fall fashion ideas

It seems like I'm not the only one ready for fall--when I asked you guys what you would like to see in my next post, a ton of you said fall outfit inspiration! I also got a question about what to wear to weddings, so I figured I would do a little bit of a mix. Read more to see...

music festival looks

Since Coachella is literally 2 days away, I wanted to put together some 'music festival outfits' which, I know, the title sounds pretty cring-y but I don't know what other title would make sense...

latest inspirations

Hi dears! So I wanted to make a little creative post today because I've been feeling unbelievably inspired lately. I have a sudden urge to change up my room a bit and make it more mature...mostly because...well...I think I'm maturing! And as you mature, your tastes obviously change and build and I find myself just wanting more quality over quantity, which I know is a concept we all hear all the time. I just feel more charged up, wanting even more simplicity than I usually do, and having a passion towards art like I never really have before. I've always been an admirer of art and film photographs (obviously) and Parisian style, but the difference I find in myself now is that I want to act upon it, rather than dream and look on. And I thought what is better way to than to organize my thoughts into some mood boards!

With that said, I do want to change up my room a bit, like I said before. I want to cover my desk in a white marble pattern (I found a Youtube tutorial and you can literally buy marble-like textures and glue it to your desk). I have a gold tray to store all my beauty/fragrance products because my desk has become a little bit of a mess of 'em. I'm going to hang up some wall prints above my bed that I picked out from Etsy (I just need to print them out at Staples and frame them and hang them...uye it will be bit of a process). Some of the prints are fashion inspired and some are just plain ol' nostalgic. And just little touches here and there, like organizing my books and investing in some great fashion books for a future coffee table. Is it weird that coffee table aesthetics really make me excited?

I also added some other things, like that crazy gold mirror...obviously I don't want a mirror that insane, but I've always wanted a gold-framed mirror for when I have a little makeup vanity or to hang against a wall. Again, future goals people.

I've been super obsessed with marble lately and also just really nice, light wood textures. I've also been loving furs (not real ones) and other textures that just really can spice up any space. I've been eyeing some marble book ends so I can actually have my favorite books on my desk without having to lean against something that is unstable. I feel like I'm maturing in the way that I really want to try new things, add something different to make it even more home-y yet maybe sort of trendy.

And, of course, my skincare obsession continues, which is why I had to add them in every set. Not that I still don't absolutely love my St. Ives or Proactiv ;-) But anyway, that's really all! Just wanted to share with you the subtle improvements I want to make within the next 3 months. Right in time for a new, Spring look! It'll just freshen things up a bit. I've been in this apartment for almost a year so I feel like it's only necessary, especially since I haven't changed a thing at all. I'm also thinking about getting a new theme for this blog, since I've had it for way more than a year! Again just something fresh. What do you guys think? What have you been obsessing over?

valentines day outfit ideas 2017

Hi beautiful people. I was searching through the blog archives and I found my old Valentines Day inspiration post and thought it would be a good idea to do another one since February 14th is popping up sooner than we thought. Not that it's that crazy of a holiday, but I love curating outfits to help if you guys are in a pickle decision-making wise. And, like I stated a year ago in the last blogpost, no matter how/who you are spending it with I hope you spend time treasuring yourself too. Whether you're single, sort-of-not-single, in a relationship, or many of the other options, know that you are precious and whoever you are spending it with is very lucky to have you.

Champagne. Facials. Cozy blanket. Candles. Lace.

It is actually going to be my second year with Adam as a Valentine (and I'm sure many more to come) and I don't know what our plans are but I'm sure it'll be something along the lines of date night! Love you guys and let me know which one is your favorite x

new years outfit inspiration

Hi guys! So I wanted to do another little outfits post because I know you guys really like them and I definitely wanted to get a post up this week because I've been so in that holiday laziness! I will definitely be back on my grind soon, but I'm just waiting to settle back into my apartment and feel my usual New York City inspiration. But anyway,  here are some New Years Outfits I've thought up!

1. DATE NIGHT

I thought up this one for those who are maybe going to a nice dinner or party, where champagne and drinks are involved but you still want to be classy and sophisticated. I would really recommend a flowy dress paired with a sparkly bag and tights to get that classic New Years glitter vibe.

2. NIGHT WITH THE GIRL GANG

This outfit was inspired by a night of clubbing and being with friends with cocktails and confetti. Sparkly dress, tights, sweet heels. I would also recommend a crossbody bag so you can keep it with you all night yet still be able to dance and kiss strangers and not worry about a thing.

3. A NIGHT IN

This one is for those who are just having a night in with their loves or cozy by themselves with face masks, champagne, and Chinese food. Honestly I think this is the option that I am going for. Pajamas, thick socks, and watching the New Years events on tv.

Link to my Polyvore here.

Whether you decide to go out or stay in, I really hope all of your New Years are exactly what you want them to be and that everyone is stays safe! So much love to all of you! I believe Adam and I are just going to stay in and do that channel that 'night in' set. What do you plan on doing? 

Xoxo,

holiday outfits

Hi guys! I wanted to put some looks together inspired by this festive season. I wanted to help out in case you were struggling with what to wear to that awkward family party, a casual night, or crazy formal dinner. I was really inspired by simplicity, delicate fabrics, and an overall sort of trendy, menswear style! Really hope you like!

some autumn outfitting

Hi! So, because I can't film a fall look book yet or a back to school supplies video (all my things still haven't arrived from Etsy), I've decided the next best thing would be featuring some fall-inspired outfits taken off my Polyvore onto here ☺︎ each has a different sort of vibe, but all involve my favorite neutrals and Autumn tones. I really hope you guys enjoy and they give you inspiration for this upcoming season!

 

Really hope you guys liked! If you need details for each outfit, you can go to my Polyvore and click and all will be listed :-)
