5-a-days! - Dress For Less!

Things under $10~

Stretch Satin Skirt
Forever 21

$7

I like skirts with the big elastic waistband and this one comes in a really pretty teal colors. It also looks really bright and sheer.  This is also probably the cheapest thing in this post, and that just shows what a good find this is. Uh, not much more can be said besides it's a pretty and simple skirt.

Silhouette Floral Fullfoot Tight

Urban Outfitters
$9.99

Urban Outfitters has a bunch of tights for $9.99, so you should definitely check it out if you're looking for some. I chose this one because the floral lace design was really different and it looks really nice with the black. This is also sheer and gives off a shine. The tights also come in nude.







Mini Sequin Beret
Wet Seal 

$4.99

Ok, I lied. This might be the cheapest thing in the entry. This is a really cute sequin beret that comes in red and silver. Both look really good and you can even get both. Wet Seal has like the most amazing sales ever because this was originally $14.50, and you will see that I chose more stuff from there because they really had nice stuff for less. This beret will just make you the center of attention. Wet Seal also has tons more accessories for $5.

Elastic Belt Satin Skirt

Wet Seal
$10

This is another elastic satin skirt except it is all black and it comes with a really cute belt with a ribbon and bead design. I really like how the skirt looks with the gathered bottom. There's also an invisible side zipper. This skirt would look really cute with a solid colored tank top and some dark tights and a headband or maybe a tee with heels. Wet Seal also has many more cute dressy skirts for $10.

Floral Halter Top
Wet Seal
$9.99

This is a really cute and cheap halter top from Wet Seal. I like the color of the purples and oranges in the top. There is a halter tie back and also a waist tie back. I also like how it has the black colorblock trim on the bottom and top. You can pair this with some cute jeans and wear it with a jacket and accessorize with cute necklaces and heels.







Done with thisssss. :) I was trying to keep everything under $10, but there were lots of really cute stuff for a few dollars more, so if you're working with a budget, you just have to look around. I'll try to work on another post tonight.

2 different looks! - Anthropologie Furniture 2/2

Modern/Unique

Bella Hothouse Bedding

Anthropologie

$58-$268

The second look is really bright, colorful, wacky, and unique. I don't really think it's for everyone, but if you can pull it off, it would look really nice and make people smile. This bedset is basically a bunch of colorful patterns stitched together. There's also a bedskirt and bolster that you can buy for this that wasn't in the other look. You can look online for all the prices because this one actually has all of them. I really like the bright colors and patterns.

Repeat Bloomer Bathmat

Anthropologie
$48

This bathmat has the same bright greens, oranges, and red from the bedsheets, so I consider those the primary colors of this look. I also think flowers play a large part (substituting for the birds in the other look.) This mat looks really soft and would really brighten up the bathroom. It would really be a mood-lifter, if you plan the rest of your bathroom around this mat, whenever you have to shower early in the mornings.



Sip-Of-Nectar Mug
Anthropologie
$12

This is a cute mug for whenever you want to drink tea or coffee. These colors just work really well together, and the flower design is lovely. There is also a cute design inside the cup. It comes in four colors: red, blue, green, and orange, and I believe that all four colors would work well with the look and heck, why not get all four? Very visually pleasing.

Blue Finches Dishtowel
Anthropologie
$18

So, this is just a dishtowel with a coral floral print and an applique of two birds on a branch, finished with pompom trims. It's really pretty and has a nice vintage feel. You can also use the towel for other things than washing dishes. It would look pretty in your kitchen and would be a nice piece because not really many people get designed dishtowels.

Astrid Chair, Naive Tropical
Anthropologie

$1,296

I believe this chair just ties everything together. The color, the floral pattern, and the armchair just creates a very unique antique look. It's really something that will make people stop in the tracks and appreciate it. Just something different and good to add to the look.







I hope you enjoyed that. :) I'll try to vary the type of posts I do from time to time. Follow & comment.

2 different looks! - Anthropologie Furniture 1/2

Classical/Traditional

Rosette Bedding

Anthropologie

$58-$268

I wanted to center both looks around a bedding, so the first look is more traditional and classical with the heather gray rosette quilting and shams. It also comes in a purple, charcoal, and ivory, but I think the gray looks the most elegant. I really love the petal pleats and the whole rosette theme. I don't get the whole pricing thing, but the queen quilt is $248 and the king quilt is $268.

Avian Scene Shower Curtain

Anthropologie

$98

Ahh, this is sooo cute and the black and white branches and flowers matches with the gray of the bedding, but it also has a little splash of colors in the parakeets. I also love the black ruffles at the hem of the curtains. It's really simple and nice, but also unique enough to make an impression.

Peacock Dinnerware

Anthropologie

$14-$20

Continuing with the whole neutral color scheme, mostly black and white, I found these really cute porecelain peacock dining plates. Three of them are peacocks, while one is just peacock feathers. This also continues with the bird theme from the shower curtains and provides consistency from room to room. They can also be hung around the house if you don't want to use them for dining. The collection includes a dining plate, salad plate, dessert plate, and bowl.

Topsy-Turvy Wallpaper
Anthropologie

$148

This is really cute wallpaper that stays with those natural colors and introduces soft greens, oranges, and yellows. It's really quirky because it features things such as birds and fishes kissing, jewels hanging from branches, and shells coming from leaves. There's still birds in this, so I guess you can say birds are one of the main themes in this look. It's really modern and wacky, but stays natural.

Hoot, Hoot Switchplate, Double

Anthropologie
$24

I love owls, so I obviously had to choose this as the lightswitch plate. It's also different because I've never really seen anyone with a unique switch plate. I chose the double, but they also have singles. This is just something cute and fun you can add to your room and it also goes with everything. Yeah, there's kind of a lot of birds, but hey, they're all different and unique, so that makes it ok.


Second look in the next post!

5-a-days! - WTF?

People actually wear this?

Spacecraft Milbury Mustache Mask

Urban Outfitters

$36

Uhm. What in the? I don't even know when someone would wear this. It's like a cross between a cartoon character and a burglar. How about no. There's probably a reason why this is online-only. And $36? Heck to the no. Oh, but the facial hair is interchangeable. I guess that's a plus...

Deena & Ozzy Faux Fur Hood

Urban Outfitters

$48

This is a little better than the first one, but really, when would you ever wear this? I mean, I like the whole faux fur thing, but even the fur is a nasty color. And the hood kinda makes you look like a lost bigfoot. No idea when this would ever look good with an outfit. Oh, but it looks warm. And $48? You know what I could do with $48? Buy something that doesn't make me look like a mess.

Nylon Spandex Micro-Mesh Long Sleeve Mini Dress

American Apparel
$42

What. The. Fuck.

H81 Chunky Yarn Poncho

Forever 21
$28.90

Ponchos are not cute, nor will they ever be. Ok, I've seen maybe one or two that looked actually decent, but until then, ponchos are a no-go. Especially this one. I mean, unless you're going for the aztec warrior look. Or maybe a little Peruvian camel hurder? In that case, go right ahead.

Cars - Exhausted Pipe

Ginch Gonch
$27

1. If you're a grown man, you should not be wearing tight border-line thong underwear.
2. If you're a grown man, you should not have cartoon designs or bright colors on your tight border-line thong underwear.
3. If you're a straight grown man wearing this, oh, who am I kidding? That's like me going to Catholic school. Some things will just never happen.

I love weird clothes. They make me happy.

5-a-days! - Guy Scarves

Scarves for him~

Imperial Motion Wilt Scarf

Urban Outfitters

$36

This is just a regular cotton scarf from Urban Outfitters. It looks very warm and toasty for winter! The black on one side and gray on the other is really pretty and adds contrast to the scarf. It's finished with a curled, stitched edge. So, yes, just a pretty simple scarf. It also comes in a cream and gray, but I like this better because I prefer dark colors on scarves. Btw, this is an online-only scarf, so if you want it, make sure you get it there.

Gauzy Grid Scarf

Heritage 1981

$12.90

Once again, Heritage 1981 wins at super cute stuff for super cheap prices. This is a pretty cotton/rayon scarf that is soft, but has a very sheer and fuzzy texture. The close up looks really cool and it's like a visual orgasm with the grids. This is the only color it comes in, but I really like the black, white and jade together and it just looks really, really pretty. I would totally get this. And the price is super cheap compared to others. It's also not as big and bulky as the first scarf, so it's just a simple little addition to your outfit.

Giant Check Scarf

Burberry

$295

Yeah, so $300 is expensive for a scarf, but this is from Burberry, which is luxury British fashion, so obviously it'd be expensive. Anyways, this is the famous distinctive tartan pattern of Burberry with the black, tan, and red "classic check." It's a really nice, simple design and if you want to get a luxury scarf, then why not get a Burberry one? It's easily recognized and the pattern and color is lovely. Oh yeah! The scarf is also cashmere, which is extremely soft and warm.

Half-Roll

Diesel

$40 $28

This is a cotton scarf from Diesel that I really like because it's simply black with the brand name going on the edge in bright colors, combining my love for dark scarves with bright colors! It also comes in a white with the same bright colored diesel on the side. Really cute. Make sure you take advantage of the 30% sale while it lasts! Really cheap price for a nice scarf.


The Unisex Circle Scarf
American Apparel
$28

Ahh! Now to what I really wanted to talk about. This is the scarf to ends all scarves. So, I didn't know circular scarves even existed until I saw one at American Eagle, but I see American Apparel took it even further. This scarf is described as being "versatile." Yes, well, that's exactly what it is because it can be worn thirteen different ways. One as a normal scarf, the other as a doubled scarf, both normal and simple. For both of those looks, you can also create a hood which gives a very dramatic look. You can also create a shawl of out of the scarf, again adding a hood if you'd like. There's the capelet design, which is a short cape that covers the shoulders. You can also use it as a figure-8 top, which is probably my favorite or as a skirt. There are also three very different dresses that you can create. The last look is just a headscarf. So, yes, this scarf = win. Totally worth every buck. Not to mention it comes in 19 different colors! My advice: getttttt it.

5-a-days! - Girl Necklaces

Necklaces for her~

Night Owl Necklace
Forever 21

$6.80

I love owl necklaces because they're always so cute! This one from Forever 21 is really pretty. I like how the head and body are hitched together with the two links in the middle. The two tone color palette with the gold also really goes well together and makes it really beautiful. Plus, it's really cheap for about seven dollars, so why not? Btw, this is a final sale and on Forever 21, you'll get free shipping for orders $75 or more!

Hasty Hatchling Necklace
Anthropologie

$298

This necklace is soooo cute! It's supposed to be an abstract ostrich and I just love necklaces like this because they're so creative and unique. The odd shapes and colors just makes it really cool and pretty, especially the dangly brass legs. It's sure to put a smile on people's faces. The only downside is that it's waaaay too expensive. I mean, it's really pretty and all, but $298 is like d-d-dayum.


Electric Koolade Wooden
Butterfly Necklace
Tarina Tarantino
$125

So, this necklace from Tarina Tarantino is really bold and large. I love the bright blues and greens, with the nice wooden background of the butterfly. I also like how the wood has different patterns and shades. The beads are a really nice addition and plus they're Swarovski crystals. The chain also has peace signs and hearts and more of the beading. The pricing is more reasonable for this necklace and it's totally worth it. It also comes in a pink/orange beading design.

 

Sea Charm Necklaces

Urban Outfitters
$24

These two necklaces from Urban are really lovely and I like the whole nautical theme behind them. The first is just a large anchor with a blue liferaft...looking thing (What are they called again?! Oh well, close enough.) in front of it. It's really just simple and nice. The second one is a sea-shell locket with a natural stone that adds just a little bit of layering and I loveee layered necklaces. They both have a relatively long link chain and a lobster claw clasp and is also extendible. It goes well with a nautical dress or just a black elastic waistband bubble skirt or wrap skirt and an over the shoulder top. Oh yeah, Urban Outfitters has free shipping for orders over $150!

We're All Mad Here

Etsy
User: UntamedMenagerie
$20

This is a really simple and nice necklace from etsy, where people can sell homemade items. Just a normal steel pendant with a silver chain and a lobster clasp. There are tons of cute items on etsy, so you should really check it out and support the general public. Also, I love Alice in Wonderland and the movie is coming out soon, so this makes a nice addition to your accessories.

Hope you enjoyed this. :) I'll try to make another blog tonight with guy's accessories. Comment & follow!

edit; haha, so after looking at this. i realized 3 out of 5 were animals. what can i say? i like cute animals. :)

5-a-days! - Cute Clothes

UO Marled Slouchy Beanie Urban Outfitters

$18


So lately, more people around school have been wearing beanies...er and/or berets. (Does anyone know the difference between them?) and I think when you pair them with a cute outfit, it makes it even better. Slouched beanies are my favorite because I love the little droop in the back.


This beanie from Urban is really cute, even though most of them look the same and you can find cute ones virtually anywhere, but the knitting of this one gives more openings and shows more of your hair underneath. This also comes in three neutral colors and a soft aqua, but I really like the pink because lots of people wear the neutral colors and it could make your outfit pop.


Oh, and this was in the girl's section, but I totally want one because guy beanies are kinda iffy and they don't really have the slouched beanie, but I'm sure the girl ones work unisex.


First Date Navy Guys
Johnny Cupcakes
$35.99


This shirt is totally amazing and I want to get it in the future. First of all, the company is Johnny Cupcakes and they usually have their name all over the clothing. (My name is Johnny. Make the connection. Hah. I'm totally not vein.) Second, this saying is really cute and I love the big font and design of it.


The only downside is that they only have three stores, so most people have to buy it online and this shirt is only available in L and XL. Another downside is that they had the shirt in bright yellow and I loveddd it. Bright colors are a plus to me, but I'm guessing they sold out since it's not on their website anymore. However, I would totally get this shirt though if they had it in my side because navy is a nice color. Yeah, it's a little costly for a t-shirt but it looks like it's worth the money since it's unique and interesting.

Abstract Night Tee

Heritage1981
$15.90


Heritage1981 has the best graphic tees for guys ever. Not to mention they're mainly around $15, which I think is a totally good deal for a good shirt. I have a bunch of tees from Heritage too and they're all really nice and cool. (Not to mention all the air time they get. Mercedes from Glee. Gev from So You Think You Can Dance.)


This tee has three men in suits and lots of bright neon colors with the saying "the city will be ours by night fall." So, it's pretty unique and all anarchy-theme looking. Other than that, it's just a normal graphic tee!

Genes Zip Snap Hoodie
Urban Outfitters
$58

This hoodie is absolutely amazing and so unique looking. I like the neutral heather gray and it's something you can wear with anything. I also like the asymmetrical zipper with the snap neck button. In the second picture, you can see the hood which has this cool buckle strap design. Loveeee it. It also has a bondage look to it with the little straps and stuff around the hood. I'd totally get it and I'm considering ordering it online. It's also a really nice deal for $58 and I mean, who else would have something like this? Not to mention that hoodies are my guilty pleasure and I have tons of them.

Jinny Floral Knit Dress

Forever 21
$22.80

Hah, so I wanted to do a dress to be versatile and such. This dress is really cute and I love the floral print. It's not too crazy or dramatic and it really goes well with the cream fabric. And I love the cream color because it's looks really natural, neutral and easy on the eyes, but with a splash of color from the flowers. It comes with an elastic belt that's removable, so you can wear it cinched up or just free. There's also a round neckline, so it sits nicely on the shoulders and it's just an overall nice casual dress.

So, those are five pieces that I happen to like and I wanted to share with you guys. :) Feel free to comment and such. Oh, and this is something I'm going to do daily or I'll try to do so make sure to come back.
