Easy, Breezy, Potter, Weasley

Easy, Breezy Summery Knits by LaurenL0vesL0ve featuring a cropped vest

Maybe it's my love for everything bohemian or my wish to have been in my teens or twenties during the 60s, but I am obsessed with crocheted vests this summer! I love all of these designs, but I sadly haven't found the perfect one in real life yet. Summer isn't even half over for me yet, so I'm desperately hoping that by my birthday (September) there will be a haul containing one of these awesome outfit sprucer-uppers!

I am impressed by how many stores do have these vests, even if I can't find one I like. At least there are choices out there! How cute would one of these be with a fedora and cut off shorts or a maxi dress! I love how versatile it can be! Bonus points for fringe!

My sister and I are going to see midnight Harry Potter tonight. Neither one of us can believe it's over, I honestly can't really remember a time when Harry Potter wasn't a big part of my life. It's very strange how entertainment media becomes so very real these days. This is so completely nerdy but I would say that 75% of our conversations within the last few days have been Harry Potter related. . .remembering which character did what, when people got killed and who's controlling who. There has also of course been a lot of spell casting going on and mediocre British, Irish and Scottish accents along with trip planning to Universal within the next few weeks to go to Harry Potter World. We've watched movies 4-7.1 in the last 2 days and I guess you could say we're a bit obsessed, but my mom gave me the first book when I was probably in 5th grade, which would have made me 11. That's 13 years of my life. . .more than half! That's a huge amount of time to invest in a series! Probably strange midnight photos to come. . .

I heart Wildfox!

For the last few years I have been obsessed with a little t-shirt company called Wildfox Couture. Apparently in LA you can find Wildfox in abundance in stores and boutiques because the Celeb Ladies sure do love it too, but as for me in my little Floridian peninsula I'm stuck buying these amazing shirts online, which is actually probably better for my wallet anyway! I love how these shirts are just a little off the beaten path, obviously following trends but with an interesting uniqueness that makes my brain say buy me! I also love the foundation of the company, two bohemian, blonde girls: Emily Faulstitch and Kimberley Gordon. If a shirt could define my life, I'm positive it would be Wildfox!

These are some of my favorite designs, past and present:

And some of my favorite Celebs in Wildfox (although I think a lot of them choose some of the most boring designs!):

Ashley Tisdale

Vanessa Hudgens

Audrina Patridge

Taylor Swift

Kristin Cavallari

What do you ladies think? Anyone as in love with Wildfox as I am?

Lo-vely!

Ever since Laguna Beach and continuing onto The Hills, Lo Bosworth has always been one of my favorite reality girls! Besides the initial like for sharing a fabulous name (in my opinion!), over the years I have really grown fond of her for her professional demeanor and the way she handles and carries herself with the media. Her style is also fabulous and I love her California laid back essentials mixed with classy and always appropriate pieces for any occasion!

Even just out and about she looks put together in a nautical inspired outfit.

Again, even just out shopping she looks super cute and comfortable with her flats! Comfort doesn't have to mean gross sweats you inherited from your dad as some celebrities believe.

She dresses up simple jeans with a cute printed top and gives it a little edge with the leather jacket for a night out.

On the red carpet Lo looks classy and fresh in a Tadashi Shoji number. I love her hair!

She still looks cute at the beach without showing too much skin in a denim dress. I like how the open buttons make the dress super casual but still appropriate.

In my opinion Lo is the perfect example of how a reality star should act, and she has used her fame to get to even better places in her life! Who are some of your favorite reality stars? And also which ones do you hate?

Summer shopping list

My closet is in desperate need of a makeover this summer. These are some of the pieces that are at the top of my list!

Fedora

Of course the fedora! This one is from American Eagle and is $15.50 I believe. I like this one because it's neutral but has a pop of color on the band!

Bangles

I've always been a necklace person, but find bracelets kind of annoying. This summer I'm going to try hard to be a bracelet person. I would probably do better with some wrap bracelets, but I love these colorful bangles from Forever 21.

Crop Tops

Crop tops seem to be the style of the summer. I prefer ones like this that only show a little bit of skin and of course with tribal prints! This one is by Adaptation and you can get it at PacSun.

Boho Linen Dress

I of course jumped on this band wagon way too late, but I love the dress on the left of this ad. It's just a cream color with some natural colored stripes and a few stripes of metallic as well. The dress seems to be sold out pretty much everywhere, which is why I couldn't find a picture of just the dress, but it's a cute ad anyway! So something like that with a wide braided belt would be cute!

White Shorts

I may be the only person who doesn't have a pair of white shorts yet, but I just love how they look with a tan and even denim ones can dress up a summer outfit. These are also from American Eagle. I buy more clothes from AE during the summer than any other time of year. I'm ok with that.

One last bit of fun because I love my job and Mickey crispy treats! Yay Disney! Happy summer everyone! What are the must haves on your shopping lists this summer?

Trendy Toppers

Totally Trendy Toppers by LaurenL0vesL0ve

I've never been too into hats, but I'm loving the recent fedora trend! I think they are super cute and effortless and can make an outfit that's a little all over the place look put together. They look bohemian and effortless with bathing suits and cover ups, and can dress up shorts and a tank, that is one versatile accessory! I think I'll definitely be using one for the beach this summer to keep the sun and hair off my face. The best part is, with the exception of a few in this set,you can get one for less than $15!

I'm also loving all of the cute colors and band details that this summer's styles are sporting, way more attractive than the straw fedoras of a few years ago! I think the pink one with the feather is my favorite in the set, but I can't help but love the two tribal ones next to the pink one! Fedoras with floral bands are the ultimate effortless beach choice, and the sequin one would be so cute for dinner or a night out!

Mmm. . .can you tell I like grey? Almost half of those hats are!
