Feeling Blue

Blouse Madewell (love this similar style & color), Pants Zara, Heels YSL (scored on Ebay), Clutch Zara, Sunnies Elizabeth & James, Lipstick Revlon "Really Red"

These pants are the epitome of comfy.
I could quite possibly wear them everyday.
P.S. My hair is confused as to which color it wants to be. Red? Blonde? Brown?
A little bit of all three?
I'll let it continue to fade out and see...

In the Sun

Blazer H&M, Top Zara, Jeans Quicksilver, Belt UO, Bag Tory Burch, Sunnies Ray Ban, Oxfords Zara, Necklace c/o Jennifer Zeuner

Lately I have been so busy which has resulted in more practical outfits for running around in. I told you guys that these oxfords get a lot of attention in my wardrobe! They have been seen in at least my last three posts. 

I'm really hoping the rain stops. Nothing sounds more amazing than taking a nap in the sun and possibly having a pick-nick this weekend. Who's in?

P.S. Do you like my necklace? It's the Gold Initial Pendant by Jennifer Zeuner AND I might or might not be giving one away on Monday- Stay tuned ;)

Date Night

T-shirt c/o Stylemint, Maxi Skirt Forever21, Necklaces c/o Spike the Punch & Jennifer Zeuner, Sunnies Forever21, Oxfords Zara, Bag Rebecca Minkoff

Thomas and I had a date night at the movies Friday night and this is what I wore. Of course, like every other person, we saw The Hunger Games. I am a huge fan of the books (I read all three in four days!) and was so excited for the movie to come out. I probably watched the trailer 100+ times. And I got chills every time. I thought the movie was good, it's just hard to compare it to the books...because the books are waaay better. There is so much background and detail you can explain in a book, while everything is visual in a movie. I was explaining a lot of things to Thomas that they left out of the movie. Overall it was a great evening. It's hard to get time with that boy as he is crazy busy with baseball and grad school- he's gone most weekends. But I sure do love him xxxooo

Mad Men Inspiration

Dress c/o Queen's Wardrobe, Lipstick Revlon "Really Red"

Mad Men is one of my favorite shows on TV. I decided to get dressed up in a 60's vibe dress and throw on some winged eyeliner and red lipstick to celebrate the 5th season today. I have to admit, one of the main reasons why I watch the show is because everybody is always impeccably dressed and so stylish. I also feel inspired to go extra feminine-glam when I watch it!

American Girl

Blazer J. Crew, T-shirt Urban Outfitters (old), Jeans 7FAM, Purse Rebecca Minkoff, Oxfords Zara, Watch Michael Kors

Gloomy sky + class all day= This. 

These oxfords were an impulse purchase (I accidentally forgot flats one time when Thomas and I were in SF) and I'm quite surprised how much use I have gotten out of them. I think they are still on sale on their site here & only $49!

I'm really looking forward to this weekend for a few reasons:

1) Catch up on sleep

2) No dance

3) Watch Thomas play baseball against Brown

4) Sleep more

How To- Clipless Curling Iron

I finally tried out my first clipless curling iron a few weeks ago and I must admit- I'm hooked!
It creates loose beachy waves that look really natural. It's a lot easier to use than it looks and
much faster! (I have thick hair, so the faster the better)
I am using the José Eber 25 mm clipless curling iron in the giraffe print.

Life

Leather c/o Jacket LYLIF, Blazer Nordstrom, T shirt c/o Stylemint, Jeans True Religion, Necklace c/o Spike the Punch, Purse Stella McCartney, Heels Proezna Schouler, Bracelet c/o Oia Jules on Etsy

This weekend my dance team and I travel back down to LA for our dance competition. While I am beyond excited, it also marks the end of my college dance experience. I have danced pretty much my whole life, doing ballet since I was four. Joining the dance at my school was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am going to miss it so much. It's going to feel weird not having work outs every morning, practice until 11pm at night, and games almost every weekend. I'll have weekends where I will actually be able to do things! It's a bitter sweet feeling. I'm also graduating in a month and a half, which just recently became more real when I had to pick up my cap and gown. 

There are so many exciting new changes happening my life and I cannot wait for what the future has to hold. The thing I am most excited about is marrying my best friend. Thomas, you are my world and I love you so much. XO

Candy Colored

Dress c/o Queen's Wardrobe, Leather Jacket H&M, Heels c/o Lulu's, Purse Tory Burch, Earrings Kate Spade, Lipstick Kate Spade in Pop Art Pink

As you can tell, I am fully embracing the warm weather that graced us with it's presence. I originally wanted to pair these heels with a simple white dress, but when I got this mint colored mini in the mail I changed my mind. It was a little risky and bold, but I love the complete contrast of all the different colors (the shoes have 3 colors on them!- pink, orange & red). What are you guys most excited about for spring?
It would also mean a lot if you could take the time to head over here to vote for me! Thanks :)

Pink & Floral

 Blouse Equipment (also love this pink one), Skirt F21, Heels Miu Miu (similar style here), Lipstick Kate Spade in Pop Art Pink, iphone cover Kate Spade

I guess I was inspired by the wish list I posted yesterday because my outfit today was both very floral and very pink. It's almost harder not to wear color when it's this warm outside. 

I also really recommend this Kate Spade lipstick. First, it's called "supercalifragalipstick" so what's not to love about that?! and Second, it's a gorgeous subtle shade of pink/coral.

P.S. It would mean a lot to me if you could pop on over here and VOTE for me to win a blogging gig with Threadflip! <3
