Asymmetrical

 Body Suit American Apparel, Skirt Forever21, Heels Proenza Schouler, Purse Stella McCartney, Necklace LYLIF, Lipstick Revlon "Plum"

 I don't know about all of you, but I am definitely smitten with all of the asymmetrical (or high-low as some say) skirts everywhere. I picked up this polka dot one from Forever21 the other day and have already been planning/creating many outfits with it. I can't believe I already have midterms next week! I guess time really does fly by.

Simple Pairings

Leather Jacket Kenna T (old from Nordstrom, similar style here), Top J. Crew, Skirt Belt & Tights Forever21, Pumps Zara, Purse Tory Burch, Sunnies Elizabeth and James

Starting my week off with a simple outfit. I feel like this is my go-to look: skirt, tights, button up and blazer or jacket. It works for both my internship and school so I don't have to worry about changing.

Comfy Casual

Top Michael Stars, Vest Free People (old), Jeans J Brand, Booties Asos, Beanie Forever21, Purse Tory Burch, Necklace Madewell, Bracelets Bfrend, Oia Jules, Stella & Dot, Watch Michael Kors

This week went by very slow and I'm glad the weekend is here. The gloomy weather has me wanting to stay in bed all day and cuddle up with some hot chai tea. I've been wearing much more casual outfits lately filled with jeans and knits. I know some of you were asking me what my more causal outfit looks are, so I hope the last few posts were helpful. 
If you follow me on Twitter, then you probably saw my post about getting my hair done next week! I'm getting rid of the ombre and I'm not sure what I'm going to do next. I want something natural and simple. I just really don't want a hair color that is "too trendy" for our wedding like ombre. 
Happy Weekend!

Laid Back Knits

 Top Zara, Blazer Vince (old, but really loving this one), Vest TJ Maxx, Jeans c/o Big Star Jeans USA, Pumps Zara, Bag Stella McCartney, Belt Forever21, Beanie My Fiancés, Bracelet c/o Oia Jules, Sunnies Elizabeth and James

I can't seem to get enough pops of neon right now. Everything on my Spring/Summer wish list (that is already growing quite extensively) is brightly colored and a little loud. In the meantime though, I am trying to incorporate lots of color into my winter wardrobe to keep it cheerful while it's so gloomy out.

Double Braid Tutorial




Hey Gals!
If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter then you probably saw me post this hair style 
on Monday. I received a lot of feedback asking for me to create a video tutorial, so I did! 
I got the inspiration for this hairdo from a picture I found on pinterest. 
I couldn't see the back so I just added a bun.
Hope you like it!

DailyBuzz Style 9x9 Challenge

Hey Gals!
I am participating in the DailyBuzz Style 9x9 "Day to Night" Makeup Challenge. We were asked to create two looks: one for the day time and one for the evening. I thought I would create a look that is versatile and only requires a mere minutes to transition into an "night look". Who wants to spend hours getting ready to go out?! Not I. 
Below are all of the steps broken down to create the two looks. I also included all of the product names for those of you interested. 
Products used in "Day Look"
Makeup:
Steps for foundation/setting skin
-Revlon "Color Stay" (in light/medium) under eyes and on blemishes
-Benefit "Boi-ing" dabbed under eyes, to brighten
-Bare Minerals powder to set skin
-Apply a thin line of liquid eyeliner on top lid and extend slightly past lashes (used: Sephora liquid eyeliner in black)
-Apply two coats of mascara (used: CoverGirl lash perfection in black)
-Apply highlighter on cheek and brow bone (used: Benefit High Beam)
-Rub in product to give a soft glow to skin
-Apply bronzer to cheek bones and forehead (used: Chanel bronzer in Terre Ambre)
-Apply clear/nude lipgloss (used: Giorgio Armani)
 Finished "Day Look"
Products used for "Night Look"
These steps are added onto the "Day Look" to transition it into a "Night Look" within minutes!
-Apply a slightly smokey shade of grey to eyelid (used: Dior "Couture Golds" palette)
-Apply a thin line of eyeliner on bottom lashes (used: L'oreal Paris pencil eyeliner in dark brown)
-Add a deep shade of lipstick (used: Revlon "Plum")
Finished "Night Look"

Chain Details


Blazer c/o Queen's Wardrobe, Sweater H&M (similar style here), Skirt Zara (similar style here), Tights Forever21, Booties Modern Vintage, Clutch c/o LYLIF

This blazer is great because it has enough bling to not have to wear any jewelry. I put together a more "work appropriate" look because I wore this to my internship, but I can't wait to create an edgy-er look with it. Thank goodness the weekend has finally come!

Chunky Knits

Knit Sweater c/o Queen's Wardrobe, Pants 7 For All Mankind, Heels Proenza Schouler (on sale from Zappos Couture), Purse Stella McCartney, Necklaces c/o LYLIF and Spike the Punch

I jazzed up my new chunky knit with some fun baubles and strappy heels. The key to wearing an over-sized chunky sweater is to wear something slimming on the bottom half. It gives a nice relaxed look instead of looking like you are wearing clothes that are too big for you :)
