You can never go wrong with the basics and a pop of color! The softly distressed, dark-wash jeans and white t-shirt paired with sandals and a scarf make it incredibly versatile. Wear it in the office, a day at the park, or for a summer night out. The little lime peek-a-boo's give the neutral look a bit of diversity to keep it eye-catching! Add some stud earrings and lipgloss and you've got the whole look! Distressed Dark-Wash Jeans: American Eagle

The season is not over and for us girls out there it can be extremely difficult to find a cute, affordable swimsuit that fits our individual body types. Luckily I have finally found the perfect place to buy cute and reasonably priced swimwear for the sunny days! J. Crew. Who would've guessed, right? Maybe this isn't a secret after-all to some of you.. But I never thought about going there for cute and modest swimsuits! I figured they would have a selection about as good as Hollister.... One-Piece suits are definitely hot this Summer. Here are a few of my top picks! The Jersey Lomellina metal-trim bandeau tank (Pictured in the color "Earth".) This style comes in 5 different colors. Doesn't it look like a lighter colored swimsuit verion of Selena Gomez's dress in her "A Year Without Rain" Video!? **Ohh.. Ya know.. Just a random picture** Keep it sweet and classic with this Seersucker Banded Underwire Tank in either blue or neon peach! I really love this one. It's just so timeless and fits the body just right. Make a splash in bold colors! Here is the J. Crew Italian Matte Tie-Front Tank. You can choose from 6 fun colors to lay pool-side. I absolutely love the criss-cross tie design! Or cover up with these adorable Paisley Liberty Harajuku Board Shorts I love these. So. Much. And last, but not least, is the J.Crew Mini-Geo Halter Tank. A GREAT choice for a patterned style or if you're looking for an aztec vibe. Now that the middle of Summer is approaching, you can finally rock that summer body in something both cute AND flattering!
Just keep swimming! Alyssa The long, 4th of July weekend is over and it's back to work. Hopefully everyone had a great time over the holiday break!
Here is the look I wore. Overalls: Wet Seal Pink Plaid Shirt: American Eagle Ford Ball Cap: Walmart Boots: Forever Young Shoes Sunglasses: Maurices And of course, to top it off, a Ford Mustang Convertible. ;) Have a fun and safe week! xo, Alyssa You may be working or going to school all Summer, but that doesn't mean you can't find time to make Summer 2014 your best one yet!! Stop sleeping through your free time and get out and make some memories! Here's a list of my Bucketlist for this Summer! :) ***The ✔️ Indicates that I've completed it already!

Basic Bun How-To:
And there you have it! The cute, messy bun! Perfect for hot summer days at the pool or in the office!
Til next time, Peaches! Alyssa
This past month has been filled with SO many favorites! Here are just a few of my top listers and below I have tagged where you can purchase them!
For starters, MAKEUP! I am absolutely obsessed with my Maybelline Fit Me Foundation which is conveniently at your local drugstore or Walmart. It's very inexpensive compared to the brand name I usually get for my clients. My color is 220 and I just love how creamy it is and what great coverage it gives me! And it lasts FOREVER. Next is Aviator Sunglasses and the Gucci pair pictured above is perfection. The neutral lenses match any outfit for those sunny days. I have been using so much hand sanitizer at work lately and to prevent my hands from drying and cracking from the alcohol content I have been using my Bath & Body Works Paris Amour Lotion. I LOVE THIS STUFF!! It seriously works amazingly and smells so good! Another plus is the cute pink color and packaging. It just gives a pop of color to my desk! Speaking of a pop of pink, next on the list is my MAC Cosmetics Lipstick in Candy Yum-Yum. It is the perfect bright pink shade. It looks great with your hair in a cute bun and a denim inspired outfit! MAC Lipsticks are the creamiest lipsticks I've ever used and make your lips look so soft and supple. And speaking of denim, I AM SO OBSESSED WITH MY DISTRESSED SHORTS, LIGHT WASH, OVERALLS!! So excited I had to use all caps. ;) To be honest I'm glad they came back in style (with a less old person feel), I just love wearing mine because I feel like it's a bold fashion statement. I always pair it with something to give it a "girly" feel. Usually it's a red or white bandana, another one of my favorites! Or for a less "out there" statement I really love distressed, light washed jeans! The Great Gatsby. I don't care how many times you've read it, it's a classic and a perfect read during the summer. I love to refresh with a good ole' classic book in that warm breeze. It's a must if you go on vacation to the beach, or bring along one of Nicholas Sparks' books if you are feeling like a romance. And for jewelry I absolutely adore my ear cuffs! It adds the perfect piece of bohemian style to your outfit. Also on my list is CUTE JOURNALS AND STATIONARY!!! I have been going crazy over Kate Spade's planners. They are so cute you just can't forget to use it! And lastly, my two makeup go-to's for the summer. My Sephora Felt tip eyeliner pen is perfect for a classic and bold cat eye that is just perfect for the summer! Or go for a less dramatic look and just slightly line the lash line. I usually pair a cat eye with my FAVORITE BRONZER ever!!!!!! Seriously. I use it on myself and all of my clients, Benefit Cosmetic's Hoola Bronzer! It isn't orangey and works perfectly with every skin tone. EVERY one. It's my go-to beauty product and blows all other bronzers out of the water! Well, that's it for my list. I hope you all enjoyed it! xo Peaches, Alyssa 4th of July is one of the most festive Holidays of the year and it's quickly approaching! Get ready for fireworks with the perfect outfit from head to toe. Here are a few ideas I put together that I have in mind as inspiration. The laidback and relaxed, Graphic/Baseball tee Look. Forever 21 $14 Baseball Tee: Victoria's Secret $15 Hat: In4mation Camo Hi Era $51 MTV Graphic Tee: Women's CONVERSE All Star Sneakers: LORDANDTAYLOR $45 C. Wonder Cord Wrapped Cuff: C. Wonder $29 Or the cute and festive look. :) Overalls: H&M $34 Bling Hardware Strappy Sandals: Wet Seal $20 Ray-Ban Aviator Sunglasses with Flash Lenses: NEIMANMARCUS $170 Forever New Signature Watch: Forever New $28 I would love to see what oufits you guys wear on July 4th! Tag or comment pictures of your outfits and I might feature it on my Instagram! :) XO, Alyssa Those Valentino shoes. Or that Louis Vuitton bag. Maybe it's your absolute favorite dress from Nordstrom. Who says you can't have them?! I am here to help you create the perfect closet space for your DREAM wardrobe. So let's get on with it! 1. Clean Your Room!
I don't want to sound like your naggy mother... But seriously. Clean your room. It will give you space to lay out your clothes and will motivate you to finish the job. 2. Get Organized! Classify each individual section of your closet. This means skirts/dresses, shirts, pants, jewelry, etc. Seperate your basic staples (white tee's, tank tops, etc.) from your wardrobe now so that they can be incorporated into several outfits later... 3. Make some $$! What to do with the clothes you no longer want: A. Give to the D.I or Salvation Army B. Sell online C. Have a yard sale D. Give to friends and family But please, PLEASE do not throw them away unless they are damaged or gross. Someone else could use them out there, somewhere, I'm sure. 4. Decide Which Clothes To Keep and HOW! A. Does it fit? B. Does it flatter my figure? C. Is the Cut, Color, Fabric, etc. flattering? D. Would I re-buy? Do I love it? E. Will I wear it? Does it fit my "style"? 5. THE FUN PART!! You can either go splurge on a shopping spree the old fashioned way girls go shopping... Or save up and slowly integrate new pieces into your wardrobe over time. Either way, eventually you will have all of the clothes you love and a style you've always wanted. Good luck on your adventure creating your new and fabulous wardrobe! Til next time, Peaches! Alyssa Aaaaand.. Here it is. The latest color palette trend, a mix of dusty blue hues with gold accents! We have seen this color all over since we saw Lupita Nyong'o hit the red carpet dawning a pale blue gown for the Oscars. Powder blue is a refreshing twist in fashion that complements all skin tones, hair/eye colors, etc. It can be used it accessories.. Here is an adorable pale blue, ruched clutch that can be found on Etsy here. Something blue..... Keep a bright and open space using hints of blue hues in throw pillows, chairs, dishes or whatever else you can think of around the house! Or implement it into an office space or bedroom... And who wouldn't want pale blue hair like Aliso-- I mean, Sasha Pieterse. ;) What blue inspiration do you have? Let me know in the comments how you use pale blues in your wardrobe, home, accessories, etc. :)
See ya soon, Peaches! Alyssa If you're looking for the perfect pop of color this summer, look no further!
Every one has those times where they just need a little pep to perk up the longer days. Pair neutrals with a red pout and pucker up! You could opt for an LBD to hit the town on a summer night or keep it classic with some white or neutral colored jeans and blouse. The red lipstick I am wearing is called Ruby Woo by MAC Cosmetics. It is generally a very universal color and complements a variation of skin tones, hair/eye colors, etc. The lipstick itself is very matte, so I topped it off with the MAC clear gloss to give it a bold and defined shine. The lacey bow black dress and round diamond stud earrings are from Kohl's. This dress is perfect for SOOO many occassions. Definitely a good buy. And last but not least, the shoes! These heels have a tiny, grey bow on the backs of them that aren't pictured (sorry!) and are so incredibly adorable! They are from JustFab.com! Hope you're all having a great summer and have even more fun spicing things up in your wardrobe! Good luck, Peaches! Alyssa |
