Fringe, frayed, feathers, and fedoras

Festival season is underway and right now all the stores and boutiques are stocked with 70's inspired, boho chic pieces for that perfect bohemian, gypsy look. 

Festival style is all about fringe, frayed denim, fedora hats and feathers among many other styles. I have gathered some of my favorite F word pieces for Festival season from Forever 21 to share with you. 


Starting off the F's with fringe. This skirt is one of my favorite pieces from the Forever 21 curated, festival shop they have on their website right now. I had to order one because it is adorable and so versatile for summer. I love how they have it styled with a tied up graphic tank and low gladiator style sandals. Perfect for wearing to a music festival, the beach, summer vacation, BBQ, out to dinner or a girls night, the options are endless. You can add some heels and a cute flowing top then layer with jewelry for a more evening styled look. 


A combination of fringe and frayed here with a halter style faux suede, fringe top, paired with frayed bottom, high waisted denim cut off shorts. This screams music festival for sure. 

Add this faux leather wrap necklace with feather charms to any of these outfits for the perfect accessory. 


Every true music festival or concert goer  knows you have to have a great back pack or cross-body bag to carry your necessities from sunscreen, ponchos, blanket, wipes and many other items. This fringe backpack is great and matches with the true 70's boho inspired feel that has become the classic festival look. 


Another bag option is this cross-body bucket bag with fringe details. You want to have a cross-body or backpack style bag so you can be hands free and have your bag secure to your body with all your belongs while dancing or throwing your hands up to the music. 


If you don't need to carry much and just 
want something small for your ID and phone this smaller cross-body, studded bag with tassel detail is perfection. It comes in a few shades if black isn't what you want you can also get brown.


Cut off distressed, frayed bottom shorts are a great festival piece that you can wear all throughout the summer and you can't go wrong wearing shorts with a crop top of tee shirt. 


Another choice for cut off frayed shorts in a lighter less distressed look. I personally like to go with a darker denim for festivals or outside concerts where you may be sitting on the ground just in case of rain which can lead to a muddy mess. 


These fringe ankle detail sandals are super cute for a festival. I use to wear flip flops since they are rubber but if it does rain you will be flinging mud all over yourself in flip flops. I tend to try to wear something closed toed because I like to make my way closer to the stage and don't like getting my bare toes crushed while making my way through the crowd. I always love to be closer to the stage, the closer you are the louder the music, and the better the view of course plus you are in the midst of the action so you get the amazing rush of being at a rock concert. 


Fedoras are a great way to protect your face and hair from the sun as well as providing some shade. These all day concerts can be draining so any shade and sun protection is a must for sure. 


I have a real feather tattoo on my arm but if you don't want to commit to the permanent ink they make amazing realistic looking faux tattoos now. This feather tattoo is super cute and goes great with theme of my blog post. 

Stay tuned have some L word festival pieces coming up next post. Lace, layers, lace up shoes and all types of clothing with laces. Hope you enjoy my festival F word essentials from Forever 21. They have so many amazing pieces at affordable prices not just for the festival season but ideal for the summer. Happy shopping. Retail therapy is always the best, I know it takes away any stress I have or any worries I might have on my mind shifting my thoughts to what cute outfits I can wear for the upcoming Rockville music festival here in Florida and for the summer. Don't worry be happy always...

Summer summer time...

Summer summer time.. It's getting so close I can feel the sun on my face,  sand between my toes and the salt water breeze blowing through my hair.  I am working hard this next week or two to bring you everything you need for the summer and beach.  Not just fashion and swimwear but beauty and fitness posts for that perfect summer body, skin and hair. Also will have lots of must have items from beach chairs, towels and more for you to read my reviews on along with why you need to have them. I know a few years ago my husband got me a beach cart at Sam's club for hauling my chairs, umbrellas and kids items which is the best purchase ever. Even has a built in cooler and makes my beach days a breeze. 

For now wanted to share some cute suits I found before spring break at Target. Every year before Easter I grab my girls new swimwear we have a pool and then spend most of our days over the summer at the beach so for Easter every year I fill their baskets with beach and pool toys then bathing suits. I happened to go to Target when they had their buy one get one half off sale on the swimsuits and got some cute styles for everyone.


I am super excited this year to have found Target carrying the D/DD size tops. Us larger busted ladies have a hard time finding cute suits and for a good price, these are all the D/DD tops and they fit amazing. I am a 34/36 DD/DDD and they all fit me perfectly. This is just a small portion of the styles I got. Most of the pictured suits are for my teen daughter but I also got myself a few and my eight year old got three. My daughter and I wear the same size tops so we share then I am not a fan of matching suits I like to mix and match wearing solid bottoms with a printed or multi color top then solid top with printed bottoms. It's the designer in me I have always loved to mix patterns, solids and textures it is what pleases my eye, to me it looks more out together when it isn't matching. 

Stay tuned I have some really cute stuff coming this week and as I mentioned above a lot of cool products for hair, skin and fitness also to review with everyone. I have an amazing Moroccan argan oil mask that you can carry in your beach bag with a comb to use in your hair after swimming to moisturize your hair in the sun. I also have some amazing fitness products and diet tips for that summer body. With only 9 weeks till summer begins time to start drinking plenty of water and cutting back on sugars and carbs. 

Hope everyone had an awesome weekend. I am back to reality this week after vacation and time off for my injections, all healed up and ready to start taking on some festival and summer fashion at work which I can't wait to share here with all of you. Make sure to head by Target and take a look, they have many other patterns prints and cool suits along with cover ups, shorts, dresses and more that you want to get before everyone has snatched them up. I always love to get my suits when they first bring them in before it is hard to find sizes and sets. Don't forget to get your Target Redcard to save even more when you use it at checkout. 

Happy shopping and let the countdown officially begin to summer xoxo.
