TSD June 2013: Forever 21, Free People, Nordstrom, Charlotte Russe

Man I'm on a roll tonight! I just posted my Monthly Gram for June and I've decided to get this post up as well. It's probably from all the tea I drank this evening, so I'm hyped on caffeine hehe. Because I ended up getting fashion pieces here and there, I decided to make this TSD post a monthly roundup rather than separate posts for each brand. Here are my finds for June:

Round Framed Glasses: I've been on the lookout for a pair of sunglasses like this. I was inspired by Youtuber clothesencounters and I thought it looked super cute on her. So, of course, I wanted to try it out. I'm open to trying any trend and I'll go with it as long as I feel comfortable. I ended up finding my pair at Forever 21 for only $5-6! Jason isn't really a fan of these glasses but I'm over the moon about them. I feel so Lady Gaga-esque/retro in them!

White Lace Flowy Top: Jason and I were killing some time at Nordstrom Rack before seeing a movie. They had in some cute pieces from Free People, a brand in which I love their bohemian style. We don't have an actual Free People store in Hawaii, but they do have a great selection at Macy's. The pieces are quite pricey, but when it's at the Rack or TJ Maxx, the price is doable. I got this for $34 and the original price was $88 I think. I love to pair this with my neutral polka dot paggings (a pic will be uploaded in next month's OOTM post).

American Flag Sunnies: Before I found my round sunnies at Forever 21, I was hoping to find a pair at Nordstrom's. While there were a few that I could've worked with, it wasn't the exact pair I was looking for. I tried these on for fun without the intention of getting them, but I ended up liking it a lot. It was super cute on and I thought it would be great for the upcoming 4th of July weekend. There were only two left, so Jason bought the other pair for himself to match!

Sand Colored Sun Hat: Once again, I was inspired by Youtuber clothesencounters to get a sun hat of sorts. I've said it to myself over the years, actually my entire life, that my head isn't suited for a hat. It's probably due to my poofy hair, but I just never really matched in a hat. As I was perusing through my local Charlotte Russe, my eye kept going to this hat. I bought it thinking that I could actually work with this. It's not tight looking, so I think it'll go well with some of my looks.

Semi-Sheer Striped Maxi Skirt: I'm absolutely loving this particular style of maxi skirt. I love the bit of sheer fabric that exposes your leg from the mid-thigh down. I'm more of a monochromatic girl, so pairing this with a white crop top or any type of white top will bring this look together to my liking. It's easy sophistication!

TSD Vegas Edition: Free People, L'OCCITANE, Pacsun, Charlotte Russe

Hello again! Welcome back to another Vegas edition of TSD. This post will be included purchases from Free People, L'OCCITANE, Pacsun, and Charlotte Russe. Because I only bought one thing from each store, I decided to compile it into one post. Let's begin!



Pale Pink Longsleeve: I'm a big fan of Free People. I love the whole boho-chic feel, but I'll admit that their clothes are quite pricey. Also, I find it hard to wear some of their things as everyday wear since that's what I try to go for. I found this on the sale rack for $29.95, regular $68. I noticed that these tops were already discounted at $49.95 and then later on dropped to the price that I paid for. Honestly, I wouldn't have paid $49.95 either so I'm glad I got it at a decent price. This pale pink color was my favorite from the bunch and I love the crochet detail on the collar. You can't see it but on the back it has a miniscule but cool stitching detail.



Regard Radieux Eye Roll-On: I got a sample of this in my Fukubukuro bag from this year and I really liked the product. It's supposed to help keep the skin around your eyes moisturized and supple. Because the skin around the eye is delicate, I feel like I should give it some extra attention. I  do feel like this product does its job and my eyes also look more awake!

Rainbow Watercolor Tank: I went to the Pacsun at the Las Vegas Outlets North and this time around I didn't really see anything that I liked a lot. So I only purchased this cute top which I feel like is perfect for summer! Simply pair it with a pair of faded denim shorts and you're ready to go :)

Black & White Crop Top: I suppose this is more of a crop top rather than a bralette, but I'd probably wear it more as a bralette. I may throw over an open white button up shirt if I find a pair of black high-waisted pants, or to give it a more resort look, floral printed high-waisted pants!

Stay tuned for the next post!

Thanks for reading!
