Contrary to popular belief, Las Vegas DOES get cold. Although for some people that may be a hard concept grasp, us Vegas locals DO own thick coats, gloves, hats and boots. However, it isn't until November or December that we really start to feel the chill in the air...
Read MoreThe art of thrifting is a quality I deeply admire. I have many friends who find their best threads at their local Salvation Army, Good Will, Buffalo Exchange, or Plato's Closet. It's in these places they find hidden gems that are only half the cost (or less) than the retail price it was originally sold.They walk out of a thrift store looking like a million bucks and it's amazing to me ! *Que Thirft Shop by Macklemore* Although I admire my friends' talents, I kind of get intimidated walking in to these places because there's just SO MUCH to go through...
Read MoreYou all know that I love dresses ! Short dresses, long dresses, floral dresses, colored dresses... you name it. So when I saw this black and white striped maxi dress over at Patty's Closet, I just knew I had to try it on. I usually don't wear stripes because one, black and white stripes remind me of Beetlejuice. Two, if you have a curvy figure, it can accentuate your figure even more, and sometimes in a bad way! Although I love my body, sometimes I get a bit skeptical to wear anything that shows off how curvy I really am. Since I'm so short and I wear flowy tops/dresses a majority of the time, some people think I'm stick thin, when in all actuality that's not the case. LOL. I'm not fat or too skinny, but just right in the middle of the two. Still, a girl can't help feel a bit self conscious...
Read MoreOne of the coolest things about fashion is seeing how different pieces can mix together. I love taking something a bit casual and matching it with something that's a little more dressed up. So when I went to Patty's Closet's Rainbow and Windmill location, I saw this jean skirt (yes, A JEAN SKIRT) and knew exactly what I was going to pair it with. Instead of a regular t-shirt or tank. I wanted to wear the skirt with a dressier top and heels. And WA-LAH! I bring you today's Fashion Favorites entry...
Read MoreIf there's one look I without a doubt, seriously for real, absolutely, with all my heart know I CANNOT pull off, it's the ever trending romper. Rompers have been my nemesis since I first tried one on in a dressing room at Francesca's a few months ago. It made me look gumpy and it made me look really short and big. I think you have to have a certain body shape to effortlessly pull off a romper, and being 5'2 with a curvy figure doesn't help. (Note: That's just my opinion for myself and how I looked. Not saying other curvy short girls couldn't pull off the look.) But to my surprise, I saw a romper at Patty's Closet, thought, "What the heck?" and tried it on. I was amazed at how nice the romper actually looked on me...
Read MoreTo be honest, I don't really shop too much (as I previously mentioned in my last entry). But when I do find something I like, I make the investment. So when I walked into Patty's Closet on Rainbow and Windmill the other week, I was surprised to find that I wanted to buy everything! Literally gushing to myself about how cute everything was, I just knew I had to buy SOMETHING...
Read MoreYou know what's the best part of shopping? A sale ! I'm sure everyone can relate to that, especially if you love shopping for clothes. Even though I'm a fashion student, it doesn't mean I shop all the time. A splurge for me is when I actually go shopping. LOL! But with summer setting in here in Vegas and with having a bit more free time, I make more of an effort to check out what things I can add to my closet. This dress is a great find from Wetseal. I know that store is more for juniors, but it doesn't hurt to look and see what kind of stuff they have, especially since I'm only 5'2. [#Funsized ;) ]...
