Sam & Libby Keira Tall Gladiator Sandal with Studded Straps from Target

$27.99 for these awesome Sam & Libby gladiators? Don't mind if I do... 

Seriously. I just bought ALL the colors... and 2 pairs in brown... #hoarder

Everything about them is great, but I wish the black and silver versions weren't made with a shiny material. I much perfect the "satin finish" of the faux leather brown ones. However, I will deal... who knows when I'll need to dress up like a robot and need perfect shiny silver sandals!? Got it f*&^ing covered!

NOTE: I had a buy a half size up.

Loose Fit V-Neck T-Shirts

I have been meaning to purchase American Apparel V-necks for a while, but never got around to it due to the steep price. Dat shit expensive. Recently I was at Target with my mom and picked up a couple of these "Mossimo Supply Co. Juniors Short Sleeve Pocket Vee Tees," also know as the Boyfriend Tee. I got a few in size medium and my mom did too -- though she thought she looked manly in them and hated em. I, on the other hand, was absolutely in love and overjoyed at finally finding the perfect long, cheap, and comfy V-neck. I assure you, ignore how the model looks in them on the website -- that is not how they look on me.

Coming in at a truly Amazonian height of 5'4, tut tut, a size M hits nice and loose at the perfect area of my legs. You know, that special point where the shirt covers up just the right part of my upper thigh and hips to make my legs look long and thin (especially when wearing a heel on the bottom -- naturally I'm opting for suede booties at the moment... I'm a girl obsessed.). It's also that perfect loose fit where I can tuck them into the front of my pant and have a little slouchy, casual action going on. Have I mentioned the best part about these shirts? They are currently $8 dollars. HELLO!

Massimo Mix & Match Bandeau Swim Top

Hello all, welcome to the latest meeting of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee! Thanks for coming out today, I see we have a small crowd... ;) Just kidding, this post is for woman of all bust sizes! It's time to discuss my latest tiny (and from what I've heard, larger) boob rave product, Target's Massimo bandeau swim top. "A whole blog post related to a bandeau top Chelsea?" you ask. Well... YES! As a girl with a bust that begins the alphabet, I've always found bandeau tops to be difficult to wear (and I think this is true for most breast sizes, really). Now, I have been able to find ones tiny enough to fit around my chest without fearing that any splash could send it falling towards my bottoms... BUT in order for them to fit well, I'd have to sacrifice the appearance of my tiny boobs into some sort of squishy, flat, and/or pointed object. I think the real problem is when there is some sort of knot in the middle the pulls the fabric to the center, but I also don't like the look of a sporty block across my chest.

The key is to find a top that looks cute, but also offers a cup shape that doesn't distort (but rather supports and enhances) the shape of natural breasts. I think the key in the design of these ones from Target is that they offer a cute shape that has something going on in the middle, without pulling or shaping the boobs weirdly in the process. They aren't thin, they cover the whole boob -- top to bottom -- (though that's not saying much) and each cup has support on all four corners. Four, secure corners -- I think that's the secret for mitigating pointy boob and allowing for the natural look! These also have removable pads, which are so thin it's like they aren't even there, and come with attachable straps. I prefer to keep the pads in because I like to avoid headlights as much as possible!

I know it might sound strange to analyze the shape of a bandeau top so closely, but when did I ever claim to not be strange! I can't rave enough about how much I love these swim tops, especially given the array of colors (not all pictured). I bought some online (last week) and some in-store (back in March)... in fact, I own 5 different colors -- a purple, black, dark grey, mustard, and a teal. See for yourself tiny and large boobed friends! I honestly feel like this is a universal bandeau for boobs of all sizes. According to review comments on Target's website, this top even works for larger cup sizes -- one 34C woman claimed to play beach volleyball in it with no problems!
