Swimwear Fickle

Hey everyone! It's Sharry! How is everyone? Me? Oh yeah, no, I'm fine, perfectly fine...except for the fact that it's summer and I have a pool party this weekend to go to and I still don't have the perfect swimsuit for it or any swimsuit for the summer which I'm going to be spending most my time in when I go to Seattle for the first two weeks of July...so nah not really...I'm in a frantic fickle...help me?

I've been looking up online and at stores and I've found a lot of cute pieces but I wasn't sure which one to get because the last thing you want to do is be in a swimsuit and feel uncomfortable and wish you bought a different one. So, since I couldn't find the exact replicas of the ones I saw in some stores I'll give you a basic idea of what I saw.

Let's begin shall we? :)

For starters I don't really like one pieces...I don't know why but they don't look flattering on me and it doesn't feel really comfortable either :P Tankinis and regular two pieces are what I lean forward to more

so these two are just regular type swimsuits. I really like them because of their bandeau tops and the one on the left is ruffled and pretty but the one on the right is polka-dotted with daisies.

Then we have this bathing suit with a cute top and boyfriend underwear type bottom going on. And the pattern is really cool. And when you look at the bottoms you see on the side this cool pattern type thing. 

I think this one is weird and cute at the same time but I can't decide. The top is really cool...it looks like a bustier which interests me a lot. But I'm not sure about the pattern. I don't know :P

Then we get to these last three which I'm pretty much in love with this style! It's very retro and cute.

So, what do you guys think? And sorry for my frantic sounding post haha I think I'll be calm in a little bit.

Oh and also on my personal blog, Under Peach Trees, I did a D.I.Y. of how to make jeans into shorts which is perfect if you live on this side of the world cuz it's summer :D and a hot one at that!

I hope you all have an awesome Thursday!!!

help wanted? summer proof makeup

hey its coco. so question to all of you readers- whether you check our blog and follow us or if you are just stopping by for a moment. as some of the previous posts have sad i LOVE-ADORE(-and many other synonyms) makeup.

 i'm going to be working outside this summer being a lifeguard/swim instuctor most likely so i'm interested in what you guys consider the best WATERPROOF or SWEATPROOF makeup?? being in the sun all day is going to be challenge enough since i burn super (super) easily...

luckily i have some ideas of how to get a tan instead (see our previous post "getting golden this summer") but i have no idea what to wear makeup wise in order to look good while sweating and being in the water.

if you have any ideas of what i can invest in (thats cheap) and summer-proof i'd love to hear it!
post any ideas in the comments sections. plus if you have anything you'd like us to post on leave it in the comments. i don't mind investigating and experimenting if you guys have questions about makeup, tanning, books, music etc.

thanks everyone. have a splendid day.

summer lists-reading

hey its coco and with a lot of people starting summer here's a little of what i'm doing. so i spent a ton of my mama's money. and by that i mean like $15 on a couple books this last weekend at half price books. the books i got our my summer reading for these up coming months. like any intelligent girl with limited time i intend to make my reading time count. so i got books that i think i can apply to my life.
   


the first book i got "he's just not that into you" which i have made my read while i tan book and to say its amazing is an understatement. its witty and truthful. boy i could have saved a lot of heartache reading this earlier! i haven't finished it yet, but let me inform you a little bit about what it is about.

the book focuses on a man's perspective of all the excuses that women use to say that a man is interested in them, but not dating/getting into a relationship with a woman. its very VERY funny. i highly encourage all girls, women, females, and heck maybe even some males to read it!

the second book i got is "act like a lady, think like a man" which i haven't started reading, but i love the guy who wrote it (steve harvey)! he was very funny when i saw him on jimmy fallon the other night (you can watch the interview here) plus it was recently made a movie (ironic since so was he's just not into you)... anyways i'll review that one when i finally get to reading it! however i think i'll probably like it since one of my mottos in life is "i never said i was a lady, just a woman".

the last book i got was "fashion inside out" by daniel vosovic. some of you know daniel vosovic from project runway: season 2 (he was the runner-up i think... he was at least top three and ahh i loved him). this i don't think is being made a movie, however, the author was on a reality tv show so i think that kind of counts? haha and from what i saw when i looked through it, it looks really informative. it takes the reader from inspiration to sketches to samples to runway to getting the collection bought by the fashion buyers. plus theres this weird fuzzy texture on the cover so i kind of had to get it!

add in my massive amount of issues of elle, harpers bazar, etc. that i haven't even opened yet, and i have lots (LOTS) to read this summer.

anyways what are you guys reading this summer? got any good suggestions? post 'em in the comments! i do need some other books to read to add on to my list :)

have a good day and happy reading!\

a little combination

 hey everyone. its coco. so my fashion style is defiantly similar but not the same as sharry's! if it had to be put into very few words, i would say comfy. cute. i like to dress how i feel. so some days im in a dress, cardigan, with a belt. but other times i feel the need to wear only sweats and a tank top. all my images are taken from mystyleblend board on pinterest so none of them are really me, but its all my favorite stuff!

but my favorite outfit would have to be anything with a maxi skirt. i love my black maxi skirt. my style is for sure boho-but still sometimes a blazer or dress. i rock mine with lots of stuff, but usually a cropped shirt like a v-neck white shirt.

Maxi is really just my obsession, but another obsession is hair. i love these scarfs like this... (to the left) 

to get what patterns i like think these basic three words.

...zig-zag, feather, lace.... 

i really like the more normal-boho look. although honestly i'm usually in a t-shirt and shorts! 

heres a picture overload of what i love! hope you enjoy. i'll be posting about my makeup obsessions very soon! love. coco

 

A Bit of Inspiration

Hey everyone! It's Sharry! I just wanted to share with you guys a bit about my style inspirations. (Coco will be doing a post like this eventually also)

Being in high school, having a personal style is very important. But finding that certain style can be very hard. I believe the key to finding your personal style is to find something you yourself are comfortable with and not necessarily what your friends think you should wear. In other words: Truly.Be.Yourself.

For me, I love piecing together an outfit that combines classy and creative together. Also, I love inventing new things out of old ones. A perfect example of this would be this outfit of mine. I bought the blazer at a really cheap price from a thrift store and made it my own by putting buttons on it.

I also get a lot of inspiration from different people. Taking their style and twisting it to make it my own. Here are some people whose style I absolutely adore!

Allison Harvard and Amanda Thomas

Freya Mavor and Kaya Scoledario

Tieka and Zooey Deschanel

There you have it :) A little touch of my personal style! 

So how about you guys? Tell us about you personal style and who inspires you! We'd love to know :)

Have a great day everyone!
