some spring outfitting

Hi guys! As promised, I wanted to put up some spring-inspired outfits today because even though there is a snow storm we can all dream and try to get inspiration for the warm, beautiful, floral-y months ahead.

straw, lace, & white

White tops with delicate details. Clean lace. Oval, sassy sunglasses. Straw accessories.

a little bit of edge

Red accents. Pointy loafers. Black jean skirts. Gold accessories. Vintage t-shirts.

a little bit of fancy

Blush. Chanel-inspired shoes. Cat eye sunglasses. Ribbons.

earthy

Straw textures. White sneakers. Gold framed glasses. Neutral tones.

And that's it! Because this is early I'm sure I'll have another one of these posts in the works once spring arrives. If you want to know where anything is from in each of the sets, you can go to my Polyvore here and click on the outfit which will show you all of the details. Love you guys and let me know which outfit is your favorite!

the spring issue

Even though it is frigidly cold in New York City, I have been cleaning and organizing through my closets and revamping my room to make way for the upcoming Spring season. I am so, so excited, mainly because Spring is like a time of rebirth; everyone crawls out of their New York City caves, restaurants move seating outside into the sun, and it can finally be time to whip out backless loafers, purely white, ruffled shirts, and cutesy dresses. Though we still have ways to go, this upcoming shift has me feeling inspired. Today I bought some flowers while grocery shopping, changed my sheets, and I finally feel fresh again.

Also, yes I bought those crazy shoes to inspire my spring wardrobe. I've honestly never bought a 'statement' pair of shoes before. I can't wait to bust them out when the weather becomes warmer. They are a metallic-y rose gold color and reflect sunlight like I've never seen a pair of shoes do before. No shoe shining needed here (from Zara).

Also, if you're looking for a fresh scent for your home, I recommend Diptyque's Figuier. It literally makes my room smell like fresh flowers, figs (of course), and freshness. I recommend 100%. I am also so into straw lately (straw bags, straw hats) and this one from Lack of Color is my favorite. I recently ordered an Etsy straw bag that I can't wait to show you guys! In case you're wondering, the pretty lacey bralette is from Chantelle and the gold-bracelet bag is from Frankie. 

Skincare-wise, I definitely want to try more products by Fresh because rose is my ultimate favorite scent and they have so many rose-scented products. Aromas aside, my friend recommended them to me and said I needed to try their products ASAP. So I decided I should definitely give them a go. I recently purchased their Rose Cleansing Foam and fell in love. I also hope to explore more into Aesop because they are such a beautiful and wholesome brand. 

Even though this post is pretty blush themed (me...blush themed??) I have been loving red and whites and blacks and greys and browns. I hope to stick with that color palette, while incorporating some spring tones, into my wardrobe! Tomorrow I plan on having some spring outfits up on here so stay tuned! What are you feeling for spring?

photographs from paris

Hi all! As I mentioned in another blogpost, I really wanted to just dump every single one of my favorite photos from Paris here basically to relive the experience...and I know you guys have been saying you want to see more photos so I thought it would be a good idea to do so. Without further ado, here are all of the photos. I will probably be posting them all on social media too, so I'm very sorry if you get sick of them!!

If you want to know what I'm wearing or where we are in any photo, just let me know :-)

Paris truly has just made me so, so enlightened and happy on the inside. Just to have had the opportunity to travel to my literal dream place because of my 'job' was insane. It is something I will truly treasure forever. It has taught me that sometimes, there are bigger things in life, and these are the moments that will matter. They are the moments you will look back on with a smile and a pinch of the heart and say 'that made me who I am'. It's not about tests, loads of work, those who do not believe in you. It's literally all about you and where you picture yourself. I promise, if you think something will happen and set your mind to it, it will happen. Thank you for all your sweet messages while I was there and thank you for how supportive you all have been. Sending you love from the bottom of my heart ♡

Xoxo,
Christie
