August Wishlist

Hi loves ♥

Today I wanted to post yet another wishlist. I love creating wishlists because there's always so many things that I want and having a visual to look back at makes creating wishlists 10x better. So here's my August Wishlist!

August Wishlist by biabu featuring shell jewelry

1. Alex and Ani Jewelry- I recently discovered this website last month and I am so in love with the bangles! Check out my full Alex and Ani wishlist here!
2. MICHAEL Michael Kors Bag- I've been obsessing over Michael Kors this past month. I could definitely see a splurge coming on.
3. Fossil Wallet- I've always wanted a Kate Spade wallet, but $200 for a wallet? No, thank you. These Fossil wallets look so much like the Kate Spade ones I oh, so adore. But for a quarter of the price!
4. Dogeared Necklaces- Anything that's jewelry that also has an added message, I'll love. That's why I went through all the necklaces to find my top faves, check out my list here.
5. Sleep Masks- Whenever I sleep with a sleep mask, I truly feel like a princess. You can never have enough!
6. Makeup Necessities- The Naked 3 palette, Rosebud Salve, and Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer? Just a few of the things I need!

What's on your wishlist? Let me know in the comments!

July Wishlist

Hi loves ♥

This month, I've been doing a lot of thinking and getting my creative juices flowing, as you can see by the increase in posts & quality lately. On this past Sunday, I was experiencing some major writers block but then an idea popped into my head and then another and another... needless to say, that frustrating couple of hours turned into some great blog ideas. So here I am, writing my July Wishlist, one of the ideas that came flying in, and I hope to continue with more monthly wishlists. Let me know in the comments if you have any post ideas!

July Wishlist by biabu featuring embroidered throw pillows

1. Good Morning Gorgeous Pillow- I've been wanting to redecorate my room for months now and I think this pillow would add the perfect touch. It also has a great message that would surely keep me smiling.
2. Moorea Seal Jewelry- The Moorea Seal Pinterest account has received lots of love from me over that past few years. I am completely in love with their jewelry and 7% of all proceeds go to 5 non-profit causes!
3. Retro Sunnies- I've been obsessing over these vintage style sunglasses for quite some time now, there's just something that makes me want to channel my inner Audrey Hepburn.
4. Pumps- Who doesn't love a classic pump? They're super chic and go with everything.
5. Comfy Socks- My socks always tend to disappear after washing them so I am mostly left with socks that have no matches which is why I have been seriously craving some new cute socks. 
6. Tory Burch Robinson Mini Dome Satchel- Can we just take a moment to admire this bag? Seriously, I need everything ever made by Tory Burch.

Fourth of July Style

Fourth of July Style by biabu featuring a white t shirt

For today's post, I decided to put together a couple Fourth of July looks and add some accessory inspiration just in time for America's big day. I don't know about you, but I like to keep my look simple for the 4th. Every year, my family goes down to our local waterfront park to watch the large display of fireworks and celebrate independence. With that in mind, a pair of cropped jeans with a simple tee and some gladiator sandals are a perfect look for July 4th (and a practical one, too), I would complete the look with a cute patriotic accessory right on-point for this special day. Another alternative is a casual patriotic tank paired with some light wash denim cut-offs and a cute pair of white sneakers. However you style your Independence Day look, make sure to have a great one! 

How do you celebrate the 4th, look and all? Comment below!

Hit or Miss?

Hello loves ✿

Today, I wanted to open up a discussion on the Birkenstock sandal. Over the past few months, it seems as though people are trying to make these sandals the next trend. However, some others think that they are the most hideous things created. While these shoes are undoubtedly comfortable, I count this trend as a miss because in my opinion, they look like gross granny shoes. As the good old Regina George once said to her friend Gretchen Wieners, "Stop trying to make fetch happen!". I can't imagine these shoes looking good with any outfit, but hey, if you rock them, then keep on werrrking it girl.

So what do you think about these shoes? Let me know in the comments below!

Now Trending: NAKED

Hi guys!

Getty Images

Lately, there has been lots of talk over the gown that Rihanna wore to the CFDA Awards a couple of weeks ago and whether or not it was appropriate. Although I feel that I am very late on this topic, I think that it's very interesting and it needs to be addressed. First of all, I need to say that RiRi looks absolutely stunning and if anyone could pull of a "naked" dress, it would definitely be her. Now that's not to say that I didn't feel caught-off guard when I first saw her look. To be completely honest, when I first scrolled past a pic of her in that dress on Tumblr, my first reaction was "What the hell?". However, I then thought about the look and came to the realization that my reaction was completely out of envy. Yes, I admit, sometimes I tend to downgrade things just because of my own insecurities, I mean, I think that we all do that from time to time. So after I got past all my personal issues, I really started admiring Rihanna for being confident enough to show her body off like that in such a gorgeous gown. I think that wearing dresses to feel a little sexy is good and helps build up your confidence, after all, our bodies are perfect the way they are and we shouldn't be ashamed to show them off. So props to Rihanna. Oh, and did I mention that the custom made dress has 216,000 Swarovski crystals implanted on to it! 

Now Rihanna may have started the "Naked" Trend, but we saw one other celeb trying it out at the Capital FM Summertime Ball. And when I say "trying it out", I mean trying to make it work...but horribly failing. Sorry, I love you Rita Ora, but this looks like an outfit you'd see someone wearing while standing on the corner of a street in Vegas.

Summer 2014 Vacation Essentials

Hi guys ✿

With Summer almost here I thought that it was necessary to create a Vacation Essentials list, so that's just what I did! Before taking your next trip over to the beach, check these essentials off your list to make sure that you have the best beach day.

(HINT!!! Click on the collage above to find out where everything is from)

1. Neoprene Bikini's- Neoprene bikini's are all the rage this summer season, they are adorable and come in a variety of fun colors.
2. Cute Tote- When you're heading to the beach you don't want to be carrying a lot of things so having a cute tote to stuff your things in is the way to go! 
3. Simple Sandals- Don't bother bringing a nice pair of sandals when you go to the beach because you don't want to ruin them, instead opt for a nice simple pair of flip-flops. 
4. Fun Sunnies- Protect your eyes with an oh-so adorable pair of sunglasses that you can just have fun in! Oh and they also make great for a nice beach selfie session. (;
5. Chic Cover-up- When you're not in the water, a chic little cover-up makes for perfect beach side lounging.
6. Sun Screen- When you're out in the sun, don't forget that SPF! I've been there and trust me- you don't wanna know what that sunburn was like.
7. Summer Read- After a day of laying out in the sun and jumping the waves, it's nice to finally lay down and relax with a little summer read.

2014 Summer Must-Haves

1. Logo Tee's- Logos have been popping up on shirts all over the runway, this Alexander Wang tank gives the logo look a classic twist.

3. Wide-Leg Pants- These pants offer a boho vibe and are perfect paired with crop tops!
4. Chokers- Choker necklaces might just be one of my favorite trends this season because they satisfy my love for 90's style.

6. Purple, White & Metallic Nails- Crisp white nails & metallic polishes...hmm that sounds like the spring/summer 2014 runways! Purple nails have also been spotted on street style.
7. Beachy Waves- It is summer and that means beach, sun, tan! What better way to represent what this season's all about than some surf spray?

Website of The Week

Hello ✿

 It is time for another Website of the Week, and this week's choice is.... Polyvore! I have been on Polyvore for just about 2 years and I think that it is super useful. I personally love looking at and creating inspiration boards which is basically what Polyvore is for. If you're ever wondering what is currently trending or if you simply need some outfit inspiration, then Polyvore is a great website to visit. I continue to use Polyvore for clothing inspiration however, I also create my own sets. My Polyvore account is here, but please don't judge me! Some of the sets on my account were created years ago so they may be very sloppy...I should probably delete them! Well, on a side note- I also have some great sets that I made last year. So head over to Polyvore if you haven't already, and if you make an account, be sure to follow the best (me)! I have included one of my sets below.
