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?

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!

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 :)

Casual Friday

"It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday!" Does anybody else get that awful song stuck in their heads on Fridays? It's horrible, but it doesn't matter, because it's Friday!

Today I'm rocking a look inspired by a Pinterest look I found.

Here's the pinspiration and my replica of it!

 

 

I love this look! And I love finding outfits on Pinterest that recreate with pieces I already own. There's nothing better than seeing a look and saying, "I have the pieces for that look in my closet!"

TIP: For those days when you feel like you have nothing to wear, pick a piece from your closet and search it on Pinterest for some pinspiration.

 

 

Today I was wanting to put together an outfit I haven't worn before, but I knew I wanted to wear my black jeans. So, I went to Pinterest and search "black jeans outfit". And that's how I came up with this look! Not that's it complicated, but it's just something I hadn't thought of wearing before.

 

 

 

 

Next time your in a closet rut, just turn to Pinterest!

Enjoy :)
