3 Fun & Sexy Halloween Costumes featuring Yandy

October 24, 2019 No Comments

Who doesn’t love Halloween? Halloween is the perfect time of year to transform yourself into whatever character you desire. It’s always fun to play a character for one night, and you can really get into it by putting your creativity and imagination to work.

One of my favorite places for Halloween costumes (plus swim and lingerie!) is Yandy.com. You can find anything from a fun look that’s perfect for trick or treating, to something much more daring and sexy. They even have a DIY Shop that lets you pick and choose pieces to create your own unique costume.

I picked out three of my favorite costumes from Yandy’s 2019 collection to try on so you can see how they fit and look!

The Magical Student

This Sinister Spellcaster Costume speaks to my Slytherin soul. It’s so cute and comfortable! A crop top and skirt combination is always sexy, and the schoolgirl is a classic Halloween costume choice. It’s also styled with a short, black cape that provides a little more upper body coverage. I’m really loving this deep, jewel toned green (which is so striking), and the high waist covers up the area that makes many of us feel insecure. Of course, I had to complete this magical costume with a wand, but you can complete the look with any schoolgirl or Harry Potter related accessories. This costume is perfect for a party – you can really get into character and have fun casting spells all night!

The Rebel Officer

This Officer Lauren Order Costume is so much fun! The black jumpsuit looks flattering on many different body types, and the waist cincher belt (with the cute handcuffs) breaks up the lines by highlighting your waist. The police patches are a unique touch and I love the matching hat. And I obviously needed the quintessential handcuffs to fully complete the look. The cop is another one of those costumes that lets you play a really fun character for the evening. Who doesn’t love to take charge of party-goers?

The Undercover Worker

I’m a Stranger Things fan, so I had to pick this Yandy Scary Scoops Costume. Even if you’re not into the show, a sailor costume is always a cute option. This whole look is really flirty, with my favorite part being the striped top showing off a pop of cleavage – just enough to keep it sexy. The show is still so popular that you’ll be able to wear this costume anywhere and everyone will know exactly who you are, and you can really capitalize on the character by getting really creative with how you choose to accessorize it. But at the very least, it gives you an excuse to eat all the ice cream you want for the evening.

If you haven’t gotten your costume yet, don’t stress. There’s still time to shop Yandy and get your costume before Halloween! Hurry over to Yandy.com to start creating your sexy or scary look!

4 Athletic Wear Brands You Probably Haven’t Heard Of

September 30, 2019 No Comments

There are so many exciting, up and coming athletic wear brands, why just stick to Nike and Adidas? We have more options than ever before and so many are stylish, affordable, and functional. Have you heard of any of these brands?

Pact

Pact is all about sustainability, fair trade, ethical fashion. Everything is made with organic cotton and is super soft and breathable. If you know me, you know I’m all about comfort, especially for workout clothes.

Free Country

Free Country is focused on making the outdoors accessible to everyone. They combine style and function at an affordable price for athletic wear that is perfect for any outdoor activity. It can be so hard to find cute clothes that actually perform and hold up against the weather. Who says you can’t be fashionable and outdoorsy?

Yvette Sports

Yvette Sports makes affordable sports bras and clothing in a large range of sizes. I always struggle to find bras that fit, and this one miraculously fit like a glove. I didn’t expect a bra without underwire to be supportive enough for me, but this bra has enough structure for light exercise such as yoga.

Yoga Club Box

Yoga Club Box is a subscription box that includes pieces from well-known brands, curated for your personal style, at an affordable price. They claim to save you at least 50% off retail prices. My box included brands I have seen at Nordstrom and I was very happy with the quality of the items I received.

I can’t wait for the weather to cool down in Arizona so I can go hiking and try out all my new athletic wear for Fall!

Weekend Getaway at Harrah’s Atlantic City

September 1, 2019 No Comments

I recently traveled to NYC to visit one of my best friends, Tyler, and we decided to take a little weekend trip to Atlantic City while I was there. I had never been to Atlantic City, so I was excited to see what the “East Coast Vegas” had to offer. We stayed at Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City, which is very close to the boardwalk and has its own casino, resort-style pool, and numerous restaurants.

We had a suite in the Atrium Tower, which was very spacious, and the building itself was quiet and felt separate from the bustle of the casino. The hotel room was very clean and the bed was incredibly soft and comfortable. We felt right at home while staying there.

One of my favorite things about Harrah’s Atlantic City was the huge indoor pool and hot tubs. The pool area is under a glass dome so there’s plenty of natural sunlight and it’s a perfect 82 degrees year-round. We did have some overcast weather and rain while we were there, so the pool was the perfect escape!

It wouldn’t be a visit to Harrah’s without trying our luck at the casino! There were tons of different games to play: slot machines, poker, roulette, craps, and more. I didn’t win anything, but Tyler came out with about $60! The casino area of the hotel was buzzing at all hours, and we had a ton of fun each night we were there.

Gordon Ramsay Steak Review

We had the opportunity to try Gordon Ramsay Steak during our stay, which was just a short walk from our hotel room. I’ve always liked steak, but I’ve never thought of myself as a ‘steak person’ – until I tried Gordon Ramsay Steak! The entire experience was very high class and luxurious, from the restaurant decor, to the service. Our waiter was very friendly and brought around a display with all of the different cuts of steak and explained each one to us.

I decided on the New York Strip and Tyler went with the Beef Wellington (a Hell’s Kitchen classic!). The meal started off with a selection of bread, each of which was delicious. I chose the French 76 to drink, which is a champagne cocktail with elderflower. Very tasty!

We ordered the mac and cheese and fingerling potatoes as sides, which were both divine. The steak was perfectly tender and is by far the best steak I have ever had in my life. I am drooling just thinking about it! For dessert, we chose the cheesecake, but our waiter also convinced us to try to sticky toffee pudding (Gordon’s mom’s recipe). Both were fantastic! I honestly can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. If I ever come back to Atlantic City, I am definitely coming here again!

All in all, we had a great weekend away in Atlantic City. I highly recommend staying at Harrah’s Resort if you decide to make AC your next travel destination. Have you ever been to Atlantic City? Tell me about your experience in the comments below!

3 Types of Bodysuits Styled For 3 Different Looks: Featuring Yandy

July 31, 2019 No Comments

Bodysuits have been a hot trend lately and it looks like they are here to stay. I love bodysuits because they are very easy to mix and match with different skirts, shorts, and pants to create different looks. They are also very flattering because they hug your curves and nip in your waist. You can find anything from a basic, solid color bodysuit, to something more daring that would be the focus of the outfit. They can also be worn year-round, and dressed up or down, so they are a very versatile piece to have in your wardrobe.

Yandy sent me some bodysuits to try out and I styled them in a few different ways so you can see the various ways they can be worn.

Lacy Teddy Bodysuit

The Yandy Edita Rose Teddy is actually lingerie, but can definitely be worn as a bodysuit. While there are sheer elements, there is also enough coverage for it to be worn in public without any worries. This is an absolutely gorgeous piece that is very feminine and delicate. I chose to pair it with a black leather skirt to contrast the femininity of the bodysuit, and they play really well together. I would wear this outfit on a night out with the girls! This teddy is a total bargain at only $19.95 and it is really well made.

Racerback Bodysuit

You can’t go wrong with a black racerback bodysuit for everyday, casual wear. This Jersey and Lace Bodysuit is super comfortable and has a little added style with lace details on the back and bottom. I paired it with black denim shorts for a look I would wear out shopping or even to the bars. This is a great staple to have in your wardrobe because you can dress it up or down and match it with a lot of different bottoms. I would love to have one of these in a bunch of different colors so I could match it with a lot of different outfits.

Long Sleeve Bodysuit

It is also great to have a solid, long sleeve bodysuit that can be worn for a casual look or for going out. The Choker Plunge Bodysuit is the perfect choice because it has a flirty, cut out neckline, but is still appropriate enough that you could wear it to an office party. It is very stretchy and the material is actually solid enough that it isn’t see through – something that I always struggle to find! I always have issues matching tops to this sequin mini skirt, but this bodysuit is a perfect match.

The great thing about Yandy is it’s size-inclusive! Check out their plus-size lingerie for some super cute bodysuits.
