Happy Tuesday!

Im wearing Amrita Singh earrings I bought off Ebay last year. These are the same ones Real Housewife star Gretchen Rossi wore during her interviews on The Real Housewives of Orange County.





Normally I would provide a direct link but there are so many that change daily on Ebay. Just go to their site and search "Amrita Singh" prices range depending on piece from $29.99- $85. I have a necklace and other earrings from this brand. I love the quality and the colors are vibrant and beautiful. Xoxoxo

Healthy Vegetarian Breakfast



I'm no vegetarian but I tried this breakfast this morning and it was fantastic. I'm always looking for low carb, healthy recipes and my favorite Instagram account to follow is @mindovermunch. This particular recipe is a mushroom egg bake. I made stuffed mushrooms last night and I had a ton left over. So I chopped the rest (you can use 8 or 9oz) and sautéed them in 1 tsp olive oil.

Then I added 2 tsp chopped garlic and cooked for 5 minutes.  Season with salt, pepper, tyme and cook for two more minutes.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.  Transfer mushrooms to a baking dish. Crack two eggs on top of the mushrooms. Drizzle some milk on top and add a sprinkle of gruyere cheese. All I had was a five Italian blend cheese which worked just fine. Bake for 10-12 minutes. 

Here's the healthy deets:

1 bake equals 276 calories-only 14gcarbs- 15g fat-and a whopping 20g protein.

Distressed Boyfriend Shorts


I'm loving these distressed boyfriend shorts as seen on Hilary Duff courtesy of Starstyle.com. Some boyfriend shorts can look a little "mom-ish" because they're long and baggy. Not the same tight shorts that were in last summer. These shorts are from Rag and Bone and are $176.00. They're long but not too long. http://m.neimanmarcus.com/#product?itemid=prod165330197

Below is a pair of slightly distressed boyfriend shorts for only $13.70. These are from Urbanog.

Lastly you can always spend a little more for these distressed boyfriend shorts from American Eagle

Perfect Pink Lipstick


The only time I get to play with makeup and experiment with colors is when my one year old takes a morning nap. Today I found my favorite lip combo! I used Mac lipstick in Coral Bliss, Mac lip liner in Spice and from Mob Wives Drita D'Avanzos Just Me cosmetics line, Heartbreaker lip gloss. I feel like pairing a coral with a pinkish/mauve sparkly gloss creates the perfect color.

Stunning Shorts for Summer



Sequin shorts are a must for summer. There are some great for casual during the day and others that work for night. Let's start with these hot green sequin shorts. I would wear these with a black blouse on a date or even to a summer wedding. You can buy these from motel rocks.com for $25


Here is a more casual short which I would wear with a white top just like this model is wearing. These fabulous shorts are from makemechic.com only $23.


Javita Coffee Before and After Picture






I never plug a product that I don't believe in....ever! My friend had told me that her friend had lost a ton of weight drinking this Javita coffee stuff. I'm always skeptical about weight loss aides. I've used so many that don't work and I stopped altogether with Phentermine because I'm scared of liver damage. I bought the coffee off amazon just the 21 day supply in case I didn't like it. I think my pictures speak for itself. This is after drinking one cup in the morning a day for two weeks. It has Yerba mate and Garçinia Cambogia. It's 100% natural. There's nothing else I can say more then it really has been working for me. You can buy it here.

Maxi Dresses are a Must for Summer



There are different types of Maxi dresses but my favorite are the racer back styles. This black and cream striped dress is a gorgeous option for a casual night out.  This particular one is pricey and costs $200.  It's designed by Karina Grimaldi and you can find it on ShopBop. If I had the extra cash to blow I would buy this one for sure.  Of course there are much cheaper maxi dresses you will look hot in and of course......I found them. Check them all out below.




The Sexiest Maxi dress


This maxi dress is probably the sexiest one I've seen ever.  It's a mocha lace halter  dress with a hippy feel to it. You can get this dress at Zulily. Or so I've been told. I tried doing a rough search on the dress typing Mocha Lace Halter Dress and I couldn't get anything to come up. However several sources have pointed me to Zulily for this dress.  If you find it let me know!

Most Sought Out After Maxi



The Jennifer Lavender Maxi Dress is one of the most sought out after maxi dresses this season. It's all over Pinterest and other apps regarding fashion. This dress is only $50 and you can find it on Ecloset. I absolutely love this dress!

Spring Style



I love this combination for a great spring look. The peach scarf makes the perfect accessory. The shorts are short and the shirt is light enough that it's ok to wear a scarf. You can add the cardigan for when it gets cooler at night. Gold jewelry is a must with this outfit. You can find the scarf on Ebay for $7. The shorts from Hollister and the white tee from Forever 21.

Distressed Studded Jeans



No one loves distressed jeans more then me but these are different. Not only are they perfectly distressed but I love the studded accents. These jeans offer a hotter style to your normal jean. You can wear these dressed up with heels but I think it would look better with an off the shoulder sweatshirt and boots. You can buy them for only $20 off of Wanelo's website using the search Urbanog. They are currently sold out but follow their feed to grab them when they are back. Wanelo is a great site/app for fashion. It's kind of like "Where to Get it."

Black Peplum Summer Outfit YES!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes please! These Peplum tops have been popular over the winter with skirts as kind of a "work outfit" or "sophisticated get-up." Now with summer approaching this is the perfect hot summer nights outfit. It's still casual but classy. Of course it doesn't have to be black to be hot. Stand out with a full coral Peplum and short or even better white! You can guarantee you will see tons of celebrities wearing this same outfit within the next few months if they aren't already. You can pair the black Peplum top with any tight similar material short you have or just buy the set. The cheapest version would be at Forever 21 or http://www.amiclubwear.com one of my favorite "slutty" sites. Not that this outfit is slutty it's anything but! I'm just saying the site caters to "club go-er" chic. I'm more on the conservative side of slut but I'm not hating. It's just a great site so go!!!!!!!!!!!

Lace White Shorts the New Trend


Guaranteed this summer you will see at least 20 people wearing white lace shorts. I've already bought a few pairs in white, cream and black. This is the hot new trend and I absolutely love it. They're cute, sexy and add style along with any basic top.  I've seen a number of styles but the picture above is my epitome of the hot lace short.  The closest I could find to it that I actually think is hotter is the "Life's a Beach short" from http://www.whitefoxboutique.com for $39.00. I love the overlay at the bottom it's delicate but still makes a statement. 



Shorts like these are all over fashion web sites and apps right now and range from $10-$100.  Don't waste your money on the high end of the spectrum, it's unnecessary since they all look similar. You can find a great deal on white lace or other color shorts on Ebay. That is where I purchased mine before I found whitefoxboutique. Here is the link for the shorts I bought. http://bit.ly/1ceTSNt


Blue Maxi Skirt



I love this look as a whole. The blue maxi skirt with a plain white tank top. This skirt seen on Kim Kardashian is by Rachel Zoe and retails for $495. Not everyone can or should spend that kind of cash on a skirt. I found a cheaper version from http://www.newlook.com for $33.00 see below.


The Best Lip Plumper

Hands down the best lip plumper is Too Faced Cosmetics Lip Injection. This product has been endorsed by Jennifer Lopez among other celebrities. Real Housewife of Miami Joanna Krupa also admitted on Watch What Happens Live that this is her favorite lip product.  I've been using it for three years and have stopped getting Restylane injections because of it. Here is my before and after.


 
When you combine this with a lip plumping lip gloss like Smashbox carries pow! You've got huge plump lips for hours. Get yours here.

Discounted Designer Bikinis

It's time to start shopping for bikini's for summer. Now is better than ever while we are still in the winter months and most web sites are having their sales. Prices are bound to start going up within the next few months as spring approaches.  I found a new great website that sells designer bikinis for less. Now they are still expensive because they're designer but you can get a great 2014 bathing suit for the price that Have Faith Swimgerie or Beach Bunny Swimwear sells for their out of date ones.

The web site is South Beach Swimsuits . Take a look at the ones I found from two of my favorite swimsuit designers.

My favorite so far is this L Space Carnivale powder blue bikini. A long with vodka and lace, bows are one of my favorite things. I plan on purchasing this bottom to go along with one of my white bikini tops I already have. I haven't seen one like this so far. 


This basic black is anything but basic. It's a Vitamin A bikini with a cool pattern. The bikini as a hole will run you just under $200.00. You can always do what I do and mix and match tops and bottoms so you can turn two bikini's into 4 swim suits. That basically makes it worth the money. Plus the quality of these suits will last you years.




The next one is from L Space and what a gorgeous color. Corals and watermelon colors are it for spring and summer. This is a 2014 Hippie Chic bikini and I just love the back. I currently have a basic watermelon colored bottom so I just purchased the top only for $95 to make my bathing suit look more appealing. I love the roped looking back of it. If you want both the top and bottom expect to pay around $200.00.


Now they do have other suits in the $48 range as well. Below is one I chose in coral again a go to for summer. This is a Despi 2013 bandeau bikini in coral.


Again you get what you pay for in most cases. I've purchased cheap swimsuits in the past that have fallen apart after one wash or one swim. I feel like spending a little more money goes a long way and again you can mix and match over the years. You can always go to Target and buy a swim suit but do you really want to wear a suit that someone else might be wearing at the same pool? I was mortified a long time ago when I wore a white lace bikini I got at Target to the beach and there was a teenager probably 16 or 17 wearing the same thing. I thought never again!!!!!!

Kim Kardashian Spring Looks

Kim Kardashian is a style inspiration for me. I love almost all of her legs except for most of her pregnancy choices which weren't flattering. This spring with her new figure Kim will be one of the celebrities to watch. Pastels, light blues, mint, corals, peach and cream colors are going to be huge this spring. I love this jacket it would look great with a pair of white jeans or white shorts. The jacket Kim is wearing is a mint ALC Blazer for a whopping $698. 


I found a comparable mint blazer for only $17.00 on Ebay.



The next look is a beautiful beige and black sundress that is so chic it can be worn to a formal event in the summer or spring. I can't seem to find who designed this particular one so if you know please post a comment. I'm on an intense search for it so check back hopefully I will find out today.

Coral Lace Romper

This coral romper from Jaide Clothing is everything.

You have lace, a romper, coral all in one. Sign me up for one this is gonna be so hot for summer. Get yours while they last. Depending on where I go I can be a little self conscious about showing too much cleavage. That's why this would be perfect as a swimsuit cover up or wearing a white spaghetti strap tank underneath.
