What I’m Wearing
Swimtrunks: ASOS | Tank: ASOS | Flip-flops: Old Navy

Whether you’re headed out for the shore or lounging by the pool, swim trunks are great for all those summer activities. Why? Number one, you are partially naked, and there’s nothing more liberating than that. Second, swim trucks are versatile enough to work with a wide variety of styles. Since I can only speak for myself, I love wearing my swim trunks with a solid color tank top or two. As shown above, I decided to style my striped pool shorts with a yellow, solid color extreme racer-back tank from ASOS. Extreme? Yes, have the seen the straps? They are quite thin. Since it’s so hot outside, I didn’t even notice. So, how do you feel about this particular look? Feel free to share in the comments section below.

Catch you in the sun,

In the first unanimous vote of the season, Dominique Cooper, the 30 year old government engineer became the fourth houseguest evicted from the Big Brother house. Following Cody’s eviciton, Dominique was in hot water after a few allegations were thrown her way. So, how did it all go down? Check out the full summary below.

Head of Household

The Space Cadet’s Head of Household competition picks up right after Cody’s eviction. According to Wikipedia, “Houseguests stood on a small foothold and held on to their handles, trying to stay on the side of the space station.” The last houseguest standing wins! Alex and Elena were the last houseguests standing, and a few deals were exchanged. For protection, Alex agreed to keep Elena and her people safe this week. Elena dropped, and Alex won HoH!

Nominations

Since last week, Paul and Alex have been building this good old friendship. That being said, Alex winning HoH was a win for Paul as well. Rather than targeting Jessica, who is alone in the game, Alex, Jason, and Paul decided to take a stab at the other side of the house. Dominique and Mark’s names have been floating around since Cody threw them under the bus on his way out. So, it came to no surprise that Paul wanted them out.

So, remember that deal between Elena and Alex during the HoH competition? Dominique and Mark were included on Elena’s “safe” list. At the nomination ceremony, Alex broke her deal with Elena and nominated Dominique and Jessica for eviction. Dominique felt completely betrayed by her former alliance, while Jessica saw her nomination coming from a mile away.

Power of Veto Competition

Alex, Dominique, Jessica, Kevin, Christmas, and Jason, participated in the Temple of Temptation Power of Veto competition. According to Wikipedia, “Houseguests must walk across their suspended beam and hit their statue. They must then return and hit their button again. Each time they hit their button, they will earn a point. If they fall in the lava, however, their counter will reset to zero. However, the houseguests were also offered a temptation. The first houseguest to hit their special button will earn a money prize, but they will eliminate themselves from the competition. The first houseguest to get fifty points will win the Power of Veto.” Jason wins!

Power of Veto Ceremony

As Jessica rebuilds her lost relationships, Dominique seeks justice to clear her name. After receiving a message from God himself, Dominique identifies Paul as the “snake.” Her holy revelation is followed by a heated exchange of words with Paul during a house meeting. To make things worse, Jason decided not to use the Power of Veto, leaving Dominique and Jessica remaining on the block.

Right before the live eviction, Jessica was offered the Halting Hex temptation.  Once accepted, she can use the power to cancel any of the next four evictions. Knowing that the votes were stacked against Dominique, Jessica decided against using the power this week. The eviction continued as normal.

In a ten to zero vote, Dominique Cooper was evicted on day thrity. After her eviction interview, Julie had good news for our latest evictee. Similar to last season, the Big Brother Battle Back has returned. The first four evicted houseguests will compete head to head for a chance to come back in the game. Exciting, right? Be on the look out for the next Big Brother post this week.

Thanks,

What I’m Wearing
Shirt: Goodwill | Pants: H&M | Sandals: DSW

Today, I decided to dress up my newly thrifted, Hawaiian shirt. If you recall in my previous OOTW post, tropical prints are best worn with with solid colors. Remember, there’s no need to throw off your entire look with another print or statement piece. Here, I decided to style my shirt with these fun tuxedo joggers from H&M. Tuxedo joggers? Similar to fitted sweatpants, these pants are equipped with an elastic ankle and pleated front. The pleated front adds for a nice touch. For a little contrast, I decided to slide in my favorite woven, leather sandals from DSW. Looking good, right? So, how do you feel about this particular look, feel free to share in the comments section below. Thanks for reading!

See you tomorrow,

OOTD: November 2016
Outfit of the Week
Shirt: Macys |Pants: Trouva | Sandals: ETSY

Sorry, I’ve been slacking on the weekly #OOTW posts. You know, life happens. So, I’m back to show off another summer inspired look. Today, I styled a tropical print button-up with a pair of olive chinos. When it comes to prints, don’t limit yourself to one specific color. You can mix and match your blues, yellows, and reds together for a finished look. Continuing with this theme, I paired them with these handmade, Roman Grecian leather sandals. Fellas, if you are wearing the sandals this summer, make sure you have those toes done. So, how do you feel about this particular look? Feel free to share in the comments section below!

See ya,
