Things I am Loving

by Jenni in


We all have things that suddenly and unexpectedly make us look like this. There have been a few items, blog posts, and the like over the past couple of weeks that I have simply fallen in love with. Get ready, because there are a lot of things that I have become completely addicted to. One of them being this completely unproductive yet engrossing name website. For instance, I now know that my great-grandmother's name, Alma, was quite popular at the turn of the century. Well, it may not be the cure to world hunger, but I found it super interesting!

There is one thing, however that has lost me. Sadly, as of two weeks ago, I fell out of love with Pretty Little Liars. I mean really, if there was a town that crazy ANYWHERE the entire world would come together in the sole purpose of destroying it. Getting rid of the craziness that is Rosewood could literally bring world peace. That is how crazy PLL has become. Rant complete.

These Jeans

I am LOVING all of her super handy and simple make-up tutorials. She, like me, is a bottle red-head and does make-up to suit those color tones. This has made is super easy for me to do what she does and, bam! have amazing looking make-up. So far, my absolute favorite has been this one on using oranges. It revolutionized my summer make-up regimen.

I am not usually a Hollister kind of gal, but I was in the market for jeans at a time they were having a sale no one could refuse. I purchased these and my love has grown everyday that I wear them. Granted, it has only been a week and I have not washed them yet, but they are incredible. Simply the most comfy, least awkward-when-worn-too-much jeans I have ever purchased, and for under $30!

Braided Buns

These are so easy to do and look so refined. Definitely not like something you just did because your hair has decided to go in every direction but flat. And let's face it, that is one of the best reasons anyone has for putting their hair in a bun.

Deodorant for Clothes

Because we are camping. And because sometimes you just don't have time to dry clean that one needed article of clothing.

These Shoes

I got them on a sale and have also fallen in love with them. If they are still available, man are they a good buy! The only downside is that the buckle hits right on my ankle bone. This has made a comfort issue when I try to wear them too tight. Just as long as the buckle stays loose though, they are super comfy.

Sales

My wallet is telling me no but my mind is telling me yes! There have been so many incredible sales this past month on Etsy, J. Crew, The Gap, Hollister, and about 50 other places that I cannot currently think of. It has made purchasing all those needed clothes for summer and fall soooo easy!

Photo Beautifiers

Apps like Afterlight and Over have made my new Instagram goals soo much easier! Not only am I able to get pictures out more regularly, but they do no look like my usual sad, gray photos of nothingness. Yay for apps that make us look much more proficient with cameras than we may actually be!

Michigan Weather

Grand Haven Michigan

We are heading down to Florida this week and I have an odd feeling there will be some weather shock in my future. The summer in Michigan has been wonderful with very few days reaching above 85 degrees. This Michigan summer has definitely been on the top of my "Things I am Loving"  list.

This Bracelet

I ordered it. Received it 4-days later. And fell for it on the spot. It is simple, light, and comes in some pretty nice packaging to boot!

Fishtail Braids

They are easy when you get the hang of it and look so wonderful. I also absolutely love them with a pretty hair band or some big earrings. Swoon.

This is a great tutorial as well!

Jaclyn Hill

I am LOVING all of her super handy and simple make-up tutorials. She, like me, is a bottle red-head and does make-up to suit those color tones. This has made is super easy for me to do what she does and, bam! have amazing looking make-up. So far, my absolute favorite has been this one on using oranges. It revolutionized my summer make-up regimen.


A Massive Shopbop Sale and The Bikinis I am Eyeing From It

by Jenni in


It may not be feeling quite like spring yet for the rest of the country, but it is full-on shorts weather here in Florida. Every year I tend to buy one bikini that will mix up my wardrobe and squelch that new bathing suit bug that comes every spring. It just so happens that Shopbop is having a massive sale and I have become completely obsessed with a few of their bathing suits. The sale ends today, so get in while you can by using coupon code BIGSALE14. Here are the things in my cart that I have yet to decide on...

Shopbop bikinis to love.png

1. Vitamin A Bustier Top- I am still on the fence about this one, but very much love the twist on your usual bikini top.

2. MIkoh Crochet Bikini Top- Ok, I am quite obsessed with this bikini in the front, crochet in the back look. What kind of tan lines do you think it will give?

3. L*Space Solid Strap Bikini Bottom- I am pretty sure this comes in multiple color options as well.

4. Suboo Mesh One Piece- How cute is this, right? Love the colors, the cut, and the fact that it is a bit more modest without the whole looking like you are wearing a paper bag bit.

5. Peixoto Bikini Bottom- These are so cute and I do love that uber trendy cut-out effect on the front.

6. Vitamin A Cannes Crop Rash Guard- Just in case you ever need a rash guard that will not actually guard from any rashes.

7. Eberjey Gypsy Traveler Shorts- Some shorts that are not actually shorts to go with your rash guard that is not actually a rash guard.

8. Cynthia Rowley Colorblock Wetsuit- Yes, the is the most trendy and gorgeous wetsuit I have ever seen.

9. Norma Kamali V-Neck One Piece- Well, this is the sexiest one piece I have ever seen.

10. T by Alexander Wang Mesh Racerback One Piece- Like the previous one, but a bit less of the J Lo Grammy dress... You know the one.

11. Lisa Maree Open Mind One Piece- Oh how I wish this came in other colors. It is so pretty and different, but none of the details would be seen on me since my skin is the same color as the suit. Frowny face.
