Monthly Cravings: August

I can’t believe it’s August already! Where did the year go? But I’m not one to be complaining for this month since it is….my birthday month! I still have no idea what I want to do or what I’m going to wear, but I do know a few things that are already on the birthday list!

First thing: Borrowing from the boys. (Sorta) As you can tell, Topshop has all the jackets I want. Take a look at that cargo and leather jacket! I was in love with the Zara one last season, but never got myself to spend the money on it. Even though I already have a cargo jacket, one is not enough. It’s a huge trend this upcoming fall season! I’ve been looking into maybe buying a vintage one and having a little fun with it.

My love for Fall clothes is so great, but unfortunately in Miami you have a slim to no chance of ever getting to wear all the beautiful styles. But that doesn’t stop me, I will sacrifice and try to cram it all in those spurts of cold weather! (It’s what I usually do) So for this season, I’m praying for some cold weather to come to Miami for just a little bit!

I’m not only craving cargo jackets this month, in case you were wondering. Here’s what else is at the top of my birthday wish list:

July Cravings

It’s Summer! Other than the usual cravings for the beach, vacation, and a whole mess of bikinis – I’ve got 4 major cravings for this month.

1- It’s always been a norm of mine to always purchase a clutch at random times, because you never know when you’re REALLY going to need one. But this month, I’m really craving the minaudière, or in more ‘normal terms’: the Fancy Clutch. I’ve got my eye on a select few ranging from steal, to splurge, to casual and crazy. (1 – Rebecca Minkoff, 2 – Target (It’s actually a pack of 2!), 3 – Forever21)

2 – A pair of my favorite sandals just broke, so I’m on the lookout for another pair. And it seems like these TopShop Leopard Sandals are going to do the trick for me! It’s always fun to add a hint of leopard to any kind of outfit.

3 – Sneakers. I love sneakers, always and forever. I’m really really craving a hidden wedge sneaker, similar to the Isabel Marant kind. There are many brands coming out with sneakers now, but I haven’t found “the one” yet. Promise to keep you updated! I’m also really into running shoes, even though I really don’t do much of that. But these polka dotted pair from Nike really have my attention! (Maybe it will get me to start running again? haha!)

4 – More DIY Projects. I really want to create a flower crown & add some glitter to a pair of booties I have. Other than leopard, glitter is a good touch to add!

June Cravings

– I’m dying to try out Essie’s brand new metallics collection! I first found out about it via Pinterest and fell in love right away. I used to never be a fan of metallic nail polishes, but It’s all I’ve been craving lately. I’m sure a fresh and shiny manicure will compliment this Target clutch beautifully.

– With Summer right around the corner, it’s time to stock up on fun dresses that can go from Day to Night in minutes. Motel Rocks has just what I’m looking for! Let’s not forget about that one-piece suit from ASOS- That can go from day to night too. Pair it with a wide leg jean, wavy hair, and a statement earring like these and you’re good to go for the night!

– No matter what the month, there’s always two things I’m craving: shoes and jewelry. This month I’ve got TopShop’s hidden heeled sneakers & sky high platform wedges on my mind. Dainty necklaces from Dogeared and stackable rings from Michael Kors also have my heart this June.

– Peplum!!! Even though that statement could stand alone, I can’t stop there. I’d love to pair it with this belt from ASOS.

What are your June cravings?

May Cravings: Just Add Water

It’s bikini season baby! (You wouldn’t think so with all this crazy rain in Miami) Time to stock up on new styles and look fabulous this summer. You know me, I’m a bargain hunter. So my first bet was Target (commonly pronounced: taaaahr-shjaaaay). With prices at 15 a piece and styles that resemble brands like Maya Swimwear, Mikoh, and Vix — how could you not want to buy everything?

Here are my favorites:

solids

You can never go wrong with solids. (think: mix-n-match, standing out with the pop of color, and attention grabbing details)

[from top left – right: multi color (splurge: Mikoh), blue bandeau, pink ruffle (splurge: Maya), fuchsia fringe, taupe ‘nd turquoise (splurge: Vix), purple tassels.]

bandeau

The bandeau beautés.

[from top left – right: coral contrast, b/w ruffles, blue medallion, floral stripes, scuba suit, pyramids]

 

ruffles prints

More prints and more ruffles. The styles by themselves are full of life and guaranteed to grab your attention.

[from top left – right: floral ruffles (on sale!), watercolor print, classic vintage, tie dye ruffles, print-blocking ruffles, nautical stripes]

April Cravings: Blue VS Pink

The ultimate color war: Blue VS Pink. I remember growing up, this color war was very evident between my sister and I. Anything and everything that was blue, you knew it was mine. And if it was pink, it was my sisters. Even our lip glosses! It was the funniest thing. Thinking about those days bring back smiles. But here today, I bring you a different kind of smile. The one you can’t help. The one that comes when you found that perfect thing that describes your Spring staple. I have yet to define my Spring “must have”, but I’ve narrowed it down to two colors. (Here’s a little foreshadowing for ya.) In exactly one month I’ll be graduating! And one of these colors is what I’ll be prancing in that evening. Can you guess which one?
