Swimsuits 4 Summer '13

Spring is here and sooner than you think, Summer will be too! Obviously~ this means it's time to start busting out the swimsuits. Here are a few pieces I have already purchased and plan to wear.

American Apparel Nylon Tricot High-Waist Swim Brief $25

Although I think the top is lovely too, I only got my hands on these 50's inspired swimsuit bottoms. These come in a variety of colors--more of which I'd love to own. Normally, I wouldn't gravitate towards the color red but for whatever reason, I decided to go for it. No regrets here as I fell in love with the color when I received them in the mail.

Forever 21 High-Waisted Retro Print Bikini Bottoms $12.80

As you can see, I'm really into the high-waisted 50's inspired style at the moment. I feel like this style flatters many body-types and accentuates curves. I found these a few weeks ago at Forever 21 and I had to get them because 1) I thought the print was cute and 2) THEY WERE ONLY $12.80. So cheap if you've ever been swimsuit shopping. I believe Forever 21 has this style in other prints and colors.

ASOS '50s Halter Padded Bikini Top $23.74

First off, I have to say that everyone should check out asos.com if you haven't already done so. Great prices + they offer free shipping ALL THE TIME. I bought this top last summer but I know it's currently still available for purchase. I plan to reuse it this summer since I didn't really get much use out of it last year AND it's a great mix & match piece. I plan to wear this top with both the AA and Forever 21 bottoms.

First and foremost,

I feel so hip and up to date. To start off, I thought I would share a couple of beauty related items that I have been thoroughly enjoying throughout Winter. I know, how superficial of me, but sometimes I love girly crap too!

MAC lipstick in 'Diva' & lip liner in 'Currant' combo

This has to be my favorite lip combination of this winter. I had been looking for the perfect dark-without-being-overly-dramatic shade to wear on nights out. Lucky for me, I found it on a sporadic trip to the MAC counter on Christmas Eve. 'Diva' is perfection. I don't always feel brave enough to wear bright red lips so this shade is perfect for me. Not to mention it's matte AND doesn't leaving my lips feeling dry! As for the lip liner, it's also great. It matches perfectly with 'Diva' and helps me achieve a more precise look.

American Apparel nail polishes in 'Imperial Purple' & 'Mouse'

These have been my go-to nail polishes for the past couple of months. I got both on the same trip to AA. 'Imperial Purple' was regular priced and 'Mouse' was in a box with other nail polishes marked for $1. $1?!? I thought the quality of 'Mouse' was going to suck because of that, but it actually turned out fine. I have no idea why it was in that dollar box but I'm glad it was because I absolutely love it. It's such a subtle color, and that's exactly what I like about it. Plus the name is so cute. 'Imperial Purple' is awesome. I love that it's so dark it almost looks black from afar. It's a lovely spin to classic black nails, which I also love.

That is all for now. I'm excited about this blog and I plan on doing more posts like this one, as well as others discussing films, music, fashion or anything really. Yay.
