White Pants After Labor Day

Friday, February 19, 2016






White American Eagle jeans // Soda booties with tassel zipper // Oatmeal sweater (yes it's from Walmart and less than 10 dollars!) // Target satchel

I know, I break so many fashion "rules" on a day-to-day basis like, pairing navy and black, and gold and silver, but I personally like both of those pairings and I also love white pants in any season. They look perfect with so many outfit combinations! These American Eagle ones are insanely comfortable, too.
In the background, you can slightly see my college campus in the background because what's better than taking your best friend to see your college campus?! Such a great day filled with taking her on a tour, coffee, and Chipotle afterwards. You can still see the piles of snow in the background from Tuesday's snow storm. I'm so over winter and ready for spring! These white pants make it seem like spring is close.
I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

My Favorite Bloggers

Wednesday, February 10, 2016

Do you need a good blog to read, inspiration of what to post, want to know where I get my inspiration from, or need some outfit inspiration?

Blogging is always about inspiration. There are a few blogs I absolutely love and I'm always checking for inspiration for outfits or even posts. Deciding to make a blog didn't just magically pop into my head one day. First. I had followed a few bloggers on Instagram. The more posts they had made, the more I wanted needed to make a blog. Blogging is a way of expressing yourself and I needed that sort of creative way to do so. These are a few bloggers who I had followed for months before committing to making this blog!

My Must Haves For Spring

Tuesday, February 9, 2016

Pink Levi's ($32) // Saddle purse (similar to this $1,000 dollar purse, but this one is only $25!) // Baublebar earrings ($34) // Chinese Laundry nude lace up flats ($60) similar and cheaper pair, here ($15)

I learned how to make this product collage from, Southern Pearls & Curls. You can find the post, here! It's so helpful!
I'm loving the color of these nude lace up flats. If you're wondering whether to buy the ones from Wetseal; they're great! I own the black pair (I'm sure you've seen the several Instagram and my blog post about them) and I want to wear them everyday. They're comfy and cute at a great price. The perfect combo! The nude color is definitely on my "to buy list" because I just can't seem to get enough of these lace up flats. Also, I'm in love with these pink pants and those statement earrings. I need them for myself! Such cute spring staples.
This saddle purse is so cute and has really grown on me. I had noticed a lot of bloggers posting about this Chloe leather purse, but I can't imagine spending 1,000 dollars on one purse. Then, I came across this one from Target for less than 30 and I couldn't believe the resemblance! If you wanted a saddle purse, but didn't like the purse, that one is for you!
 I hope you all enjoyed my list of must haves and felt the same way as I did about some of these things. Have a great rest of your day, everyone!

Monday Blues

Monday, February 8, 2016






Ralph Lauren cable knit sweater (courtesy of my boyfriend) // J Crew button down // White purse (so cute and under 40!) // Last season's Abercrombie jeans, but these are the same fit // I can't find my navy Sperry's, but there's a similar pair here // L'oreal matte liquid lipstick (I'm wearing Blushing Ambition!)

I love this purse from Target! I picked it up when I went there last weekend and I'm so happy I ended up buying it (I'm so indecisive about everything). If you want a purse with a cross body strap, not too small, and you don't want to spend money on this Tory Burch purse (a little similar, right?), this one is for you! I love it!
 It was probably a little soon to break out the Sperry's since as soon as I got to the place I take my pictures at, it started snowing, but that's fine. It was worth it to make it sort of feel like spring.
I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of their Monday!

Black Lace Up Flats

Friday, February 5, 2016






American Eagle 3/4 sleeve sweater // Rue 21 plaid blanket scarf // L'oreal matte liquid lipstick in Blushing Ambition // Abercrombie jeans // Black lace up flats (only 15 dollars!!)

I keep wearing these flats because I love them so much! I had been wanting a pair and when I saw them for only 15, I had to go ahead and buy them! They're perfect to dress up with a skirt or dress down with a pair of jeans. If you follow me on Instagram, then you've seen my few overload of posts on these shoes (sorry), but I can't help it! 
Hoping everyone's weekend is wonderful!
Xoxo,
