Hey everyone! Happy Thursday. I can’t believe that we are one week from Thanksgiving. I am so excited for all the food, family, and being home. Plus, I always think it’s important to take the time to be grateful for everything we have. No matter how tough the time get, there is always something to be thankful for.
This outfit reminds me of fall. This is perfect for relaxing around the house, getting some black Friday shopping in or visiting family around the holidays.
The off-white/cream and the cranberry colored pants go hand and hand together. They are the perfect blend. Okay, enough food analogies, clearly I am ready for Thanksgiving. Haha!
I got these burgundy pants from American Eagle, they look like pants, but they stretch and feel like leggings, they are the perfect mix. I love the color since it is so bold and colorful. Since the pants were loud, I decided for a muted top. I got this sweater from Polo Ralph Lauren. I sometimes layer this sweater with a polo underneath, but other times, I just wear it solo. I love how this outfit looks together. I lastly, finished off my outfit with my high black boots, I got these boots from Marshalls. They tie my outfit together and they are a neutral color too.
This is such a fun and laid back outfit and perfect for the fall and Thanksgiving season. Have a fun weekend and enjoy the holiday season.
Hey everyone! Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it is already Thursday. This has been a shorter week for me due to fall break. It was so nice to get home for a break and family time, but now it’s back to work. I had so many fun fall activities over break and I got to break out all the fall clothes, which brings me to today’s look of the day.
I went to a fall fest over break and it was the perfect occasion to wear browns and burgundy. I started out my outfits with these maroon/burgundy pants from American Eagle. I love how they are pants but are made from soft material and are easy to stretch and move around in.
I love to pair these pants with a neutral top, I often go with a cream, black or white. Today, I went with a white. Due to chillier temps, I matched a brown leather jacket from Francesca’ Boutique with it and wore a gray infinity scarf also from Francesca’s Boutique as well.
I kept the brown consistent through the outfit with brown boots that I got from T.J. Maxx a few years back. I love the shorter boot and how well it matches with the outfit.
This ensemble would be great for a fall day with temperatures in the 50’s, not too chilly but not super warm either. I love to layer in this season, so this outfit works out even better. The colors give you all the fall vibes and it’s in style too. What’s your favorite part about fall fashion?!
Hey guys! I can’t believe it is August 1!? Where has the summer gone! This has been a packed full summer for me and I have loved everything I have done so far! I only have a few weeks left of summer before it’s back to school. I am going to make the most of the remaining weeks of summer.
I am so excited to share today’s outfit with you. I pieced it together with all things I already had in my wardrobe and I loved the end results. If you read my post on Tuesday, you may have caught that red is my favorite color, but I don’t wear a lot of it since it is so bold. I always jump at an opportunity to wear something fun and out of the box.
I started my outfit out with a white pair of capris. I got my favorite pair from American Eagle and love the cut and style, they can be worn dressed up or dressed down. I personally like to cuff mine at the bottom for a different look. I am also wearing a Michael Kors belt that I got on sale from Marshalls! I love bringing out the black even more.
Who doesn’t love a pop of red!
Instead of wearing a black silk blouse, I opted for a solid black shirt from Old Navy. I love the fabric and it works better for running around.
This read blazer ties the whole outfit together. I typically only wear It around Christmas but have been wearing it more with dresses and pants in the spring and summer for a pop of color.
Lastly, how cute are these shoes?! I love the ruffles and how they can dress up an outfit. I have had these for a few years and love to break them out to change up my wardrobe.

I also accessorized with pearl studs and a pearl ring along with a silver necklace.

What are your thoughts on the outfit?! Love it? Too bold? Let me know in the comments below!
Another week is coming to an end. I don’t know about you but I am so ready for Thanksgiving. It can’t come soon enough. I am ready for some time home to relax, see family, and most importantly, eat some delicious food. It’s crazy to think it’s only a week away. When I think of Thanksgiving, besides food I always think of family and traveling to see family.
I have a double dose of fashion for you today. So, I’m not even kidding when I tell this story. One of my closest friends, Bailey and I showed up to class in the same outfit and didn’t realize it until our professor told us. It wasn’t until he said we both looked like prison guards that we realized we were wearing the same outfit. Don’t believe me? Here’s the picture for proof.
Crazy right?!
I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to break down both of our outfits.
I’ll start with mine first, everything is pretty affordable and classic. I got this black and white striped top from Old Navy, I love stripes and black and white are such neutral colors that can go with any outfit.
I decided to match this striped top with a pair of black leather leggings from Target, I like that they are more durable than regular black leggings, not to mention warmer too!
The weather has been colder and colder, so I wore this long black sweater from Tillys.
I topped my outfit off from my go-to boots for fall, these new ones I got from DSW. Not only are they cute, but also affordable and comfortable. This is a simple outfit but it’s perfect for colder months.
Now, moving onto Bailey’s outfit. She got her dark jeans from American Eagle, another place that I always have luck finding jeans, especially one sale after the season is over.
Her black and white sweater is from Old Navy as well as her puffer vest. What can I say, good friends shop at the same stores!
Lastly, she got these cute high boots from Nordstrom’s. Not only are the stylish but also comfortable.
Whew…there you have it, two look of the days for the price of one. This weekend is going to be a fun one, Bailey and I are heading to the city to get into the holiday spirit with Light Up Night which well be fun and then Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Stay tuned for a post on Tuesday all about our Light Up Night adventure.
For all you fashion lovers out here, today I have a real treat for you. Double fashion posts this week!!As we make our way through summer, I find myself using the same accessories over and over again. Some are new, some I have had for years. These accessories become staples in my wardrobe and are must haves for me. Now, some are very specific while others are more general.
Here’s a look into my favorite summer accessories.
Bold necklace
I love a bold necklace, especially in the summer. I have gotten chunky necklaces from Old Navy,Francesca’s, and even Target. I not only like getting a variety of colors to mix and match with outfits, but I also love the different shapes and patterns that big necklaces come in. These eye-catching necklaces are perfect to dress up a solid color dress, blouse, or t-shirt. You can also dress up an outfit by just adding a statement necklace and earrings. Here are a few of my favorite necklaces that are constantly seen around my neck.

Gold Jewelry
Speaking of jewelry, when I have a busy outfit, or I am not in the mood to accessorize- which let’s be honest can happen. This summer I have been turning to simple gold jewelry to get me through the day. I used to only wear silver jewelry but now I find myself wearing gold jewelry more and more especially in the summer. I like how it’s simple and not too overwhelming, but you don’t feel naked without having no jewelry. Here are my essentials. I love a set of gold balls, these are a perfect size-not too big and not too small. They are also great for a professional setting, not too flashy but just enough to look like you can dress for the job. I also pair my earrings with this simple gold Gemini necklace. I got mine from Francesca’s, it’s very personal but also simple. I got this “love” ring from Alex and Ani for my birthday. Anyone who knows me, knows that I adore Sex and the City. When I saw this ring, I couldn’t help but think about Carrie and Big. This ring is perfect for dressing up a business casual outfit. Finally, these bracelets from Alex and Ani are perfect to finish off a polished and professional outfit.

My gemini necklace, I always have it on, so simple, but a great piece of jewelry.
This love ring is one of my favorite new accessories for summer
-Fun flats
After starting my internship, I knew I had to invest in a few pair of flats. I would prefer to go for heel, wedge or sneaker shoe-but those are not the most reasonable for the workplace. Therefore, I had to go down the flat route. I found simple black and nude flats easy, but then I cam across these shoes on sale at DSW and immediately fell in love. I love how they are slides, but the pattern is so fun, bright, and colorful. These slide shoes are becoming so popular, I have seen them in so many stores. Because there are so many colors on shoe, I can pair it with so many things, from a pink and white striped dress, and solid blue dress, even a short set. The possibilities are endless.
How cute are these fun flats, they can go with so many outfits!
Sun glasses
Lastly, no summer look would be put together without a pair of sunnies. I love sunglasses, but when I wore glasses, I would always be limited in what I could wear over my glasses. Now that I have contacts, I can choose from so many different pairs of sunglasses to go with outfits or what I’m feeling. I typically don’t spend too much money on sunglasses since I like to switch them up so often. I do have a black aviator and big brown pair that I wear frequently. However, I got this pair from American Eagle on sale and I absolutely adore them. They have a unique shape and color that can really change any outfit from going drab to fab. A fun pair of sunglasses are always on my summer must have.
How fun are these glasses?!
Who doesn’t love fun, summer accessories?!
That rounds up my favorite summer accessories. What are some pieces that you can’t live without, especially in the summer weather?!
Hello and Happy Summer (I think we are in the clear for summer weather)!! Yay!! It’s been a long time coming but I think it is safe to take out the shorts, grill supplies and umbrellas as summer is here to stay.
Today, I am sharing an outfit I wore for a Memorial Day picnic. I had a great 3 day weekend spent with barbecuing, seeing family and kicking off summer. It was a well spent holiday weekend. In addition, the warm 80 degree weather made it even better to celebrate the start of summer.
White and Blue for the start of summer!
When it comes to fashion, I am a firm believer of wearing white after Memorial Day, so I was very excited to break out these white capris. I have worn all these items with other outfits but, for this outfit I decided to match them all together.
I got these white Capris from American Eagle. I haven’t shopped there in a while, I got them a few years back, but they were a great buy and I have worn them again and again with different outfits in the summer.
I love this top. I got it from Francesca’s Boutique last year. I love the material as it is very lightweight. I have worn it with shorts in the past but loved pairing it with the capris for a more dressier look. I also love how it is one shoulder, it really changes up an outfit. The blue and white combo is one of my new favorite pairings.
Since, I went to a picnic, I paired my capris and top with a pair of nude wedges. These are my favorite summer sandals to wear to picnics, grad parties, and other summer events. A wedge is crucial to have in your wardrobe. Whether, it is high or short, a wedge can go with any summer outfit.
My biggest accessory are not having glasses, I finally decided to make a change and get contacts for my 20th birthday. It took some practice but I am very happy with the final result.
That’s a look into my Memoial Day outfit and a start into my summer wardrobe. Have a great weekend filled with sunshine and warm weather.
Such a beautiful spring day. This is my view on my way to campus every day
Last week finally felt like spring. The sun was shining, the windows were open, people were studying outside; it made me so ready for spring!! I took advantage of this burst of warm weather by dressing very springy. My friends and I made a quick stop to Dunkin Donuts before class hence the frozen drink and backpack, this is a college student in her natural habitat.
Finally acting like spring!
Starting with my top, I go this last year from Francesca’s Boutique. I have worn it previously with this outfit. This was the perfect occasion to wear this sleeveless top. I also like the material and fit and how it can be worn with many outfits.
My jeggings are from Target. When it comes to spring and the weather changes from morning to evening, I try to wear a short sleeve top and long pants or vice versa.
These are my favorite spring boots. I love the peep toe and the thick heel. They are perfect for transitional seasons. I got these from T. J. Maxx, I can’t wait to wear them more often this season. Also, I am a heel fan, and these are super comfortable as well. I typically find wedges or thick heels much more comfortable than thin heels.
My sunglasses are from American Eagle. I love their fun and unique style. They were on sale so that makes me love them even more!!
This outfit definitely got me in the mood for summer. I am ready to break out the pastels, shorts, and bathing suits.
What are you most looking forward to when it comes to summer? Vacations, picnics, beach days, tanning? I’m looking forward to all of it.
See you all next week. One week closer to the long awaited summer.
This week has flown by, before we cruise into the weekend I have some outfit inspiration that would be perfect for a Saturday look. I wore this comfortable yet fashionable outfit to class, I loved how I looked put together and chic but I was still comfortable. This outfit would be great to wear out with friends, running errands or to class. I love to find clothes that I can wear on more than one occasion.
Blue, blue, and blue and how it could work for YOU!
Some snow has been melting (but it won’t be for long.) so I took advantage and wore these cute suede shoe boots. The wedge is just the right heel. I wore these soft jeggings from Target. I love going to target to pick up some extra leggings, they always have fun patterns and styles, plus they are made from good material which makes them last long. Although I love to be bold with fun tops, sweaters, and vests, there is nothing wrong with just wearing a solid shirt. I got this turquoise blue shirt from GAP and it is made from the smoothest, softest, silkiest material. It is so lightweight but so comfortable. I love wearing it when I have long day.
I wore pretty neutral colors, so I had to dress it up with some accessories. I wore my favorite bracelets from Francesca’s Boutique. I dressed my fingers up with gold rings from American Eagle. I am wearing my monogrammed bar necklace which I absolutely adore. I wore a pair of gold studs to finish off the outfit.
You have to dress up your hands too!
So simple, but so personalized and elegant,
I’m sure we all have a pair of jeans or leggings, a solid shirt and simple jewelry in our closets. Try new pieces out and mix and match your outfits you never know what will work. Have a great weekend and don’t forget to take some time for yourselves.
Today, I’m sharing another one of my favorite monogrammed looks. I always try to dress with a purpose, there have been times when I am planning on running out to the store to get something and I’m wearing sweats and I end up running into someone I know. There is nothing worse than seeing someone you know and feeling undressed. When I am out and about I always try to dress as if I am planning on seeing someone. So even if I am running to Target for a quick run, I have my hair and makeup done along with a cute outfit.
Keeping warm while running errands
I love the simplicity and the added detail a monogram gives to an outfit. I get a lot of monogramming done through a local boutique, but I also have gotten gifts from MarleyLilly and Etsy with monogramming accessories. I wore this while I was running errands and heading back to school. I opted for my favorite pair of black leggings from GAP. I also stayed warm with my favorite cabin socks. This year with freezing temperatures and lots of snow, I always wear my heavy duty boot socks, both warmth and fashion. I do love high boot socks but when I wear a shorter boot, I tend to wear cabin socks. When I wear a higher boot, I wear high boot socks.
I am loving this tunic top from Etsy, Take It Personally. It’s long enough to wear leggings or jeans and I adore the monogrammed in the bottom corner. It’s simple but sophisticated and the detail is perfect. The sunglasses are great when I am driving, and the snow and sun cause a lot of brightness. I got them on sale from American Eagle. Since I was running errands, I put my hair in a half up/half down top knot and it worked great especially having shorter hair.
Fun sunnies have me wishing of warmer times!
Well, that’s a recap of what I’ve been wearing. I cut my hair short for the new year and I need suggestions of what I should do with it. If you have short hair, let me know your favorite styles and products in the comments below.
Winter is underway back home for me. This outfit is perfect for some last minute shopping or if you are planning ahead this would work great for heading to class. All these pieces work well alone but when you put them all together, you get something special. I wore this outfit a few days ago and I got lots of compliments. No better feeling than feeling good in clothes you love. This outfit is warm and comfortable but looks chic. All things we look for in clothes.
We have all seen the boots I am wearing before (with skirts, dresses, jeans, and leggings) but today I changed it up and wore a pair of fuzzy boot socks with them to bring out the winter white.I got these socks from American Eagle.
These are my favorite faux leather leggings. They have a fun Aztec pattern on them. I love faux leggings because they dress up an outfit rather than just wearing black leggings.
My blue chambray shirt is from Old Navy. I love the faded light blue especially in the winter months. In the warmer months, if you pair it with a pair of white shorts, you get a great look too.
My winter white infinity scarf is from Target, believe it or not. It keeps me warm in the colder months and is a great statement piece. Plus, I adore how it matches my winter white boot socks.
A pair of silver hoops, top of my outfit. I hope this gives you some ideas of how to dress fashionably but still stay warm.
Next week, I have two posts planned for the new year!! We are going out of 2017 in style! Until then, I hope you and your loved ones have a very Merry Christmas!!
