How I Found Amazing Swimsuits From a Youtube Video/ One Piece Swimsuits Under $50

I am a bit addicted to watching vloggers on Youtube and normally I don't care to watch the "May Favorites" or videos like that but one day I was watching this video about cheap swimsuits and ended up purchasing two of them! It was amazing because not only did the vlogger try them on but she mentioned if it was good material, if it felt like $15 (AKA CHEAP,) and if it fit correctly. I know I've shared these swimsuits already a lot of my social media but I wanted to show I even

Graphic T and Metallics

Graphic T's are the easiest thing to style up or down. For more of a semi casual look, I paired the T with jean shorts, a duster jacket, and mules. Wearing my favorite reflective sunglasses that I got for $12, and the duster I got from H&M (couldn't find my exact one anymore but I found a similar one and linked it below.) So easy to make it look stylish and cute. Wearing: Shirt | Shorts (similar) | Duster (similar) | Shoes | Sunglasses | Belt Photography by Stephen Cheong Lee

Punta Cana Travel Diaries: Birthday Trip!

I don't remember the last time I went away for my birthday so this year I wanted just that. We flew first to NYC to see Colin's family and then from there we went to Punta Cana. We stayed at Grand Palladium since it was a good price and it was a great hotel, only it was HUGE. We had to take golf carts around the entire hotel to the restaurants and shops, so FYI. The hibachi restaurant and the Asian restaurant were my favorite, it could be that I just like sushi and fried rice

Blue and White Ruffles

Off the shoulder is such an easy go to in my mind. It's simple yet fashionable and gives it a girly flair. I paired this top with some dark blue jeans and black mules. A sunglass obsession of mine are these round black pairs. I actually got them at Forever 21 for under $10 because the Ray Ban ones were too narrow on my round face... :) I believe I got the gold/grey ones because in different lighting, the sunglasses are a bit lighter than black. I used to be such a designer s

Italy Travel Diaries: How I Went to Italy for $500

True story. I walked into work one day and my coworker told me about a deal on TravelZoo for a trip to Italy for $500 including hotel and flight and I booked my trip that night. It's the first time I ever heard about this website and I was so impressed. My boyfriend and I went and we flew Emirates there from NYC (this deal was flying from NY, the plus is is that my BF's family lives there so we didn't have to get a hotel for the night before.) We flew into Milan and stayed in

White Statement Shoes

I knew I wanted to do outfit posts on my blog but I also knew that I needed to stay true to who and what I really dress like instead of "dressing up for the camera/blog." Personal style evolves but my style will always have a similar common ground which is effortless. Enjoy and let me know your feedback in the comments. :) 80's comeback with these shoes right? My style is usually pretty tamed with maybe one standout piece... today being the shoes. Being short (5'0) typically
