Shopping at American Eagle Outfitters

I'm really drawn to shoes right now, so I'm going to definitely be getting both of these shoes!  I didn't know Sam Edelman was doing shoes for AE...great prices!  These espadrilles are ONLY $50!  Plus, don't forget, you can get a coupon when checking in on four square for the store.  And you can get points for shopping that give you more discounts by getting the AE benefits card.
The first top looks so retro and I LOVE!  The first dress has a paisley print so I'm drawn to it of course:)  The second dress has an eyelet design that is classic and perfecto for the spring.
My final shot out is to the crop corset that is perfect with high waisted items (skirts, pants, and shorts) or layered over a dress.
Have fun shopping at AE!

Check out my guest post for Spa Week Daily

I'm excited to share the guest post that just went up for Spa Week Daily where I am apart of the Hot Mom Spa Squad.  Check it out here and enjoy my 6 Cheap & Easy At-Home Beauty Escapes. (That anyone can try, even if you aren't a mommy.  Have fun!)

P.S.  Spa Week will be here April 16-22 so get ready!  $50 treatments and your favorite spa's! 

Trend alert: Are you knotting your tops?

I keep seeing street style bloggers showcasing people knotting their tops and was wondering if everyone else is doing it...I'm LOVING this styling technique and have done it a few times...I say it's a year round styling not just summer as you can see below. I prefer using button downs, but, you can also use a classic T to give more shape to the look.
From Gap Mag



You can buy tops that have a knot already established.  Styles to try here, here, here and here.
Cupcakes & Cashmere
Moi testing out the trend.  I also love it with high waisted jeans, short, skirts, etc.

Make your Wardrobe more Interesting through Indie Clothing

*This is a sponsored post for a brand, Sway Chic I just learned about that has styles you are going to love and prices you can't beat!  I'd say the styling is like Forever 21 meets Free People.  I thought this was a brand to get on your radar! Hope you enjoy!

Sway Chic




One of the most effective means to make yourself unique and put on show the real you is through your wardrobe. By wearing unique clothes, you will set yourself apart from the masses. If you do your shopping for clothes at department stores or the popular brand name shops, you’re likely to buy what everyone else around you is also buying. As such, you will be wearing the type of clothing that is common to most people. On the other hand, if you step into the cute dresses scene, you’ll be buying shirts that are one of a kind and there’s one in a million chance that you will be meeting someone else wearing the same shirt. Every time we dress differently, we get compliments and it pleases us that other people find our outfit flattering. But how do you achieve the look that will set you apart from the majority and draw other people’s attention towards you? If you can implement the following steps when shopping for cheap indie clothing, then nothing could possibly go wrong. Make sure that the tee-shirt you pick out has a unique design. Wearing a witty or funny shirt can be helpful if you don’t want to be identified with the majority. It’s also a sophisticated means to reveal some aspects of your personality. On top of this, go for a shirt that’s exquisitely designed. Try to avoid getting something with excessive or overwhelming prints like somebody carelessly sprayed paint all over it. Indie fashion essentially adheres more to designs that are simple and straightforward.
