Spring Break

Resort 2014







One of my new year's resolutions is to wear a little more color.  I think color in an outfit should be minimal & should be a statement piece.  I like buying my basics in neutral colors, but I think it's fun to get a colorful dress or jewelry.  I saw this Milly dress a week ago & I can't stop thinking about it.  The dress is a rich cobalt blue, and I think it would be so fun to wear over spring break.  I have a feeling I'll be wearing a lot of blue this summer.  These Alexander Wang mules are also amazing.  I love the tan color, too.  xx

A week in Instagram






I'm ending this week with some of my instagram pictures!  Instagram is for sure my favorite social media at the moment.  I think editing and taking pictures is really fun :).  I've been busy this weekend working and preparing to head back to Iowa State for second semester, so I haven't had much time to do outfit pictures.  I hope you all are enjoying the "nice" 30 degree weather if you're in Iowa, hehe.  Have a great Sunday! xx

All Black Everything




Wearing: (Leather jacket: BCBG, Sweater: Gap, Scarf: Banana Republic, Jeans: 7fam, Shoes: Chinese Laundry, Bag: Rebecca Minkoff, Sunnies: Ray-Ban)
pictures taken by my sister, Katie

Tgif!  I'm not too excited it's the weekend because that just means work & back to school for me.  Although I am ready for classes to start up again, I'm going to miss being lazy and sleeping in.  My outfits are probably going to all start looking the same because of this weather.  It's freezing!  My scarf will also never come off because it does such a good job of keeping me warm.  I am obsessed with this BCBG leather jacket.  I got it when I started working at the store because the fit was unreal.  It is the most comfortable leather jacket I have ever tried on, and the discount didn't hurt either. :)  Hope everyone has a good Friday!  xx

A Few Of My Favorites



(Book by Alexa Chung, Chanel 573 Accessoire nail polish, Ray-ban Aviator sunnies, Mollie Necklace from my mom, Rosebud Salve lip balm by Smith's, Mini iPad, & Black leather 2014 planner)

I am not a huge Alexa Chung fan, but this book will make my shelf beautiful.  It wasn't a bad read either.  I like to find out what inspires people, and Alexa explained quite a bit of that in her book.  I also love my Mollie necklace my mom got me for Christmas, just incase I forget my name :).  This lighting is bad but the Chanel nail polish is a perfect deep red.  My friend, Paige, got it for my birthday (its tradition).  I am obsessed with my mini iPad, it's the perfect size!  If you have chapped lips Rosebud Salve is a life savor!  Last but not least, my new sunnies!  I've always wanted a pair of classic Ray-Ban aviators.  xx

Leather detail






Wearing: (Coat: Nordstrom, Scarf: Banana Republic, Sweater: BCBG, Jeans: Acne, Shoes: Converse, Bag: Rebecca Minkoff, Sunnies: Rayban, Rings: h&m)

It's freezing in Iowa today!  A good old 10 degrees to be exact.  I got this coat in Kansas City when I was babysitting my cousin.  It is exactly what I was looking for in a coat.  I love the zipper detail and the leather sleeves, & I got it on sale!  I also don't go anywhere without this banana republic scarf, it is basically a very long sweater.  If you can't tell by now, comfort is my number one priority when getting dressed in winter.  Hope everyone has a good hump day! xx

Winter Wonderland








Wearing (Jacket: Topshop, Top: T by Alexander Wang, Jeans: 7fam, Boots: Tory Burch, Bag: Rebecca Minkoff, Rings: h&m)


Since it's freezing in Iowa I am currently only wearing boots, jeans and cozy coats.  I love this Topshop fur coat because it keeps me so warm without being super heavy.  I also love these everyday Tory Burch boots I got on sale at Halls.  I haven't taken them off my feet since I bought them!  Hope everyone had a good weekend & has a good week! xx
