Savy Style Tips ~ Evening Dresses

Hello girlies! 

Do any of you have some big events coming up?  Homecoming?  A big date?  A night on the town? Don't waste your time thinking about it! You need to find an outfit! Keep reading!

Some people might be  into the neons and bright colors, but when you're feeling a little bit risque and daring, pop on a sexy black dress or a cobalt blue ensemble! It's sure to win some attention.

Here's your example of a classic night-out dress. The cut is girly, but the design gives it versatility so it can be worn out to lunch or in the evenings. It has a thick empire waist and a deep V-neck. While hitting about 2 inches above the knee. It flows beautifully and flatters everyone! You can wear this with a leather jacket, studs and combat boots, or dress it up with a blazer, pearls and nude pumps!

Leaving so soon? Boo. You're no fun. There's even more!

Trend to Try~ Cute Skirts!

Hey girlies! 

With those beach concerts and summer parties to celebrate the end of summer, you're probably looking for some cute, girly skirts to snaz up your outfits!

The majority of my wardrobe consists of basic tops and bright statement bottoms! I know, it's the opposite of people. I have a broad torso and carry most of my weight in my mid-section so it's much easier to tone it down by keeping the tops simple and adding versatility to my bottoms.

This first skirt is your classic floral print. It's girly and flowy and will never go out of style. I know the floral isn't this season's biggest hit, but it can still be incorporated into many trends! Each rosette has a few sequins sewn on that reflect the sun when walking. It's made surprisingly well and none have fallen off in the year I've owned this skirt. The skirt is short, but it's not revealing and makes your legs look a million miles long! I would pair this with a peach top and a flowy scarf or a coral top. I purchased this on sale for $4.99 at Forever 21 last year and definitely don't regret it! Who would?!

DIY~ Duct Tape Bow

Hey girlies! Now that summer vacation is winding down to and end, we need to start getting back into the swing of things. School is around the corner and that means late nights studying, early mornings, and bad hair days. An easy, quick choice is to pin back bangs with a bobby pins, but using a bow adds some quirkiness and preppiness!

Bows can be great to accessorize an outfit or add some color, and wearing a duct tape bow will make an outfit pop! But you won't even realize it's duct tape from far away! It costs a few cents to make and it's a great project to do with friends on a lazy day!

Deal Alert!~ Urban Decay at Nordstrom Rack

Hey everyone!

Today I found an AMAZING deal at Nordstrom Rack!  in the makeup section right by the cashiers I found a whole stash or Urban Decay primer potion for only $8.97!  It's originally $20 at Sephora so this is SUCH an amazing find!  It's a cult faavorite and my absolute favorite primer for long lasting eyeshadow.  I found the original which is my personal favorite and also some of the special gold shimmer primer for a brighter look.

I would go as soon as possible so you can stock up before someone else does!  To make sure they have it I'd call ahead before you make the trip.

Kaylie's Lookbook ~ First day of School

Hey everyone!

Today I wanted to share with you guys some cute back to school outfit ideas that you could get inspiration from.  It's always fun to dress for success on the first day because it gives everyone their first impression of the new you!  When dressing for school it's important to stay with the trends, yet still look semi-casual and not to over done.

Outfit #1

This first look is one of my favorites.  It is for the girl that goes to school in a hot climate, but her school can get a little cold.  It is really simple but girly look.  The bright colors on the scarf make it so on trend.  To make this outfit I got this dark blue short-sleeve top from Forever 21 that I actually got on sale for about half off.  I chose my Abercrombie dark washed denim shorts to go under. I love how they're short-shorts because it really adds some contrast to the heavy scarf.  However, if your school has a dress code, some high-waisted shorts would look cute too.  Then I added the star-piece to the outfit, the scarf.  I got it for $9.80 at Forever 21 and I absolutely love it!  It's this sheer texture that won't make you too hot and the vibrant colors really attract attention.

Nail Tutorial ~ Perfect French Mani

Hey girls!

Today I wanted to show you guys a quick tutorial on how I love to create a super easy french manicure.  This look is one of my all-time favorites because it can be literally be worn with anything from casual to dressy.  It's a nice change from super bold colors, yet still looks chic and different.  I used to use tape, but it gave be these boxy french nails that didn't look amazing.  After much testing, I found this great solution that everyone has in their home that really makes your french mani pop!

I chose band-aids because they are sticky like tape but have a rounded top so that the white portion of the manicure is rounded.  It made the process so super quick and extremely easy!  The greatest piece of advice I have though is make sure it FULLY dries.  If it's not rock solid yet, I would not stick the band-aid on or else you will end up with a gloppy mess.

Guide to Bargain Shopping

Hey girls! We're back in the swing of things now that the giveaway is over--a special congratulations to Hanna Lee!

As you all know, from the title of our blog, we love bargain shopping! There are a few tips to keep in mind when you're hunting for deals, and even though they're well known, I want to tell you my personal experience!

1. Know how often you shop! If you shop once a month, or once a week, it's always good to know how often you shop! If you get to the point where you can't keep track of which stores you went to, you know you're shopping to much! 
2. Limit yourself! I set my limit to no more than 5 pieces per store. If it's shoes, clothing, or decorations for my room, I don't buy more than 5 at any store because I know I won't get good use out of them!
3. Don't shop just to shop! You should go into a store looking for what you want, and with a budget! Going into stores like Target, Wal-Mart, Marshall's, or TJMaxx is dangerous because you can find so many things you want, but don't need!
4. There's no such thing as out of season! Just because a tag at Marshall's or TJMaxx says it's out of season, it doesn't mean it isn't fashionable! The color might be discontinued, or the collection might be last season's but it's still the same style and cut!
5. Always shop the sale section! I don't frequently go to the mall, but when I do, I always shop the sale section at JCrew, Urban Outfitters etc. The prices can be comparable to Forever 21 and they're still just as cute! Even in discount stores or less expensive ones, shopping the sales will get you the best deals!
6. Outlets are your friends! Even though most outlets are out in the middle of nowhere, it's definitely worth it to plan a few trips a year! I've tried going to the outlets at all times of the year, but it's only worth the gas money if it's the outlet price with an additional sale! I've found the best times are the Fourth of July, Black Friday, and the week between Christmas and New Year's.
7. Stock up on basics! Don't wait until your basics have holes in them or are falling apart! Buy quality basic pieces on sale! They'll be a fraction of the price and you'll always have them handy! You're never going to have to go searching for a white v-neck or black leggings again!
8. DIY the trends! Channel your crafty side and learn how to sew! Hemming a shirt is as easy as it looks, it's much more convenient to buy a shirt from Forever 21 and hem it than go to Nordstrom. The new army candy trend is also perfect! Beading and braiding is super fashionable!
9. Find dupes! Stores like Forever 21 have copycats and dupes weeks after the originals come out! There are usually more colors and the material isn't bad! Don't fall into the brand-name warp hole! Eyeshadow colors and eyeliners have dupes all over the place! And brushes come from every brand at the drugstore! 
10. Pay for the quality! Things like leather goods (belts, bags, shoes) and high quality cotton and cashmere can't be duped! However, you can find high quality belts, shoes and boots, and sweaters at the outlets, TJMaxx, Marshall's and Nordstrom Rack. I have leather belts for 7 dollars, a pair of Uggs for 30 dollars and a leather Valentino bag for 35 dollars!
