Dime Find of the Week: Tees in the Trap

What: Tees in the Trap pop culture t-shirtsWhy: A little known secret: I'm a pop culture junky. Well, it's not much of a secret to anyone who knows me and even if you follow me on Twitter, you know I love tweeting my trashy reality TV shows {hello, Catfish and Love and Hip Hop Atlanta!}. So I was stoked when Claire over at Fashion Bomb posted about Tees in the Trap. The affordable t-shirts are a must for any pop culture lover.

Fresh & Fabulous for Spring - Trendy Yellow
It's clear that I'm a fan of Caress® {see my last review here}, so I'm always down to try a new product of theirs. This time it was the Caress® Juicy Escape™ Fresh Collection body wash. Besides the amazing smell of the sun-kissed lily and pink grapefruit body wash, it's actually right on trend with what's happening in fashion.
Wait, exactly how is a body wash on trend with what's on the runway? Here's how.

Thrift Shopping ebook: Got a Question? Let me Know!

If you follow me on social media {Twitter, Facebook or Instagram} then you saw my post yesterday where I casually mentioned I'm writing an ebook on thrift shopping. Yes, I'm literally writing the book on thrifting. After 10+ years of being a hardcore thrifter, it's time I compiled my top tips and tricks that have helped me score designer and vintage threads for less than a dollar.I'm aiming for a summer release {late July!} and it will focus on the A to Z of thrift shopping. Before I finalize everything, I want to hear from you!

Thrifty Threads 365 is a fashion challenge where I will only thrift shop for an entire year. I’ll show you how it’s easy and wallet friendly to satisfy your style needs with secondhand finds. For full details, check the original post here.
Thrifty Threads 365: Maxi Dress and Crop Top ComboThere's something so effortless about a maxi dress. It's a simple one piece, but the floor grazing effect has a regal feel to it. And a maxi is my go-to piece when I'm in a rush, traveling or just don't feel like getting dressed.
I've had this super soft cotton maxi dress for at least five years {purchased from Strawberry for less than $15!} and it's seriously on its last leg, but I can't seem to let it go. To add a different feel to it, I layered a vintage cut off t-shirt over it.
