I was going through my jewelry box and found these. The first necklace from charlotte russe was only $5! Heck of a steal. Being home from college has given me the opportunity to look at everything I was missing out on wearing. I mean it's not like I can throw on a statement necklace with nikes and a tee. My newest and favorite buy at the moment are the earring with the turquoise. For a while now I have been searching for earring with turquoise and I've finally got the perfect pair!

Down in The Caribbean

St. Lucia 

Ghiradelli White Chocolate Mocha

Showing off the Diamond Rug Swim Bottoms in Barbados. 

Spent a wonderful 9 days visiting Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, and St. Maarten. My favorite place was St. Maarten. We visited there over a year ago and fell in love, so we decided to visit again. All of my pictures are from all of the ports, and from a few excursions that we took, while we were there. I didn't get the chance to take any outfit pictures because we were always on the go, and the temperature was beyond hot. But I will be putting some up when I get home. This was my last vacation with my family before I leave for college. It was well spent, and I will always remember spending this amazing time with them. Enjoy the last few weeks of summer.

Day One: Puerto Rico

 A view from the plane, leaving ATL, headed towards San Juan, Puerto Rico. 

 In the taxi, headed to the hotel. Wearing a super comfortable tank top from Forever21 and as usual carrying my LV. Love.

 A monument in Town Square. This picture can't explain the beauty of Puerto Rico. It's truly a sight to see. The weather isn't too bad. A bit humid and hot, but other then that it's so incredible. 

 Downtown in an Alley. (my dad in the yellow waving, ha.)

 The most delicious yogurt and berries I've ever tasted. Strawberries, blueberries, and grapes covered in granola and drizzled honey on top. Oh my gosh, yum. 

 This is a darling cup of Ghirardelli Chocolate Mocha. As you can tell, with the chocolate spelling in the drink. I promise you, if you are ever in Puerto Rico and want something so tasty. This IS the drink you will need to try. It's not too chocolaty, but still gives you that rich Ghirardelli taste.

Enjoy the last few weeks of summer, do something special, try something different. Life is way too short.

Attention All Blondes: Purple Shampoo

A few weeks ago I got my hair ombre'd, and my hair stylist told me when I got my hair cut that I need to use something that will not only protect my hair, but will keep the blonde in as well. She showed me this fabulous product called "Purple Shampoo". At first I thought, well this is just one of those things they're trying to make money off of and something I will never use. But I have used this product 3x and I can already see a difference. At first I was a tad bit nervous using it, but I promise you, no matter what type of purple you use, it will not ruin your hair. A good purple shampoo should be a dark purple, not a light purple, and also should not be transparent. If you decide to start using purple, use it maybe twice a week and if you still find that your blonde has a brassy look to it then you can start using it every time you shower. If you're blonde all over, let the purple soak into the root and then run it through the ends, and then rinse. If you're not a blonde but have blonde or lighter colored highlights on hair that is darker, you'll want to only apply purple to the hair that is colored, again to get rid of that brassy coloring. If you are looking for a great purple shampoo, I would definitely look into this one. It's not too pricey either. I got mine for about 21 dollars, and it has been worth every penny. Make sure to pick it up at your next hair appt.

This is another product that I recently discovered on my own, that you can find at your local grocery store in the hair department. This is actually apart of the Organix line. It's a simple leave-in mist that you can spray in after your shower or to even calm those fly aways. I always use this after my shower and it leaves my hair silky smooth, plus it has an incredible smell. So, let me tell you why you need this.. It miraculously: detangles, protects from thermal damage, prevents color fade, moisturizes, de-frizzes, and adds body, softness, and shine. What more could you ask for? Now let me tell you how you should use it.. Lightly mist all over clean towel dried hair (or spray in the palm of your hand and run your hands through your hair) and style as you normally would. Do not rinse. 

I'm always up to try new things, let me know what your fav products are. 

Silver Seed Clothing // Southwestern

My newest purchase has been with Silver Seed Clothing and it was truly a delight. The whole team helped make sure my swimsuit bottoms got to me and in a timely matter. I wanted to support Sara with her new collab with SS so found this jem in her collection. They came all nicely sealed in a shiny silver packaging, and it took less than a week. I was a tad bit nervous ordering the size I did, but they fit like a glove. I would say that they are pretty true to size. The price is reasonable and well worth it, because the design is so unique and the material is great.  I love them so much already, and can't wait to get to the beach in Florida to rep them. These should be a must have in your summer.

ATX

This week I traveled to Austin, Texas to visit my roommates, and let me tell you I found some fabulous finds. I didn't snap all of them but I wanted to share a few of my favorites in one post.   

These circular sunnies are to die for. I personally never thought that those particular style of sunglasses would be so cute on. Surprisingly, these circular sunnies are extremely in right now, so why not add a little bling to those bad boys and you're good to go.

 Now, if you love big necklaces like me, you would've gone coo coo for this one. In a picture its gorgeous, but in person its jaw dropping. Even though it looks heavy to wear, it was shockingly not quite heavy at all. Definitely a one of a kind piece.

 Next I found these precious yellow and floral lace shorts. I have never seen such a pair of shorts so dainty and so lovely before in my life. The color yellow is perfect right now for the summer and the lace gives it a softer look, definitely a win in my eyes. 

The top that I am shown wearing was so beautiful. You can't see because my necklace is in the way, but there is a "V" cut slit which gave the shirt kind of a scandalous look but kept the class. The same cut is in the back but clasps at the top with a button. I also thought mixing the two prints with my shorts and top looked kind of fun.

The next picture is the interior of a store we visited called Strut. If you're every in ATX, you for sure need to stop by and check this store out! The pricing is reasonable, I'd say between Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters.

   And finally, the last picture is from this delicious restaurant called Hopdoddys. I personally don't care for burgers, but if you do, you will find yourself in Burger Heaven. I got the Caesar Salad. Definitely not your average Caesar, but I will for sure be back for it again. That was my adventure in Austin, hope summer is well, and remember to stay adventurous.
