Summer Trends 2012

Hello beauties!

I just want to take a sec to share with you guys some of my favorite summer trends and aslo how they can be achieved in an affordable manor. So I put together a layout of my favorite summer look.

1.  Light loose fit Tanks: I love light lacey, oversized colored tops. I think they are so chic and so easy to either dress down for lunch and shopping with the girls or dress up for a night out.

2. TOMS- Oh my goodness TOMS are so incredible. I think they are so cute yet they serve such an amazing cause. I think that toms complete a look for a day of shopping or just whatever.

3. Jelly/big watches- Big watches are so in, Love the ones with rhinestones and a colorful band, I think it just puts a whole new twist to an outfit. (like "hey, take me serious, i'm wearing a watch".)

4. Skinny Jeans- C' mon. Skinny Jeans are a timeless thing for our generation. There are just so many things that you could do skinny jeans. Dress them up with heals, cuff them for a beachy look, etc.

5. Cross body vintage bags- Who doesn't love a good cross body bag? The vintage crossbody is just a very classic twist to every look. (and I'm one of those people who doesn't feel the need to match their purse to every outfit). but Just a simple brown cross body will pull a classic twist to any look.

*How can we make this look affordable?

Alright well like many of you, I like the best deal for my dollar. I typically won't buy anything that is not on sale. So, for this look I have 4 simple tricks.

1. for the skinny jeans and loose tanks, check you local department stores(kohls, belk, JCPenny) or a Chain store at your local outlet mall. (papaya, old navy) Check the clearance racks. There is nothing wrong with that. You might actually find something quite amazing! (My favorite pair of jeans were purchased off the clearance rack)

2. for the Jelly/big watches, check stores like rue 21, or maurices. They have some of the best jelly watches ever. and for usually around $10 each.

3. Cross body bags- Look online at places like nordstrom or even claires. I also like rue 21 when it comes to bags. Very easy to find. When you shop online, shop cross body bags, and then select price low to high. Best deals ever!

4. As for Toms, well they are pretty pricey. However there are other alternatives like BOBS by sketchers(they serve the same cause) but if you want cheaper than that then, your local show carnival or payless and you can find the TOMS look-a-like's that are just as cute. (but the only thing is they don't serve an amazing cause)


I hope that you guys found this post helpful when it comes to finding hot trends for summer! Have fun, Stay you!

Always on the go,

Leah
