I Love Twitches

Every year I look forward to October so I can watch all of my favorite Halloween movies. I absolutely love the 2005 Disney movie Twitches starring Tia and Tamara Mowery and the 2007 sequel Twitches Too. It is cheesy (seriously, what Disney movie isn’t?), but the movie is funny and nostalgic for me.

Now looking back, I realize the twins Camryn and Alex were the ultimate fashionistas of these movies and deserve some props.

Look how fierce these two look in their color coordinating outfits. Somehow they found a way to make layered tank tops look cool. No warlock is going to get in their way in these outfits!

 

 

The bohemian vibe Alex is giving off here is real. We were all culprits of the floating belt style by not putting the belt through the pant loopholes at one point or another. The twins were being extra sassy here and I love Camryn’s bubble gum pink prom dress. You can really tell the difference in the sister’s personalities with these outfits.

I loved these beautiful dresses the girls wore at the end of Twitches too. They were so regal and the colors and shapes of the dresses complimented them well. If I had to pick one though, I would pick Camryn’s ensemble. That maroon, basket weaved, off-the-shoulders top gives me life. I would feel like the belle of the ball in this dress.

I found the Monstober schedule for Disney Chanel online at HalloweenMovies on TV. Here are the next times either of the Twitches movies are being shown on Disney Channel. Click the link below to see the full list of Halloween themed shows and movies they will be playing this month.

thredUP, the Online Consignment Store

 

When it comes to a description of the company, the thredUP about us section on its website does it best. “thredUP is the easiest way to save money on great Women’s and Kids’ clothing brands and sell clothes for cash. We’re like a consignment store, but simpler. On thredUP you can refresh your entire wardrobe online without ever leaving your house.”

For someone who likes to shop with a tight and limited budget, I live for a good deal. This online consignment store seems to be too good to be true. They boast that they carry name brand clothing lines such as Kate Spade New York, Lululemon, and CrewCuts by J.Crew. It really is the next step to online shopping.

When I looked around their website I was impressed. The layout was user friendly and I enjoyed the wide variety of styles and products. You have to be quick though because the site only has one of each item. It is possible what you want might be sold if you wait a few days. The site has Women, Designer, Plus, Maternity, Shoes, Handbags, Girls, and Boys as their main sections of clothes to shop from all at great prices with up to 90% off of retail.

They have a feature that tells the shopper what condition the product is in and if there is a minor flaw, they will exactly where and what it is. This is really helpful because that is the one thing I am picky about when it comes to consignment shopping. I want to see if there are any flaws with the garment, and if there is anything wrong I want to know if I can fix it myself. We all know some things are just beyond repair. While looking around on the site though, I haven’t seen many with terrible flaws.

I haven’t bought anything yet from the site but you will be the first to know if I do!

XOXOXO Stay Fabulous!

My Fall Shopping Spree

I am sad because summer has come to a close and I have to accept that. I will miss the crop top, flip flop world I used to live in. As fall is starting, I am getting more and more excited for the fall attire. My excitement is matched by the lack of funds in my bank account due to my recent shopping spree. Completely justified by my need for a new fall wardrobe of course!

These suede boots from Amazon are beautiful. I normally wouldn’t buy good clothes from Amazon, but these were too amazing to pass up. The reason why I bought them over a faux leather pair was because of their texture and the little gold touch around the heel. The boots are unique and stylish and would look great with a pair of tight black pants. I don’t have tight black pants. This proved to be a problem so I headed to H&M for a quick solution.

At H&M these pants are called slim-fit treggings. They come in a variety of colors and prints and seem to be a combination of twill pants a leggings. I do believe these are the pants I have been searching for my entire life! I have always hated leggings because they have been traditionally too thin for my liking. The twill combination will make it elastic and stretchy like the legging, but with the sturdiness of the twill pant. This will be a great addition to my closet.

This is just a couple of the items I purchased but when I receive all of my packages I will make a post about it. 

XOXOXO Stay Fabulous!

The Crazy Looks from Charmed

I have started to re-watch the ‘90’s classic Charmed. Charmed was one of those shows I used to watch with my mom after I got home from school so it has sentimental value. However, It did not take me long to realize 70% of the time the witch sisters outfits were ridiculous! Like laugh out loud I can’t even ridiculous.  The show began in 1998 so I can’t be too judgmental (we all know the ‘90’s were a scary time for fashion), but I seriously can’t believe it was this outlandish and comical. 

Phoebe (A.K.A Alyssa Milano) wears some of the most quizzical looks out of all the sisters.  This look especially makes no sense. It is a cut up t-shirt with embroidered flowers on it held together by an oversized safety pin which is hideous. Under the t-shirt, is a bright purple lacey bra. This is so weird. Is it grungy? Is it hip? The world may never know. 

Phoebe just can’t catch a break because these pants are hideous. These cowboy inspired front lace up pants with purple and red flowers leave me speechless. The obscure lilac and muddy brown colors on the pants do not help how bizarre these pants are. To top it all off, the pants are paired with a white furry turtleneck with silver sparkles.

This one is my personal favorite. This is a halter top LITERALLY made out of denim jeans! Who in their right mind thought this was an acceptable piece of clothing?! I screamed out loud when I saw this for the first time. Obviously, my first thought was to take a picture and Snapchat this look out to the world. There really isn’t more I can say about this, it speaks for itself. 

I realize all these examples were of Phoebe, but the other sisters have had their fair share of crazy outfits as well. I mean, who wears backless halter crop tops to work? If you want to witness the insane fashion for yourself, the whole series of Charmed is on Netflix for your viewing pleasure. 

XOXOXO Stay Fabulous!
