Comfy and cute loungewear – At home style

April 17, 2020 by Olivia

– Loungewear –

When you’re stuck at home, there is not much to do but to wear cute and comfy loungewear. You seriously just feel better when you’re put together.

One day, my roommate, Cara and I were chatting before bed and just got on the topic of cute and comfy loungwear while we’re in quarantine. It feels like tie dye blew up overnight and everyone suddenly “needed” it. I feel like every store started selling comfy and cute loungewear. It was a message from above (not exactly….) to buy loungwear. So here we are, with a loungewear post.

I’ve always been a t-shirt and shorts kinda girl around the house or as my go to look for pajamas. Not anymore. Now I’m like OK how can I look descent at home?! Even when school was in session, I’d rather wear jeans than leggings. Obviously, I’m not going to wear jeans around the house, so now I’m all for the comfy and cute look.

I feel like I’ve found the best loungewear. Not to toot my own horn, but trust me, you’re going to want this all.

So first, there are loungewear sets. I’m all about the sets. You just feel so put together.

Here are my favorites:

Tie-dye sets are so popular right now. Tie-dye pieces are selling out so fast, everyone is trying to get their hands on a tie-dye set. I just feel like they’re so trendy right now but are going to die out. I may be 100% wrong, but I’ve been turning to the DYI bleach route of tie-dying. We took oversized black pullovers from Amazon and bleached them and they came out so good!

A local boutique by me in New Jersey has been blowing up online lately. If you’re local, you’ve heard of Hazel Boutique. They have oversized sweatshirts that are so perfect for being at home. They scream comfy, cute loungewear. I just purchased the two below.

Casual outfit for day and night

August 18, 2019 by Olivia

Two posts back I said I’d have the details on the casual outfit I wore on my night out in Jersey City.

That day, I was going back and forth for awhile on what to wear out. My other option was a pair of girlfriend jeans, a simple white cami bodysuit and a pair of bright red mules, for a fun pop of color.

I decided on wearing white jeans, a beige crop top and black espadrilles. I paired this casual outfit with a straw bag (reminded me of a mini picnic basket) and I tied a leopard printed scarf around the bag. The reason I chose this casual outfit and not the other look was because I can only wear white jeans for so long (and I LOVE white jeans). I had to take advantage of the fact that it was still summer and I could wear white jeans. In a few weeks it’ll be fall and I’ll no longer be able to wear my favorite white denim out at night sheds tears. This outfit is great too because it works both during the day or night.

When I’m going for a night time look I love a curled midi ponytail. I think if I was wearing this outfit during the day I would’ve kept my hair down, but for some reason the updo strikes me as a good night look.

The top is from a local boutique called Lucki Clover. I’m pretty sure you can order off of their Instagram. Click here to shop their Instagram! Lucki Clover is one of my favorite boutiques. I rarely go to the mall now because I find everything I need at Lucki Clover. I’m not alone in loving this store, my Connecticut roomies will visit and one of the first things they want to do is go to Red Bank and shop at Lucki Clover.

I’ve talked about these white jeans before and I’m talking about them again. I found these stretchy, high waisted white jeans from MARSHALLS. Like what?!! I never expected to find my favorite jeans there but I did. Usually, stretchy jeans start off fitted, but then overtime over stretch and become too big. NOT THESE. I’ll post the brand of them once I get home. I highly recommend them!

The cross body was my friend Jess’s. I have the circle straw bag, but I didn’t bring it with me on this trip. I loved her bag because the strap was white, matching the jeans and again, it reminded me of a little picnic basket. These straw like bags are one of the biggest summer trends and it has been for the past two summers. To add something to the outfit and tie it all together, I used one of my hair scarves that had the beige, white and black coloring.

Transitioning from summer to fall fashion

July 31, 2019 by Olivia

Don’t shoot the messenger but fall is just about to be here. This means fall fashion trends are just starting up. Before we know it, we will be putting away the two piece swimsuits and pulling out the sweaters.

Fall is my favorite season AND my favorite season to dress for. I’m already eyeing some pieces and scoping out upcoming fall fashion trends.

The pieces I’ve been eyeing are good pieces as you transition from summer to fall. These amazon prime joggers actually popped up as an advertisement on my instagram. I loved them! These joggers make for a perfect transitional piece from summer to fall. The material seems to be lightweight, airy and the color is a warm light beige. This color is a fall and summer staple. Joggers don’t seem to be going out of style anytime soon, so yes, I consider them a fall fashion trend.

Mini hand bags are coming in, CALLING IT NOW! This isn’t necessarily a fall fashion trend, but it can be! Especially if the color of the bag is warm toned. Lauren Elizabeth (an influencer) posted with a white mini, vintage like purse on Instagram. I thought it was so cute! Now, I’m seeing them everywhere, especially at TopShop and Zara. This bag instantly caught my eye. The light pink color is my favorite, and the tortoise detailing is a simple touch, perfect for fall. The mini bag comes with a strap if you want to use it as a cross body too. This piece is definitely an acquired taste, but I’m loving this bag for fall (without the strap). It’s my favorite fall fashion piece, as of right now.

fall fashion trends — Beige lightweight joggers | Mini pink purse | Tortoise heeled sandals | Satin green romper | Pink Apple Watch band | Girlfriend lightwash jeans

I’ve always been a huge tortoise fan. I love the neutrals tones in it. I’m in love with these heeled sandals. The tortoise mixed with the black screams fall to me. Yes, they’re sandals, but you can definitely get away with wearing these to a dressier/night event in the fall season. They’re a close second to the mini purse when it comes to fall fashion trends I’m eyeing! Also noticing that strappy heeled sandals in general are becoming a popular fashion trend. With this summer fashion trend being neon everything, I’ve seen a bunch of heeled strappy sandals. Heading back to school soon, I know I don’t need these tortoise heeled sandals (heels get super dirty at college FYI) but UGH.

Rompers are ALWAYS a good bet for any occasion. As I’m transitioning into fall I still want to wear rompers but because we’re headed into a new season I think the key is to buy darker colored rompers. Darker colored rompers are more fall like than if I bought a bright pink romper (you know what I mean?). I also love how this romper has a bit of a sleeve to it, it makes for a great transitional piece from summer to fall. I love the satiny finish to this romper and think you could dress it up or down by playing w accessories. The color of this romper and the length of the sleeves makes it a great transitional fall piece.

This Apple Watch band, is so cute! It doesn’t necessarily scream fall fashion trend but it could be one depending what you style it with. I’ve never seen a pink acrylic band but I love this. It dresses up your Apple Watch, but if you like the more casual band with every outfit, then this probably isn’t for you. Getting the links taken out could be annoying, so something to take into consideration.

So I’ve been EYEING the Levi light colored 501 skinny jeans for awhile. But, right now, I don’t feel like spending $98 on a pair of jeans. I know it’s not too bad of a price because jeans last a long time, but listen, I wear dark unripped jeans 98.9 percent of the time. It’s just more my style, but when I go out at school, I tend to either go for black jeans or I’ll want light colored jeans with a few, tasteful rips. So I found what I think to be the perfect dupe for the Levi 501 skinny jeans, this pair from Abercrombie look pretty similar! I just bought them, they came in the mail today and I LOVE them. 10 out of 10. They’re perfect for fall because jeans are ALWAYS a fall fashion trend.

Swimwear guide

July 22, 2019 by Olivia

Summer is in FULL swing. I honestly don’t remember it ever being this hot in New Jersey. With it being July, I thought it was appropriate to do a swimwear guide and show you some of my current, affordable swimwear favorites.

So last year, high waisted bathing suit bottoms were just coming into style and becoming popular. This year, high waisted bathing suit bottoms are the it trend for swimwear.

Last year, I think the it trend were one pieces. I love both, I think they’re both flattering for every body type too.

I think style wise, always go for the style you’re most comfortable in, whether that be your traditional two piece, high waisted bottoms or a one piece. But, then play with prints and patterns to bring yourself a little out of your comfort zone.

I chose my favorites in my swimwear guide based off what I’m comfortable in. I LOVE leopard, it’s a huge fashion trend right now. On a bathing suit I love the print even more. Right now, I’m also loving the high waisted bottoms. You’ll see that all through out my swimwear guide.

CURRENT SWIMWEAR FAVORITES:

Leopard print bikini

Striped pastel swimsuit

Green swimsuit

Tan tie front bikini

Sometimes, people think one pieces are covering up your body. Today, they have so many cool and different one pieces to choose from. But, I love the simple ones with patterns, it makes the swimsuit so fun. I love the pastel swimsuit above that’s apart of my current swimwear favorites because it’s girly, yet comfortable. I love the pastel colors in it!

Below I have pictures apart of my swimwear guide from a recent trip to Long Beach Island. And surprise, one is my Mom’s bathing suit from the 80’s. It’s crazy how styles come back in, I love it. It’s one of my favorite bathing suits now.

You’ll also see me in leopard, shocker.. I love the leopard bikini bottoms in the pictures below, the bottoms are from Nasty Gal. Nasty Gal is one of my favorite places to buy swimwear. They have a great selection of different styles and sizes are always in stock! It’s a win, win situation.

Hair accessories are HUGE right now. So of course I added hair accessories to my swimwear guide. Forever 21, francesca’s and H&M have the best affordable hair accessories that I’ve seen. I’ll have a blog post guide with affordable accessories soon. Adding an accessory can change the entire look of an outfit or a swimsuit.

You’ll see because I’m wearing a black bikini top, I took the print from the bottoms into my hair accessory. This way, there is not too much leopard. But, simple hair scarfs without a print are great too. They add just a little something more. Definitely play with accessories and incorporate them into your swimwear!

These Nasty Gal bikini bottoms are $8 dollars right now!

Summer outfit for a daytime party

June 20, 2019 by Olivia

I wore this summer outfit to a graduation party during the day and thought it was super fitting for the occasion. I think this is a great outfit for a summer afternoon lunch or just hanging out with family and friends.

White jeans are ALWAYS my go to for a casual summer outfit, most tops pair really well with white jeans too. I think being tan in a pair of white jeans makes a huge difference too. I actually got my white jeans from Marshalls. I didn’t think they’d carry the perfect white jean but they did! I deffinitely recommend checking out your Marshalls for a pair of stretchy, fitting, high-waisted pair of white jeans or for any summer outfit.

OK I’m such a cheap person, majority of my friends know this. I HATE spending money and never buy anything without looking at the price tag first, especially when it comes to seasonal summer outfits. I was so drawn to the simplicity of this green top. It’s delicate, yet fitting and had really cute detailing. Yes, I spent $40 dollars on a tank top. I realized after and was like eh whatever. That’s SO unlike me but I’m happy I kept the top because I’ve been wearing it a bunch and its been my go to summer outfit! It’s from a boutique called Lucki Clover. Lucki Clover has the best pieces to make a casual summer outfit. You can order off their Instagram!

I don’t mind spending too much money on outfits. When it comes to accessories, I try not to spend as much. I do this because accessories frequently change for me depending on the trend. I love statement earrings but you will not catch me spending $50 on a pair of fun earrings that go with maybe five outfits in my closet. That’s when I look to Shein. Most of my statement earrings are from there. This straw bag (which I’ve been eyeing since last summer) I finally bought. I’m obsessed with it! The best part is that this straw bag was only $25 dollars from Shein, so I won’t be having buyers remorse.

My apple watch band is from Target, I really wanted a beige/light pink band that goes with every outfit and of course my staple and go to ray-bans.
