Triangl Swimwear

Normally I wouldn’t spend a hundred dollars on a bathing suit, but for Triangl I made an exception. I fell in love with these bathing suits that are plastered all over tumblr in the summer but I couldn’t justify spending that much money. After Christmas I caved and bought one from their new collection. The Poppy in the color blue crush was screaming my name and I just had to have it. 
The quality of these suits is amazing. They are structured so well and are even beautifully packaged in a black box with Triangl printed on it for easy storing. You do have to be careful and not fold it or it will crease. I used my Triangl for the first time on a hot tub with my friends and the suit was perfect. It did however take a bit longer to dry, but that’s because the neoprene is so thick.
I would for sure buy another Triangl bathing suit. I cant wait to spend all summer wearing mine at the beach, I’ll just have to see if it can withstand the test of surfing!

Defining your style

I love all aspects of fashion and while I do have specific likes and dislikes, I don’t believe you need to have one specific style. Over Christmas break I experimented with tribal printed leggings, doc martens and crop tops when I was going out to parties or getting coffee with friends home from college. I also browsed stores like Nasty Gal and Urban Outfitters. 
I ended up at a New Years Eve party in a crop top and a long tribal printed cardigan and I could not have loved my look more. When you put on an outfit you get a confidence boost especially when you really love the way you look and it gives you the opportunity to go out and in a sense be someone else for the night.

That’s exactly what I did over break and I couldn’t have loved going out of my comfort zone more. It made me want to incorporate those different pieces and styles into my everyday wear which is also exactly what I plan on doing. 

Barbour


Barbour hasn’t disappointed me yet, and this Christmas was no different. My last gift I opened on Christmas was a classic 'beadnell' Barbour jacket in the color olive. 
I fell in love as soon as I put it on and it just gets better with every use. Its not only well made but its kept me warm in the recent below 0 temperatures. 
The color goes great with everything in my closet as well. I love how the inside is lined with tartan, it makes rolling the sleeves up just once look really cute. I definitely suggest investing in one of these coats because they are so worth the money.
