[FASHION] Festival Season

As winter progressively turns into spring, festivals are on everyone's mind! The Osheaga line up was just released today, and many music festivals are already coming up. Although this has often been done before, here are a few ideas of things I might wear to a festival. You can always play around it, and add your on twist to the looks.

Light Denim Cutoffs

As spring and summer approaches, it'll soon be time to dig out the shorts. There are so many fun and interesting styles to be found. Try to stick to a lighter denim to really get that summer feel.

2. Lagem Heart Denim - about $22 Runway Bandits

3. Reaper Cutoff Shorts - $85 Nasty Gal

Fringy Fringe

Fringe is a festival must! Being on a top, bottom, dress, or even handbags. Perfect for that boho feel, and mega fun to dance around in.

2. Embroidered Fringe Crop Top - about $39 Topshop

3. Sienna Fringe Bag - $65 Nasty Gal

Keep It Flowy

With summer comes heat. Try wearing a more lose shape with light fabric. Wearing something like this while feel wonderful when a cool breeze comes in to cool you down.

[CHALLENGE] February = FAILED

As you guys may have noticed, I've totally let you down this month. Two months in to my challenge, and I'm failing! I did have ideas and plans for DIY's, but as mentioned in the last post, money was a little tight this month. It was tough to get supplies. I will try my best to make it up to you! Fortunately, I was able to continue my January challenge into this month. The video is complete and posted! Take a look and let me know what you think. You can find the description of each day on the video's YouTube page and be sure to watch it in HD. Enjoy!

[OUTFIT] Sparkle Up!

My spending money has been pretty tight lately. To justify myself for not purchasing anything at the Value Village 50% off sale on Monday, I told myself it was OK to get this $10  sparkly blazer jacket thing from Urban Outfitters. It is a little bit tight in the shoulders, but for $10 I couldn't complain too much. I thought it was a really fun piece, so why not?! I also loved the idea of dressing it down by wearing a beanie with it. It adds a bit of extra edge. 

Blazer - Urban Outfitters

Pants - Aritzia

Shoes - Steve Madden

[OUTFITs] The Fashion Citizen Clothing Swap Collab!

Well, I GIVE UP! I'm going to post this any way. I've waited well over a month for a reply from them, without any luck.

I'm excited to share this post with everyone! I got in touch with Steph from the famous YouTube channel The Fashion Citizen to do a sort of vintage/second hand clothing swap! Along with pieces of clothing, we wanted to send each other things that sort of represent where we come from, Steph and Melissa being from Arizon. Take a look at what they sent me!

Unfortunately, they don't seem to want to make a video sharing what I sent them. If you'd like to find out what I've sent them, it would mean the world to me if you could message them! Thank you.
