What Would Claire Wear: Swim Suit Edition

Hello! As swimsuit season rapidly approaches I have been searching the depths of various websites to find the perfect suit for my body type. Now don't be thinking that you will be seeing any pics of me in a bikini on here... my bod is not quite there yet. But you will see the suits that have caught my eye!

In case you can't tell, I like to leave a little up to the imagination.

• High Waisted Print Suit
• Love love love the little peepholes on the top of the bottoms. This suit is a fun pattern to wear at Hangoutfest coming up soon! I would layer some dainty necklaces and wear my hair in a perfectly tousled bun.

• Classic One Piece
• This looks like the most flattering piece of swimwear known to man (if I had to guess I would also look like Lily Aldridge while wearing it). It is reminiscent of the original Barbie doll. I would love to wear this one while lounging around the pool. A wide brim hat and fruity drink would be in tow. I would also probably have to wear red lipstick... it's only right.

Festive & Current Obsessions 4/29/14

Festival International de Louisiane '14 came and went. And might I add, it was wonderful! I had a great time exploring the bazaars and seeing the people. Although the music was obviously the best part. Two of the best bands I heard were Radio Radio and Bombino .

As you can see from the picture, I had a total Britney moment with the snake I held.

In other news, since I am vowing to tell you guys about some of my most recent obsessions here are a few things you all NEED to check out!

•  Ending school... 

• Indiana Chocolate Peanut Butter popcorn
• y'all it's sinful. Like I feel bad for telling you all about it because it is so freaking addicting. 

• Coffee Cellulite Scrub 
• This home remedy is seriously amazing! I just mixed some coffee with a tad of warm water to make a paste and went in the shower and rubbed it on my thighs and ass for 5-10 minutes. I then washed it off with cool water to shrink the pores. The results were incredible. My skin was silky smooth and the appearance of my cellulite was tremendously reduced. Given I smelled like coffee but it was totally worth it.

Current Obsessions 4/21/14

I hope everyone had a blessed Easter! I spent mine with Kyle's family and we had a wonderful time exploring and enjoying the wonderful weather.

Over this Spring Break Festival International de Louisiane is coming to town. This is a huge international music festival in downtown Lafayette filled with international musicians, vendors, and artists. You can find so many incredible things at festival. Last year was by far the greatest time I have ever had at festival (and I have been going since I was in the womb... that's obviously why I'm so cultured). I wiggled my way up to the front for two of the major headliners and even got to dance with the lead singer when he came into the crowd!! I cannot wait for this years festival. I have been obsessed with getting my schedule together and figuring out what I am going to wear each day and who I need to hear at what stage at what time. I can hardly stand how incredible it is going to be!

Check out Festival International de Louisiane here.

These are a few pictures from festival last year

Hope to see some of my dolls out there, I will be the girl climbing on stage...

What Would Claire Wear: orange lipstick

This past weekend I spent the day visiting my grandmother and hanging out with my pal Kyle. We ran errands around town and it great! We all know how much I love my weekend errands. I must say, I really loved this outfit. It was a great transition from winter to spring. It incorporates spring colors into weather appropriate pieces.

• Top 
• This sweater is from Chicwish . I have been waiting to debut this sweater in society for a while now. I simply love how casually glam it is. 

• Bottoms
• I have on my Target jeans. These have been frequenting my outfits. They are not as harsh as black jeans but look equally as chic when paired with the right items. I also love them with just a plain fitted, feminine t shirt. 

• Shoes
• These shoes I got a super long time ago yet I still look forward to wearing them in the spring and summer. They are as comfortable as flats but are just the lift that my little 4'11" frame needs. 

• Hair/Makeup
• I wanded my hair so that I had big "Hollywood" curls (which ended up frizzing because it was a rainy/humid day... why do I even try?). I was SO excited to try out my new lipstick. It is was Wet n Wild Mega Last Lip Color in Purty Persimmon and it seriously lasted all day. I would highly recommend that everyone tries it out!

I love using lipstick and springy sweaters to transition! What pieces do you guys like to try to transition with?

Current Obsessions 4/14/14

Even though I will not be married ANYTIME soon... shit I'm not even dating really... I have been loving to stalk wedding blogs. Something about spring brings about a sense of love in the air and a beautiful back drop for weddings. It is also the perfect seasons for guests to wear their most chic and lovely frocks. Pastels, florals, and black and white dresses are my favorite for springtime weddings. Here are a few dresses that I'm itching to wear at my next nuptial attendance. 

1. This Chicwish dress is currently being shipped to my closet <3. I can't wait to wear this mod froc to various daytime spring events such as my cousins wedding and our graduation brunch. The color is so refreshing, it reminds me of lemonade! Can't wait to put it on... I've been eyeing it for weeks. 
2. I love this striped peplum by BCBGMAXAZRIA. I have been saving up my bank flow so I can treat myself to it. It is so crazy flattering on and is such a piece of art to look at. It would be adorable for spring with a sweet candy colored nail polish and a light gloss. This dress could be worn for a daytime or nighttime wedding.
3. This futuristic peplum is ahhhhhmazing. I would love it with a bold orange/red lip and tall nude pumps. A slicked back mid pony tail will complete the look.This dress could also be worn for weddings at anytime of the day.
4. This adorable floral number is quite coquettish for an afternoon ceremony. A huge silky blowout would make this dress over the top flirty, which is perfect for a bachelorette like myself trying to reel in a man at these sort of events. Judge me.

Weddings are such fun to plan outfits for. Check out the wedding sections of Fash Boulevard and Lauren Conrad to share in my obsession!

What Would Claire Wear: various pinks

I know you guys are probably wondering if that is me and someone colored my body with a Valentine's day pack of markers. Well it really is me... and I was not colored on. I tried to go for something a little different to a birthday dinner for one of my gal pals.

• Top 
• This top is from Banana Republic. I got it for some of my senior pics and it has become my go to shirt.You cannot tell with this outfit but it has a very subtle and soft peplum. I tucked it in for this look however. 

• Bottom
• This red skirt is my friend Cat's. It is from Forever 21 and I simply don't want to give it back! I love the whole skater skirt look and I especially love the contrast between how sweet the cut is with toughness of the red leather. 

• Shoes
• THESE SHOES<3 I was so excited to finally wear them! I got these from Forever 21 and I must say that they are incredibly painful but very worth it. Can't wait to wear them again... and again and again and again. 

• Hair/Makeup/Accessories
• Frankly I just left my hair in the slicked back pony that I had it in all day. I kept my makeup very simple and just added some berry color lipstick. I carried my usual blush purse.

This outfit is a big leap for me considering how colorful it is! I am holding true to my resolution of dressing brighter and bolder. I think this pink top is definitely my color, what color are you guys excited about for spring?

Current Obsession 4/7/14

As you all know, I have an obsession with blogs. I love to follow blogs via Bloglovin.
Bloglovin is a website that puts all of your favorite blogs at the tip of your fingers on one website. Every time a blog that you follow posts something new, the little button on the top of your screen will display a number. This number is the amount of posts you have not read yet. It makes it super easy to stay up to date on my favorite blogs!

One blog that I discovered through Bloglovin was "They All Hate Us". It is basically just a blog of very fabulous photos. It posts a couple of series of photos a day revolving around the same theme. I would highly recommend that you guys check it out!
