What I Want Wednesday {21}

One. More. Week.

In one week i can shop.

But I will not be going crazy.

Want to know why?

Because it feels so damn good to know that I can make do and be happy with  what I have. I don't need to shop to be fulfilled. I think I lost sight of that for awhile and I am happy to have seen growth and change in myself. If you would have asked me 6 months ago if I thought I could not shop for one month I would have laughed in your face. Now...I know I can do it.

With that said, this is what I am loving this week...

I LOVE the look of midi skirts and this color is just gorgeous. The shoes are FAB as well.

'Aztec Blanket' scarf

I am so enamored with this scarf. I love scarves and this print is so fun and dresses up any look.

Striped, Nautical Inspired Sweater

This is such a simple, classy and comfy look. I want a sweater like this one!

I ADORE these looks. I want both outfits in my closet right now!

Killed. It. Period.

What is on your want list this week??

Fashionista Friday: Pregnancy Edition

I love when I am so inspired by particular outfits. I am even more excited when I wish I could wear an outfit even though I am not pregnant (someday!). These ladies look amazing 99% of the time whether they are pregnant or not. I hope you like these outfits as much as I do!

 A simple sheath that shows off the legs? Yes, please! Ivanka was only about 5 months here but I LOVE how chic she looks!

 The color, the length, the details. I cannot get over how gorgeous she looks! I would wear this tomorrow!

 There is nothing like an all white gown to show how sexy you are.

 This tunic dress is so amazing. I think the pop of blue embroidery makes the whole look. Pairing the dress with nude pumps makes her legs look miles long!

 Who says you cannot frolic on the beach as a preggo?? These cover ups are perfection! I think both should be in every girl's closet!

 Selma looks so cute. I want that wrap! I love the black bow on a gray background. The beanie is the perfect accessory. This is my perfect winter, casual outfit!

What do you think of these Fashionista's? 

Stripes Lovin'

Oh how I yearn to wear stripes.

I see pictures of celebs and bloggers wearing stripes every day. I always want to copy their outfits. Always.

Stripes make me look LARGE and in CHARGE.

I hate it.

Since I can't wear them, I will just dream about them.

And stare at these pics.

Enjoy!

LOVE the maxi with the belt. I am going to try this look with a solid dress :)

This is a great 'Errands' outfit. Yes, I classify my outfits. Hehe.

Gwen can wear ANYTHING and look good. I love the femininity of the off the shoulder top paired with BF jeans and a newsboy hat!

This is a perfect outfit for work! I LOVE an over sized blazer, leggings and boots for an easy, chic look.

A simple dress can be dressed up OR down. Adding accessories really gives the look a punch!

I love that she paired her striped maxi with a cropped jean jacket.

I Love how BEACHY this dress is!

I LOVE neon and gray together. If I had to pick one item that I COULD and WOULD wear, it would be this cardi. I am in LOVE with it.

Thin stripes are definitely easier to wear. I want the Chanel scarf and the mini boots.

Blair has been getting some MAJOR press. Did you see her on whowhatwear.com??

I would love to try pairing stripes and leopard print! I still NEED two leopard skirts, a pencil skirt and a short, flouncy mini skirt!

Krystal is one of my FAVS. She tries the funnest combos. I am obsessed with Cognac colored things and this dress looks FAB with the cognac leather jacket.

Helena of Brooklyn Blonde pairs her metallic stripes with SUNNY yellow shorts and a trench. I love this look! Such a fun pairing.

Alicia is my animal print SOUL sister. She has the most amazing collection of animal prints that I would love to steal borrow! I love this large striped maxi dress and leather jacket combo! I wish I looked that good!!

I could have posted DOZENS of pics. But these are some of my favs! How do you wear your stripes? Do you rock them or shy away from them like me??

What I Wore: Weekend Wear

I don't know about you but I NEVER want the weekend to end. Not because this weekend was more fun than usual, but because I love how RELAXED everyone seems on the weekends. PLUS, this was the first weekend this month that June Gloom didn't make it's awful appearance.

Most weekends I dress pretty casually... Or sloppy, lazy, not fashionable etc. I like to be comfortable and don't get dressed up unless I have somewhere to be. I LOVE wearing my bathing suit with a dress or a pair of shorts and tee/hoodie and  flip flops. So that is what I am going to share with you today!

(Please promise me you will keep reading! I'll wear fun things again)

I actually DRESSED up on Saturday for my dear friend, Lauren's, birthday lunch at Las Brisas in Laguna Beach. But...did I take outfit pics??? Nope. I can't take pics by myself in front of people. Weird, I know. I need to get over it! Here is a cropped pic of my outfit from our group pic.

I spent all of Sunday in bathing suit. I pulled a dress out of my closet that I LOVE but feel like it is too short to wear in public but realized that it would make a great cover up. I was actually inspired after seeing this pic.

I love this Tolani cover up but cannot spend $187 on something I would wear for a few minutes to and from the pool/beach. I got this dress at Forever 21 over a year ago. The material is so soft and silky. I think it is a great "Look for Less" option! What do you think?

I think that this is the most I have ever shown my figure...

My curves are on display! Hey, Hey, Hey!!!

What I Wore:

Dress: F21

Sandals: H&M

Suit (not shown): Tar-Jay!

Sunnies: Ray Ban

I put on this outfit for lounging around my house. And this is a perfect example of what I put on after a long day or when I know I won't be doing much. I DID run to pick up dinner in this. So it made a public appearance. HA!

NOT the most flattering outfit. I get it. Keeping it real her on Life in the Fashion Lane!

What I Wore:

Top: Wildfox Couture "Baggy Beach Jumper"

Shorts: Gilligan O'Mally from Target

Flip Flops: Haviana's

Sunnies: Ray Bans

Happy Monday!

Starting it off on the right 'Fashionable' foot!

Haha!

Fashionista Friday: Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba has really stepped up her game. She has turned into one chic mama! I am loving everything that she puts on these days. She has also done some phenomenal photo shoots. The pregnancy has not held back this Fashionista.

Here are a few of my favorite looks from the past few months.

{left image via justjared.com, right image via starstyleinc.com}

I LOVE the sequin leggings for a fun and flirty look.

You can never go wrong with a classic white button up and flared trouser jeans.

THIS dress is FABULOUS. I love the floral dress and the off the shoulder neckline is too die for.

Her simple, nude platforms complete not compete with the look!

Jessica is WORKING the maxi dress. It is perfect for her growing belly!

This dress is so pretty. I think pairing it with the vest made this look different from every day wear.

She looks hot.

What is your favorite look??



What I Want Wednesday {11}

iPhone Pics edition!

I know that many people do "Pics on my phone" or "This weeks iPhone pics" type of posts. This is my version of one of those posts. I am constantly taking pics of magazines, people on the streets, myself etc. on my phone so that I can be reminded of the inspiration at a later date.

This is what I want this week...

All pics are from the June issues of People Style Watch and InStyle.

A SEXY one piece bathing suit

I LOVE this ring. I want one to fit on my middle finger.

Missoni seems to be the House to work with.

I am  obsessed with my Haviana's and would love a pair with Missoni Stripes.

I LOVE this Tolani dress/cover up. I posted this pic in my Spring break post.

It is available on pre-order. My *new* frugalista mind says that $151 is too much :(

Jessica Simpson collection has the best shoes.

I am currently lusting over these slide in mules/clogs.

Nothing screams SUMMER like a pair of linen pants.

I saw a woman wearing a pair with a BF cardigan and a floppy hat in the airport in Cabo.

I have wanted to emulate the look since then.

I have been dying for ikat print for months.

Ikat looks fabulous on these shorts.

I love how the outfit is based around these stand out piece.

Not Fashion related BUT I just want to marry him.

Then he could sing me to sleep while gazing at me with those killer blue eyes.

SWOON.

And for those of you that follow me on Twitter...

I RETURNED the dress.

My votes ended up being 50/50.

But I just didn't feel super comfortable and when I feel that way it must go back :)
