Little Sunshine ft. Party Poofers

Jumpsuit, Choker, and Sandals: Forever 21, Earrings: Party Poofers

This season, I am falling in love in colorful stripes, and this Forever 21 jumpsuit is the epitome of it. Its bold yellow, white, black, and bright teal stripes grab the attention of party-goers and with neutral accessories, and a pair of Party Poofers in yellow, you know you're one of the best dressed of the party.

Party Poofers are great for going to summer functions including parties, weddings, kickbacks, and more. They come in colors including yellow, bright pink, black, red, lilac, and white in order to go with most clothes in your closet, solid or mixed. For locals, they are $10, and if you need them shipped to you, they are $15. This name of the the model I am modeling is the "Bubbly" earrings as they are bubbly and spark conversations. I am so blessed to start with this business aspect, and I hope to learn on my entrepreneurship journey!

One Item, Two Fits: Sunshine and Jeans

Jeans, Top, and Earrings: Forever 21; Shoes: Amazon, Choker: SheIn

Top and Shoes: Forever 21; Earrings: TJ Maxx, Bracelet: Belk; Necklace: Kendra Scott

I found a perfect pair of white jeans from Forever 21 that I am in LOVE with. The style is a ruffle bottom jeans, and they are great for spicing up from a casual t-shirt and jeans daytime look to a dress tank and jeans nighttime turnt up look(even though I used a tank to make a causal look). But enough of gushing over a pair of jeans, let's get to this theme. (1, 2; keep in note these are not exact pair it may have been sold out online but probably not in stores)

YOU GUESSED IT: yellow is all over everything, and I am loving it. I am not shocked if my closet is filled with yellow before the end of summer: yellow two-piece sets, yellow earrings, yellow tank, yellow tinted sunglass, yellow dress, and counting. Yellow is definitely a perfect color to pair with my white jeans because it screams SUMMER in a combination.

Both tanks are wonderful to pair with the jeans as they give sophistication on the top as the different prints evoke different styles.

• For the gingham tank: I paired it with flatform sandals to make it a cute casual look. I added some color with the multicolor tassel earrings, which are so fun to wear during the day or night. Very appropriate for exploring places for the day and kickbacks during the night.
• For the floral tank: Though this look was worn for a daytime lunch with family, this is also nighttime appropriate to turn up for dress-to-impress casual night functions. Pop on a pair of heels, or backless loafers/slides and you are off to a good 'ole time. Don't forget simple jewelry, or a pair of statement earrings if you're extra like me. Keep in note that this top is a part of a co-ord set I got at Forever 21!

My summer festivities are amazing so far, and I am blessed with what is in store for me! Feel free to share your favorite summer pieces in your closet!

Gameday Getway

Top, skirt, and earrings: Forever 21; Necklace and sunglasses: Catalog Connection; Purse: gifted; Shoes: TJ Maxx, Choker and pin: from my sorority

I had a fun gameday: the tailgates were LIT, I experienced a first home game win, and most of all I was  killin' it in this off-the-chain outfit!

This was a purple out; however you don't see that much cute purple in stores. Until I went to Forever 21 and saw with light purple cropped long sleeve top, I HAD to cop it. 

I went full on baddie in this super cute quilted leather skirt, big hoop earrings and hardware toed booties. Then I went a little gaudy with the gold wrap beaded necklace and crossbody purse. I had to put on a pair of stylish shades for this sunny day.

Gamedays in college are a great opportunity to dress the heck up in school colors and be a little fancy (you can't get to much of it) with your outfit.

How do you dress up for ganeday?

Chunky Sweaters Came in a Little Early This Year

Sweater: TJ Maxx, Skirt:Boohoo.com, Necklace:Versona, Boots: Target, Earrings: Forever 21, Bag(not shown much): Nine West

Gucci Mane's bricksquad came in a little early this year when 10/17 came around, it became cold. And after scoping through TJ Maxx and finding out that up-ed their sweater game this year, I HAD to put my sweaters to good use.

This sweater is literally one of the best tops I purchased this year. It is a dolman sleeve, and I could throw it with any bottom to make it look good.

The envelope skort has come to play in order to add a pop of color to this outfit full of tans. The over-the-knee boots add extra warmth and style without freezing me legs to death.

Then I had to have my metallics with this Kendra Scott-inspired necklace and HUGE gold hoops. I don't know about you, but I am obsessed with huge hoops that scream BADDIE across it.

Gingham Moments

Top: Charlotte Russe, Skirt: Forever 21, Necklace: Forever 21, Shoes: Wish, Earrings: Belk

With the end of summer and the beginning of fall, different pieces, prints, and fabrics change. But one of the things that should be appropriate year round is gingham. This off the shoulder long sleeve blouse sums up the reason. The thing in particular that I like about the blouse is the ruched sleeves. The sleeves add a unique dimension to the blouse that show elegance and that extra-ness.

I kept the girliness of the top with a sweet salmon pink skirt.  Who knows?  Pink and blue is that perfect summer-to-fall combination of colors, especially with navy blue.

However, the girly look here has some edge. I toughened things up with these accessories: black platform sandals, gold chain choker, and huge gold hoops.

This look is perfect for going out to go dancing, and I literally had a fun time wearing this ensemble.

How do you transition your look for fall?

Desi out!

This is Living Proof That it is Fall

With fall around the corner, the drinks get warmer, the temperature gets cooler, soups are popping up, and football season makes us rowdier. Some of us, especially myself, dress better in the fall because it's the happy medium of wearing boots and lightweight fabrics from the summer. At the moment I am falling in love with the vibe of Forever 21's fall clothing. This mustard colored long sleeved t-shirt dress from there is now becoming one of my favorite versatile dresses at the moment. Forever 21's t-shirt dresses, long and short sleeve, come in many colors in order to become suitable with everything you pair them with in your closet. Then this rust colored suede open cardigan is a great layering pieces to transition from summer to fall. The suede fabric and short sleeves suit the cool weather during the morning and the hot weather during the evening. Then these shoes are literally the highest heels I own in my closet at around 5"-6", but the platform and the soft insides make it the most comfortable shoe ever. They are by G by Guess, where you can get it from most department stores. Last, but not least, this necklace is by Versona, even though I lost the tassel. It's okay, it's still a great necklace!

I loved the outfit. Well, see you in the next post. Desi out!

Haulin' Around: Yes Way, Conway!

This past weekend, I went shopping down in Conway before my mom and I were headed to Myrtle Beach for a few hours. I found some great finds at Forever 21 that were appropriate for school, so let's get to it!

I bought this cute choker because what can I say, chokers are in! This one has a bow, then a cute rhinestone. I probably need a few more chains in the back so the necklace will be a bit more comfortable for me, but I do still love it.

Then I needed some basic shirts to go with my skirts. This one, in particular shows a bit of skin, but it it not much to violate the dress code. I will need a cropped tank top under it because it is a little revealing, but he wide neckline is fine. Now on to finding a knit off the shoulder tee.

Then I found another dress that is "mod" looking, but basic enough to be versatile - wearing it to kickbacks, dates, dress up days at school, etc. I like the color, too.

Then this dress is great with this new kimono cardigan that is pretty trendy. The suede trend is in, and this is really perfect. It also has that rusty shade of red that looks phenomenal on my skin tone. This is versatile enough to wear with everything, too.

Autumn is literally my favorite season to dress in. I'm so excited for school, now. Desi out!

School Supplies Essentials

 It's that time for back to school season again! And I can't wait to get prepared for school with these supplies. This year, I will be a sophmore and I am so excited. These are the things that I will be carrying to school this year!

Bookbag: If you have visited my channel lately, I will be carrying my Jansport Superbreak backpack this year. This is really adorable because it has the pink flamingos, which I love!

Lunchbox: I am thinking of getting a Thirty-One lunch tote with the swimsuits (really, Desi?) or this beautiful pink and green striped one here from HannaAndersson.com (about the same price of the 31 lunchbox). I usually take my lunch like every single day and I want something that will take up some room with a great price tag.

Pencil Pouch: This year I am definitely using a pencil pouch with compartments. I used the smaller pouch that comes with the bigger makeup bag from 31, there were post-its all over the place and the paper would get messed up. You know what? I'm getting one with compartments so no paper would get gessed up again. I have a pink pouch that I could use this year, but I included this polka dot number from Forever 21 that has compartments so nothing would get messed up.

Water Bottle: At the store, my mom and I would get the 24 pack water bottles. Well, what if #oomc (one of my classmates) brought the same brand? For me, drinking from one's water bottle would be whack! I am getting a unique water bottle that will tell 'em, "that's mine!" 1. 2. 3.

Colored Writing Toys: If you are drawn to colorful things, these will save your life in getting good grades. Highlighters, colored pens, and markers help make a difference. I am planning on getting a 10-pack highlighters from Yoobi, a collection at Target that sends school supplies when you buy their products. Also I am debating on getting the 16-pack flair pens or if Up & Up brand at Target have their 24-pack pens, I might get those instead this year if they sold them this year.

Notebooks and Paper: I've gotten 4 beautiful notebooks at Wal-Mart and some loose leaf paper in college ruled because I've gotten so many wide ruled, I get so sick of writing on them. See my recent video here.

Pencils and Black Pens: This year I am using the BIC mechanical pencil that comes in 24 pack (courtesy of my mom's job) and the Pilot G2 pens. Out of all of the pens I've had in my life, the Pilor G2's are A++ for me. They write oh so well and if you're looking for a good pen, check them out at Walmart, Target, or any office stores.

Folder/File Folder: I'm debating if I want to use a folder or a file folder, which is good for storing forms, permission slips, flyers, and more!

Calculator: I am using my TI-36X Pro until I can save up to get a TI-84 (hope I get a pink one!) Once you know how to work the calculator, this can save your life in any math class.

Post-its: For reminders, bookmarks, to-do lists, agenda work, I am definitely using my post-its this year. I'm using the ones from last year because I have plenty left and they do last for a long time.

Agenda: I am a proud owner of a Lilly Pulitzer Medium Agenda in Tusk in Sun (the remix) and this is what I'm drawn to for planning things during the school year because I'm a busy girl. Big exams are coming, so I'll keep these in handy.

Binders and Their Dividers: This year I am doing a binder for every two classes (if I could explain more, check out the link on the notebooks and paper above). For every class, I'm including 4 dividers to organize my work.

Dressing Up My Rucksack: To dress up my Jansport, I am planning to get it monogrammed at a local monogramming store (monograms are really the baes!). If it doesn't work I am dressing up with a bow, monogrammed keychain, ribbons, and key fobs (so I know it's mine).

It seems that I hit every spot.

Spirit Week!

I am excited to show my first outfits of the week on this blog right here! This week was my school's homecoming week! I posted all of the outfits I wore to school. I may mot be best dressed, but I've gotten the most classy, preppy, and fashionable spirit week ideas.

striped top:Forever 21, button down: JC Penney, jacket: its reeeally old, jeans: F21, shoes: Old Navy, necklace: Cato

Monday was mismatched day, so I became a genius and mismatched sweater(which was actually a long sleeve t-shirt) and button down prints. I paired those with my bright pink jeans 'cause I felt Barbie-ish. Then, I mismatch pairs of Old Navy pointed toe flats because I fell in love (I only got 3 pairs and counting!). Then, a bubble necklace got in the way. ;)

black top and vest: Justice, camo t-shirt: Target, jeans and chain necklace: F21, shoes: Payless, white bow: made it myself

Tuesday was camo day for me, and I had a hard time finding camo, even if it's on trend. I found this one at Target and layered it over a long sleeve t-shirt and under a military jacket. Black jeans and riding boots made it military-hunter look. I still want to look classy, so I decided to wear chain choker and pearls.

top: A'Gaci, skirt: Belk, belt: from a shirt, red shoes: yard sale, necklace: Old Navy, bow: made it myself

Wednesday was Disney character and the only thing in my close was for Snow White. I didn't have a red bow, so I put on my rose printed, along with red shoes, belt, and necklace. I'm pretty sure you've seen the blue tee before. The yellow skirt was added, too. Now, may I have a red delicious apple?

 sweater: Plato's Closet, shirt: F21, jeans: Wal-Mart, shoes: Old Navy, necklace: Cato

Thursday was neon day and I only have it in the necklace. I colorblocked the colors, anyways. Here we go again with the sweater-button down combo again.

top: Plato's Closet, jeans: F21, belt: Target, shoes: Payless, necklace: Cato, bows: made them myself

Today was tiger pride day and I'm screaming orange, black, and white! I put my hair in a bun with black and zebra hairbows. I reeeally want a houndstooth top, and had the chance to wear it with my black skinnies. Look! I'm wearing sparkle shoes and a bubble necklace today!

These were the outfits. If you are having spirit week, what themes and outfits did you and your school planned? I can't wait to do a September Favorites!
