A break from regular programming...

Hi everyone! Sorry for my absence, but there's a lot going on around these parts! Friday (the 13th, ooo) was my last day of work at my current job. I can't tell you what a relief it's been these last few days to actually have some free time to do whatever my heart desires! I've spent it doing double work outs and running last minute errands for my big summer trip. 

Thats right, it's vacation time - this evening actually! A friend and I are leaving tonight for an 11 day tour all around Ireland, after which I'll be flying straight to Greece to spend the rest of August with family on the little island of Skyros. So it'll be pretty quiet around here, though I'll try to pop in every so often for an outfit post (I mean, I will have a very picturesque location...). Follow me on Instagram @arianaeleni to keep up with my adventures!

As a parting gift, I'll leave you with another promo code especially for you guys from my friends over at eShakti - use FA26NAS for 10% off your order! This code expires July 31st, so get it while you can!

Hope you all have a wonderful summer, and behave ;)

One dress, two ways

Dress: Dorothy Perkins. Tank top: H&M. Sunnies: Target. Gold Necklace: Rachel Roy via Syms.

I finally got this gorgeous maxi from Dorothy Perkins tailored after owning it for over a year and only ever wearing it as a skirt. I was so excited to finally be able to wear the dress on it's own (something I was never able to do before I got it tweaked), and my sorority sister's outdoor, lake-side wedding this past weekend proved to be the most perfect occasion for a bright maxi and bold accessories! Cheers to the new Mr. and Mrs!

Summer days, summer nights.

Day: Tee: Target, Shorts: DIY, Scarf: Kohl's, Sandals: Payless, Sunnies: Target. Night: Dress, H&M, Belt: Misc, Necklace: Borrowed, Sandals (same).

Days at the beach and nights out on the town call for outfits that are easy, cute, and most of all, cool! Shorts and a tee are foolproof, but don't forget a lightweight scarf in case of overactive air-conditioning. For night, there's nothing so easy as a cotton LBD and fun accessories.

Sunny days ahead...

Ahh, summer. Time to lay on the beach, get some rays, and above all, rest and relaxation.

That's all good and well, but for me, there's nothing less relaxing than being on a beach in a bathing suit that doesn't fit and flatter, especially in the chesticular area, ifyaknowwhaddimsayin'! As a big-busted girl, there is simply no greater sartorial challenge (in my book at least) than swimwear. It's hard, nay, close to impossible to find bathing suits that support a larger than average chest - unless you know where to look!

I rounded up a few of my favorite suits from brands Freya, Panache, and Fantasie. They all go up to at least a G cup, and some up to a J! For the record, I bought the black belted Freya one-piece in a 34GG and the fit is just fantastic. I've never felt so supported in a swimsuit ever.  That's because it, and all of the suits below, has a full bra inside the suit -  underwire, hook and eye closures and all! I can't wait to buy another one, I'm torn between the black and white tankini from Fantasie or the zig-zaggy tankini from Freya! (edit: I went with the Freya!)

Have you tried swimwear from any of these brands? Or do you know of another brand that carries bra-sized swimwear? Do tell!

Eye-searing.

 

Get the look: Cardigan: Old Navy. Tank: H&M (similar). Skinnies: Old Navy. Scarf: Kohl's (similar). Wedges: Steve Madden via DSW. Sunnies: Kate Spade. Watch: Michael Kors.

The colors, Duke, the colors!!!

Remember that old popsicle commercial? No? Oh well.

Yesterday was Everybody, Everwear's neon day, so how perfectly appropriate is this outfit I wore out for dinner and drinks in Hoboken on Saturday? This scarf, which I picked up on a whim at Kohl's, has quickly become my favorite and is practically a staple in my wardrobe at the moment. I'm wearing it right now in fact -  it goes with everything! For those nights when I'm not in the mood to go out in a dress or anything all that revealing, an outfit like this is my go to - A few pops of color, an interesting tank, and a cute heel amp up the funk factor for a basic outfit that looks just as appropriate at the bar as it does at the office (yup, recycled this outfit on Monday!).

Beth S.! 

Congrats Beth, and keep an eye on your inbox for an email from me ;D

 

 Dress: C/o eShakti. Shoes: Bandolino. Cuff: Syms. Earrings: Borrowed

 I'm not sure which piece from eShakti Beth will choose, but if she needs a bit of inspiration, I wore the gorgeous Keyhole Front Eyelet Dress to a bridal shower this past weekend. I can't tell you how many compliments I got on it! I love the lady-like tea length and fit and flare silhouette, but my favorite part is the sassy keyhole front. Love! If you're between sizes, I recommend sizing down, the smocking in the back will stretch to accommodate your waist :)

With the beautiful bride-to-be :)
