retro swimsuit Marc Jacobs

it's not anywhere near swimsuit season yet but with my trip to Barcelona
coming up in May, I couldn't help but search
for the perfect swimsuit.
i've always wanted a retro style swimsuit
and thanks to Marc Jacobs now I have one.



I love it!  The high waisted belted shorts are super cute and so is the top!
Can't wait to rock this at the beach!
This was a fashion STEELE clocking in at $80 from Loehmanns!
I also spotted it at Century 21 as well.

What do you think of the retro style swim suits?
 I'm really digging the retro style looks with a modern twist such as this one and also one pieces as well. H&M currently has the cutest one pieces for less than $25.

If you are looking for some great swimsuits check this one, this one and this retro one out.

New Year, New Me

Happy New Year!
I had an awesome night last night. I went to an early church service, followed by dinner and a champagne toast at midnight. My BFFF and I had an awesome night. So we both had to figure out an outfit that was appropriate for church and also had a litttle NYE flare for dinner. I've changed my look for the New Year.
I hope you guys like it!
Finally wore the Marc Jacobs dress I got at Salvation Army for $9.99

Paired it with gold tear drop earrings from H&M

I have so many great ideas for this year 2011, I cant wait to get started. For one I will be doing more of these photo slide shows. I really enjoy making these videos to some of my favorite music. Music really inspires some of my clothing.

My New Years Personal Committments to Myself:
1. Save more money $100 per paycheck and $50 towards retirement per paycheck
2. Travel to Spain (in May already planned yay!) and France (Maybe September???) in 2011
3. Work out on my Wii 3x week and jog 45 min 2x weekly

(I had to make my resolutions very specific I was told to be able to achieve them!)
So how was your NYE and what are your Resolutions for 2011???

Here are a few pics from the above video

The Salvation Army is an international, faith-based charitable organization with a simple mission:
 to help those in need without discrimination.
