit the stores, and the newest fashion for spring 2015, leading into summer!

The appeal shown is very versatile, they can be used for spring and summer, or could be layered if the weather is colder.

I hope you enjoy!


Stay Beautiful! <3


All of the looks have been inspired by the newest apparel at Forever 21.

8 Steps to Getting Fit for Summer



Everyone wants to get fit for Summer, including myself.

I've complied the 8 steps that I'm going to try to use until Summer, and even after that.

Hopefully you will do these 8 steps with me so that we can be fit together :)

Beauty isn't just about the face and hair, it's about how you feel too!







 Step 1: Cutting out the sugary drinks! 
-The sugary drinks aren't doing anything positive for you unless the drink includes vitamins. But, be careful, those drinks could have 100g of sugar and 10% Vitamin C, which obviously isn't a good ratio.If you do drink the sugary drinks make sure that the vitamin to sugar ratio is in favor of the vitamins. Or to be safe Just Drink Water!





Step 2: Drink 2 cups of water with every meal
-Like I mentioned before, water is the best choice. Especially cold water, since it makes your metabolism work harder to get the water warm. It also really cleanses your body of toxins, and makes you feel more full while eating.





Step 3: Eat you veggies!
- I understand that veggies don't taste too great, but try to incorporate the veggies into every meal. I'm trying to eat two different type of veggies for every meal except for breakfast. The best way to eat the veggies is in a soup or a stir fry, because it tastes good and it's good for you.




Step 4: Exercise daily or twice daily
-If you live somewhere that is warm, then get outside and take a run or walk with your friends. Instead of driving and spending so much money on gas, try walking places, that is if you live near a town, park, beach, friends house, or shops. If you don't live somewhere warm, like me, then do indoor exercises or go to a local gym. Just find ways to move around throughout the day, your legs should hurt by the end of the day.



Step 5: Get 7-9 hours of sleep per night
-This is going to help you stay alert throughout the day, even after those crazy exercises that you did. Sleep is going to refresh your body and let it fully relax after a tough day. (I need to do this more)






Step 6: Get a workout buddy or community
-You can't go through this alone, you're going to need a workout buddy or a community that really keeps you motivated or it's going to be hard to keep going every day, especially when you're tired. If you're looking for a community try the PumpUp app on the Apple Store, it's full of people just like us, trying to keep motivated.



Step 7: Don't just forget about your favorite foods
- Instead of just forgetting your favorite foods, make them healthier. If you enjoy burgers and fries. Try a veggie burger and a wheat bun, with toasted carrots or freshly sliced potatoes that are baked in the oven. These types of meals are still yummy but have less calories so you don't have to worry about the fats and processed foods. There are many veggie burger recipes online, just find one that looks good to you!


Step 8: Have a GOAL
-This is the most important part of getting fit. If you have no goal then you won't have a reason to get fit. If your goal is to lose weight then set a weight you want to be, or select a pant size. Then, go and buy the pants you want to fit into. and hang it up on your wall or put it at the front of your dresser. Try on the pants every month to see your progress. This is also for anyone who wants to gain weight. 







I hope that you all can do these 8 steps with me to get fit for summer.
I'm excited about my results so far, it's been difficult but i can see the work slowly paying off.
My Goal: To feel confident in a swim suit this summer. 


YOU'RE ALL BEAUTIFUL <3
