The Caribbean Rose

With Spring just about a month away, I can't help but to do a count down. The closer we get, the more Spring-y garments I begin to crave. It's taking everything in me not to go crazy online. ( ._.) 

I'm just sayin', don't be surprised if you see a lot of  'Currently Craving' posts on the blog. Just in case, I'm sorry. I can't help myself. :D 

If you read this post, you should have an idea of how much I love Spring. It's my favorite season of the year! After a cold, dreary season of bundling up and drinking an inhumane amount of hazelnut coffee and Earl Grey, I'm ready to 'Spring' out of my coat and prance around in breathable linen and chiffon fabrics. The dark, moody hues will be missed (then again....dark colors are an all year thing with me) but it's time for more refreshing, fun colors and I can't wait to be a walking rainbow. 

Bardot Tops made an appearance in the fashion world last year and once again, it's every fashionista's craving this year. With the 60s and 70s trending (once again), this top will be worn to death and I'm totally fine with that. Off the shoulder tops show off just enough skin, adding just a little bit of sexiness to any outfit. These beauties are definitely for all shapes, sizes and styles. For those of you who are bit on the modest side, give this top a try. I promise it won't disappoint. Soon, you'll wonder how the heck you managed to allow yourself to order like 25 of these blouses. With that said, I'm not responsible for any wallets catching on fire. #SorryNotSorry

Surprise! A Fabulous Hippie has been given a much needed makeover and boy, lemme just tell you.......HTML is a pain in the ass. Whatever. I have a better understanding of it now, so I'm not complaining. One thing about me is that I love learning new things AND actually putting the new skill to some real use. It's just something about successful DIY projects that put a big smile on my face. :D

I think it's safe to say that I deserve a high five. And a jumbo glass of the finest red wine because my eyes are on fire and my brain is fried. Staring at a computer for hours can really do something to ya. If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go starfish in my bed now!

Black Crop | Nude Midi Dress(sold out){Love This} | Grey Crop {Save} | Oversized Sweater Dress | Fitted Dress | Jumpsuit (in black) {Love This}


Ahhhh, the Mock Neck (or Polo/Turtle Neck)....I've always admired this neckline, but after a while, I wanted to try something different and eventually I completely stopped wearing it. That is until I found a grey fitted midi dress at the thrift store for (WAIT FOR IT.......) 0.99 cents!!! Oh yeah. Thrifting is awesome, you guys. You should try it sometime if you haven't already. I will style my awesome find very soon! You have no idea how excited I am....

I've always had a thing for necklines such as the polo/turtle neck, the peter pan collar, the boat neck, and any other neckline that sits above my collar bone. It's rare that I show any boob.

• For a casual look, you could pair a cropped, sleeveless mock neck with a pair of  light-washed, high waisted jeans with a leather backpack and converse. 
• For a more vintage/indie vibe, you could pair the same top with a pair of  faux red leather skinny jeans, and a beige oversized cardigan and some worn in combat boots with a tan fedora as the cherry on top.
• For an office/chic look, a fitted solid color midi skirt, a statement necklace, and a pair of nude pointed toe pumps.
