To Infinity and Beyond: fashion

Jeans, Galore.

Hello everybody! I hope you all had an amazing weekend! Today, I'm going to be talking about a problem that I know a lot of you ladies(and gents)can relate to.

So being me, I am a girl with a very short torso, yet really long legs. It is extremely hard for me to find jeans that are long enough for me. Every pair of jeans that I have stop above my ankles (which is a no-no for me) EXCEPT for one pair of jeans from Forever 21. Although I am only 5'7"/5'8", I'm all legs, no body. Another problem I have is that when I do find a pair of jeans, they never fit around my waist. I have hips for days, but my waist goes in. But minus those slight problems, I absolutely love to wear jeans. I just can't get enough of them. Shein.com has such a large selection of jeans and shorts, it's insane. Here is a selection of jeans that I have been peeping and hope to have in my possession someday.

(L to R) Black High Waist Ripped Jeans ($17.85) / Black Cut-out Jeans ($15.11)
Black jeans are definitely a need in my closet. And because ripped jeans are pretty stylish(to me), I would definitely love to have these.

(L to R) High Waisted Jeans ($19.57) / High Waisted Jeans ($19.57)
I absolutely love to wear high waisted jeans. They make my long legs look even longer. The only downside to wearing them is they never stay up on my, once again, smaller waist. I just wish I could find a pair of jeans that will fit everywhere. A girl could only dream.

(L to R) Denim Ripped Pants ($16.82) / Denim Ripped Pants ($15.45)
I am in love with the look of these jeans. The holes aren't overwhelming and they look like they would fit perfectly. There are so many ways you can wear these jeans that you will almost never run out of outfit ideas.

(L to R) High Waisted Shorts ($18.54) / Cuffed Denim Shorts ($15.11)
Shorts are always a difficult find for me. Every pair of shorts I've owned fit around my hips but they were quite loose on my waist. I'm not a huge fan of wearing belts, so I want to find a pair of shorts that I wouldn't have to wear a belt with. I think either of these shorts would be perfect for me. Plus they are super cute.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Like my last post, if you fancy any of these items and you want to purchase these on your own, make sure you click the links and they will directly take you to the website where you can view the item. Make sure you all give Shein.com some love, and I hope you all enjoyed this post. And for all you long-legged people out there who are looking for pants that fit, I feel your pain.

I love you all loads and I hope you have a wonderful day.

xoxo

Shein Collage Haul

Hello everyone! As you all know, I am one of the biggest fashion lovers. I am always looking for more sites to buy my clothes from and I'm always looking for new styles. Today, I want to talk about this site that I've been loving for quite some time. www.Shein.com is a site for very affordable and very stylish clothes.

I have always wanted to work with a clothing company to give you all a sense of the items they have and what kind of styles I am into. So today, I am going to give you a collage of outfits that I think would be perfect for each season.

Spring/Summer

Dress ($23.35): I think this dress would be perfect for a day out in the Spring. It is a beautiful black suede dress with a gorgeous embroidered neckline that goes down to the mid-stomach. I'm trying to get into wearing dresses more often and I think this dress would be a perfect option.

Red Buckle Boots ($40.51), Burgundy Studded Boots ($47.72), Suede Burgundy Boots ($36.05): I am a huge lover of ankle boots and these boots are absolutely the cutest. Sadly, I don't have a pair of shoes in this color yet. Suede seems to be a reoccurring material

Dress ($11.99): Spaghetti strap dresses will be perfect for the summertime. The back is low cut and it is nice and flowy. The dress pattern is a bit out there, but it's just what I like.

Black Sandals ($34.33): A pair of black sandals is a staple that should be in every girls closet. It goes with every outfit and they are super cute and simple.

Fall/Winter

Cropped Sweater ($18.88): During this cold season, sweaters are definitely a need in anyone's closet. I personally love to wear sweaters, no matter what the weather is. Now if you live in a place where one day it will feel like summer, then the next day it feels like below 0, then you'll want to be prepared. This sweater is the perfect item to wear because it's a thick, comfy sweater, yet it's cute and cropped.

Leather Trousers ($21.99): Anything leather is a must-have, especially these lovely leather trousers. I think they would look absolutely gorgeous paired with a cute sweater or a simple t-shirt.

Black Chunky Heeled Boots ($35.36): I have ALWAYS wanted a pair of heels like these. They are a staple in any girls closet and very affordable. As you guys know, these are very similar to Jeffery Campbell's, but Shein.com will give you a bang for your buck.

I am absolutely OBSESSED with the color burgundy. So you know I just have to buy a pair of cute boots and a cozy sweater to match it. You can pair this sweater with either these burgundy studded boots or those black chunky heels. If you want to add a more lighter tone to your look, you can replace the black leather trousers for a pair of white jeans.

Burgundy Loose Sweater ($14.99)

Burgundy Studded Boots ($47.72)

Sweater ($15.99): I am in love with this sweater. It just looks so cozy, soft, and flowy and it won't leave you hot and sweaty because it's not too thick. Grey is one of the colors that I really love to wear and it's very easy to work with.

Ripped White Jeans ($16.82): Who doesn't like to feel risque and daring by wearing white trousers? They are stylish and so easy to pair with. It is an important staple the every person should have or acquire. If your'e not too keen on the ripped jean style, there are plenty of other alternatives (Reg. White Jeans: $16.82)

Grey Boots ($37.77): I'm sure I've said this for just about every item, but these boots are super cute! I have never owned a pair of boots this color and it would be an amazing addition to my wardrobe. They go perfect with the sweater and adds a sense of fluidity to the whole outfit.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

As you can see, a lot of these items can be used more than once and I think that's what makes getting dressed fun. Being able to mix and match using less items to create multiple looks. If you've completely fallen in love with any of these items and you want them for yourself, don't forget to click the links to the items and it will immediately direct you to the product. You guys should definitely check out Shein.com. I think you guys would really like the items they sell and you won't be disappointed.

Fashion? Yes, Please.: Blogmas #8

Hello everybody! I hope you all had a splendid day! Slowly but surly, the end of the week is coming.

Today has been quite a long, boring day. As any other day is for me. My life is going at a steady straight line at the moment. But enough about that. Let's talk about fashion, a topic you all know and love. I love to shop, you know that. When I was younger, I actually wanted to be a fashion designer instead of an interior designer. I guess I've always had a knack for design. But for me, it wasn't the designing part that I liked. I'm more of the "put an outfit together and look fabulous" kind of person. What you wear and how you wear it makes you the person you are.

When I think style, I think of boho chic(very Vanessa Hudgens), girly, grunge, and everything in between. My type of style is a mixture of all of them. Lately, I have been really into the 90's grunge and American Apparel kind of look. And as you all know, shopping can get a little(very) expensive. Having no money because you have a slight(ly large) shopping addiction is something I know all too well. When you love to shop, but love to save money, those two never work hand-in-hand. Also, part of the problem is that I'm not very good at budgeting my money. It's a hard knock life for me. So as a New Years resolution, I want to make sure I budget my money better. How else am I going to shop 'til I drop in Rome during my junior year?

My all-time favorite stores to shop at are Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, Walmart(Don't judge. They have good leggings), and Hot Topic. Every other store that I am in love with(i.e. PacSun, American Apparel, Victoria's Secret/PINK, Topshop) is way too expensive for a college girl like me.

Most of the time, I barely have enough money to buy my own groceries. I know having a job would make things way easier, but I did not have that opportunity this school year. But you better bet your bottom dollar that sophomore year, I am going to be working my butt of. Sophomore year is the year that I must absolutely focus on school and a job because once junior year hits, it all goes up from their. Rome, internships, traveling. I need to be 110% prepared for what is to come.

Usually, when I want some style inspiration, instead of looking at celebrities and the kinds of things they wear, I look at WeHeartIt. Yes, you heard right. WeHeartIt is easily one of my all time favorite apps ever made. Most of my outfit inspirations come from there. Also, believe it or not, some of the girls in my studio class are my style icons. They come to class all nicely put together, whilst I am looking like a potato with jeans and a t-shirt. Every time I see someone who always dresses nice, I just want to say "Can I please have your closet?". Or rather, "Can you shop for me?". A long-term goal that I want to achieve is the ability to go shopping without having to worry about how much money I spend. Obviously, that will take years of blogging, working, and saving, but I feel like at some point in my life, I will eventually reach that wondrous goal. To give you a quick rundown of the types of styles that I like, here are a few pictures I saved from WeHeartIt:

I think overall, my favorite colors to wear are black, grey, and white. Very neutral, with a pop of color here and there. Yet if you were to look at my closet right now, there are clothes with colors all over the spectrum. To tell you the truth, I barely even wear them. But something that I find hard to do is figure out what clothes to give away because I am a hoarder. I have clothes I haven't worn for months, yet I can't part ways with it because I've grown attached. So I think I have another task at hand for the new year. Spring cleaning is something that I absolutely love to do. I love to organize. I have to figure out what to keep and what to sell/give away because there's so much wasted space where new clothes can go(not that I have "new clothes" money). Although, for some reason, whenever I buy new clothes, I don't wear them for a long time because I feel like they're too new and I would somehow mess them up. But once the time comes and I finally break out that cute dress I bought two weeks ago, I feel like this:

For the longest time, I've been trying to contact clothing companies like Rad.co, ShopJeen, Delia's, and places like that, asking if I could collaborate with them. Obviously, at this "early" stage of my blog, companies won't be contacting me for a long time. But something I've always wanted to do was make an unboxing haul. I've watched so many unboxing haul videos myself because for some reason, I like watching people show what they bought. But hey, we all gotta start somewhere.

Now that my Christmas shopping is done(for the most part), I can finally focus on saving money for me and my future. Just thinking about what my future could look like makes me smile. You know what else makes me smile?

THE LORD HAS FINALLY ANSWERED MY PRAYERS! This is what I have been waiting for! Another peppermint white chocolate snowflake. Those things are so good!

Goodnight(and good morning to all of my European beauties) everybody!

And the countdown continues...

ROMWE, Please

Aloha everybody! We have finally reached the end of the week. I have been waiting for this day since last Friday.

I don't know why, but this week has been dragging on so slow. I guess I'm just at the point in my ending high school life where I just don't care about anything but graduating. Of course I'm still going to do good in school, but I just have no motivation to do much of anything.

Today is also a very special day. Today is #FashionFriday, so that means I am going to recommend a clothing website and/or store that I think you should visit for the rest of your beautiful lives. I ran across this site a while ago called romwe.com and I instantly fell in love. Their items are so fashionable and definitely my style. They have so many different styles that I guarantee you will find something you like. I just recently emailed them to see if I can collaborate and sponsor their items. I am literally keeping my fingers crossed. This could finally be my big break in the sponsorship world.

I love blogging and social media, and I love fashion even more. I'd be more than happy to do this sponsorship opportunity. For those of you who have never heard of this site or know what kind of items they sell, here are a few must-haves on my wish-list. Maybe this could open your eyes to a new world of fashion.

Coffee Weave PU Bag, Minnie Sweatshirt, NYC Floral Tee, Snowflake Sweatshirt.

I can't even begin to explain how much I love their website. It was so hard just choosing a few items to share with you. It would mean so much to me if you all checked out the site and shared this post with everybody you know. And hey, you might even find something you like on the site. Let me know what you think of the site and if you end up buying anything, let me know what you bought and send me a picture through Instagram using the hashtag #ROMWEhaul . I'd love to see what kind of outfits you guys put together. If you want to check out the items in my wish-list, just click on the links in the collage description :)

I hope you have a wonderful day and have a great time online shopping :)
