Brower Power Y'all

Back when I was swimming in money (read: when I was single), I took it upon myself to spend money about every weekend. And my store of choice was American Eagle. I would drop $40-$80 on the weekends. Mostly shopping clearance, because things went on sale on a regular basis so it was worth it. I bought one of my most favorite pair of sandals there...I miss them so. Anyway, thinking of a simpler time I decided to highlight AE and all there "all-American" goodness. FYI, AE has sizes all the way up to 18, which is SO awesome that they have fashion available to every size, there's nothing I hate more than to find a website that I like and it only goes up to "L" or "32in" barf...we're not all waifs.

Onward:

Are these not the cutest bermudas ever?! There are a few different styles with this great dark rinse. They aren't that expensive $34.95 (not bad for great quality). These would make the best summer shorts because they'll go with everything. I love classic style.

Another great summer purchase are these plaid trouser shorts. They're a little fun/different and can show some of your awesome personality. These would look so cute with a polo or just plain tee. Keep it simple up top if there's a party on the bottom. I totally made that up, it was awesome. $39.95

This would be a great cover-up for your swimsuit! Such great colors and it also comes in a green combo with turquoise, so fun. This would also just be a great summer dress with a Shade shirt underneath. I love the color blocking in this dress, usually I'm not a huge fan of the color block but the cut of this dress is simple and the colors are very complimentary, I love easy. $49.50

A great example of easy weekend style are all the great graphic t's that AE has. They're easy to layer and have a great laid back style. I think they are a very college girl style but when I see someone who is over college age wearing one of these, I think that they have a great casual style, like they were very cool in college and can take that style on in their family life. It's just one of the many assumptions I make about people and the clothes that they wear....I'm full of them. $19.50 (and they always go on sale).

Love this shirt! It's a great summer shirt and it comes in 3 other colors. This would be great with shorts, jeans, a skirt. It could be dressed up for church and casual for summer lovin'. Love everything about it, plus it's the dip dyed style that is very "in" right now. $29.50

Make it yourself! Seriously, you can make your own polo. You can choose the color, the size of the eagle and the color of the eagle. I choose the heather grey and a medium sized yellow eagle, easy, breezy, summer style. $34.50

These are the boyfriend jean, love it. Super comfy for summer nights watching the stars or making smores. You thought I was going to say making out, didn't you? I thought about it. $24.95

Love these shoes!! They are the all trendy "gladiator" style and these are GREAT! Easy, comfy and so cute, so, so cute. You can pull this off without looking crazy. $39.50

I just put these in because they're cute and aren't expensive, $29.95, for cute espadrilles is a great price, plus they're eyelet, who doesn't love eyelet for the summer season?

Fun jewelry, you can get it all at AE.

Love these shell earrings, very beachy cool.

So I didn't realize till yesterday that I didn't do a Fantasy Friday last week...sorry. Totally spaced it. I've been stressed...I'm not sure with what but I've felt stressed.

So hopefully AE day made up for it. I really love AE clothes, I love the easy style, the prices especially sale prices are amazing (I got a charcoal peacoat for $40, orig.$140! and I STILL wear it, grant it it is a bit snug but I can still wear it, that's all that really matters.).

Peace out, have a great weekend and I'll be putting up the rest of Elle's b-day pics some time this weekend...maybe. Out.

Romanians were so beautiful. I love seeing popular groups from other countries; it's usually SO different from American music. I actually spent time with my brother the other day and I usually loathe his music but he had this O-Zone CD and it was very enjoyable even if it's in another language...and the fact that these boys are gorgeous doesn't hurt at all. Apparently there is some famous You Tube video of some fat kid singing this song...the sad thing is I only found this out from South Park. Yes I watch South Park on occasion. So, many of you may have heard this song before...I'm out of the loop, what can I say. You can still enjoy watching "entertainment" from the other side of the world.
