outfit post... a first for me!

  
     I'm so excited about doing outfit posts on my blog! My style changes like the weather! lol and I want to have a place where I can document all my outfits from time to time. Now I am not the most fashionable person out there, but I have my moments where even I surprise my self with my style haha I'm not trying to impress anyone with theses posts, there mostly for myself, but if anyone happens to like them along the way, well that's absolutely fine by me!
     So here's what I wore. This is an photo from yesterday. I was running lots of errands with my mom for her business and I actually ended up sitting the car most of the time lol but it was fun none the less. It was very sunny out, but the wind was a bit chilly so I wore my black cardi(Target) and some leggings(Target; my go-to item of clothing; seldom do I not wear legging lol) I love love love this dress that I snagged at Target last year. I love the almost greenish-grey color and the ruffles with lace! so dainty and pretty. I'm not big on accessories unless they are for my hair lol however I was in a bit of a rush, so there was literally no time to tend to my wild mane! So i just resorted to a simple ponytail lol.
     Well I hope you all enjoyed my first outfit post! And if you want to leave a comment below, that 'd be delightful!

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!

First Ever: Fun Fact Friday!

     Good morning lovelies! I have loads of running around to do today! I  have a wedding to attend in two weeks with my family and lots of little bits and bobs still need to get finished. I just sent my dress to be altered yesterday and I also bought some shoes to wear with it. I absolutely dread going to weddings; it's definitely not my cup of tea. Any way, I will be going all over the place with my mom today trying to get as much done as possible.
     So I will leave you with my first ever FUN FACT FRIDAY!!

Enjoy!

     Well Today's first ever Fun Fact Friday is... That I am one of six(6) children! Yes, all from the same mom and dad! lol I find it funny when people ask me that; yes, my parents have six children together lol. I am the second child behind my oldest brother who is 22. I am, however, the first girl and first granddaughter; I'm 21. Then there's my first younger sister who's 20 and after her comes my youngest sister who's 13. After the girls is the younger boys, who are 10 and 8. It's a pretty big family and although they drive me insane at times, there's never a dull moment in our house! 

     So there you have it, my first ever Fun Fact Friday!! It was fun to do this and i'm hoping to keep at it as long as I can remember to post hahaha well until next time friends, have an awesome weekend!

Do you have any fun little facts about yourself? I'd love to hear about them, so please share if you'd like!

Inspiration Board to the Rescue!

     I've been feeling really down about my self for a really long while now. I have my good days where I think to myself, "it's not that bad" but most days are pretty depressing to put it simply. I hate feeling this way about myself, because I really want to be able to wake up everyday and honestly say that I love myself, but it's just so hard, if not impossible! I don't understand why I'm like this! it's mind boggling, I swear! I just feel like my life is going now where and that I'm forever stuck where I am. it's like everyone around me is progressing and moving forward with there hopes and dreams, making them realities and here I am, living at home again, hoping and dreaming of better days where everything I want will eventually become reality. now I know this isn't going to change over night and that I must work for what I want. I understand that completely! however, it's just that no matter what I do I just feel like I'm still going absolutely no where!! why is this my life! where did I go wrong!?!? how can I fix my life to be what I've always wanted it to be!?
      I'm thinking of making an inspiration board to help me see where i want to go and to help me stay focused and determined to achieve all my goals!! I feel like this is going to be very helpful for me to keep my motivation going strong! I've been hearing about inspiration boards a lot over the past couple of weeks and finally started planning my own! I just simply wrote down all the little bits and bobs i want to incorporate into my inspiration board. Most of them are lifestyle changes and mental notes to stay positive and happy. I'm currently tackling probably my biggest obstacle, my weight! I just cringe at the thought of it! But its something I've been wanting to change for a very long while now, but i just never find the motivation to do something about it. I'm hoping my inspiration board will spark a fire under my bum and get me moving in the right directions in life! My laziness is another problem that I really need to change if I want to achieve any of my goals. Laziness is like a virus I just can not get rid of, but I've been working on a little bit here and there. I really need to just face it head on and change my lazy ways. Also, I have a bit of a self esteem issue i guess you could say. I never thought I had one because i always told my self I didn't, but I've come to terms with the fact that I may actually have issues with my self that i really want/NEED to fix! These are just a few of many issues that will be addressed via my inspiration board.
     I'm really excited about starting this little project! I hope i'm going to be able to stay motivated and focused on all my goals! I'm thinking of posting photos once its done. Then I'm thinking I'll post updates on how I'm doing with all my goals, like when I reached them, how I'm feeling, etc... I really think this is going to be the start of something truly wonderful! I'm so very excited to be sharing this news with all of you!

Do you have an inspiration board? How is it working for you? Plan on making your own inspiration board? I'd be delighted to hear about yours! Leave a comment about your inspirations!

june first!

     Such a lovely, lovely day it is today! Ahhh, the first of June! its just rolls of the tongue with such ease and happiness! Summer is officially in full swing and I seriously could not be more pleased! So what comes along with summer other than, no school and trips to the beach? That's right, LOTS of cute summer clothes and accessories!! Shopping for a summer wardrobe has to be one of my most favorite things to do when summer finally rolls around. Although my wallet my not always be so happy, it's definitely an investment toward making summer fabulous!

     My absolute favorite summer pieces are sun dresses and wedge sandals! I buy loads of them each summer, year after year, they never cease to deliver! They're simple and always affordable! My two favorite things when it comes to choosing a wardrobe! I also have a weakness for sunglasses, flip flops, huge tote bags, and fun accessories for my hair! This summer I'm actually attempting to make my own hair accessories! Its been working out rather well so far, once I master making them I'll post some photos!

     Target is my go to store for absolutely everything! I'm there probably two to three times a week! I have a slight addiction, you could say lol Any who, Target offers awesome deals on summer staple pieces that you just can't live without! So instead of paying those outrageous department store prices this summer, try the wallet friendly alternative and still look amazing! Also, some other great priced stores are, Forever 21, H&M, Love Culture and even Walmart has some great finds for great prices! So be sure to check those places out for your summer wardrobe!

     Another great source of inspiration is lookbook! Its an awesome website where tons and tons of the most fashionable people post pics of there fabulous outfits! I love visiting lookbook and becoming inspired by what people post. It makes getting dressed in the morning afternoon more fun lol So I highly suggest looking around lookbook for some summer inspirations for your wardrobe. Here's some of my favorites from lookbook that I found earlier...

I want this maxi dress in my closet now! I love

the skull pattern and the fact that it's black!

Chiara Ferragni's lookbook
