Hello world! I have not posted anything on here for months but this post makes up for it! Today a link was shared with me on Facebook (thanks Brenda!) and I am now a huge fan of Rey Swimwear! established in 2008 this Audrey Hepburn inspired swimwear company's motto is "who says it has to be itsy bitsy" all the swimsuits on the website are full piece or tankinis and they are all so elegant and vintage and probably cuter than any tiny  bikini anywhere. (take that society!) These swimsuits are also fairly affordable! (the one's on sale are about the price of a jcp swimsuit) and besides who wouldn't pay 80 dollars for a unique, vintage swimsuit! ;) Planning on buying one as soon as I get paid!

Ancora United

Have you ever heard of Ancora United? Well if you haven't you are going to hear about them right now... Of course if you have heard of them... good job! Ancora United is an attire company based right here in Billings Montana! Their mission statement: keeping you anchored to what matters while presenting yourself to the world. Supporting Ancora United Attire is supporting the youth. Sounds good to me! Ancora United donates to Scholarship AMERICA, which is an organization built to fund college scholarships. They also donate to The Tom Sims legacy fund which is a program that helps give underprivaleged youth the chance to get outside and see the great outdoors! Plus with such great models such as Mercy and Wills Pitcher ( If you go to Senior High you know who they are) What's not to like!  Now tell me what is better than a clothing company that supports scholarship programs AND underprivaleged youth!

Go Boho

Apparently when I picked out my outfit last night I was in a bohemian mood because I don't usually dress like this, but I like it... a lot. I pretty much took every bracelet in the house and tied a scarf on my head then ta da! I look like I could be a gypsy (Yea, I did have some one tell me that in the hall today...)  With all the attention I was getting I figured I should post it!

The complete look...

 

if you want to do the scarf wrap there are some really good tutorials on pinterest

 

                                                                        POWER!

These earrings and the necklace are handmade by Zasra! one of my mom's friends. Check out her vintage and bohemian stuff in her etsy shop!

Bracelets are really the essence of boho...It's not boho without bracelets

Put a Little Spring in Your Step!

I am very sorry it has been so long since my last post. According to the stats though it really didn't matter because no one really looked at it anyway. :) Well I am pleased to tell you that tonight I have my first ever fashion post! Welcome to spring in Montana! Today it was in the 60's with a lot of cold wind! The warmest day we have had in a while! Yup, that's right when you live in Montana short shorts are definetly not the way to go. So just in case you are a little stuck on how to look cute in your warm weather clothes without freezing to death...here are some ideas on how to put a little spring in your step and your wardrobe! :)

 

I just found this adorable lace top at a thrift store this weekend but unfortunatly it is a tanktop so of course the only appropriate way to wear it was with chambray!! paired with a cute pair of jeans and a pair of alligator flats and viola! a fabulous spring outfit... this look also looks good when paired with shorts over tights...

 

 

One of my favorite articles of clothing is a cute simple dress and if you just throw an oversized shirt over it; it instantly becomes ten times warmer! thick leggings are also good especially if you have to walk to school! :)

Spring jackets are also super important! You need something that is thick enough to keep you warm in the chilly mornings but thin enough to stuff in a bag later in the day! This coat in particular has an extra layer on the inside that can be removed for later in the season!

Have no fear boot season is still here! and these lace up steam punk boots are absolutly perfect! Truth be told I stole these from my sister but I couldn't help myself! They are just thin enough that the don't get to hot and sweaty and still warm enough to keep my toes warm! plus they have a little heal so they add some height for those of us who are a little on the small side ;)

 

 

The Lumineers

 

              
 The Lumineers are one of my all time favorite bands. I absolutly love their style of music and just them in general. Plus they have a girl cello player in the band and as a cello player myself it is so awesome to see an instrument so rarely put with popular bands in this super talented group! My aunt told me the other day that if you need some music to brighten your day listen to the lumineers. and i totally agree... their music is bound to put a smile on your face. :)

The Lumineers album features songs like Ho Hey and Stubborn Love

Neyla Pekarek: The groups cello player

My favorites

There are a lot of places out there to buy clothes and sometimes it is hard to find a store that suits you and your personality! These are a few of my faves:
1) Urban Outfitters: we don't have one in billings and it is on the more expensive side but they have a lot of random stuff that other stores don't have.
2) Modcloth.com: they have the cutest vintage looking dresses you will ever see! Now if only I had 50 dollars to buy one
3)Old Navy: they have very affordable and very stylish clothes. I enjoy any item of clothing they sell with pictures of animals on it.
4) forever 21: give me a reason to not like this store. It has some really affordable jewelry
5) goodwill: who doesn't love a good thrift store! There is so much stuff you can find at them it is amazing! I get most of my clothes at thrift stores.
