My Inner Jersey Girl

July 18, 2011 by

I like the show Jerseylicious. I’m not going to hang my head in shame over it. It’s about hair and make-up and it’s ridiculously dressed ladies and their drama. I watch it, shamlessly. They love an animal print on that show. And while I don’t plaster my walls with cheetah print murals, it really is growing on me in a way I never knew it could. Look at these cute, cute things that are oh so cheetah, but only maybe a small percent Jersey.

  1. Forever 21, Blouson Leopard Top
  2. Charlotte Russe, Animal Print T Back Top
  3. Forever 21, Leopard and Zipper Top
  4. Charlotte Russe, Animal Print Chiffon Tank
  5. Forever 21, Leopard Criss Cross Top
  6. Forever 21, Burn Out Leopard Print Tee

Being Part of the Tribe

July 14, 2011 by

  2. Forever 21, Tribal Knit Top
  3. Nordstrom, Print Boxy Tee
  4. Charlotte Russe, Tribal Print Cold Shoulder Top

Race Me to the Finish Line

June 16, 2011 by

Man, I dig  a racerback tank top. I could seriously wear one every day. They don’t require a strapless bra, they have a sporty and unique look from other tank tops, and for some reason I think they make peoples shoulders look better…that one is probably all in my head. So, I stumbled upon this tank at Gap. And besides the fact that I am in love with the model’s haircut, I could and probably will own this tank in every color.
