Bright Days

Hey everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Once again it was a very warm weekend. I had a good one, i was able to meet up with a friend that I haven't seen in almost a year. I love when you see a friend that you haven't seen in so long, but it's still the same as its always been. Well here is the outfit I wore when I saw my friend. 

The shorts I'm wearing are from H&M and I always get excited when I see a size 14 at H&M because it's very rare. But I knew I had to try them on because 14 doesn't always fit me, so I was happy when they fit me, oh yeah there were on sale too. I got these last year and these were my first pair of shorts that I had ever gotten. You see I never used to wear shorts, I loved wearing dresses and skirts but I was never comfortable in shorts. I only wore shorts when I went swimming and as Pj's. But last year I got the courage to wear shorts because of some of the great plus-size bloggers that I followed. They showed me that as long as your comfortable and confident in what your wearing, there's nothing wrong with it. :)

So I really love these shorts they have a palm tree print on them and there black and white, which I really love. I was going to pair this with a white top and black sweater to go with the whole black and white trend this spring and summer. But I thought it would be nice to pair it with a bright yellow top, you cant really tell in the pictures but the top is like a neon yellow and I wasn't too sure about the color of the top. But I think it paired pretty well with the shorts and I'm glad I took a chance and got the shirt. 

Have a wonderful day! ~Nina~ 

Friday Favorites

Hey Everyone! It's Friday again and that means Friday Favorites! :) I'm still trying to figure everything on my blog but I'm liking these Friday favorites. 

So my first favorite is strawberries, I've been eating strawberries this whole week. I don't know if its strawberry season yet, but they are selling them everywhere and there all on sale too, so that means I have lots of strawberries in my fridge! Today I even went to a doughnut place near my house called Donut Man and they are famous for there strawberry donuts. The picture below is of the strawberry doughnut, looks yummy huh? It was! :) 

My next favorite is the show the Voice, I've always been a fan of the show. But I'm liking this season a lot but I'm not going to lie, I do miss Ceelo as a coach. But yeah I have to say I really like this show and I'm excited for next week. This one of my favorite performances from this weeks episodes. :) 

I saw this on pinterest and I don't know I just love everything about it! It made me smile! I got the pin (here), I believe it's from SWAK designs, which is a plus size line. But yeah I just love it because really it shouldn't matter what shape you are, your awesome! :) 

That's about all the favorites that I can think of right now. What are some of your favorites? Is there anything you think I should put on my favorites? Suggestions would help a lot! :) 

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! ~Nina~ 

Summer Sandals

Hello Everyone! So since it's been so hot here in California I've been looking for a great pair of sandals and i'm really liking the style of sandals with an ankle strap and plain straps in the front. So I looked around and I was happy to see there are a lot of different stores that carry the type of sandals that I was looking for. So I decided to show you some of the one's that I found. 

Summer Sandals by curvy-mod featuring tan sandals

I really like the these type of sandals because the thong style sandals always seems to hurt my feet. I like the way these type of strap sandals look on me  because I have fatter feet so they don't look as wide with these straps. I bought a pair last year from target that were on sale and I didn't try them on because I was in a hurry and it turned out that the ankle strap didn't close around my ankle, so i never got to wear them. But good thing my mom has the same size foot as me so I gave them to her. So now I'm on a hunt for a pair that fits me well, I was about to buy the one's from Old Navy but they didn't have the style I wanted. I really like the tan ones but they didn't have those in my size. I really love the Zara sandals but they are out of my price range so I'm thinking of getting the one's from Target. I really like the colors and they also have a fun tribal print one too. 

Have you gotten yourselves a pair of summer sandals yet? What kind of sandals do you like to wear in the summer? 

Have a wonderful day ~ Nina ~ 

Festival style

Hello everyone, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! This weekend was like the start of summer here in California, it was in the 80's but it felt like it was in the 90's. It was really hot, I wasn't prepared for it. But yeah I decided to put together a festival style look. I actually wore this out that day, minus the flower crown though. Sorry the pictures are very bright and their are shadows on my face, it was a very bright day. 

I decided to wear a white flowy top because it was so hot outside and I wanted to stay away from the darker colors. Plus when I saw pictures of festival wear online there were a lot of white flowy outfits. I paired it with plain jean shorts because I think the more simple the better. I didn't want to get too crazy with the outfit because I was going to wear it for the rest of the day. I also wore a light flowy cardigan, just to cover my arms, I'm not comfortable showing my arms yet but i figured it was OK as long as it was a light and I rolled up the sleeves.

How do you think I did with the look? Is it believable for festival style?

Friday Favorites

Hello Everyone, it's Friday again so I decided to do my Friday Favorites again. I think I'm going to make this a normal thing on my blog from now on, will see how long I can keep it up. hehe 

First I want to share this video from Dove, I saw this on The Belated Bloomer blog and was inspired by it. I know I can relate to being very hard on myself sometimes and getting caught up in all my imperfections that I don't realize that sometimes those imperfections are things that people see in a positive way. But besides that we shouldn't think of think negatively about our imperfections and just love ourselves for who we are. Like it says at the end of the video, "You are more beautiful then you think." 

On Another note, the Lakers made it to the finals and their even in 7th place!!! Not many people know this about me, not even some of my closest friends, but I'm a big basketball fan and on top of that I am guilty of being a Lakers fan. haha But yeah i'm really happy they made it to the finals.  :)

Ok, so I'm really in love with these lace shorts from Forever 21+. I've always wanted a pair of lace shorts, I used to see them on chictopia and lookbook all the time but I could never find any in plus sizes. I saw one at Ross in an XL but when I tried them they were too small for me. So I was even thinking of DIYing my own shorts, so when I saw them on Forever 21+ I was in love, you can tell I even featured them in my Festival style mood board. But I think I have to try them on at the store first because sometimes shorts can be a hit or miss for me but I'm really loving these. You can get them from ( here )

Ok and Lastly I wanted to let you all know that I finally joined Instagram and Twitter. I have been anti-both for awhile but my friends have finally convinced me to Join, So if you have an account on either you can follow me on Instagram ( here ) and twitter ( here ) , so lets be friends! hehe I'm also adding a link on the side. :) I know I'm so late on joining the bandwagon, I feel super overwhelmed but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it! :) 

Have a Wonderful weekend ~Nina~
