Spring Affair

Hello Loves! First and foremost, happy Friday! I hope you all had a kick ass week. Now, lets get to business...

I have been on a hat craze lately which is very unusual for me but I've been loving them! I paired this grey one from Forever 21 with a simple button down blouse. This top is lightweight and has a lot of movement, which is perfect for the warmer months approaching in spring. I love the casual yet cool vibe of this outfit with the hat and ripped jeans. It's perfect for a casual lunch date with the girls or a special someone.

Conquering

Hello loves! I am happy to announce that I conquered the most INSANE finals week of my entire life. Spring break! *cue James Franco voice* I’m on to my second year at The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. Over the past 10 crazy months I’ve fallen even more in love with the fashion industry, which I never thought could be possible. And I found a new love: the beautiful city of angels, Los Angeles. Moving across the country was the best choice I could’ve ever made. I highly encourage anyone to get out of his or her comfort zone and move. Whether it’s across the country, a different country or just a state away. It is one of the most freeing and exhilarating experiences.

Now off of that side note…I have been loving classic button downs lately. They can be styled so many different ways. That inspired today’s post! Today, I rocked this classic staple with edgy elements, like a deep violet lip color and my button down half way tucked in.

Finally Friday

Hello loves! Happy Friday! Hope you all had a happy and productive week.

 I absolutely love this look for today's post. Perfect for running around errands on a friday and grabbing lunch or coffee with a friend (Urth Cafe anyone?!) I rarely ever wear denim shorts but I love how they are styled with an over-sized sweater and these thigh highs for a cool yet casual look. Very effortless, which is why it is perfect for days when you want to be stylish but you have 34027 things on your to do list and still want to be comfortable running around.

 Sweater: H&M

Shorts: American Eagle

Thigh highs: Forever 21

Snow White (minus the snow this is LA)

Hello Loves! Happy Saturday. I've been loving monochromatic outfits lately which is what inspired this casual yet chic outfit. I chose all white because I thought it looked more chic and kept it simple with black accessories for a crisp look. This look can be easily transitioned from day to night, just add a dark lip and you're ready to go out!

Cool Tones

Hello Loves! Today's post is definitely a rather girly look. Normally, I stray away from color but lately I've been dipping into it a little more. I was inspired by color blocking, which I am a huge fan of, so this is my muted version of it. I kept it with cool tones for this one. This look can be transitioned throughout the day. Perfect for lunch with the girls, a meeting (depending on where you work) or a dinner date. 

Blazer: H&M

Top and ring: Forever 21

Skirt: PacSun

Shoes: Just Fab

Clutch: Michael Kors

Bracelet: Target

Contrast that ish.

Hello loves! I seriously can't believe it is already February 17th! I feel like January 1st was just yesterday, time is flying. I've been so busy this week with school and work so I have ventured out into the sporty chic trend. I've been wanting to try this trend out for awhile and this busy week seemed like the perfect time. 

I love the contrast between this edgy leather skirt and these slip on sneakers. The different vibes of the skirt and shoes harmonize to make an effortlessly chic look. I kept it simple with this white muscle tank and silver accessories. I loved how different yet very wearable this outfit was. Perfect for running errands while still looking pulled together.

Tank: PacSun

Skirt:  H&M

Shoes: Aldo

Purse: Urban Outfitters

Watch: Fossil

Try this trend out to spice up your casual days! Hope you all enjoyed!

Hello loves! Todays post is directly influenced by either one of your favorite days of the year or the one you are dreading..Valentines Day! Personally, I love Valentines Day, it's just a cute holiday. Even if you don't have a significant other Valentines Day is a fun reason to get dressed up with your girlfriends, go out to dinner, have a glass of wine or stay in and have a girls night.
Heres a classic outfit idea that you can wear on Valentines Day or honestly any day of the year.

I have had this pink blazer for awhile and felt like this was the perfect occasion to wear it. Blazers are a staple in my wardrobe plus the hot pink color switches things up a bit! I decided to keep it simple with an all black matching crop top and skirt set. I opted for neutral accessories with black heels a simple white clutch. I wanted the blazer to be the focal point of the look.

Blazer & clutch: Lookbook Store

Top & skirt: Forever 21

Heels: Call It Spring

Bracelets: H&M

Hope you all enjoyed! Happy Valentines Day!
