After spending most of this gloomy Friday online window shopping (which to be honest, may be the rest of my day as well haha), I noticed one of my favorite new trends that are coming back...... Matching separates!
But what I found interesting is that the trend can also be found in activewear! Since I have started eating healthy and working out regularly, I have become obsessed with activewear. Personally I love Adidas, and they have embraced this matching trend. And I must say they have done so very well!
They may be loud, but this heavily patterned workout just makes me want to go to the gym! Because when you look good, you feel good! For more fitness fashion, check out my Pinterest HERE, or by clicking the icon under my about me!

Spring break has finally begun! I seriously never thought this break would come and I could not be any happier. Bo and I are heading down to Fort Walton Beach, as I previously mentioned, and we are beyond excited! This has been a rough semester mentally, physically, and emotionally, so some time on the beach can definitely heal our higher education wounds! With that being said, I have put together a POLYVORE collection of what I personally consider to be essentials!
This year was the first time in about 4 years that I have bought a two piece bathing suit, because thankfully the high waisted trend works on my figure. I'm very excited to show it off on the beach next week! I'm also obsessed with the colored mirror lens sunglasses trend. The ones above are from Forever 21, and I also have them in black. Chapstick and sunscreen are a must! EOS is by far my favorite chapstick brand, and because they are so oddly shaped they are easy to find when you are fumbling through your purse or beach bag! Also, I love spray on sunscreen. It is so much easier to apply than the sunscreen lotion (which is literally one of my least favorite things in the world to be honest) and I like to get the Sport version so sweat isn't much of a problem.
But what would "SB2K14" be without a good playlist? Something to blast while you are driving on the interstate, with windows down of course, on the way to your destination. Well fear not, for I have put on together for you! It is guaranteed to put a smile on your face :)
I hope everyone enjoyed this post, and if you are also on spring break then make it a great one! My boyfriend Bo and I will be filming and documenting our trip, so hopefully we will have that coming for you all soon! Now I gotta go pack our suitcases!

Hey guys! I want to introduce a new weekly post that I will be doing! As mentioned in the title, it's my social media crush of the week! I don't know about you, but I love social media. Of course it brings drama, stress, and negativity to our society at times, but it can also help you discover so many cool people! Whether it be youtube, Instagram, twitter, tumblr, blogger, or anything else you can think of, these are some of my favorite accounts that I have stumbled upon in the past few years and also recently. So let's get started!
Bunny Meyer AKA GRAV3YARDGIRL
Grav3yardgirl has been a big inspiration to me. I have been following her youtube videos for a few years now, and I was hooked after the first one. Her personality is HUGE and her confidence is so refreshing. With over 1,800,000 subscribers on youtube, she must be doing something right. Her fan following and youtube subscribers are called the "Swamp Family"(She lives in texas) (I'm a proud member) (so many parenthesis lol). Grav3yardgirl makes videos focusing mostly on fashion and beauty, but has weekly video series including DOES THIS THING REALLY WORK?, WRECK IT WEDNESDAYS, SWAMP FAMILY MAIL and her infamous TEA VLOGS. Fans send her fan mail from all over the world and I must say, I'm a lil jealous lol.
Here is an example of DOES THIS THING REALLY WORK?
And let's throw in a TEA VLOG too
I absolutely adore everything about her, but my favorite thing would have to be her style. If you don't already know, I am all about some grunge. I love the "who cares" attitude that is expressed flawlessly throughout the style, as well as the 90's influence. I mean come on, everyone loved/loves the 90's, right? Grav3yardgirl is constantly posting OOTD's and different aspects of her style on Instagram and I just can not get enough. Here are some of my personal favorites:
BUT to be completely honest, my favorite posts are about her shoes. SHE HAS DREAM SHOES. I mean every single pair that I could even imagine wanting, she's got 'em. I would have never developed a love for Jeffery Campbell if it wasn't for this lady! Now I own two pair! And of course, here are some of my favorites (and it was very hard to pick just a few):
And those are just a few from her fabulous collection!
Grav3yardgirl also has a an etsy store where you can buy adorable Swamp Family merch, including t shirts, buttons, tea cups, keychains, hoodies, stickers, and phone cases. Each item features a different one of her unique and catchy catch phrases!
The weird thing abut social media is that it makes you feel like you already know someone, just based off their posts. You feel that sense of friendship with people you have never even met, and in most cases, have never even spoken to. With that being said, Bunny feels like a real friend to me. And I must say, I wish she was in real life too lol. If you watch any of her videos you will know why. She has truly inspired me to love myself, my flaws, and my weirdness.
If you want to become a member of the Swamp Family, subscribe to her YOUTUBE CHANNEL and "Give an alligator it's wings"! And if you would like to follow Grav3yardgirl, you can reach her here:
