I Don't Know Fashion: My Travel Style in New Orleans

-
I haven't done a fashion-related post in FOREVER!! If you are new to my blog, basically this series is where I share my more "fashionable" posts. But I am NOT fashion expert nor do I really know fashion, hence the name, "I Don't Know Fashion" 😏

Eating a beignet from Cafe Du Monde. 10/10 would recommend

I went to New Orleans recently for a girls trip. Auburn (my alma mater) was playing LSU in Baton Rouge, so with Halloween around the corner, we thought it would be a good time to go to New Orleans and NOT go to the actual game, but still celebrate and have fun, lol. My friends were planning on wearing football jerseys, but y'all, I'm from Auburn, Alabama. A town where the average everyday look for a girl in their 20s is an XL t-shirt with leggings or Nike shorts. The only time girls dress up is for football games or going out for the night. I am slowly growing out of my shell where I don't care what people think about my outfits, but sometimes it's just weird to wear certain clothes in a town where everyone has a similar style. Like I want to stand out, but not stick out like a sore thumb, ya know? I have no clue if I'm making any sense, lol. But anyways, New Orleans is a city where you can literally wear whatever you want and no one will bat an eye and you will fit right in whether you're wearing a rainbow tutu or wearing a sackcloth. It is so great! I had a couple of pieces in my closet where I haven't found an occasion to wear in Auburn, but I knew it would be perfect in New Orleans and be somewhat "team spirit" since there was orange and blue in my outfit, but also casual and comfy for walking around and not be too dressed up. Am I making any sense?

I am honestly kinda over the crop top trend and how every store seems to refuse to sell tops that aren't cropped?? I wouldn't say I'm the most conservative dresser in the world, but I don't like showing too much skin. And nowadays, I feel like crop tops are basically as short as a sports bra. Like there is a time and place to wear super cropped tops, but most of the time, it is NOT the time and place, lol. Am I still making sense? So I ordered this top thinking it was a longer crop top because it looked long on the model, but it came in the mail and surprise, it was smaller than I anticipated. Well, at least short enough where I had to wear high waisted pants for it not to look too scandalous. I don't know why I even bother ordering tops off the internet because literally half of the tops I order end up being way more revealing than I anticipate, lol. So anyways, this top came in and I knew I was probably never going to wear it unless I went to a music festival, so it came with me to New Orleans! It was super comfy and I paired it with these chambray pants which I tied up at the top to make it super high-waisted so I wasn't showing too much skin, lol. I would normally finish an outfit like this with a jacket or cardigan, but I didn't want to carry around a jacket just in case it got hot.

Top: Forever 21
Pants: Forever 21
Shoes: Converse
Fanny pack: Walmart

Olly Undeniable Beauty HSN Vitamin Review (with before and after photos!)

I have always had pretty clear skin. If I ever had breakouts, which was more frequent in college, I was able to eventually pinpoint what exactly caused it, and it would usually be linked to stress or a certain food. And it was usually like 2-3 breakouts, so nothing like super crazy. The breakout would happen, I would freak out for a second (probably post a snapchat about it 🙊), and then my skin would go back to normal. But in the past 5ish months, my skin has changed. The breakouts have been more regular and my skin isn't as smooth as it used to be. I have been trying to figure out why because there hasn't been any significant change in the products I use or the food I eat. Like I was going to post an updated skin care routine and then my skin went crazy and I scrapped the idea (for now) . But I was open to using some kind of supplement that would help improve my skin and hair.  Well, mostly my skin, but I wasn't opposed to hair growth. The vitamins I originally want

New York City Guide: Taylor Swift Edition (With the walking path attached!)

-
Image
So my fiancé and I went to NYC during the weekend of the 1989 (Taylor's Version) release, so I thought it was only appropriate to plan a Taylor Swift-themed tour especially since 1989 has been referred to as the New York City album. Am I crazy? Yes. But was it fun? YES!!! I thought I could share our tour with you guys, if any Swifties ever want to do the same. And if you're going with a significant other who doesn't like Taylor Swift related activities, just lie and say you're going to some cool new spots to check out. I may or may not have done that. He may or may not have found out during the tour but it was too late to back out. Hehe 🙈 This is a walking guide and I made sure all the places were easy to navigate. I have two brain cells when it comes to directions, so if I can do it, you guys can do it too! 55 Franklin Street, New York, NY 10013 Significance: TS lived in the top floor condo. We started our tour in Tribeca. Super empty street, which makes sense why she

Easy 70s Halloween Costume

We made a girls trip to New Orleans and wanted to dress up for Halloween while we were there! But we didn't want to do anything super crazy or expensive, so we decided to go as hippies/70s girls. Or how most people will call it.... #BASIC. Where we got our stuff: Tie-dye shirts - Me and my friend Brandee went to Hobby Lobby and bought t-shirts and Tulip brand Tie Dye. Literally everything we bought was on sale and cheap, so highly suggest going to Hobby Lobby if you decide to make t-shirts! They also have 40% coupons on their website which works on pretty much anything that doesn't already have a discount. Glasses, Necklaces, Headbands - Ordered a set of four glasses, necklaces, and headbands from Amazon for $14.99 How we made the t-shirts: I might make a separate blog post on this because there are different ways to get the perfect tie-dye look and I'm still curious to find out how to get perfection because ours weren't perfect (close to perfect,
