IS ANYBODY OUT THEEEEERE?

 Hi, Savile Blogsphere! WOW. Who else can say they still have access to the fashion blog they started when they were 11??? I guess I can! It's Tari, Tariro to some, and I'm back in action! I turn 25 in two days, and I've had the itch to just start blogging again and see what happens. I'm excited to once again share my love of fashion through a blog, and I can't wait to scroll through this blog for the wonderful memories as well.

If you're reading this, I hope you're doing well and I'll catch you on my new blog - Styled to Meet You!

A New Home.

Hi everyone! Guess who's back? ME! And I'm back with a new blog as well! I decided to have a fresh start, and I started my new blog Peppermint + Ivy. You can click here to go there, and check it out! Hopefully you follow me there too, i'd love it if you did!

I will definitely miss blogging on Savile, but hey! New beginnings arent always so bad! Thank you all!<3

Bittersweet

First off, id like to thank all the people who have been reading my blog loyally. Id like to thank all my followers, facebook fans, blog friends, and everyone who comments or just scrolls through my blog. You guys have made writing Savile one of the biggest joys of my short-lived life, and I could never repay you fully for that. To all the lovely people who've given me the greatest chances, thank you so much.

Recently, blogging has taken a turn to a few bad events. Ive begun to get stressed out with achieving ideas, and trying to keep up a certain level of posting. Thats resulted in late nights, lots of ink & paper, and a very grumpy me running around the house.
Today marked probably the worst part of it, and due to an issue, I had to take down my last post.

So, I have decided to take a nice long break from blogging. I truly don't know how long my break will be, but I know that I have spent so much time on the computer and stressing about the blog, and not enough time on the outside enjoying my summer, and just my life in general. And with fall coming and school starting, I need to be ready to work hard, have a clear mind, and be able to balance everything together.

I may be gone for a month, or even three, but just know that my blog will stay on my mind. This isn't a goodbye, but really just a see you all later, & don't you forget about me.

I hope everyone has an amazing rest of the summer, and I really will miss you all. Tears were shed in the process of this thinking, but I know its for the best.

Summer Glitter Guide: Skirts

     Lots of people in the world are obsessed with glitter, shimmer, & sparkles. I happen to be one of them! And especially in the summertime, I love adding that extra sparkle to my outfits!

     One thing that glitters that I absolutely love are sequin skirts! I think they're absolutely gorgeous, and I fall for one every time I see it! I have yet to buy one for myself sadly, but Ive got my eye on one from J. Crew! They've really upped their shine attire!  I styled a few outfits with two lovely glitter skirts, inspired by summer. Enjoy!

Daytime:

For the daytime, I think its a good idea to have a semi-low key look, instead of just packing on the shiny stuff! So, I paired a gorgeous J. Crew sequin skirt with an Abercrombie & Fitch denim shirt, some metallic flats, and a neutral/nude Chanel bag. Throw on some shades, and you're ready to hit the streets looking good with a little attention from the sun! Lastly, I added gold nail polish, to really set off the skirt, and also add a little more fun. 

Nighttime: 

Of course, this time of day is when you really wanna show off! Ive always loved this long J. Crew sequin maxi skirt, and I love its blue color! I paired it with a really pretty navy blue bustier from Nina Ricci, velvet black platform heels, and a white handbag. To top it off, I added a gorgeous silver-shimmer nail polish. I think this look is a fantastic way to look fancy, with a little simplicity on the side.

Armie Hammer for GQ

     From the moment I saw Armie Hammer's gorgeous face, I was in awe. That was added onto me being in awe of his acting skills, playing 2 twins......at once. Then, he appeared in a GQ spread, and all hell broke loose. Simple yet perfect styling, amazing clothes, & just an overall insanely great editorial! Enjoy!

Waves To Be Ridden & Boys To Be Kissed

     There's nothing sweeter than a little beachside romance, some surfing, & thats exactly what we see in this video showcasing Pret-a-Surf's 10/11 Resort line. I actually found this video on tumblr, and I absolutely loved it instantly! Its so adorable, and you cant forget the gorgeous swimwear!
I wish that when I had/have surf adventures in Ocean City with my cousins, that I'd look as cool and stylish doing so.

DIY: The Endless Summer

     So this summer, ive really just been stuck at home bored for most days. Until last night, when I got a BRILLIANT idea! Why not cut up some old jeans (they still fit, but were too short), and make then into shorts! And while i'm at it, why not give them a SPARK? I went through a time when I was in LOVE with sewing, I made little pillows and things like that. Id always watched my mom doing it, so she taught me and I picked it up. Now, I think my love for it is coming BACK!
     Thats when I grabbed a pair of scissors, a pair of jeans past their prime, and sat down to work. My eyes slowly wandered over to my desk, trying to see what else I could add onto the jeans. They drifted onto golden ribbon, and then to the GORGEOUS fabric that had come with my Kiel James Patrick purchase packaging. So, I got to work! Ladies and gentlemen, here are the shorts dedicated to my endless summer. Beautiful colors, pretty ribbon, and pretty wash. Enjoy!

(A little inside peak into the process)

  

  

  

If I had more fabric, I definitely wouldve gone around and lined the back too! But oh well, Im really pleased with how the shorts turned out! This was my first time cutting jeans into shorts, and also my first time adding anything onto them.Ive done other sewing projects, but this was my first like this.

So what do you guys think? I worked REALLY hard on them, and I really am happy with the end result! I did them ALL my hand, sewing and cutting etc. In all, they took about 3 hours, with a little break time. Thanks to the lovely people at KJP for supplying your customers with pretty packaging that enlightens creativity!

Pretty Little Suit Girl

     Recently, my mom and I sauntered into Macys in search of a dress for an event she and my dad were going to attend. Usually, I just walk around in the Teen Department, drool over the shoes, and sniff the perfumes. But this time, I walked around with her and helped her look, and I ended up wandering to where the fancy stuff was. Thats when I discovered a new love of mine. S-U-I-T-S. Pant suits, skirt suits, dress suits, short suits. All suits! No, NOT the usual black or brown. The ones I saw were BEAUTIFUL. Pinks and teals and yellows and peaches! Gorgeous patterns, perfect cuts, playful looks! I made a little connection to Elle Woods too! Suits had never looked so fun, and I wondered why Id never looked at them before! I was a little overwhelmed by it all, but now I can say I truly love fun suits! Colorfull ones! Because when I THINK about going to work, to a meeting, or somewhere in a REALLY pretty pink ensemble, work doesnt sound too bad to me! Besides, there's nothing wrong with having a little fun while growing up!

So lovely readers, in this post I'll share with you some of the types of suits I saw! Enjoy, and leave a comment if you please!

   First up are the girly suits. I think we all recognize the world's favorite lawyer Elle Woods, and her pretty pink dress or skit suits! I love the little hat that she wore with it too! I saw some absolutely gorgeous girly suits, which came in different shades of pretty colors! Pinks, blues, teals. I really liked them! The all-pink suits were my favorite! I saw mostly tweed versions, and they were just REALLY lovely! I really love the idea of pairing these suits with flats, but pumps could work too!

   Next, I saw a few abstract suits too! There wasnt an exact word in mind for them, so I came up with abstract! With semi-long jackets, and then pencil skirts or dress pants. I think they're kinda heavy, so they'd be something to wear more in the winter time. With that said, I still saw a few with regular length suit jackets! Cant go wrong with a gorgeous black&gray&white color block jacket with triangle buttons! I thought of platform heels when I saw these suits.

    I REALLY loved the classic suits! The ones I saw the most were plaid or navy or red, and they were gorgeous! Very soft jackets, gorgeous round buttons, just SIMPLICITY at its best! I think they're suits for when you WANT to make a statement, but you KNOW you may have to tone it down. I really liked the plaid ones best, with black skirts or black dress pants. I would LOVE to see classic suits paired with loafers! But I guess it depends on the look as a whole, but I DID see some loafer-style heels!

     Last but not least, I saw really pretty PLAYFUL suits too! Gorgeous ruffle elements, paired with a simple skirt, or knee length shorts/pants. I think these are DEFINITELY more my style, but I really loved them best in color! I saw tons in teal, blue, and orange! Sincle ruffles are REALLY much more fun, I think pairing these suits with fun shoes would work very well! Kick boring out, keep fun in!

I absolutely LOVED seeing all the suits, and even though i have a few years to go, they definitely sparked a new though about office style in my head!

Home Is Where The Heart Is

Recently, ive begun to get REALLY into home decor and just interior design in general! So here's a post showing two interior designs ive come up with and put together, and the inspiration behind them! It'd be SO awesome if I went into interior design, and I definitely would love it! Enjoy!

    For this one, I decided to create a bedroom. I think I really wanted to go for a rustic-ish and urban look, yet still retain some very soft qualities! I really love the simplicity of the bed, the cool designs on the chair, and the pattern of the cushion! I think those three and the light letter E really inspired the whole design all together. And also the Iron Z, which is a table accent. Oh and, I absolutely love the iron coffee table! How cool is that?! The street lamp may be for outside your house, but I think it'd be lovely to put it inside! 1 on each side of the bed, that would definitely be nice! Id like to this this room would be in an amazing apartment somewhere in SoHo.

    I absolutely LOVE beach houses, adding onto the fact that I LOVE the beach and the ocean! For the second house, I also styled a bedroom but most of the elements COULD/WOULD be taken over into other rooms as well. I think the main reason I did bedrooms for both was because I would LOVE to re-do my room, and if I ever get to it, I want something to look at for more inspiration! I really would LIKE a room thats beachy-breezy but still really classic and cool. This room is definitely a little breath of fresh air, because the COLOR SCHEME is mostly vibrant! There's yellows, there's blues, there's teals, and creams! Its all in there! I definitely drew some inspiration from the beach and the ocean, which is why I went for white/cream furniture and then bright/pretty colors to accent that. Even though I tried to focus more on the beach scene, I DID want a little artsy-ness in there, hence the pretty chandeliers and the gorgeous pillow! Id like to think this room would be in a gorgeous beach house in Huntington Beach.


I hope you guys liked this post! It was SO much fun for me to do! One of my favorite home decor blogs is called Sacramento Street, so ya'll should check it out! Which room did you like best from above?

Its Never Too Early

Hi everyone! So basically my main goal this summer to post up lots of outfit posts, and im glad to say that im definitely keeping up with that! Today I wanted to wear something simple, yet cute, but definitely breezy. Im wearing my favorite bleached shorts, and some really cute VS flats ive had for a little while. They're so playful, and so cute! Definitely a little Cinderella-ish. Enjoy!

Band of Outsiders

One thing that I've never lost throughout blogging and aging (i'm hitting the big ones) is my LOVE and ADORATION for Free People! For some reason, their catalogs randomly stopped getting delivered to my house....... of course i re-signed up my address, but going through a Free People-less period for me was basically going through a time without my main source of inspiration.


Free People's catalogs always have these beautiful ensembles, and they come out perfectly! Its this effortless cool, and I think really thats a lot of people's biggest fashion goal. To become cool, without looking like you're trying too hard. So here are a few images from some of their recent catalogs, and I hope they inspire you too! (Just you watch, i'll be working for them one day!)

Fishin' For Love!

A while back, my mom came home and told me she had a present for me from one of her work friends. Ofcourse I was ECSTATIC, until she opened the bag..........it wasnt EXACTLY what I expected, but I took it graciously and shoved it into my drawers and its been there for a few months.
After a while, I warmed up to the gift. Its a gorgeous jean jacket vest, with amazing art on the front and back! Ms. Suzie, thank you so much! Today, I was looking for something to wear and I stumbled upon it. I immediately put it on, and thought hmmmm maybe I was a little wrong before! It may be a little out there, but I just love it and its super cool! So here's an outfit post for ya.

Be sure to check out her store Priscilla Creations!

Cheetah Print Days!

Cheetah print isnt only for shoes or clothes, or even for Cheetahs themselves! ITS ALSO FOR NAILS! So Im sitting around at home feeling bored, when I decide to do a little bit of creative working. The product? Watermelon-Inspired-Sorta Cheetah Print nails! I LOVE THEM! I did them a few times during the school year, but I think they're PERFECT for summer! Showin' off the wild side! Enjoy! & if you guys would like it, I could put up a tutorial for how to do them! I hope the pictures are clear enough, I was worried they wouldnt be. Toothpicks and Patience result in fun! I painted a base coat, then did random dots in 2 greens, then outlines them using a toothpick and a dark polish.

Falling Into Ease: List #1

Whenever im blogging or making Polyvore sets, or even just surfing the web I always come across lots of really nice things! May they be home decor, clothes, books, music, lots & lots & lots!

So, I decided to show you guys a few things I discovered over the past week that I really wanted to share! They made me say OOOO AAAA WOOWWWW I WANT!  Enjoy!

1. Printed/Nautical Scarves: I really really love them! They have such a classic feel to them, yet the print makes them really bold!
2. Bandeau Tops: I sadly havent gotten around to wearing any, but I like bandeau tops a lot! I have so many ideas on how to wear them, and as soon as I hit up Forever 21, i'll show them off! I think if theyre worn the right way, they can be really fashionable!
3. Carissa Black: One of my favorite stores of all times is Carissa Black, because I love their products! They have really cool printed bags, coin purses, and makeup bags! Its just a whole collection of fresh and beautiful accessories!
4. Patterned Woven Flats: The moment I saw these flats, I fell in love! The tribal print is absolutely gorgeous, and I really like the subtle blue and white colors!
5. Runway Dreamz: The shorts from Runway Dreamz are absolutely amazing! They're fun, stylish, and really creative! They are definitely the shorts of summer, and you MIGHT be seeing a DIY SOON ;)
6. Clocks // Coldplay & Chicago // Sufjan Stevens: I recently heard a mash-up of these two songs, and I fell in LOVE with them!  Wait.....thats an understatement. They've been on replay on my ipod for the past 4 days! Sadly, I couldnt find the mashup on itunes, but I have no issues with them seperately! They're both fantastic songs.
7. Nautical Stripes: Im still obsessed with nautical stripes! I went into American Appareal yesterday (Window shopping love!), and I was in stripe HEAVEN! I saw bags, I saw shirts, I saw shorts! The whole shabbang! Thats become basically half my dream closet!

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed my little week list! Cause I know I had fun putting it together!

A Little Arm Candy

Hey everyone, here's a little post. So in my last post, I talked a bit about stacking and how much I really loved it! WELL, today I wore a little bit of arm candy(jokes), and thought im NOT sure if its stacking or just me wearing something on my wrist, I decided to show you guys what graced my arm, and what I held onto. I wore basics today, not much just a tank top, shorts, and flipflops.
I feel like my KJP bracelet never gets the credit/love it deserves! Im always running around wearing it, but its missing in pictures on the blog. Bracelet, this one's for you! I absolutely love it, though its a little big for my wrist, its one of my favorites.

Colorblocking & Stacking

Snaps for a creative title! Lol. But this post is for TWO trends I may have missed out on blogging about! Colorblocking and Stacking! Now, colorblocking I think we could get. But stacking? Some of you may wonder. Stacking is wearing arm candy on your wrist and looking AMAZING while doing so! No, not arm candy as in hot-male-model. Arm candy as in pretty bracelets, bulky ropes, etc. Whatever floats boats! Enjoy this post! Its my little breath of fresh air.

(Images of stacks are from Style Scrapbook)


I absolutely LOVE stacks! I did a few of my own with bracelets and watches and such, and I really have NO idea why I didnt post them up! Shame shame. But basically, I love BRIGHT and BOLD stacks! Ones that pop. Now, people have DIFFERENT versions of their own! For me, I figure there's 3 steps to making the perfect stack. Step 1: A few bangles or chain bracelets. For a classy touch, ya know? Step 2: Friendship bracelets! I LOVE FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS! They define a whole year of bff-ism, and theyre absolutely cute! For the classy stack, you can just wear a simple ALL BLACK bracelet. Or non at all.... Step 3: A watch. I usually go for a colorful watch, depending on the day. If you want a classier stack, then you can just wear a GOLD or SILVER watch. And THAT, my friends is the trend I MIGHT have missed.



I guess some people might not know what colorblocking is, which is ABSOLUTELY fine. Well, colorblocking is wearing an outfit pieced together with ITEMS OF SOLID COLORS. They may COMPLIMENT each other, or they may CLASH! Either way, its an AMAZING trend! The colors dont really HAVE to be neon or any color, but I really love those colors BEST! I think its an awesome trend! I usually think of sticking to 3 colors in worry of BLINDING someone, lol but you can do anything! Makes you pop out of the crowd, and DEFINITELY something you could wear out and show your FUN side! I definitely want to keep it alive for summer! There is NO rest in my styling this summer!

I hope you guys enjoyed this little post on two trends! I have a REALLY great post coming up, but its a surprise so im not telling! ;)

xoxo

Bittersweet Symphony

Its day number........ehhh forget it. I think its day number 5, but im not sure. Either way, my summer's in the dumps already :(
Ive been trying to do product things, I really have. But I feel like ive been failing. I need to do something to change my perspectives. Something to change how I feel about a bajillion things. Just something I guess. Oooo and I REALLY wanna go boating! That would be the best.

Adding onto that is how bored I am. 14 year old girl + boredom + summer = I want school back so bad right now. I wanted this summer to be FUN! I wanted to go to the beach a million times, to play TONS of lacrosse, and to hang out with friends! But from these few days, I feel like thats not gonna happen. Ahhhhh. Well, atleast I get to go to the beach for the 4th of July! But thats so far away.......I need an idea that will REVOLUTIONIZE my summer! Ill start writing some down......maybe things can change!
