Trends to Try: NYFW to your closet

Happy trend day Tuesday! I don’t know about you, but last week I completely obsessed over what was happening and New York Fashion Week. I was drooling all over the screen as I looked at the runway looks. So, today I’m showing you some of my favorite trends from the runway and showing you a practical way to wear them!

1. Fringe.

This look was shown by Marchesa, along with many other fringe looks. The whole feel of this show was very Gatsby-esque. It was amazing!

This is an adorable fringe dress you can find at Forever 21! Fringe may seem intimidating, but this dress can be worn by anyone. It’s really casual and perfect for spring!

2. Appliques.

How great is this look by Michael Kors!? This line was full of neutral colors with cool textures and prints, one being this applique dress.

I found this adorable applique dress at ASOS. This trend was little harder for me to find, but I think it is so cute. I am in love with this ASOS dress!

3. Leather Details.

This leather detail dress was shown by Calvin Klein. This line featured a lot of different pieces with leather details.

This Blue Fly dress is the perfect leather detail dress! I love the distressed plaid pattern in the middle and the leather belt.

Which NYFW trend is your favorite?

Trends to Try: Bathing Suits!

As much as we would like to pretend that it's far away, bathing suit season is right around the corner. Well, at least in FL it is. Spring break is less than a month away, which means it's time to go bathing suit shopping!

So, I'm bringing you some trends I've been noticing on Pinterest when it comes to bathing suits.

1. High neck tops.

 

 

Made by Dawn // O'Neill Top & Bottom

I LOVE this trend! I think it is so cute and new. The bathing suit on the left is a Made by Dawn suit. This Made by Dawn suit is definitely a splurge, but you can find the one on the right at Bealls, for my FL people. It's an O'Neill suit, and while it's not cheap it won't break the bank as much as the Made by Dawn suit.

2. High waisted bottoms.

Now, high waisted bikini bottoms aren't new, but they are back this bikini season. I personally don't own any, so I'm really hoping to get some this year! One of the things I love about high waisted bikini bottoms is that they are flattering on most body types. They cover up that area that no one likes (unless you have a six pack), but still gives you the bikini look.

3. Sporty suits.

 

 

House of Swim // Everything but Water

These sporty bathing suits are for those girls who don't like to just lay around when they go to the beach. These suits are perfect for being active on the beach without worrying about anything popping out! I for one get bored just laying around at the beach, so I'll be on the look out for a well priced, sporty bikini!

Let me know which style you love!

Style Today: Beauty & Brains Bangles

Alright everyone, it's here! The post featuring the beautiful bracelet stack I posted on instagram. AND if you read all of the way to the bottom you'll find a special deal on a stack just for my readers!

 

 

This little collaboration started when I saw that one of my friends was starting a business making these awesome bracelets. I've always wanted some of these bracelets, but couldn't bring myself to pay the price. So, as soon as I saw that she was making them I reached out to see how much they were and learned that they are less than half of the price of the competition I was so excited and asked to collab. These bangles start out at only $10, but you can get 2 for $18. How great is that!?

 

 

When we decided to collab I had just bought this dress from Forever 21 (for only $10!), so I sent a picture of it to the girls at Beauty & Brains Bangles to get a stack made to go with it. They made a beautiful arrangement of black, white, gold, and pink. That's the beauty of this company, you can pick the exact beads that you want in your stack and they'll make it!

 

 

I paired my $10 Forever 21 dress with some sheer black tights from H&M and black suede pumps from the LC Lauren Conrad line at Kohls (these shoes are exactly the same as the ones I wore in last weeks Style Today post, except in black). Other than the Beauty & Brains bracelets, I kept the other jewelry simple. I wanted this look to be about the bracelets.

 

 

Lastly, for my hair I went with a messy fishtail braid. The dress is quite structured, so I wanted to go with a deconstructed hairstyle to contrast it. Also, if you're wondering if I really splurged for those sparkly Kate Spade earrings, think again. These earring were a gift from my friend Rechael and she made them herself! Check her out at adaydreamlove.com!

OKAY, as promised, I have a little deal for you guys!

When you order 3 or more bangles from Beauty & Brains Bangles, you will get 10% off when you mention All Things Recessionista!

To order, visit their Facebook page Beauty & Brains Bangles and simply send them a message saying what you would like. And don't forget to mention All Things Recessionista to get your 10% off on 3 or more!

Believe me, you are going to love their bangles and you are definitely getting a great deal!

TBT: Military Vest

Happy Thursday, y'all! The work week is almost over and the weekend is well on it's way!

Now, I don't usually participate in TBT (throwback Thursday), but my Timehop inspired me to!

I'm going to show you two looks I wore exactly one year apart without even realizing it!

One year ago Saturday.

Saturday.

Weird, right!? When I put this look together last Saturday, I had no idea I had worn almost the same outfit a year earlier. Although the looks are extremely similar, the only piece that is the same is the vest. So, I simply updated this look a little.

In the look I wore a year ago, I paired this military vest with black jeans, a cotton beige top, and rose gold flats. When I wore it this Saturday, I paired it with faux leather leggings, a cream chiffon top, and my alligator print cutout booties.

Here's more on the updated look.

 

 

 

 

Side note: I got these leggings from Kohls from the LC Lauren Conrad line for only $7.20!

I hope you like today's TBT look!

Enjoy :)

Trends to Try: Spring trends

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Did you catch my post yesterday about some memorable fashion moments from the Grammys? if not, go check it out by clicking here.

Today I am here to brighten your day with some Spring trends! Believe it or not, Spring is right around the corner, so I've been searching the runways for some fun Spring trends to bring to you! I'll be showing a look from the runway and a street style look.

1. Scalloped hems.

 

 

This trend is so adorable, right!? I am loving it! Oscar De La Renta showed this green, scalloped dress for his Spring 2015 line, but it is popping up in stores everywhere! This faux leather scalloped skirt can be found at Forever 21 for under $20.

2. Palm print.

 

 

What screams Spring more than a palm tree print? Almost nothing! This print is so cute and there are so many different varieties of it out there. Although, you should be careful with this trend as it could turn into an throwback look if you're not careful.

3. Shoulder cutouts.

 

 

Shoulder cutout are back! I remember when I was in high school and I thought those types of shirts were so cool, but I never had one and now I'm getting a second chance! Vera Wang showed this look for her Spring 2015 collection and while it's not too extreme, it is extremely expensive, but don't worry this style is in most stores for spring!

Hopefully I have given you something to look forward to other than warm weather for Spring!

Enjoy :)

Style Today: Class Act

Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope you are having an awesome weekend, I know I am! I've had a pretty chill weekend of hanging out with friends and family, which I haven't been able to do lately because of work, so it's been nice!

Today's look is a little classy, a little trendy, and a lot of fun!

 

 

 

 

From afar, this looks like a simple black skirt and a grey tank right? Well, that is not the case! This lovely LC Lauren Conrad midi skirt has tiny little polka dots. I absolutely love this skirt! You might remember the last time I wore it: Fashionably Late. 

 

 

 

 

And this top is not a simple grey tank. This top is also LC Lauren Conrad and it is the cutest little lace crop top. I bought it in the middle of fall and haven't had a chance to wear it yet. I got this top for $7.20 at Kohls.

Guess what brand my shoes are... if you guessed LC Lauren Conrad then you are right! Can you tell I adore her line?

 

 

 

 

As far as accessories go, I decided to keep it super simple with this look in order to keep the class level up. I wore a silver Fossil watch and a single drop crystal necklace. That's it.

 

 

 

 

This morning it was slightly chilly, so I threw on my denim jacket. I feel like this time of the year is THE best time to rock denim jackets. It's perfect for transitioning into spring. Also, sorry to those of you who are still knee deep in snow. Here in FL it's a beautiful 75 degrees today :)

 

 

I hope you enjoy this look! Side note, my husband is getting pretty good at this whole taking pictures of my outfits thing. Major props to him. Love you, babe <3

Enjoy :)
