Triangl Poppy Peach Soda/Yellow Marshmallow

I recently have purchased several Triangl suits. I wanted one along with my 15 year old daughter for awhile but we didn't want to spend 89 plus shipping. The one I wanted was $99 and wasn't sure it would fit. If you have read my prior Triangl posts you know about my boss ordering the Brigette, Moondance for me to try. Only difference is it has crochet material and white stitching on the neoprene and I went with a S++ and XL but ended up curious if a XL top and L bottom would be better. I then ordered the Poppy Pink Lemonade using a Visa gift card I won and ended up also receiving the Pop Cola, black, white and yellow bikini as well. Not sure if this was an error or gift. Triangl gifts bikinis to bloggers and social media fashion account holders. It had a thank you card and leads me to believe it was complimentary along with a link for Triangl_girls on IG and a hashtag to use. 

I then hit the dupe market on Alibaba and eBay wanting to compare since I had done so much research. I came across this suit in a XL top and L bottom which fits me the best of all the sizes I have tried. I am larger busted but smaller in bottom. The S++ was too small in the cup this XL fits better but had to have the back straps taken in 2-3" by my mom in law. My daughter and I now share the suits. Went from none to one to three to now I have this one I scored off eBay for $50 and the Poppy Yellow Marshmallow with mesh for $46. I also have several dupes in route heard they take awhile and got a Winnie in route. Also ordered a look alike from VS and one from H&M. I will eventually have all of them and do just one big post but for now wanted to post this one. 

I am still on the fence if it's real or a good knock off. It's a little different then my other suits size wise and the top seems to have a thin lining over the cup of a nylon material. I asked the seller and they became rude and defensive. It didn't come with the box but did come with a black tag and all the tags look same along with back buckle. I know the mesh suits have a mesh material over the cups but my Brigette is all neoprene then is stitched all around the out edges. My other Poppy suits are also all neoprene and don't have this lighter weight material. The bottoms are the same, just top seems a little different but it's gorgeous. I am giving this one to my daughter along with the pop cola. I kept the Brigette but exchanged the top waiting now for the XL to come then will have it adjusted around the band. 

I will be sure to post next week hopefully once all the look a like and dupes arrie as well as my other eBay scores. I want to have them all ready to take photos and compare for you. Till then happy shopping and please beware buying on eBay and alibaba. If you want a real suit check out seller or I suggest investing in a real suit from the Triangl site however if you don't have the cash for the real deal eBay is a good spot. A lot of ladies order and they don't fit or they don't like how they look on because neoprene is tight and snugs your body, also these bra style tops are a Demi style cup like the Demi bras which are moderate coverage and larger busted ladies like myself may not feel comfortable in a top this revealing. I know I feel weird posting photos of it on because it does show a lot of cleavage. You can score a real suit if your lucky through eBay bidding for anywhere from 40-70 with shipping. I have two more I am bidding on now. Different styles want to try other styles and colors. I plan to share with my daughter and sell some that we don't like or need once we have them all and have decided which we like. I don't need 12 of the same suit lol. This color my daughter loves. I love the brigette blue is my favorite color and the pink lemonade looks amazing on y skin tone with a tan. The pop cola is black and is a pretty color combo but you can't be to white or it looks off. 

Got the yellow and took some pics so wanted to post a collage quickly will have my fave swim wear coming soon and must have beach summer styles. Below is a little flat lay of some of my faves for this summer enjoy.

Ft. Worth fun fashion, Texas

Hey y'all, hope everyone is having a fab week. I know we are having a blast. Vacation has been amazing and Texas is awesome. I love the vintage and antique stores. Amazing bohemian, country, southwest, gypsy and hippie inspired apparel, home decor and more. It's just awesome plus all the wild life. We have a pack of deer that come to the yard every night at dusk then the neighbor breeds horses so we get to visit with them every morning when we wake and afternoon or evening when we return. They have babies along with the deer, which are cute to watch play. My girls and of course my hubby and I are really happy with our choice of rental properties. 

Today we are off to the safari, Texas style and then to the Ft. Worth nature preserve to see some Bison. Yesterday we hit the Ft. Worth stockyards and did some shopping, saw cattle and enjoyed some real Texas BBQ. Amazing. 

Real quick while I was in the car wanted to do a post to share some of my favorite vacation shots along with some cute vacation fashion... 

Today wearing my bargain find, "Go climb a Cactus" graphic tank from Wet Seal. Paid $6 for this fab find.

Paired it with a black, with white embroidered floral pattern, kimono I found at Forever 21. This has a lace trim bottom and 3/4 length sleeves.

Necklaces // Mini Cactus from Forever21    // Cattle skull got in Ft. Worth at stockyards for $3.99. Love it. 

Again will add links to all items that are still available and if something isn't available I will find something close or another shop that carries it for you, right now traveling so just trying to give as many details as I can. 

    

Bracelets are by Lacey Ryan from Maurices.com. Then wearing two of my Live Lokai bracelets. The classic and camo for WWF. 

Last night after a long shower to clean up from a hot day, temps reached 103 felt like 120 lol, I ended up in my faithful VS pink sweats. These are the embroidered logo boyfriend sweats in blue. The graphic tank I got in New Orleans at the original Peaches records. Love my graphic tanks and tees, also got a distressed Rolling Stones lyric tank there, then I have gotten several other aweome tees and tanks which you will see soon. 

Yesterday went with a graphic tee I bought on Etsy, the shop is called Wooden Arrow shop, you can find the sweet Christie's shop Instagram page, which has a link to her Etsy shop in her bio @wooden.arrow.shop. She makes some amazing jewelry, embroidered hand stitched decorative hoops and awesome vintage finds. Be sure to check out her shop and follow her on IG. I started stocking up on cute Texas and desert style graphic tops back after Christmas. Always have loved the deer and cattle skull or antler style tees and tops but really started getting in to buffalo while planning our trip to Texas. Found this perfect tee while purchasing some decorative pieces for my bedroom. Couldn't pass it up. Was my third buffalo tee, got my first at Urban Outfitters and then one over spring break in NC. 

Paired this tee with some Silver Jeans, Suki model shorts. You can find these at www.silverjeans.com and will add link for exact shorts soon. I got mine from Buckle along with the necklace because I had a gift card. Bracelets again are Lacey Ryan, her IG is @laceyryaninc or you can find some pieces at www.maurices.com just search Lacey Ryan and her site is www. Laceyryan.com. Love all her piece because they can be mixed and matched then stacked with lots of other style bracelets. The quality is also amazing and the designer is so sweet, inspiring and talented. Make sure to show her some love❤️.

This was the Cattle walk where they walk the cattle down through the Main Street. Very cool, I love Longhorns and they had a ton. Will have better shots from my DSLR when I get home, haven't had the time I had thought in evenings to upload photos and post on the blog. Sorry. Really enjoying the family time. 

Found the green beaded bracelet in Ft. Worth yesterday. Love it and was $14.99

Hand made by a local designer. Love to support small businesses and creative/inspiring peeps. 

     

We get to wake to these faces and visit with them every afternoon or evening when we get back from adventuring. They have several babies and are so friendly. My girls love horses and the deer are also awesome. We love wildlife since where we live we don't have much really.

Hot summer looks for less

         

Summer looks for Less..

     I have always loved to share bargains and deals with my readers. I know my favorite part of shopping is saving money. Who doesn't love to save money?  I love to save money on any items I can so I can splurge on others. I am always seeing cute pieces I love and have always made sure instead of ordering on impulse as soon as I find a cute style or look, instead to take the time to surf the web and look around for similar or same styles for less. My first spot I hit is always eBay. I have found some of the best deals ever on eBay. Usually the items are brand new but on occasion I have found lightly used items for way less than new. Usually 50-75% or more savings.

   I use to do a weekly post taking tv shows or soaps I watched then posting some of my favorite fashions from those shows and trying finding the same items or  something comparable for a everyday person like myself who doesn't have tons of money or unlimited budgets. I always like to call those fashion finds, designer deals, looks for less or style steals. You can find some old posts here on my blog. 

    This week I was looking to finish up my summer shopping with adding a few more cute graphic tops, tees or tanks for my upcoming trip to New Orleans and Texas, some cute boyfriend or destroyed denim shorts or cropped jeans, cute skirts and some peasant style dresses. I started my hunt on eBay and found several items I loved. Including a few peasant dresses from $5-18, was super excited to find a chicwish peasant style dress I have seen on other blogs this week for $30 in my size, I had tried to order direct because they had a great sale and their prices are usually awesome but they were sold out of my size. 

                                     

Photo from Ebay.com.

    The above dress was $10 with shipping made by Forever 21. Can't wait to wear this on vacation. It is similar to the chicwish dress I ordered. Only difference is the style of the dress, this is more of a peasant style dress and the Chicwish dress was more of a babydoll cut dress.  I also found a cute cropped cardigan in blue that matches a lot of these white gauze style dresses with the blue stitching. The dress above stitching looks more navy blue than the porcelain blue I have seen on a lot of the embroidered pieces I have purchased but I have some navy cardigans I am sure lol. 

      I also have been eyeing a pretty kimono that was retailing for $27-35 on some online shops and found it on eBay for $4.99 can't wait to receive it, the colors are gorgeous and great for summer. This can be worn many ways, as a beach coverup, over tanks and tees or over a pretty summer dress.

Fashion Finds and Style Steals..

     We all know I love graphic tees and tanks, I occasionally will splurge and spend a little extra money on a cute tee if it's something unique and one of a kind but I always look around for the same designer on eBay discounted or a lot of times you can find the exact same tee or tank maybe the style is slightly different or the graphic is a little different but same idea for way less. 

                                              

                 Above photo is from           

                RebeccaMinkoff.com

    A great example is this cute white tank by Rebecca Minkoff that retails for over $50. I love beach saying graphic tanks and tee shirts for the summer, I broke down and bought this tank but returned it after receiving it because it was a little big and was having buyers remorse. I loved the saying and had to take a look online to see if a similar style was being sold online. Sure enough... 

                                   

Sun of A Beach Tank

I found the above tank on Wetseal.com and on sale for $15 plus had a promo code to get free shipping and 10% off my first online purchase. Sure the style of the tank is different, the Rebecca tank was longer in length and more of a muscle cut tank, but the graphic is the same.  To me that was what attracted me to the tank to begin with, when shopping for fun summer graphic tees and tanks I wanted ones with cute beach sayings or quotes.  I will update once this items arrives or have a new post featuring all these items.  All I know is that by returning that one tank I was refunded over $60 with shipping and tax, with that money I was able to go from buying one tank to three tops, two Machine jean shorts, a pair of jeans, pencil skirts and some accessories.  To me that was way worth the savings and the tank hopefully will fit good, it has the same exact graphic so it should be a perfect replacement.  Stay tuned..

    I found several items on their site that are comparable to and the same as many items I had wanted for way less. 

                                           

I had seen this, "Go climb a cactus" tank on several sites for $20-30 and I paid $6.40 after sale price and discount. I also got the machine denim jean shorts in white and blue for $10 and $15 plus 10% off. I got a cute skirt (popular white and black skirt) and a stylish dress also. Once everything arrives next week I will be sure to post on my new Instagram fashion page I started @Cr8tiveFashionWanderlust. Be sure to follow for my daily ootd posts and finds. 

                                         

Tank photo from Ebay listing.

I found this awesome white muscle style tank for $10 on eBay. These have been retailing for $20-35 online in boutiques and shops. With eBay if you see an item I found that you are interested in purchasing yourself please comment below or message me on Instagram I will send you a link for the shop if it's an item they stock regularly, sometimes it's a one item bid and if I win it they don't have more, like the dress I won above, but this tank is something they stock in all sizes. 

I also have some other items I am bidding on now I will share later in the week, along with my Wetseal purchase, JCrew purchase and ordered several cute pieces from Forever 21 online because I had found a couple items in store but they didn't have my size. When this happens I just order online. I am done with summer shopping, once my final bids on eBay end and my items arrive, I think I said that before but this time I mean it. Got myself and my daughters a lot of super cute stuff for our vacation and the rest of the summer. I will be taking a break from shopping since my closet is bursting at the seams and won't be buying anymore new items till august for the fall and winter. 

I can't wait to share all the new cute items I ordered along with some cute pieces I am receiving from some of my favorite online shops, I have a few shops sending me pieces to review for my blog and post on my social media to share with my readers and followers. Excited because a couple are surprises I don't know for sure what they are sending and that is always exciting. I had shared a bohemian definition tee a couple weeks ago from Boho Circus and the lovely ladies contacted me when responding to a question I had sent them on etsy along with a photo of how I styled their tee and they informed me they would be sending me a tee or tank, I can't wait should arrive this week. Also met a lovely lady on etsy who makes her own tee shirts and has some amazing and super cute styles that is going to be sending me some new styles to share with all my readers as well. 

Thank you for passing by to check out my post. Please feel free if there is an item you love and you are looking for at a bargain price or deal to contact me. Either email me or send me a photo through Instagram dm or comment below leaving your contact info and I will do my best to find it for you. I don't mind helping, my best friend lives in NC and the other two are one in PA and the other in KY when ever they want to buy something they always send me photos and I search for deals for them. I have found $165 jeans for $30 on eBay like new and designer tops that retail for $60/80 online and found them for 20-30 on eBay also. Sometimes I find them new or lightly used and I also find similar looks for less, may not be the exact brand but you would never know if I didn't tell you. I am always happy to help. 

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend and here is to happy bargain shopping and deal hunting. Xoxo ✌️❤️

Monday OOTD...

Cheers to a new week everyone. 

Started Monday off with this cute maxi skirt from Target with a cattleskull and tribal print. Anything with feathers or cattleskulls is all me. Had to have it, I have also worn this like a dress super cute. 

Paired it with my Genie bra in black, new favorite bras cause they are so comfy. Then added a tan Old Navy long basic tank. 

The large gold necklace is from a local boutique I am working with to style and curate their new shop. They gave me some goodies for helping out and absolutely love it. The long necklace is from Forever 21 and was only $6.90 love it, it's on a long black leather cord, has a V shape with gold beads, then a bunch of cute gold charms, there is a feather, a coin and a crystal. My favorite stuff all in one necklace. Also have on some cute Alex and Ani bangles and some other gold or bronze tone bangles. 

I also paired this ensemble with my Target clearance tan fringe sandals. Was so excited to go back to get them and find them on clearance. Hope your week is off to a great start. I have noticed a huge difference in my curves since I started the waist cincher last month, I am not wearing it here in the photos but I try to wear it a few hours a day and when I clean house or workout. Everyone has been complimenting my tiny waist and curves so it must be working. Will have more updates to come. 

Enjoy your week and have some amazing goodies coming this week in the mail. They already starting arriving and so excited to finish my art wall in my bedroom and show you some new finds from eBay and online. Xoxo ✌️❤️

I want to apologize for typos I have realized it is from my iPhone because when I enter my posts on my iPad don't have as many, think my iPhone does the auto correct and I don't even notice, I try my best to go back over all entries when I have free time to proof read, again remember I am not a write. I started my blog for fun and enjoy sharing my photos along with deals or bargains I find or new trends I love that I think other ladies will enjoy. Ty xoxo
