Eve's Lookbook~ Affordable Fourth of July Outfits

Hello everyone! How are you this FABULOUS third of july.... in T- minus 5 hours... depending on when this post goes up, it will be the 4th of July!! WOOTWOOT I have to say, this is one of my favorite holidays! Not only do I get to eat nonstop for 24 hours at my family barbecue, I can also go to my friends' barbecues and have some tasting too. Let's just say I'm a food enthusiast. I'm definitely going to be running around, sitting on the grass, eating LOTS of food and watching fireworks! 

My two outfits, although very similar, a basic tank top and shorts, meet my list of requirements. They're easy to move around in and the top stretches so if I eat a little too much, I won't be suffocating. I might even have to loosen up the belt too! ...woops

My first outfit is a little understated, but still screams 4th of July. Instead of doing blue or white shorts, I chose an acid washed pair to bring in some white and blue while still not screaming LOOK I'M AN AMERICAN FLAG! The red tank is basic and comfortable and the necklace gives it a nautical edge. To cuten up the outfit I added a denim headband with a bow! Almost house on the prairie like! SO CUTE! 

Headband: Claire's

Tank top: WetSeal

Belt: American Eagle

Shorts: Delia's

NYC Bound~ Food!

Hey girls!

As you guys can tell, we spent the past week in NYC. We had endless amounts of fun and I want to share some of our delicious food with you! Come along!

One of the highlights of our trip was our unexpected detour to Rickshaw's Dumplings cart in Times Square! We were planning on chasing down the Wafels and Dinges truck, but after shopping our way to lunch, we didn't have the energy to walk another 10 blocks. The dumpling cart supplemented us just in time for lunch and we felt less guilty about not getting our dinges! Right in the middle of Times Square was this cute little red truck and what do you know, there was huge line. Judging from the line and the lack of chicken dumplings, there was obviously a high demand. We settled on the duck dumplings and the extra 50 cents were worth it because they were heavenly! We scarfed those up in less than a minute!

More to come! Keep reading!

Drugstore Review ~ NYC Matte Me Crazy Top Coat

Oh my goodness, how CUTE is the name of this top coat!  When I first heard about this product I thought it was too good to be true.  I can't think of any matte top coats in the drugstore at the top of my mind.  I absolutely adore the matte look for the summer.  I think it's chic and sophisticated, yet can easily be worn out on a casual beach day.  A matte top coat can easily transform a nail polish into a completely different look, practically doubling the amount of polish you have!  Not to mention, this NYC polish comes with an amazing price tag!
