Here's my June wish list, broken down into 3 must have outfits I know I'll wear this month. The first outfit include beautiful ocean and seaside colors. The lace dress and its juicy tones is darling for a night out and I love the shades. I wish I didn't have to wear prescription glasses because I would buy those sunglasses in every color imaginable!
The second outfit is what I would wear to the beach or my apartment's pool. I'm obsessed with lemon print and the color yellow so naturally, I created this! I want the bathing suit sooo freaking badly!! I would order a similar one off of online but my body is so tricky and I need to try things on plus I hate the hassle of returning and shipping, too much work for my lazy ass.
The last outfit is for the summer thunderstorms. Do you get excited about summer storms like me? There's just something about the sweet smell of the air and how the rain breaks humidity, makes me swoon, just like this cool ass umbrella. The red umbrella matches my red rain boots and I love the style, it's retro glam. The vintage crop top and cross patterend shorts are my eye candy. I'm not a regular shorts wearer but I'd wear that!
With less than a month until Summer officially starts, I'm sure that squats, treadmills, sports bras, weights, crunches, and more are all on your mind. I know they're on my mind especially with my goal to minimize my love handles. Today on this week's Swimsuit Guide Series, we're going to talk about short and effective toning techniques that'll help you become bathing suit ready in a few weeks.
I'm a huge fan of Tone It Up, an international community of women, of all ages, inspiring and

Here are my favorite videos that sure will make you feel sore the next day, whittle down your waist, and tone your entire body.
Music is very suggestive and the right upbeat song can push you to run another mile while a tired old playlist shuffle can be boring and unmotivating. Update your playlist with these songs that I personally workout to. Hopefully they'll keep you pumped up and fantasizing about beaches and tropical getaways.
Now let's move on to what to where when working out. Not only do you need to where active wear clothing for support and wicking away moisture but also to feel good about yourself by looking fabulous.
With less than 30 days until Summer, let's do this! We can help get our body and self esteem into tip top shape with effective toning techniques, cute activewear, and upbeat motivating tunes.
P.S. Tomorrow's post is featuring fun trends and patterns, cute accessories, and fab sandals for swimswuit season!
Sometimes when I'm feeling uninspired on the blog I'll head to one of my favorite go-to posts, which is the Monthly Wish List. My wish lists are what I long for in my closet if I didn't live on a budget. I would buy these fabulous new pieces and wear the hell out of them all season long.
This month I'm really into light bright colors like creamy yellow and stark white. My forever obsession with polka dots are still strong as ever but I threw in a pair of striped shoes because I like the nautical look. Isn't the cutout dress darling? It's so easy to dress up or dress down, the mesh chest is very sexy, and the cutout design is everywhere in 2013!
It's been roughly 6 weeks since my jaw reconstructive surgery and I've been given the clear by the docs to start up my exercising again which is great because summertime is fastly approaching. Swimsuits are filling up stores, diet tips, and exercises are filling up my pinterest, so I might as well get on board with the nation's annual Spring health kick. I even went out and bought some more fruit and veggies and didn't look at the ice cream isle, which used almost all my willpower itself ;)
I signed up for Tone It Up's freeBikini Series which includes 8 weeks of workout plans, uplifting exercise videos, prizes, much need motivation, nutritional tips, recipes, and much more! Tone It Up is run by best friends, Karena and Katrina, and have been titled "New Faces of Fitness" by Jane Fonda and Marie Claire names them the ‘Power Duo".
Besides trying to get my sweat on and my lazy ass off the computer (sometimes even putting on my sports bra is a mental hassle!), window shopping at cute summer clothes helps fuel my motivation. Check out my picks!
Thanks for your patience, I know I announced this post on Monday and it's now Friday, my bad! I began the Chic, Cute, and Cheap series for the spring season and I really enjoyed finding easy to find fashion items for a price of $25 or less. With summer in full bloom, I think it's about time that Chic, Cute, and Cheap focus on the hottest months and how we gals can find affordable, classic yet trendy pieces. I focused more on color, fun patterns, and light fabric. I hope you'll find some wallet friendly inspiration.
