Lil Red Shopping Tips!

Lil Red Shopping Tips!

I thought it would be fun to write about some of my favorite stories to shop at, and I promise you, you can trust my judgement, because I’m an amazing shopper! I’ve grown extremely fond of Aerie over the past few years for all of my pantie and lounge wear needs. (I still frequent Victoria’s Secret for all of my bras, which I’ll discuss in a future post!) The panties at Aerie are just absolutely ADORABLE. Not only are they sexy, but you can ALWAYS get them for a great deal, as they usually run a promotion for seven pairs of panties for $26.95. Nothing beats that!

I usually shop the Vintage Lace collection as pictured above. These are just a few of the options that you can shop in store and online. How cute are they?! Seriously, I love them. In fact, I think they’re above and beyond better in style and quality than the panties at Victoria’s Secret. Not only that, but they’re an amazing deal to boot! Don’t get me wrong about Aerie bras though, just because I don’t buy them, doesn’t mean they’re not beautiful and of great quality. I just need something a little more supportive in the bosom area, and a lot of Aerie bras fit more like a “t-shirt bra” or a “wear with everything” bra. They’re definitely made more for lounging around the house or running quick errands. I like to be 100% supported and locked and loaded at all times, so these braziers just aren’t for me. Aerie has a great selection of cute and comfy clothes too. These options range from sweet sweaters, tops, sweat pants, skirts, nightwear, and fun accessories. One of my favorite pairs of pants are actually from Aerie. They’re a pair of army green, ankle length skinny khakis and they’re too cute. All of Aerie’s clothing are great essential pieces to have. You really can dress them up or down and look great and feel comfortable either way. If nothing else, give Aerie undies a try. I can guarantee you they’ll be your pantie destination from now on!

Do I have any Aerie shoppers reading my blog? What stores do you guys like shopping at? Leave me a comment and let’s chat! Goodnight and happy shopping! -Sarah

Three trends that I’m OVER

Posted on by

Alright world, we need to talk. There are three trends that need to end ASAP. My fashion sense is very sharp, so these three popular fall trends are absolute deal breakers for me, because they look sloppy as hell.

Trend 1: JOGGERS. Jesus god, why? THESE ARE LITERALLY SWEAT PANTS.

blog1 blog2

There is NOTHING OKAY about wearing these out in public. Do you want to look like you’re in your pajamas? Come on girls, you’re better than that. I understand that people think that they can “dress these up” with a cute shirt or some heels, but answer me this question. Would you ever wear heels with your sweat pants? No? I didn’t think so. Let’s be sharp ladies, I’m talking a nice trouser, a great jean. Literally anything but this heinous excuse for a “fashion” statement.

Trend 2: CROP SWEATERS. I get it. Crop tops are cute. They’re a fun summer staple, and I’ll tell you what, I rocked the hell out of my crop tops this summer…but that’s neither here nor there. Crop tops don’t belong in a fall wardrobe. WHY WOULD YOU WANT YOUR STOMACH TO BE COLD?! Goosebumps on your tummy are NOT cute!!!! Fall should be about cozy, chunky sweaters that serve a purpose….TO KEEP YOU WARM! Save the teeny tiny sweaters for Baby Gap.

blog5 blog6

I genuinely don’t understand this trend. Why waste your money on half a sweater? Spend five dollars more and get a full on cardigan that will last you through fall, winter, hell your entire life!

Trend 3: KIMONOS. This trend is the less of the two evils that I mentioned above, but I’m still over it, just the same. I liked the idea of these tops in the beginning a lot, but then the trend got out of control. Everywhere I turned there was a kimono top in the exact same shape and the exact same unoriginal floral print. I suppose these tops are acceptable. Maybe I’m just bitter because they look like maternity tops on me. BUT that still doesn’t change the fact that some of these kimonos are super sloppy. I’ve seen many that look like the girl wearing them literally draped a curtain over herself. Maybe I should just wrap a bath towel around my arms and start the next big thing.

I dunno guys, these tops just do nothing for me. And I feel like they do nothing for a lot of people.

Are there any trends that you guys are ready to be rid of? What are your thoughts on some of these trends I mentioned above? Comment back and let’s talk! -Sarah

Out of Print

Out of Print

I’ve recently grown very fond of the brand Out of Print. The T-shirts feature different iconic and often out of print book covers. Not only are the shirts adorable, but the purchase of them helps benefit a great cause. For each product sold, one book is donated to a community in need through the brand’s partner Books For Africa. All of the clothing is treated to feel soft and worn, like a well read book. I found my first shirt from the brand in a cute little boutique called Shoo in Wisconsin. I instantly fell in love with the Goodnight Moon shirt, as it was my favorite growing up. At the boutique they also had a little onesie for a baby with the Le Petit Prince cover on it, but unfortunately no adult t-shirt. I was so disappointed because Le Petit Prince is one of my all time favorites. I was so pleased to find it when I was browsing on ModCloth and just HAD to buy it! Whenever I wear either of these shirts, I get tons of compliments, and I always make sure I let the admirers know about the great cause they can help out by buying these shirts. Here’s the company website: http://outofprintclothing.com/ make sure you check it out, and find your favorite book! You can also purchase some select styles on ModCloth as well: http://www.modcloth.com/

Here are a few of my personal favorites that I’d love to add to my collection:

Can’t wait to buy some of these soon!!! What book cover would you like to have on a shirt? Leave me a comment and let me know! -Sarah

OOTD! Ta da!!!

Soooo happy I got to break out a fun fall outfit of the day today!!! This outfit is one of my favorites because I’m wearing all of my favorites!! Here’s a breakdown of my clothes and where they’re from:
Jacket – PacSun, LA Hearts brand
Green sweater: American Eagle Outfitters
Coated skinny jeans: PacSun, Bullhead brand
Hat: PacSun, Gypsy Warrior
Boots: Macy’s, I.N.C.

If there’s one color I LOVE wearing, it’s dark green. It compliments my skin tone, hair color, and eyes to the T. There’s something so alluring to me about a fair skinned redhead in a nice deep green. It really makes a statement. The jeans I’m wearing are Old Faithful. I’ve had them for years, and I can’t bear to part with them…no matter how often the zipper falls down per day from so much wear and tear! The jacket I’m layering with is one of my favorite fall jackets. I purchased it last year, and still love it just as much to this day. The fun elbow patches are what really sold me, and I love the contrast between the colors of the dark khaki and charcoal gray. The boots I’m rocking today are a pair I’ve had for quite a while, but only recently started wearing frequently. Shame on me for that, because they really are gorgeous! They’re such a nice change from my usual beat up combat boots. (The sole of the shoe is completely peeling off….I’m going for the hobo chic look ;))). I thought my Gypsy Warrior hat was the perfect accessory to tie the outfit together. Variations of this outfit are gonna be my staple for fall. What looks do you guys plan on rockin this season? Comment me some ideas! -Sarah

Body mods

If there’s one thing I love, it’s body modifications. The Pic Stitch above is of my three tattoos, “After the flood all the colors came out” is a lyric from Beautiful Day by U2. My favorite song by my favorite band. I got it the day I turned eighteen, much to my parents disapproval ;). I also have “Do I dare?” on my arm, which was my favorite quote in the book Night Film, which I highly recommend to everyone! My newest tattoo I got this month is from Jack White’s song Lazaretto and it says “When I say nothing, I say everything”. I plan on getting the goddess Isis pictured below my Pic Stitch as my major side piece probably this winter. I love her story. I love everything she stands for. As we delve deeper into this blog, I might talk about some of the reasons why her story touches my heart so deeply. She has a very significant meaning in my life and I’m very excited to have her with me for forever. Don’t even get me started on piercings though, because I could go on for DAYS about how much I looooove piercings! They were my first love. After begging my mom to take me to get my belly button pierced at fifteen, I was hooked. I’ve gotten pierced and repierced over thirty times. At the moment I only have my belly button, my ears, and my four piercings on my nostrils. I had to take all of my piercings out when I was the assistant manager at The Body Shop. I was SO pissed! The only ones I’ve gotten redone after that fiasco was my nose piercings. But let me break down everything I’ve ever gotten, just so you guys can see how much of a fanatic I am!!!
2 industrial bars going through my hips
8 dermal anchors on my hips (I had four done at once, and then another four when I got them redone)
8 dermal anchors on my collarbones (I had four done at once, and then, like my hips, got them repierced)
8 piercings on my nose (I had four done at once, then, like my hips and collarbones, got it repierced)
2 on my lip (snakebites)
4 on my ear
1 on my cartilage
1 on my belly button
Now do you believe me when I say how much I love piercings? Haha I would really like to get my septum done soon, and am also playing around with the idea of getting my snakebites redone. So many body mods so little time!!!! If you guys have any piercing or tattoo questions, please shoot me a comment! Also, if you would like to see some pics with my old piercings in, shoot me a friend request on Facebook (Sarah Mushenheim) Sweet dreams! -Sarah

My Hatred of High Rise

Posted on by
Standard

High rise everything! Will it never ever end?! I’ve always had a dislike for high rise for the sole reason that high waisted bottoms simply don’t look good on me. I have an extremely muscular booty and thighs from years of competitive figure skating, so my main issue is finding something that will fit over my junk in the trunk, but will still fit snugly over my tiny waist. So what happens is that I get a HUGE waist gap, my ass looks flatter than a pancake, and my crotch looks like it’s a million miles long! Seriously, is a twelve inch zipper really necessary? Jesus. All I want for fall is to find some nice, coated leather jeans in a normal rise fit. My old pair of coated jeans are getting warn to the seam and I’m in desperate need of replacing them. The zipper constantly falls down on them so for hours I can walk around unknowing that my fly is down! Not cute. At PacSun, where I work, EVERYTHING is high rise. Why can’t there be options? Why is only one body type being catered to? Because spoiler alert: high rise is NOT going to look good on everyone. Just like a crop top or a pixie haircut is not gonna look good on everyone. Can normal rise jeans be a thing again? Please? Ladies, where are some good places to shop for jeans? Leave me a comment if you have any favorite stores, and give me your opinion on the high waisted trend!
This is basically what my crotch looks like in high waisted anything. WHY IS THE ZIPPER SO LONG?!
