One Top, Two Ways

Outfit 1: Top c/o StyleMint, Skirt Maje, Tights Target, Loafers c/o ShoeMint, Watch Michael Kors, Bracelets Stella & Dot, Purse c/o Rebecca Minkoff

Outfit 2: Top c/o StyleMint, Leather Jacket Kenna T, Purse c/o Rebecca Minkoff

Striped t-shirts are probably the most worn and versatile
piece of clothing in my wardrobe.
From weekday to weekend, they work for anything.
StyleMint  does a great job at making simple striped tees in different colors,
fabrics and styles. You can see some of my other looks here, here, here and here.
This time, I paired the Finn T-shirt two different ways:
The first look was for work and day of meetings. I wore my StyleMint
Mona loafers with a simple black skirt and tights. I changed into deep purple
jeans and a leather jacket to grab dinner later that night with my husband.

NYFW Day 1

Tank c/o StyleMint, Skirt Maje, Heels Givenchy, Purse Vintage Chanel, Sunglasses Dior, Lipstick NARS "Heat Wave"

BCBG was my first show for fashion week.

It actually was my first show, ever.

It was such an overwhelming and exciting feeling

and I couldn't believe I was actually there.

If you would have told me a year and a half ago that I would be going

to NYFW I never would have believed you.

I decided to pair my new favorite Maje skirt with a simple grey

tank since the weather was unbearably hot. I can't wait to pair it with sweaters

and tights here in SF.

Dressed Down

Shirt c/o StyleMint, Skirt Zara (last summer), Jean Jacket Gap, Necklaces F21, Purse Balenciaga, Heels Givenchy

I like to add t-shirts to some of my more feminine skirts
(sometimes over dresses) to make them more casual.
Doubling up necklaces is also an easy way to make one big
statement piece, rather going out and buying something new.
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July yesterday! I sure did :)

Exploring

Shirt c/o StyleMint, Dress (worn as skirt) Free People, Purse Coach Classics, Sunnies Ray Ban, Shoes Converse, Lipstick Revlon "Really Red"

On Saturday, Thomas and I decided to explore San Francisco all on foot. 

And spend $0 while doing so. 

We packed up some snacks and water and headed out the door.

Total, we walked about 6 miles and pretty much covered a large portion of the city.

We had blast getting lost in different areas and acting as tourists in our new home. 

We both wore our converse sneakers, which have been a huge life saver

on weekends when we walk everywhere. I already have a least five blisters 

from trying to walk to work in heels :(

White Lace

 Jacket Zara, Tank c/o StyleMint, Jeans Joe's Jeans, Heels Monolo Blahnik (on sale!), Purse Stella McCartney, Necklace c/o Stella & Dot

When I tried on this coat at Zara, I knew it was coming home with me.

White...lace...gathered shoulders...! Now that Thomas and I are living in San Francisco,

we have to get used to the fact that it stays pretty cool year round. This can be a little hard

since you don't want to bring out your winter coats in the middle of summer because it's 60 

degrees out. This jacket is the perfect summer jacket and also looks great over a dress for a

nice evening event!

Memorial Day Weekend Wear

Tank c/o StyleMint (Andy Tank), Jeans Goldsign, Wedges c/o ShoeMint, Sunnies Ray Ban, Purse Kate Spade, Necklace c/o Stella & Dot, Watch Michael Kors

Happy Friday Everyone!

My weekend is going to be filled with baseball games and packing up our house.

This weekend marks the end of Thomas's baseball career and the beginning of our 

move to San Francisco. 

I hope everyone has a lovely Memorial Day weekend!

Bows & Pretty Things

T Shirt c/o StyleMint, Skirt Anthropologie, Wedges c/o ShoeMint, Purse Coach, Watch Michael Kors, Bracelet c/o Stella & Dot, Lipstick NARS Heat Wave

I pretty much love anything feminine, sweet and girly.

This outfit wraps that all up into one. This skirt is really feminine, my red

lips are pretty sweet and my hair-do is quite girly.

P.S. I found the tutorial for this hair-do here! (although it says it's for bangs,

I just took my front hairs and did it)

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

Spring Stripes

Shirt StyleMint, Skirt J. Crew, Heels YSL, Purse Kate Spade, Sunnies Ray Ban, Watch Michael Kors

I am a big fan of all the StyleMint T's (seen here, here, here and here). They are my go-to t shirts for everyday or casual looks and they are only $29.99. This Jackson one is my current favorite. The pastel blue, stripes and scoop collar make for a perfect summer shirt to pair with jeans, skirts, or even throw over a swim suit (I can't wait!). I am also really loving the new lace Quincey top.

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

Work Attire

 Jacket J. Crew, T-shirt Stylemint, Pants Target, Belt Vintage, Pumps Zara, Watch Michael Kors, Lipstick NARS "Heatwave"

 For my internship, I like to keep things simple, polished and classic. A striped t-shirt and black slacks can easily be transitioned into jeans and flats for class! Lipstick always brightens my day as well :)

Caramel & Red

Jacket J. Crew, Top StyleMint, Pants Anthropologie, Wedges Ivanka Trump, Scarf Forever21, Watch Michael Kors, Thomas's Boots

I think that caramel is one of my favorite colors. I also love the way it looks with red. There is just something really classic about the two together, especially with some plaid thrown in the mix. Also, these Ivanka Trump suede wedges are a great alternative to the J. Crew one's with a much lower price tag!

P.S. Check out my Tommy's new boots...he's such a hipster!
