Me in Pictures

     Someone asked me if I could tell a little about myself in a post, so I figured the perfect way to do so would be through pictures and a little text! Firstly, my name is Tariro and I am 16 years old. I was born in Harare, Zimbabwe and moved to the US when I was 8. I've always been obsessed with fashion, and my favorite part about it is that you can mix almost anything and come up with a pretty outfit instantly! I'm a huge dreamer, so coming up with a dream closet seems right up my alley as well. I can't pinpoint exactly what my style is, but I know for sure I like being comfortable, I love riding boots, and sweaters are my friend.

     I started my blog to just blog about trends and outfits I really like, and it's just evolved over time. I also really love beach houses, and I could spend hours on Remax drooling over all the pretty ones I see. I'm also very into graphic designing, and I hope to become a computer science major and minor in graphic design! I play varsity field hockey and varsity lacrosse, and I hope to play lacrosse in college! If you have any questions please feel free to ask! You can comment or email me: savileislove@yahoo.com :)

Un dia en Paradiso

  

Somedays during lunch at school, I go to the library. I pick a table in the corner to sit at, I pick up a few magazines from the racks, and I read (aka flip through and admire all the pretty pictures). Teen Vogue is usually my first pick, and today I stumbled upon something I really liked.
     While looking through the new issue, I saw what I think may be my favorite editorial of the year. Filled with beautiful pictures all taken in Mexico, this editorial may be the true definition of fashion in paradise. I love the colors, the nature, the beautiful prints, and how they're all combed together to create something beautiful. It holds the simple element, but together it's just really nice.

     I sincerely apologize for being MIA! School, lacrosse, life. Crazy combinations but I promise i'm back and i'm around. 

 

Crop Story Short

  

  I am very partial to crop tops.....I like wearing them to the beach and to the pool, but i'm not usually one to wear them out and about. With the weather getting a little warmer, I decided to give it a try with a new crop I recently got.

     Turns out crop tops aren't so bad after all! I decided to go all short and added on a pair of shorts, but to balance out the heights and add a little grunge I pulled on a military jacket, then some flirty flower print wedges. I was happy to see them all work together pretty well, and I could finally enjoy the breeze a little more. I can't promise to crop everyday, but a girl can crop once in a while! I've been wearing athletic wear for the past two months due to lacrosse season, so it was nice to hang out with my sister and channel my inner summer girl!

Derby Down South

  

     On the first Saturday of May at Churchill Downs, one of the most exciting and most fashionable events of the year is happening! I'm talking about the Kentucky Derby, one of the premier horse racing events around. And though the thoroughbreds might be the contenders for the Tripple Crown, you can cap on your own Tripple Crown with ultra-fashionable derby inspired attire! For those who may be attending the derby, this post might help you come up with an outfit to wear, and even if you aren't (like me), it's still fun to look at the styles and maybe even pick up inspiration for other days!

     It's even more exciting because for the third year in a row, Vineyard Vines is the official outfitter of the derby. They released an absolutely amazing Kentucky Derby collection, filled with beautiful bright dresses and adorable printed bow ties, and lots of other goodies too! The great thing is, you can buy the derby attire online or at Vineyard Vines stores too. So, you're bound to not miss out on the fun, and hey, who says you can't do your own darn derby thing?

     My favorite part of the derby is the dresses! I love seeing all the lovely ladies dressed up in bright or beautifully patterned dresses. It's the perfect venue to break out a dress you might've been too shy to break out before. I also really like the hats, they remind me of ones my grandma wears to church. Big, bold, and beautiful! I think pastel flats or Keds would make a perfect substitution for heels or wedges, and they're definitely playfully fun.

ConGRADS!

    

In a few weeks, seniors and students in their last years of high school or college all over the world will be graduating! And as the relatives, friends, and loved ones of those hardworkers, it's our pleasure to give them little rewards for pushing through and getting that diploma at the end of the hard years.

     I'll surely miss my senior friends, and I can't wait to start shopping around for sweet gifts for them. My sister will also be graduating next year from UMBC, and even though its a little far away i'm already thinking of what I want to get her.

     So, whether your gift is small or big, expensive or inexpensive, the thought is truly what counts and your love will show through! Here are a few gifts i'm sure any grad, some specifically for the lady-grads, would absolutely love to get. It may or may not be partially my graduation wishlist.....for next year ;)

     A Tiffanys necklace would make an amazing present, and i'm sure a little blue box could bring a smile to anyone's face! For the techie/hip grad in your life, the new iPad mini or the normal sized iPad would be awesome. Surfing the web is just so much more fun from the comforts of the couch, and it's actually very useful during homework hours.
     There's nothing sweeter than pretty color combos, and a Lilly Pulitzer dress is just that! It's an adorable way to swing into warm weather.
     If your grad is moving away, giving them a piece of home to take away isn't a bad idea at all. Slip some of your favorite pictures with them into frames, they make a great present.
     A Longchamp bag is nice for the grad on the run, and they last a while!
     And again for the tech-hip, a customized iPhone case dedicated to them graduating is perfect! It's a great way to remind them that to you, they're a star!

If you're looking for graduation invitations, take a look at the great ones offered by Tiny Prints! They'll be sure to live up to the big day!

Late Spring Awakening

     It's not much of a spring when it snows, but it warms my heart knowing that somewhere out there the warm weather is coming! I've been putting together sort of a wishlist for spring......well more like spring/summer.

     I'll be digging around for shift dresses, skater dresses (my new favorites), and adorable sandals! And I can't let a cute pair of ankle boots slip away either. If I find one, they'll definitely become a staple! Nothing cuter than a combo of an adorable short dress and ankle boots. As a self certified mixer, I can't wait to mix some neutrals and patterns with colorful jewelry. Last spring was about the clothing being bright, but I like a little twist here and there. What's on your spring wishlist? I won't blame you if it involves chasing away the cold weather.

Corky Crew

     The little glimpses of Spring have me breaking out the wedges and combining them with some layers. I got a really cute new pair of Soda wedges, and I knew they'd go perfectly with some jeans and navy pieces! The white jacket was more of a spur of the moment thing. It's a really vibrant white, and I always get compliments when I wear it! I can't wait for it to fully be spring! Who doesn't miss the shorts, skirts, and tanks?
