2015 Favorites: Part 3! Fashion ,Lifestyle, TV & Music!

Untitled #20


Welcome to My last 2015 Favorites post!
Basically, this one will cover everything that isn't, beauty, makeup, or skincare related!
First, I'm going to start off with fashion!
Those of you that prefer the lazy approach to fashion might find this category interesting considering I hardly ever sacrifice comfort for fashion. Comfort is always my number one priority! If its cute, thats an added bonus. lol

  • Ava + Viv Wrap Dresses- For those of you who dont know, Ava + Viv is a plus-size brand sold at Target. These dresses were probably the most worn items in my closet this year. They are so versatile and comfortable! They can easily be dressed up or worn casually.The fabric is stretchy & breathable. The wrap dress silhouette is probably the most flattering silhouette I've ever worn. I cant say enough positive things about these dresses. I bought one with a green leafy looking pattern on it and a black patterned one and basically wore them all summer & fall. They put out long sleeved ones for the chillier months and I bought those too. lol I'm seriously addicted to these dresses. They are the perfect effortless item you can just throw on in a hurry! I LOVE THEM!!!!
  • Steve Madden Black Brandos- basically its a Birkenstock look alike and I got mine on sale at Macy's. I wore these with my Ava + Viv dresses. They are so soft and comfy & they have held up well considering how much I've worn them!
  • Lane Bryant No Wire Cooling Bra- I normally wouldn't post about underwear lol, but as a plus-size girl, I know it can be hard to find the perfect bra. Especially, if your not into under-wire. So, I feel like someone might find this information helpful because most people would automatically assume that a plus size woman needs the support of under wire because a lot of bras will lack support without the wire, but that is not the case with this bra! It supports everything that it should, it supports the back nicely, & it keeps you cool. Its the most comfortable bra I've ever worn & they have a cute selection of colors and patterns! 
  • Torrid Lace Bralettes- This is another item that can be tricky to find if your plus size. These come in a gazillion colors & are very supportive for a bralette. 
  • My Earthbound Sunglasses- I'm not sure if I put these in my last year's favorites post, but they are still my favorite sunglasses. I get so many compliments on them. 
  • Viva La Juicy- I should've put this in my previous post, but I totally forgot! lol But I think this was probably my most worn perfume this year & I got a ton of compliments on it!
Since I couldn't find good photos of the sunglasses & wrap dresses to use in my collage, here are some photos of me wearing them! :)


Lifestyle, Music, & TV Faves!

  • Sony DSC RX100 Camera- Its my camera that I use when I want to take higher quality photos and I filmed my Youtube videos with it! I love it.
  • Amazon Basics Lightweight Headphones- These are literally the best headphones ever! I honestly don't understand people that blow tons of money on headphones when these amazing, $15 ones exist! They sound great, they're comfortable & flatten out for easy storage. 
  • Gilmore Girls- I watched this series from beginning to end with my sister this year and we love it! It is just an all around good show. 
  • Parenthood- I watched this after Gilmore Girls because Lauren Graham is in it and I was trying to get over my Gilmore Girls withdrawals. Its about the Braverman family and there is a ton of family members, so there is a lot of story lines and characters. It is a really good,heartwarming show. Similarly to Gilmore Girls, it has that quality of just normal people living normal lives and I love that. I think everybody could relate to this show. I think this might be my favorite show of 2015.
  • Future Hearts by All Time Low- All Time Low, AKA my favorite band, released a new album this year & its wonderful! My favorite songs are Missing You, Old Scars/Future Hearts, Runaways, & Satellites
  • Spotify- I use this everyday. I really love the new discover weekly playlist. I will link the playlists I listen to the most below :) 
I hope you enjoyed my 3 part 2015 Favorites posts!

Random Blog Post: Pretty Little Liars, Overhyped Perfume,& 2015 Favorites!

Hello everyone! 
I'm currently watching the Pretty Little Liars marathon and I'm so excited for the premier of 6B tonight! Although I was super disappointed with the 6A finale, I'm still excited to see what happens throughout the rest of the series just because I have been watching PLL since it began. 
While I'm watching PLL I thought it would be fun to just to this random little life update since I'm just relaxing right now. 
Nothing too exciting has happened lately. I just recently had to get a new laptop because the T and the Y and a few other keys stopped working on my old one. It was going to be over $200 to repair so I just got a new one. For a few months I was typing by using the on screen key board any time I had to use a T or a Y and that was incredibly annoying. My new laptop is a HP Stream. It had really good reviews on Amazon and It was very affordable. Its also a super pretty, shiny, bright blue color. School just started back, so I've been using It a lot and it works really well so far! Now that I have a fully functioning laptop I feel like I'm going to be able to post more efficiently now.

Speaking of posts, I am going to be posting a 2015 Favorites in the next few days! I'm going to be breaking it up into three different posts: Makeup & Beauty, Health & Skincare, Fashion & Lifestyle! 
Also, I have a few items that I want to do reviews of. I went to Sephora the other day and got a Foreo Luna Mini, so I will be posting about that In a few weeks. So far I like it a lot. Also, this is kind of random, but while I was at Sephora I smelled the Atelier Beach Walk perfume. I have been wanting to smell this perfume for the longest time because I've heard so many people rave about it on Youtube. I was expecting like a tropical beach vacation scent and It wasn't like that at all. There was nothing to it. It smelled nice, but it didn't remind me of the beach. I was so disappointed. lol

Anyways, thats my little life update for now, 
hope you enjoyed lol

Moment!
  • The most exciting thing for me this year was getting to see All Time Low for the first time ever in concert! This was honestly a dream come true because I have been a huge fan of their music since I was twelve. I am twenty now, so obviously that's a huge deal for me! To top it off I managed to worm my way up to the front of the crowd and get an awesome view. It was sweaty, claustrophobic, and very nerve racking, but it was worth every second! It was probably the best concert I've ever been to! Also afterwards Jack Barakat came out and met the fans and I got my picture made with him. It was such a fun experience and a dream come true! My twelve year old self would be so proud.
Goals For 2014
  • Decide on a major and make good grades
  • Try to adapt more healthy habits
  • Do something different with my hair. I've never dyed it and I'm thinking about trying out some highlights. 
  • Get up earlier. I'm not a morning person but I'd really like to become one. People who get up earlier seem like they get more done and are just happier and healthier overall. 
  • Build up my strength and flexibility so that I can do some of the pretzal-y yoga poses. Right now I'm just getting into the intermediate level on my Yoga Studio App. 
  • Read lots of books!
