warm weather dreams and spandex/latex blends

Is it too early for babin' suit discussions?  Nah, didn't think so.  I'm working on my post baby body as we speak so maybe I'm just looking for a little inspiration to get my ass in it's rightful upright position gear.

I'm super loving the retro high wasted bottoms this year.  And I don't know what I would need the long sleeve number shown below for, but I want a reason.

 Good ole' Target & Victoria's Secret always have my heart when it comes to swimsuits though.  Target, because they are so inexpensive to begin with and if you wait like 3 weeks it will probably be marked down to about $4.  And Victoria's Secret because they always make my boobs look amazing and those ruffly bottoms up there are flattering like you wouldn't believe.

Before you ask the question my husband already asked...Yes I already have a million bikinis and no, it's not enough.

I miss you summer.  Please disregard my wish last year that you would go away.  I was pregnant, therefor I can't be held responsible for my feelings.

There is nothing I love more than legit gooooooooood style.  Not the chick that follows the latest trends or buys everything off the front rack at Forever 21 with all the tell-tale signs of cheap and tacky.  I'm talking the girl that can walk into Forever 21 and walk out with the item that no one will ever know was bought from that store.  The girl that can spot a forever trend over a here-today-gone-tomorrow trend.

Style requires timeless pieces.  The quintessential little black dress, a pair of jeans that make your ass look fantastic and a chic blazer, among others.  My very favorite item of clothing that never seems to be out of style is the vintage rock n' roll t-shirt.  Quite frankly nothing makes a girl look cooler.

I have lots that I've acquired over the years from various garage sales, thrift stores, vintage shops, estate sales  and lots that I've stolen from my oh so rock n' roll hubby.  He's just the coolest.   Here are some of my favorite new rock n' roll t-shirts out there with a vintage feel and some actual vintage treasures.

Worst Dressed

GQ Magazine just ranked the Top 40 Worst Dressed Cities in America and lucky #31 goes to...that's right you guessed it, Detroit!

"We don't kick people when they're down, and we don't mock their dress when times are tough. Few cities have been hit harder in the decade past than Detroit. But it's not the poor and unfortunate that are the prime offenders in the D. No, it's the moneyed that singe our eyes and steal our souls. Consider disgraced former mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his penchant for pinstripes, broad-shouldered suiting, and unbearably prideful cigar-chomping. A city weeps from hardship, while fat cats sully a once-proud town's blue collar grit with fat, ungainly lapels."—Sean Fennessey

Damn-it-all if that Kwame Kilpatrick won't stop bringing our city down. 

Despite being voted the #31 worst dressed city in America, my husband and I powered through our tears and did some shopping.  I apparently am really into wild animal prints and colors this season.  My husband of course is sticking with the classics, black and plaid. 

Style and fashion are 100% in the eye of the beholder so I'm willing to take this news with a grain of salt.
