Swimwear with Target

I have dozens and dozens of bathing suits in my drawer and every time I go the pool in my building, I have been grabbing the same one-piece bathing suit each time! This striped bathing suit specifically caught my eye immediately because of the fun colors in it. I had it in my shopping cart for weeks trying to convince myself that yes, I needed another bathing suit even though I can barely close my bathing suit drawer as it is. When it went on sale during a Cartwheel promotion I knew I needed to buy it!

Now that I am in my mid-twenties and especially living in a city apartment building, I feel like I can’t get away with lounging by the pool in the tiny bathing suits I wear to the beach. I like that this one has a fun cutout in the front and I can keep eating chips and salsa and not have to worry about my food baby showing (ha!).

Every single time I have gone to the beach or pool this summer, I can’t help but wear this bathing suit! Target has so many amazing bathing suits this summer and the price point is perfect for any budget! A few of the bathing suit styles have started to go to clearance too! As a girl who has not worn a one-piece bathing suit since I was eleven years old, I can’t help but want to buy more one-piece bathing suits! I blame Target and their cute bathing suits this year.

I am also faking my tan this summer with Coola sunless tanning mousse because it starts to turn my skin a natural looking tan within hours. I did a little photoshoot for Coola a few weeks ago and was so tan when I went down to the pool a few hours later. Now that I see my pale skin in these photos from over the weekend, I will be re-applying as soon as I can tonight! This upcoming weekend, I am visiting a childhood friend in my hometown for a beach day and I need a little glow before I step foot onto the beach! That is why I love Coola because it is natural looking and I tan quickly.

Hello, August + Instagram Round-Up

I feel like the 4th of July was forever ago, but then the rest of the month just flew by! This month, I spent my weekends driving back home to Jersey to pack up the house before the move and then finding room in my apartment for all of the things I brought back with me. My family and I filled two big moving trucks with belongings and filled dozens of garbage bags full of things we just couldn’t keep. As much as I dreaded driving back to Jersey on the weekends to clean and pack, I tried to enjoy each time being home as much as I could. July was a busy month for me with every hour planned out for something to do or somewhere to be. Hopefully this month I can actually be lazy on weekends and enjoy some of the amenities of my building, I have a pool and I have only been in it once!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Okay, sit down, get comfortable and maybe get a cup of coffee because I am only going to write about the famous Nordstrom Sale once on the blog so this is going to be a long post. I will be coming back to add to this blog post when the sale starts to add my favorite items as well as items that are worth buying. I will be putting easy to shop links on my Blog Facebook page, so be sure to follow along there. Once the sale starts, I will have links to shop the Nordstrom Sale that I hope you use when making purchases because then I get a very small commission for each link clicked and purchases made with my link. Since every other blogger out there is going to be writing about it, I wanted to put my two cents in about some tricks I have learned over the years and talk about what is actually worth purchasing. I am a broke, full time working, shoe loving, rent-paying gal over here, so I make sure to justify any purchase before buying it because buying new shoes may mean pasta for dinner for the third night in a row next week to balance my budget!
