Summer Vacation Lookbook 2017.

While words are generally my preferred method of communication, sometimes it's kind of fun to try new things. Soooo...without further ado, the boyfriend and I did some vacation lookbook experimenting. Hope you guys enjoy. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

As always, thanks for stopping by!

The Simple (Vacay) Life.

When talking about vacation clothes, one of the bloggers I avidly follow was mentioning her rule for packing - it all needs to be flowy. Girrrrrl, do I feel you. There's three more looks from this trip coming your way, and each one of them has at least one element that's breathable and has movement. For someone who claims to not be boho, I really stand by my vacay loose clothes and rustic patterns. 

There's not much to say about this simple, shorts and crop top pairing - it just is what it needs to be and brings comfort to the most heatwave-plagued days. Let's take a moment and zoom in on that necklace, though. I bought it during the high school years, at a Bucharest (Romania) arts and crafts fair. Its DIY aesthetic definitely captured my attention and I thought I was the biggest badass for buying something that all of my friends would probably never be caught wearing. You know that person that just naturally "pulls off" stuff (or at least aspires to)? Yeahhh, that may or may not have been me during that time. And, well, forever aspiring.

Inexpensive Summer Shorts for Curves.

You. Guys! I am the most picky about bottoms - as in, I want them inexpensive and fitting like a glove, which is usually a witch hunt since I'm short and, well, round. As you've probably noticed if you've been around these parts before, my collection of bottoms is very minimal... but lawd knows I try. 

Now enter my surprise guest: Forever 21. I'm honestly still in shock that I'm saying this. Although their $9 skinny denim has always been kind to me, I still find them a bit rough in the bottoms department otherwise. But hey, after discovering their freakin' awesome formfitting distressed denim shorts, I might just stand corrected. Really though, I'm impressed with the way in which Forever 21 is constantly improving its styles. From their swimsuits to their super dope plus size section, they're definitely one major retailer to keep on watching. 

Stay tuned for more vacay looks, and maybe possibly even a YouTube lookbook *gasp* Happy Sunday, fam!
