Since tank top season is here, and that means we all want those sculpted arms to show off! We wanted to share some of our tips for getting sculpted arms with you all! We will start off by saying that it takes time and effort. You can’t give up after a few days, or even weeks. This tank is the perfect way to show off those hard-earned guns, or that great tan you just got (even if it is all from sunless tanner!) Before we get into our tips for sculpted arms, we wanted to share a little bit about this super cute and casual look for summer! This tank is SO soft and it is $22. It comes in 3 other colors, and is just a great, all-around tank.These wedges are SO comfy. We seriously live in them, and wear them with everything! These cutoffs you all have probably seen a zillion times on our instagrams. They are AMAZING! They come in a lighter wash, too. They fit true-to-size, and are $68! HOW TO GET SCULPTED ARMS:
lift weights
isolate by muscle groups (arms, back, etc.)
make sure you are lifting heavy enough weights (with good form)
do at least 20 minutes of cardio 3-5 times a week
eat mainly vegetables, fruits, and lean proteins.
cut back on starchy carbs like breads, grains, and potatoes.
Sometimes you just need to go back to basics. This knotted tee is only $22 and is a twist (get it? on a basic white tee. We love how it is kind of oversized! We are wearing an XXS for reference. These cutoffs do seem like an investment for ripped shorts, but they are really well made, and they are the perfect baggy fit, but not too baggy! You all know we love these black slip ons! They are a great shoe for all year, are under $60, and super comfy!
PS- head to the bottom of the post for your chance to win $1000!A lot of you all want to know where our favorite affordable place are to shop. If you know us well, you probably know that we don’t like to spend and arm and a leg on pieces, especially trendy ones. Of course, we will treat ourselves to a nice investment piece once in a while like shoes, a bag, or some good jeans, but most of the time, we like to stick to a more budget-friendly range.Our favorite places to shop are:
We love Nordstrom for so many reasons. It is probably the store we shop at at the most. They have tons of cute, affordable pieces, and it is a one-stop-shop for all things clothes, shoes, beauty, accessories, and home. We also love that they offer free shipping and returns, AND their customer service and return policy is amazing!
We have been shopping at Banana Republic for years. They have great jeans for petites, and frequently have sales with up to 40% off. They also have amazing work/business casual pieces that are super adorable and versatile!Amazon:
In case you all haven’t seen, Amazon has a GREAT fashion section now. They sell all of the top brands, and usually their stuff is actually in stock in most sizes, which is great! If you’re an amazon prime member, you can get your items super quick!
We know everyone knows about them, but in case you don’t, or haven’t shopped with them in a while, they do have some really cute things! We hate going into the store, but online, it is way easier to find stuff!
We know that Shein can get a bad rap, and we know that there are some bad reviews written about them. To be honest, we haven’t had any issues with them. It is kind of hit or miss, but we really only share the items we love from them. They do have some great, affordable pieces that are trendy. Who wants to spend a million dollars on something you will only wear once or twice. Also, their shipping does take a while, so sometimes it is worth it to spend the extra money on the expedited shipping.
This is another company from China, but again they have great pieces! Their items are a little more expensive than Shein, but they do have a sale every Tuesday that is up to 50% off. See this post for our roundup of their sale pieces!Express:
To be honest, we had kind of forgotten about Express. It wasn’t until last fall, we stumbled upon it again, and fell in love with all of their pieces! They have super cute dresses, tanks, and sweaters. They also have great dressy/work stuff, too. They are also another store that has sales often, so be on the lookout for those!
Zappos does carry other things besides shoes, but what we love about them is that they have TONS of shoes that are usually not in stock anywhere else, and they offer free shipping and returns. They also have a year return policy, which is amazing!Old Navy:
We have been shopping at Old Navy for years. They have great basics, and we love their workout gear, and their basic tees.
If you love J.Crew, you will love their outlet store. They have all of the same pieces for a lot less, and have sales all of the time! They have great shoes, accessories, and we love their chambray tops. They also have great, solid bright pieces.
Their website can be hard to shop and navigate because they have so many items, but they have some really unique pieces. We love their skirts, dresses, and swimsuits!
We are literally OBSESSED with their jewelry pieces. They have the cutest earrings and statement necklaces, and they are all super affordable! Not to mention, the girls that started it, and the girls that work there are adorable, and SO sweet! They are offering up to 50% off right now, so don’t miss out!
On a sidenote, this tote and duffle bag have been our go-to for traveling, and just everyday stuff!
Happy Friday! We hope you all had a great week, and are ready for a fun weekend! We don’t have a ton of major plans, which is always nice, but I am sure we will find a way to get busy somehow, like always;) We can never just sit still. We are going to be out of town the next few weekends on different trips, so it will be nice to kind of get everything together and in order. We hope you all have a great Easter, to those of you all who celebrate! Speaking of Easter, don’t forget to check the bottom of this post for some great sales taking place! Not going to lie, were not really fans of the mule trend when it first started, but when we saw these embroidered mules, we HAD to have them, and were instantly in love. These are so fun, and we just ordered the studded ones, too. For those of you all who ask, we have had no issues ordering from Romwe. It does take a while to arrive since it comes from China, but they do have great stuff. It is like Forever21 quality, but it is all very affordable, which we love, especially for trendy pieces like these shoes. Some of their stuff is hit or miss, but we only share the stuff we like from them and Shein.

This white v-neck is a staple, and we wear it all of the time. We have it in grey and blue, too, and it is $24! These stretchy jeans are amazing and on SALE through tonight. They fit amazing, and we haven’t stopped wearing them. They are under $80, but 20% off right now on top of that! Also, be sure to check out some GREAT Easter sales taking place this weekend:
We hope it is officially warming up by you all! We have been experiencing 80’s and 90’s here, so we can’t complain. We are definitely warm weather-type-of-girls. This swing dress is just $45 and comes in several colors, and will be coming with us on our upcoming trips at the end of this month. We are so excited to be heading to Austin and Cabo in just a couple of weeks, and will definitely be sure to keep you all posted on what we are packing with us. It will most likely be including some of the pieces we featured in this post! This dress is super comfy (almost like a nightgown feeling), but way more presentable looking, haha. It would make a great dress to travel in, and you could throw on a denim jacket if it gets chillier. We love that this dress has a type of cold shoulder cutout, without being too trendy, if that makes sense?These perforated booties are SO comfy and they have the perfect cutouts on the side. They are super flattering and go with EVERYTHING!We love shopping for spring shoes at Nordstrom. They have the cutest shoes to pick from cute wedges like these to fun flats like these. They usually restock their shoes really quickly and they always offer free shipping and returns, which is basically the only way we online shop;) Shop more spring shoes here!
Happy Friday! We wanted to do a quick post of what we have tried on recently/bought so you all could get them before they sell out! In case you missed the last post we did on this, you can find it here! For reference, we are 5’1″ and about 100lbs, and are wearing the smallest size (usually XXS or XS) in most pieces!
This off shoulder top is SO cute and perfect for spring! We love it with shorts or ripped jeans!You all probably will remember seeing this thermal top more than you probably wanted to, but it is such a GOOD top! Really comfy and fits well in all the right places! PS- it’s on SALE for $40!!
If you’re going to buy any tee, it should be this one! The criss-cross detailing is simple, but adds something to a basic tee, and it is sooo soft!
We actually own this v-neck in green and black, but the white is a staple in any closet, and it’s $17!
We were first drawn to this top because of the gorgeous blue color, but we love the pocket and fit of it as well!
