Spring Fashion

I was thinking about the trends for spring and just trends in general. It is really hard, for me at least, to look through a magazine and decode all their fashion pages. So I thought that I'd make a simplified fashion list with just general trends.
1. Coral. Shirts, jackets, jewelry, whatever you have that's coral, dig it out. I took care of this over the weekend (see "Weekend Haul" post) by purchasing an adorable coral cardigan with rose lace on the back.
2. White jeans. It doesn't really matter what kind, but skinny jeans, especially cuffed, are the coolest. I also bought a pair this weekend.
3. Bootcut or flared jeans. These were in about 2 or 3 yeas ago and they're coming back. I saw a girl at the mall with the coolest teal flare jeans. The jeans should be tight until the knee and then flared.
This is about it for now, I'll continually post more as they come. If you have any questions or are wondering if anything else is in style, comment below, or e-mail me at missiemayarose@gmail.com
Kiss Kiss,
Maya

Weekend Haul




So over the weekend I went shopping at several different places. I got more things than usual, so I thought, this is a great opportunity to do my first haul!

On Friday I went to see a movie at the mall. After that I went shopping . I first went to Tilly's and bought a gorgeous shirt. You know I love anything to do with roses! This shirt can be worn with jeans, shorts, or capris. It was $17.99. I got a girls size large.

Next, I went to Forever 21. I bought three necklaces and a pair of sunglasses. The necklaces were $1.50 each and the sunglasses were $5.80. I couldn't believe how inexpensive the necklaces were so I bought two kokeshi doll necklaces, one was on a silver chain and one was on a pink, and a silver bird. One side has rhinestones and the other had just the design etched on it. I think I prefer the plain side because the it is more simply beautiful. Another thing I bought was the sunglasses. Now, I've wanted aviators for a while now, so I was really excited to find them for less than six dollars. There was also a black pair for $3, but I thought they were too dark so I went with the purple pair. These sunglasses actually work; they have 100% UV protection.

The next day I went back to the mall, but just to Macy's. At the Clinique counter I got the chubby stick in Super Strawberry. Now, I don't know if you've heard about chubby sticks, but they were featured in at least five different magazines a month or two ago. They're lip crayons that twist up like chapsticks instead of sharpening. They're super moisturizing and have a really pretty shine. Super Strawberry was the brightest color I found, the other two were a bit more neutral. But they are really convenient and I've wanted one for a long time so I'm so glad I got one.

Next, we headed on over to the Nordstrom Rack. This is a great place to get shoes, clothes, and accessories. I got an adorable pair of shoes from Report. They were originally $74.95, reduced to $39.95. I also bought a half-sleeve cropped coral cardigan. The back is all lace, which is soo cool. It was originally $25, reduced to $15.97, then 50% off. I got a pair of white skinny jeans from Jolt, originally $36, reduced to $19.97. The last thing I bought was a simple pink cami from Ivy & Moon, $2.97 from $14. It was so cheap that I didn't even bother to try it on. I mean, it was $3! I love stores like these!

The last place I went to was TJ Maxx. I just got two tins of hard candy, Lemon and Kiwi & Mango, for AIMS testing this week. This has been a really fun post and I think I'll do them more often.
