Fashion Friday Featuring Vincent Reeve

So I haven’t ordered anything from Vincent Reeve just yet, but it’s mostly cause I cannot decide on what I have to have, it’s all so great I’m having trouble deciding.

Vincent Reeve was created by Jacob Olds, and is run by himself, Bethany Olds, and Nathan Currin. I have to admit I sort of fangirled the moment I found out Jacob was going to be doing a clothing line. For those of you who don’t know Jacob is the drummer for Family Force 5. So what kind of clothing can one expect from a musician, stylist, and just all around great guy? There is definitely a vintage feel to these clothes but they have their own street style edginess that makes them unique, quite like Jacob himself. Fashion isn’t supposed to be serious, its supposed to be fun, it’s how you make a statement without saying a word. I think every single piece in this line makes the statement of fun, but still gives you the ability to put your own particular spin on it.

Here are some of my favorites for the ladies:

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how great this top is?http://vincent-reeve.myshopify.com/collections/women/products/snakeskin-skull

I really love this print on this one! http://vincent-reeve.myshopify.com/collections/women/products/aztec-red

This is a unisex top so the boys can promote Vincent Reeve too! http://vincent-reeve.myshopify.com/collections/women/products/heather-grey-tank

Now some of my favorite picks for the guys:

The perfect blend of put together yet still casual http://vincent-reeve.myshopify.com/collections/men/products/hombre

Okay so I just picked a random bow tie because I couldn’t narrow down a favorite. They are all so perfect. http://vincent-reeve.myshopify.com/collections/men/products/bow-tie-striped I love bow ties!

And who doesn’t love a colorful tank top like this? http://vincent-reeve.myshopify.com/collections/men/products/neon-yellow-tank

I cannot stress enough how great this line of clothing is and these pictures are just a sampling of the genius that is Vincent Reeve so by all means go to their site and order yourself something http://vincent-reeve.myshopify.com/

Have a happy Friday everyone!

Fashion Friday featuring Cotton On.

As many of you may have noticed a good deal of my wardrobe is from Cotton On. But can you really blame me? Their clothes are always beautiful, they constantly have sales, and not the trickster kind of sales where you actually aren’t saving money but honest to goodness sales, and they are an awesome company that has a true sense of responsibility, you can find out all about the Cotton On Foundation here to learn all about the way they are improving the world and helping others http://www.cottononfoundation.org/ but what I think is really great they make it incredibly easy for customers to make donations right at the checkout! No fussy paperwork to fill out no lifetime commitments have to be made, you can just make a donation then and there.
Headwrap: Its just a ribbon I pulled out of my ribbon box but Top Shop has a cute alternative http://us.topshop.com/en/tsus/product/bags-accessories-1702229/hair-accessories-70519/headbands-70691/polka-dot-wire-headband-136848?refinements=category~%5b210046%7c208709%5d&bi=1&ps=20 and so does claires  http://www.claires.com/store/us/goods/hair/cat1260198/headbands/p54519/polka+dot+knotted+fabric+headband/

Umbrella: Target http://www.target.com/p/totes-clear-bubble-umbrella-silver-trim/-/A-10780081#prodSlot=medium_1_6&term=clear+umbrella

Blouse: Cotton On I bought mine on clearance so I couldn’t find the link to the exact one I am wearing so you can check your local Cotton On’s sales rack or buy this similar blouse http://shop.cottonon.com/shop/product/katja-s/l-shirt-white/

Midi rings: Forever 21 http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?Br=F21&Category=ACC&ProductID=1040665778&VariantID=

Swing skirt: Cotton On http://us.cottonon.com/shop/product/jeanie-flippy-skirt-black/ They’re currently having a sale on these and you can get 2 for $20! This is one of my favorite cuts for a skirt, they’re slightly longer in the back which is great for modesty’s sake and the have shape that gives a nod to the 50’s which I adore. I could honestly buy one in every color!

Boots: Atwoods. Now Atwoods is a country supply store so they don’t have a website to order from, so you can either see if one is near you, or buy some similar ones from Sheplers http://www.sheplers.com/Old-West-Jama-Basic-Western-Cowgirl-Boots-Medium-Toe/21879.pro?parentCategoryId=448&categoryId=459&subCategoryId=460 these are one sale for $54.99 which is practically unheard of when talking about cowboy boots. I’ve seen some boots that cost more than an actual horse! So these are quite the bargain 😉

I hope you all enjoyed this post and that you have a happy Friday!

Fashion Friday Featuring Ellie

This week I am featuring Ellie on the blog, an awesome athletic clothing company for women. What I really think is cool about this company is you can either order individual pieces as you wish, or you can sign up with their fit fashionista club and pick any two pieces for only $49.95 a month! Which is great because they releases a new collections every month so you’re always in store for something new and fabulous. Ellie’s clothes are comfortable, functional, made out of quality materials, and are just super cute. So I encourage you to check em out, in fact if you use this link http://ellie.evyy.net/c/66016/83385/1664  you can get 20% off your order. How great is that?I don’t just do yoga for fitness I also dance awkwardly. I mean who doesn’t love the silly pistols at your hips dance?

and playing on playgrounds is always a fun way to stay fit 😉

Here’s the link to the complete outfit I am wearing http://www.ellie.com/outfit/56 now I must say I’m still getting used to my “new body” after I lost so much weight, so a lot of the time I’m not certain about sizing, but Ellie’s size chart is spot on (some size charts are way off, talk about frustrating) but I ended up being a small in my top and and medium in pants just like the chart said. These clothes are so great, working out can be hard enough so having something beautiful to wear that is supportive and flexible enough for ones yoga practice is wonderful. I highly encourage you to get some Ellie gear for yourself.

yoga mat: Affirmats http://www.affirmats.com/Store/Products.php?id=8

I hope you all enjoy this week’s Fashion Friday and that you check out Ellie and get your 20% off discount http://ellie.evyy.net/c/66016/83385/1664 have a great weekend!
