On Friday, I had a wonderful night doing my favorite things; sipping wine and buying jewelry! My bff Britney had a party for the girls to get together and indulge! Girl time is extremely beneficial for your health and maintaining relationships. So round up the girls and take time to do things you love, even if that is as simple as spending time together!
Take time to appreciate the little things in life! And listen to this mug, it's telling the truth! I think everyone needs to add this to their morning routine.
Pretty mug + Coffee = Happiness This week I was thrilled to be a part of a ZTA Invite Dinner with the sisters in the sorority here at UMD. Not only was this an excuse to dress up, but a chance to meet some of the lovely girls of ZTA and share an experience with them. Not to mention the details were adorable! I paired a hot pink dress with nude, suede heels and a statement necklace for this dinner. I'm looking forward to being able to share more of my spring wardrobe!
There are tons of things to do when you're away at college. From social events to sporting events to food, you think you've done it all and more. But after a weekend with my ministry and amazing friends, God helped me see there is so much more to what we see and do. For a cultural experience, as suggested by my friends, I had to try Korean BBQ. I was excited but hesitant about certain things. I ended up having an amazing evening and a chance to appreciate such wonderful and special people. That simple dinner was a chance to bond, celebrate, and love one another. God then decided to grace us with a beautiful sunset, only found with good friends and fun times.
Have a beautiful Saturday:) Stop telling yourself you will wear something after you lose 10 pounds. Stop holding on to the jeans that fit you five years ago. Stop comparing yourself to the people areound you. Today is a new day, and you are beautiful. God has created you and you are loved by Him. If you feel like wearing that colorful shirt, do it. If those jeans hug in all the right places, then good. Embrace who you are and wear what makes you happy and comfortable. We are only given one life on Earth so make everyday count. Don't be afraid to pass around the love and tell others they are beautiful and accepted. There are millions of blogs and websites that will show you what's popular and tell you how to dress. But this one is a little different. This one loves you. This one knows how important you are. There is no fashion without differences, there is no style without unique personalities. So be you and know you are loved by the ones who matter most. Happy Friday y'all! Enduldge in those treats and dress for you! Nothing like a lovely breakfast with my girls on this happy Friday! I'm having fun adding patterns to my wardrobe! Can't wait to incorporate spring colors!
Spring will be amazing this year because of the great looks to come on The Pink Bikini (if you can't already tell, I'm a warm-weather gal)! Bring on the color! Get ready for a variety of fun outfits. Here are some preppy necessities for this spring!
With sun comes less makeup. This ELF Moisturizer adds the perfect amount of color without the heaviness of traditional foundation. Bath and Body Works's has done it again with a wonderful fragrance Beautiful Day. Longchamp totes are the best everyday accessory and they are perfection with Vineyard Vines tees and hoodies. The list continues, so stay tuned for more preppy spring essentials on The Pink Bikini! Being away at school means constantly working on new assignments and running to class. For days that are super busy, make sure you are comfy and cute. Army/olive green is very trendy this winter season and looks sharp paired with black. For this outfit, I started with black spandex leggings (Forever21) and a white v-neck tee (F21). Put the army jacket over the tee and if it's cold add your parka (Forever21). Leather boots (Kohls) add to this tomboy look. Don't be afraid to rock the middle part!
If your wardrobe doesn't consist of an aray of different patterns and textures, the easiest way to add personality to your outfit is to accessorize! Pair a statement necklace (color of your choice) with your favorite sweater. I stayed with a cool color palette and added ripped denim and aqua earrings, and a pop of color on the lips. Don't forget your clutch or handbag for balance. This is such a simple look for any occasion.
Sweater and denim from American Eagle, clutch from Vera Bradley, Chatterbox Mac Lipstick. Good afternoon y'all! I'm writing today to share a little bit more about myself. I've been thinking a lot about my recent posts and I think they need more of an explanation. So here is a little intro about me and The Pink Bikini!
This blog is for all those guys and gals who have a desire to do what makes them happy. The whole reason for starting a lifestyle blog was to take my interests to the next level. I admire the asthetics and creativity of fashion and decor, so what better way to share those ideas than with people who agree! The Pink Bikini is a fun way to express style. From polka dots to glitter there is something for everyone here. The Pink Bikini is a way to show beauty of the simple things in life and discover our inner artist (whether your art be fashion, decorating or photography). ALSO, being a poor college student I'm not going to have the latest Chanel bag or YSL lipstick, but I will show you style on a budget! My inspiration for The Pink Bikini is the Mrs. Rachael Parcell, among others, because I adore her love for pink and the wonderful mixing of patterns and colors in her wardrobe. So I hope I was able to elaborate on the exciting posts to come! Happy Monday! Recently on the east coast it's been snowpocalypse! Fight the weather in style with this simple and sophisticated outfit. Shown here is a pastel pink sweater from American Eagle paired with a black J.Crew puffer vest. A glitzy statement necklace from Burlington Coat Factory and a white leather Michael Kors watch help top off the look. Don't forget your rubber boots (Michael Kors)! Add a cashmere scarf for extra warmth. |
