My Easter Look

Lauren Conrad has done it again. Her new Cinderella line is amazing. As I’ve said before, I’m not a super girly-girl when it comes to clothes. I’m not really into pink and bows, and whatnot, but this Cinderella line makes me feel like a princess. I wasn’t planning on buying a new Easter dress this year. I was just going to wear something I had, but during a spur of the moment shopping spree with some friends, I spotted this dress on the clearance rack. Now, I had seen the dress in the store before, but never on the clearance rack. So I grabbed it. It was marked at $20.40!

As you can see, I decided to keep this look simple. I thought about wearing a statement necklace or more bracelets, but I think this dress is so great on it’s own, so I decided against it. I paired this dress with some nude, laser-cut pumps. I also wore a gold watch and a pearl bangle. That was it.

While I was trying this dress on, I noticed a little bit of makeup on the neckline, but it really wasn’t noticeable. Plus, I knew would get an extra 10% because of it! So, I got it anyway! With the mark down + 10% off for the makeup + the 20% off coupon I had, I got this dress for $14! How awesome is that?

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!

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 :)
