My Favorite brand denim shorts

Summer is almost here and for us South floridians it is basically summer here . The temperatures are already in the 80-90's daily and I have been wearing my shorts and tank tops pretty much daily. I have a few brands I have loved for many years. Miss Me and Silver denim are two of my favorites. I also love True Religion, Seven, Hudson, Lucky Brand, Rock Revival, Rag & Bone and many others. If you want some extra bling Miss Me is perfect. If you are looking for an excellent fit I love the way True Religion and Silver jeans look. The stitching and pocket placement is amazing. All these brands keep their shape throughout the day and don't get that stretched out look after several hours of wearing. I like when my jeans have a little stretch to them but not a lot. 

I will have several reviews coming up of not just brands, but cut, stitching, styles and shades. By the end of my reviews you should be able to find yourself the perfect pair of shorts for the summer, not just fit but I will go over the different cuts and what styles look best on which body types. My first review will be on boyfriend style denim shorts. I will be reviewing many brands and from low end to high end so you will have many choices when it comes to price. Thank you for stopping by and look forward to sharing my first review this week. I will be starting with a pair of BKE black boyfriend jeans from buckle. Hope everyone is having a great week and only two more days till Friday! Whoot Whoot! 

A couple of my current favorites I own: 

 

Miss Me frayed stretch denim from Buckle.com $82.99

Above are the first pair I will be reviewing from BKE and they are the BKE Black boyfriend shorts from Buckle. They retail for $72.95. I got mine at half off and had to try a pair since I had read so many reviews comparing them to Moss Me, and Big Star denim which are two of the brands I own a lot of shorts and jeans from.  Boyfriend shorts are tricky to find the right fit and I don't recommend ordering them online because they are meant to fit baggy and they run all kinds of different ways when it comes to sizing. I have one pair that is a size 3 and have a pair that are a size 9/10. This brand I ordered a 28 waist and it was huge. Also the boyfriend style doesn't look good on all body types. I will go over more of this in my review. Enjoy some styles and brands I selected below from Polyvore.

Coral and silver Monday mani

My Monday manicure was a quick last second polish change. My nails were chipped and looked bad, due for a pedicure and hair color this week but nails couldn't wait. My favorite colors right now are coral, turquoise, yellow, lime green and bright colors.

I went with Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in Coral Reef and Pure Ice Dazzle Me glitter accent nail. I wanted to keep it budget friendly since I been focusing a lot on budget friendly decor and fashion. You don't have to spend a lot to have gorgeous nails. Sally Hansen polish is great quality and can be found at any drug store or places like Walmart and Target for a great price and the colors are amazing. Pure Ice is also a great inexpensive polish with some amazing colors. Just be sure to use a good base and top coat. I used Butter London Nail foundation, and Seche for my top coat just because I needed a quick dry and couldn't find my favorite Out the Door or Poshe.

Enjoy the photos again I never take the time to clean up polish I get on cuticles before I snap photos, if I did I would never get photos lol. Be sure to visit my eBay store have some True Religion, Marciano and Miss Me items ending soon plus will be posting some nail polish along with a lot more designer brands. Just posted Michael Kors wallet and navy shorts both brand new with tags for amazing affordable budget friendly starting bids for every budget conscious fashionista. Happy Monday and hope everyone is off to a great week:). I am and can't wait to get my color done. More funky colors and will have photos:). Xoxo

My favorite clothing item, jeans!

This post is going to be dedicated to my favorite item in my closet, denim or jeans.  Whether skinny, bell bottom, boot cut, capri, bermuda or shorts, even skirts I love jeans!  I have been big into denim my entire life.  Being in South Florida I spend all my time in some version of denim, with the occasional linen or cotton bottoms.  I love skirts and have been in a long dress or skirt mode for awhile but I still end up in my jeans after a afternoon of running the kids.  Next to my sweats that I wear while home or to the gym jeans take up a lot of my closet.

It is not easy to find a good fit, good quality nice pair of jeans anymore.  I have gone through a lot of phases in my life.  I use to love American Eagle but since my second daughter the low low cut jeans don't cut it.  Hate having my undies or butt hanging out and then having to adjust all day or pull them up.  I also went through a phase three years ago after I lost all the baby weight and was in the best shape I been in since I was 25 with wearing designer brands only.  During this time I wore True Religion,  Paper, Denim, Cotton, Miss Sixty, Luck Brand and more.  During this time though I came across a few brands that I have stuck with through all sizes.  When I was looking for a pair of skinny jeans a couple years ago when they became the thing, I wanted a pair only for my boots, I don't like how they look on me with sandals, I am tall but have hips and thighs.  Anyways, I came across Miss Me jeans and wow do I love these.  I always loved the white thick stitch on the True Religion jeans but the over $130 price, not for me.  I always shop outlets or clearance so rarely pay full price.  I have found a boutique in my area that does the Miss Me jeans at buy one get one half off a few times a year and I stock up.  I have never seen them at Marshall's like True Religion, Lucky Brand and Seven.

I also love Silver jeans.  I have this side of me that still wears some of the stuff I did in my early twenties, I am a rock n roll girl at heart, love me classic, new, old, any kind of rock, even the crazy heavy stuff which is my favorite lol.  So even though I am in my thirties with two kids I still love black, and I love ripped destroyed jeans.  Silver jeans makes the best destroyed denim ever=).  I love the way they wash, wear and how long they last.  Going to post a few photos from the Miss me, Silver and Dillard's websites of some of my favorite styles and washes.  I have over twenty Silver Jeans and close to thirty Miss me.  That includes capris and bermudas.  I have even more in my smaller sizes but don't count the ones I can't wear currently.  I have one pair of Silver Jeans I have had for four years and the older they get the better they look and feel.

The Miss Me jeans run for anywhere from $50-$140 depending on the detail, rhinestones etc.  I usually pay around $65 a pair with sales and buy one get one deals.  Silver Jeans can be anywhere from $29.99 at Marshall's, hard to find though up to $89.  I still wear True Religion, only from the outlets, every now and then American Eagle and I like Seven for Mankind too, just a few cuts though.

One of these days I will take some photos of my collection.  Let me know what brands you love=).
