About Time, Girl!

I think I'm the only girl I know who doesn't shop for clothes online, until today. I've always been afraid of buying clothes without trying them on. I have such a tricky body that it's never safe to assume something will fit right just because of the size. One of my favorite stores is Forever 21 and when I lived in CT, there was one about 15 minutes away. It's was heaven/hell because I could spend all my money there! Now that I've moved to Virginia, the closest Forever 21 is hours away!! The last time I went to an actually store I was obsessed with their striped crop tops but none were in my size. I guess I wasn't the only one obsessed with them too. Recently, the ones I wanted came back in stock (online) and in my size! Because I don't know if they'll be in stock the next time I visit a store, I had to buy online.

Now here's the part I dread. What if they don't fit right? I'm way too lazy to deal with the shipping part, it seems like a lot of work, honestly. But only time will tell.

So enough of my babbling, let's see what I ordered!

Floral Peplum + Need White Heels

I got this insanely cute floral peplum dress at Forever 21 a while back and it has been patiently waiting its chance to shine and today was the day. The sun was warm, there was a gentle breeze, and hardly any clouds in the sky; such a beautiful Spring day that I just had to wear this dress. The pattern reminded me of the 1990s and the peplum did a fabulous job of camouflaging my tummy while showing off my curves. BUT there's one thing I forgot when I put on the dress, I had absolutely no shoes that match!! The dress clearly needs white heels so I'm on a hunt for a pair. Until then, these pink sandals did the job, poorly, but I wasn't about to go barefoot in the grass with nasty bugs crawling between my toes, no thanks.

So besides the need for hot white heels, isn't the dress just cute or what?

Now I need your help! In the comment section, tell me which heel works BEST with the dress. It would be of a huge help to get all of your opinions.

Firmoo Review

A couple months ago I was contacted by the largest online eyeglass store, Firmoo, to write an unbiased opinion post on their fabulous glasses and sunglasses. With my operation recovery, it was impossible to take photos (major swelling) and write a thorough review until now. I was able to chose my own free pair, with my prescription included, and in doing so I can share with my readers about the latest First Pair Free program!! It was hard choosing which pair I wanted because I don't like shopping online. I'm old school. I like trying things on and think shopping should be physical but Firmoo's Virtual Try-On System was a huge help. On the left side on the site, there's an app where you can upload your OWN picture and try on lens that way or choose from a wide range of models and have the models 'try on' the glasses for you.

Majority of the glasses and sunglasses are very classic, chic in style, great for men and women, and the color/pattern choices are wide enough for my taste! Each description of the pairs include measurements of the lens which is very helpful for those afraid picking up a pair that's too big or small for their face. I ended up picking a pair that was too big for my face. If you're unsure, as silly as this is sounds, measure your face and then compare the numbers to the len's. 

Now onto the good stuff! Free stuff!! The First Pair Free program allows you to choose your first pair for FREE, only paying for shipping. If you don't like the lens or it doesn't fit right on you, send them right back for a refund/exchange.

I also have a FREE SHIPPING Code for you! For U.S. Shipping on orders $39 or more, use code: FREESHIP
For all other countries with orders $55 or more, use code: FREEEXSHIP

My pair is #SD2266 in Tortoise. They're a little too big for me but it's great to have a backup pair.

Still Kicking Around

Hello everyone!

It's been almost 2 weeks since my double jaw operation and I'm still kicking around. It's been a very emotionally draining and tiring recovering process but I'm taking it day by day. My birthday was on Sunday and I knew I wouldn't be able to celebrate it in the normal way (food, party, etc.) so I did do a little birthday shopping days before the surgery.

I went shopping at Forever 21 and tried to keep in mind fun spring trends and dresses. Check out the gorgeous trends, what I bought, and other cute items I eyed.

March Wish List

Even though it just snowed in Connecticut, all I have on my mind are full skirts, cropped tops, pastel and neon colors, and sundresses. Once March rolls around, I can't help but focus on Spring and it's feminine happy wardrobe. I'm heading to Forever 21 this weekend for some wardrobe updating and retail therapy. Hopefully, I'll be able to grab a few things off my wish list.

Here is my Spring wish list.

Lace Oxblood + Polka Dots

In an effort to stay with my tiny budget this holiday, I've been pretty much couped up at home. No driving around, no silly purchases at Target, no quick stops at McDonald's, just driving only to work and grocery shopping. With no where to go, I haven't had any blog worthy outfits to post, unless you find Minnie Mouse onsies exciting. Yesterday, I was able to get out of the house to do some last minute Thanksgiving shopping. I wore my favorite lace oxblood dress with cream polka dot tights and a few of my favorite bracelets. I'm obsessed with these tights and have been trying to come up with many outfit ideas which will allow me to wear them more often.

Some of the jewelry worn here was from my great grandmother, Lenore. She had fabulous taste and I feel honored to wear some of her pieces. It's my way of continuing her legacy.

Chunkylicious

Over this weekend I visited Farm Basket and had a blast! It's my new favorite spot to enjoy lunch and scenic backyard view. I wore my favorite chunky green sweater with my new Forever21 blue skinny jeans. What I love about the blue pants are the sequin back pockets, darling little glam detail!

Pitch Black

Last night I went to my first haunted house of the season. I love being scared, it's such a thrill to not know what's going on and where you're going, especially if the pitch black walls are getting narrower and narrower. That's fun in my book!

I wore my Forever 21 thrift find faux leather skirt which was only $3.50, I'm good!  Knowing I was going to be standing outside for a good hour, I threw on my $5 faux leather jacket from last year. Get this, I got it from Wal-Mart. Sometimes you just never know when you might find something good.

I Found Them

I mentioned before how hard it was for me to find a well fitted faux leather skinnies. Well, I finally found them! While on my trip to visit my family, I dropped on by the local Forever 21 (LOVE that store) and found these. The skinnies aren't all leather, only the front side, but the fit, style, and cut is just right. I found a wonderful woven cream and black blouse with faux leather collar and sleeve cuff to complement the skinnies.

I also got this cute oxblood lace dress and two pairs of tights, one in off white with polka dots and the second black with hearts. When I saw the polka dotted tights, I instantly thought of blogger Keiko Lynn and her outfit. Now I'm all set for autumn and can't wait to wear the new pieces!
