The Trendy Gal

February is such a short month but also a great one! What comes to mind when you think about February? Maybe chocolate hearts, sappy Hallmark cards, and couples because that’s what I think of. There’s so many other things that February can be for you. Basically the only colors you see in the store pink and red which are both pretty bold colors. Take the time this month to try and do something bold! Stand up for someone, tell someone how you really feel, test a new fashion trend you’ve been dying to try! You might be amazed with you boldness! So instead of thinking of February as this sappy couples month, be bold and proud of you! Here’s so of my favorite looks for February!

So most of the time if I had the option between joggers and jeans I would go for the joggers (I mean who wouldn’t)! I also really enjoy looking put together. I decided to experiment with some things in my closet to put together some looks for y’all that are outfits with joggers but outfits that are a lot nicer than that v-neck tee you wear on repeat!

One way you can dress up your joggers is by adding a cute cami and a blazer. I have been wearing this cami on repeat lately because I love I that much! I feel like the lace detail just adds so much to it and instantly makes the outfit much dressier. I also love this boyfriend blazer because it’s so warm yet breathable still. I love this combo because I can so see myself wearing this to lunch with friends. One thing I love about dressing up joggers is that if you do go out to eat you don’t have the uncomfortableness of tight jeans or pants that makes you feel super bloated so I love this. I paired my joggers with a maroon colored tank and a jean jacket making it super casual without looking lazy. y’all this jacket is seriously a great investment! It really ties everything in my outfit together and I love that! It’s super soft and goes great with this stripped bodysuit. I love this bodysuit because of the way it is crisscrossed in the front. It really compliments all body types! This outfit is great with joggers! The vest is what really makes this outfit more dressy! I’m wearing a white long sleeve crop top underneath the vest which is super comfortable! I love these looks and I hope y’all do too!

Hey y’all! So this week I got some questions about where to shop if you’re plus size and I am super excited about this post! I love hearing from y’all and I love this post because when I started my blog my goal was to inspire ladies of all shapes and sizes to feel comfortable in clothes and ultimately feel fashionable! This week I did a little research on numerous stores that I thought yall would like!

The first store that I enjoy shopping at is Loft. They have a plus size selection coming very soon and I can’t wait to see whats available. I really like Loft because they have a lot of sleek outfits that are great for every occasion! I especially have been obsessed with there jackets lately as well. Another thing that I struggle with is having big boobs. I am 17 and most of the clothes for my age can look sleazy and low cut and meant to be worn without a bra. Loft has been a great solution because I can get the same style of clothes that aren’t as revealing but still cute so if you’re chesty, Loft is a great store for you.

Another store that has a good plus size selection is Asos. This store has some pricey items but also a lot of pieces that are affordable. Asos is awesome because it has a lot of trendy pieces that are not necessarily as expensive as designer brands. I also love Asos because they have a lot of awesome statement pieces which every girl needs!

Along with statement pieces, every girl needs cute activewear for working out or just lounging around at home. Old Navy is a great solution for inexpensive activewear that still has a good quality to it. I love all of the bold printed leggings they have and I love how supportive the sports bras are!

Here are a few things that I found from each store that I thought would look so cute on y’all!

Black Strappy tee $17.50: It’s on sale!!

Pink Triangle back tank $15: On sale!!

Black speck sports bra $17.50: On sale!!

Rasberry Leggings $21.50: On sale!!

Blue ombre leggings $21.50: Guess what, there on sale!!

Black romper $35.00

Ruffle tee $40

Tee shirt dress $24

Pink ruffle dress $40

Leopard print t-shirt dress $29

Polka dot leggings $26

I am a shopaholic. If shopping was a career I would be a million air! If you’re like me then your wallet does not keep up with all your purchases, sadly which means all you can do is sit on your couch and scroll through your favorite store’s websites and put stuff in your cart and not actually press purchase. If you think about it, its kind of depressing (but also a little bit satisfying). But what if I told you that you can still shop for really cute clothes that won’t break your budget! I love deals and I mean who doesn’t. I stopped growing around 4th grade. I grew an inch or half an inch until my freshman year of high school and then I just stopped (it was tragic). This meant that my freshman year I could wear most of my clothes from 4th grade still because I hadn’t really changed in size. It’s difficult when you love clothes and your size is not changing and clothes are so expensive so I really started to get into stores that wouldn’t break my wallet as much.

Marshalls: Marshalls is one of my favorite budget stores to shop at. They always have a great selection of many different styles and they are always very trendy. One thing I love is that they do carry some designer brands but at a lower price which is always great. They also have a great selection of home decor which is one of my favorite things. They have shelves and shelves of decor and it’s inexpensive but good quality.

TJ Maxx: TJ Maxx is by the same company as Marshalls, however, I feel like TJ Maxx has more selection when it comes designer brands. Some brands I like to shop for there are Free People, Kate Spade, Cloth and Stone, and many others. TJ Maxx a bit more pricey than Marshalls but if you search through the racks you can always find some good deals.

Nordstrom Rack: Nordstrom Rack is on the pricey side for shopping on a budget because it’s all designer brands. You’re probably wondering why I included it if it’s still pricey. I included it because they always have sales and clearance items marked way down so you could find a top originally $30 for $12 which is awesome! It’s also great for finding deals on designer items if you don’t want to pay as much as the original price tag.

These are my favorite stores to shop at on a budget. Let me know in the comments what you’re favorites are! Don’t forget to follow my blog! Caio!

I have always been a Lucy Hale fan ever since I was obsessed with pretty little liars. Her character Aria always had such a bold wardrobe and I loved it. I was scrolling through Pinterest and came across this gorgeous picture and I just had to do a similar look! So if you want to learn how I got this look then keep scrolling! 🙂

Prime your face with your favorite primer. I use two primers because my skin is very oily and has sort of a rough texture so it’s always hard to get makeup to stick. I use the Too Faced Primed and Poreless on my nose and all over my forehead. I use Maybelline Baby Skin for the rest of my face making sure I get it all over my tricky spots where makeup doesn’t like to stay.

I then take my beauty blender which is like a soft sponge and I apply Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse in the shade porcelain ivory all over my face as my foundation.In the picture, her skin is very smooth and this foundation was not getting my skin as smooth as I wanted I also went in with the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse in the shade porcelain ivory just to smooth out the foundation and I used a stippling brush to apply it. Next I concealed my eyes very lightly with the Tarte Shape Tape Concealer in the shade fair beige. This concealer is very full coverage when you use a lot it can make your under eyes very white so for this look I used the smallest amount of concealer possible.  After that I used my beauty blender and my Airspun powder to set under my eyes.

So it didn’t look like she had a lot of bronzer or contour on her cheeks but I still went in with my Hoola Bronzer by Benefit just to add a little something to the cheeks. I use the small brush to apply it on my cheeks and the bigger brush to smooth it out. 

Next, I use the same Airspun powder and a large powder brush to set my whole face. Some people don’t set all over their face but I find that if you have dry oily skin your makeup stays longer if you set your whole face. This also helps to make your skin look more smooth as well.

I then went in with my Milani powder blush in the shade tea rose and applied this to my cheeks.

I then used my NYX Professional Makeup Micro Brow Pencil in the shade ash brown and really darkened the brows. It looked like hers were pretty dark so I applied it all over.

After this, I noticed she had some eyeliner on that wasn’t really thick so I used the Maybelline Eyestudio cream liner in the shade blackest black and applied it to the top and bottom of my eyelids. Then I coated my lashes with one of my favorite mascaras the Maybelline Mega Plush Volume express mascara and really darkened up my lashes.

Lastly, I applied Loreal lipstick in the shade raisin rapture on my lips to finish off my face. 

I curled my hair with my Prolis curling wand using the biggest barrel I have on the setting 200. I wrapped small sections of hair around it and held each section for 10 seconds. This gives your hair a little bit of wave perfect for this look. 

Heres the finished look!

This look was super easy to do and only took about 20 minutes! I hope y’all enjoyed and let me know if you liked it by leaving a comment! Caio!
