Where to Find a Pop of Crochet

I'm loving crochet because is very girly and flattering as long as you don't overdo it. Simply things like a crochet belt or hair clips instantly give your out fit a sweet touch of texture. Crochet shirts like the crochet camis look great over swimsuits and give them a sort of boho vibe. Crochet dresses make a nice solid statement and shirts with crochet detailing build the shirt up with more character. You can use the crochet texture to give off different feelings. Here are some of my favorite finds (links for all the stores are below):

Lululemon Festival Bag Review

Lululemon has come out with a new bag that they call the festival bag. I've always been a fan of Lululemon because I dance so I get my jazz shorts/pants from there. I normally like their bags because they have a lot of space inside but this one is a little smaller (its more like a purse). I love the colour they sell it in (it's a bright orange) and the bag itself is very cute but this one is different: It has the option of carrying it on your waist as well as on your shoulder. It's definitely more appealing than a fanny pack but I'm not in love with it. If you are very athletic and go running every day then I think this is for you. I'm not sure how well it holds on your hips but Lululemon is an athletic store so the design is probably good. I normally find everything they have extremely comfortable and I love how it says "dance your asana off". Here are pictures of their new bag (link to their website is below).

Bath and Body Works Scented Candles Review

I have been hearing about the Bath and Body Works candles from everyone for a really long time but I was always very worried to try them because I wasn't sure if they would work well for very long. Scorpio, Taurus and I went to the mall a few days ago and we decided to walk into bath and body works. My friends and I probably smelt most of the candles in the store (some of the scents were unbelievably smack on). So I decided to get a Medium candle to try at home. The medium size burns for 20-30 hours. When I lit the candle I found out that it definitely works (and works well too). I'll defiantly be purchasing another again because when the candles are lit they give off a very nice, relaxing scent. I got the scent Frosted Cupcake but they have many other great scents. Here are my favorites (link for their website below):

-Virgo
Frosted Cupcake 4 oz. Small Candle - Slatkin & Co. - Bath & Body WorksMint Chocolate 14.5 oz. 3-Wick Candle - Slatkin & Co. - Bath & Body WorksLavender Vanilla 4 oz. Small Candle - Slatkin & Co. - Bath & Body Works
Apple Crumble 14.5 oz. 3-Wick Candle - Slatkin & Co. - Bath & Body WorksSummer Boardwalk 14.5 oz. 3-Wick Candle - Slatkin & Co. - Bath & Body WorksEspresso Bar 14.5 oz. 3-Wick Candle - Slatkin & Co. - Bath & Body Works
P.S. I suggest to go to the store if you are thinking about getting a candle because it's good to actually smell them before buying; there were a few candles that smelt nothing like how they were supposed to.

Cute and Classy Summer Outfit

I just finished reading The Notebook yesterday and had some outfit inspiration. The book is set just after World War II so the outfit is kind of vintage but modern at the same time. Honestly when I look at the outfit I feel like I live in the countryside. I calculated the overall cost of all the pieces and together they're $164 which is not too bad but you could probably find some similar pieces at discount stores like Value Village, Winners and your local thrift shop. Tell me what you think of it in the comments and if you guys want more posts like this.
Links for everything are down below.

PS. The Notebook is a really good book.

Where to Find Cute Beach/Pool Bags?

Scorpio and I live close to a beach except the water is always cold (even in summer) and not very nice for swimming so outdoor pools are a great alternative. Either way, you need a big beach bag to carry all the essentials but I never want to get a very expensive beach bag because they tend to get really worn out super fast. So I was checking out the Forever 21 website as suggested by a friend and I found some really adorable beach bags that are all under $16 but I also found some really nice totes that are totally my official beach bag replacement and they are all under $5 so when the bag gets worn out you can just get a new one without too much of an impact on your wallet. The totes also make me feel like I have just entered a vintage black and white movie. Here are a few of my favourite totes from Forever 21, all under $5 (links for everything are below)

AnnaSophia Robb's Seventeen Cover Shoot Video

This is probably my favourite issue of Seventeen magazine from this year. I loved the Carrie Diaries when it was showing and I really love AnnaSophia Robb's acting. The magazine was the swimsuit issue which I found it really helpful. I found this video on YouTube and it gave a taste of what she was wearing in the magazine and I couldn't resist sharing it with you guys (if you guys haven't already found it on YouTube). This is an issue to totally get! Enjoy! :-)

Where to look for the perfect dress? (trust me they're AWESOME)

Scorpio (as you guys know her) is absolutely in love with the dresses at ModCloth and with good reason (I love them too). The store has a HUGE variety of dresses. Personally I only really like the site for the dresses (not as much the shirts, shorts, etc..) Scorpio's sister actually ordered a formal dress from ModCloth a while ago and was happy with how it fitted and everything (trust me when I say she looked awesome in it). Some of the dresses are quite expensive which is a downside but they are great quality and there are always so many reviews to help you decide if the piece is right for you. I seriously recommend checking out the site (I'll have all the links down below). Below are a few of my favourite dresses so far. Enjoy!

MissGlamorazzi! One of my Favorite Beauty Gurus!

If you guys haven't already I totally recommend checking out MissGlamorazzi's beauty channel on YouTube. I've honestly been loving her videos and they're very informative. I couldn't resist putting one of her awesome videos on the blog. This is a not so recent one (it's from a few weeks ago) but I found it really helpful. Be sure to check out her channel. The link to her channel is below.

Where to look for a cute romper?

I'm completely in love with all of Victoria Secret's rompers (who would have thought?). I actually never new they sold rompers before. They are super adorable to slip over a swimsuit or simply to lounge around in during the summer because they keep you cool and are super duper comfy without being as revealing as a dress. Personally I really like these rompers because the waists are an elastic band and I'm not sure if anyone has ever tried the rompers without an elastic band or zipper but they are so annoying to get off. I also really love the colours because they can be really bright and outgoing like the yellow one in the center.
My must have accessory to wear with rompers are layered bracelets.
 I very much recommend to check out Victoria Secret if you are looking for a cute romper. 
Here are some of my favorite rompers. I'll have all the links below to check them out!
