Park Weather

Hey my friends!

Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday! I am thoroughly enjoying the warmer weather. Perfect for some park time.

I'm loving this colorful top, it's so versatile. I can wear it as a tunic for an afternoon in the park or tuck it in and rock it at work. Really can't beat a piece that works so well in completely different places!

Top/Jeans: Marshalls

Boots/Earrings: Burlington Coat Factory

Strawberry Dress - eShakti Review

Hi my friends!

I have a confession to make. When I started this blog, I honestly didn't think anyone would read it or even be interested at all. But you have kept coming back and even left me sweet comments on my posts! I cannot tell you how encouraging you all have been!

So needless to say, I was shocked when eShakti contacted me to review their product. (I thought I was being punked). After I picked my jaw I the floor, I looked through their online selection and fell in love with the patterns and shapes to designed to flatter women of all shapes in sizes. I found this darling strawberry print dress and thought it would look great with my vintage denim jacket. Pop on my heeled booties and Bam! Perfect for Fall. 

Here is the way they work: 

1. Go to the website and browse the many selections!

2.When you find the item you can't live without, be sure to customize it to fit your shape or style. (I had my dress lengthened for work)

3. Apply this promotional code at checkout: 'alysiaaves' for 10% off! (Good until October 16th)

4. Order and wait for your custom made clothing to arrive!

Now here are my cautions:

1. The prices are not what I would normally pay for products. You know me, I love Goodwill and Marshalls! However, you are paying for a product that is made to fit you and last a long time. Some things are worth investing in!

2. If you do choose to go for the custom fit, be sure to measure carefully. I overestimated my *ahem* chest area and I have more room than I expected....which never happens.

Well that's all for now my friends! I hope if you decide to check out eShakti, that your experience is as good as mine was! One last disclaimer. Even though eShakti gifted me this dress for the review, all the opinions are completely my own. I would never lead you down the stray path :-)

Twofer Tuesday

Hey my friends!

Random Tuesday post :-) I hope this week has been kind to you! 

Today I bring not one but two outfits that I love. But let me tell you they do not photograph well. Which is a tragedy because they are both super cute. Just use your imagination if you can't tell :-) Both of these looks are all about my favorite trend this summer. Bright colors! I have had so much fun mixing and discovering new color combinations that I'm surprised I was scared to try it before. I can be so lame sometimes.

The first look is more of a fall look (perhaps a London trip look??) but works well for summer too. 

The second look (sorry for the photo quality, it was raining outside but I really really want to take pics) features a maxi skirt I found in a little vintage shop in Atlanta. When I saw it, I fell in love. It's so exotic looking! Like Chiquita Banana! All I need are fruits on my head.

Look #1: 

Top: HM

Skirt: Goodwill

Look #2:

Top: Gap via Clothes Swap 2014

Skirt: Vintage

The Mustard Cardigan

Off for some raw fish! Delish!

Hey my friends!
Happy Wednesday! The hubs and I decided to have our date night tonight since this Easter Weekend we will be busy hanging with family and friends. It's so important that we have our alone time together.

I threw my outfit on in a hurry after work (I was starving) and I think it came out pretty well. I love how it puts together pieces that I love individually without the entire thing being overwhelming.
My lace tights make me feel sexy (good vibes for date night) without being hookerish. They are actually pretty warm as well, who knew?
The black and gold crossover purse was found in a vintage store in London. (If you are ever in Camden Town check out the Rockit store. It's lovely.) It's a classic piece. I will have it forever.
The floral skirt is gorgeous even though it is kinda short in the back (hence why it is a date night skirt), another vintage find.
The ankle boots are so cute and comfortable that I am guilty of wearing them two days in a row when I didn't have to!

But oh:

The Mustard Cardigan -This is my favorite cardigan. The shade is everything I need in the color yellow. Bright enough for spring and summer; mellow enough for fall and winter. It's perfect. Well, almost perfect. I bought it at Rugged Warehouse, which specializes in overstock and clothing with irregularities. So when I got it, I had to resign myself to the fact that I would never be able to button it up since the button holes don't line up with the buttons. I couldn't care less. I love it.

So what do you think? Hit or a Miss? Since I was able to incorporate my beloved cardigan, it is a win in my book.
