These are a few of my Favorite Things

Hello Loves,


I wanted to let you all know just a little bit more about myself and a few of the things that interest me. This is nothing huge or serious, just a little small tidbit of me.

1. Urban Outfitters - I absolutely love this store. Every time I go inside I find something, even if it is just a small item. Mostly what I get is in the sale section because I am a college student lol. Coming up I'll show you a few of the pieces I found in there in the past couple of months. (UO small haul coming soon)
2. Starbucks - I am in love with the Strawberries and Cream item. It is sweet, cool, creamy, and just amazing. I was feeling for one so badly the other day I just had to go into Barnes and Noble just to get one. I think I will drink one tomorrow.
     Teen Vogue - This magazine does me wonders. I really should just subscribe since I buy it almost every month. It really gives key fashion advice that really does help me so much. I do wish I could afford the pieces it features, but hey there will always be cheaper lookalikes in stores I can afford.
3. Juicy Couture - Even though I am not an everyday seasonal JC shopper I still love their style. Their pieces are so classic mixed with a prep girly. I recently purchased a bag from their, which I got at a major discount, and this is the purchaser bag it came in. It was so cute I just could not throw it away. I think I am going to make it some sort of wall decor.
4. Company - This UK based magazine is amazing. No offense to my lovely American Magazines, but this gives magazine is the best I have looked in so far. It shows tons of street style, and I don't even know what else I just love it. The only place I know of to purchase it is Barnes and Noble, so check it out if you can.

Hoped you enjoyed!!

Stripes

Hello Loves,



As you fashionistas may know, stripes have played a huge role in this season's statements. They have been made into dresses, shirts, blazers, pointed shoes, and my fav (which I still have not purchased) pants.  Not only are these stripes bold and vast, but they fit so many different styles. You can do edgy with striped pants, a leather motor jacket, and military boots. You can also do a striped shirt, with a solid skirt, heels, and a bold lip color. Or you could do glam with a bright dress, striped blazer, and heels. It is really up to you how you want to make your statement.  The other day I went to my little sisters first cheerleading game, and I decided to be bold with some stripes. The outfit is below. My pictures aren't that good of quality, so please bare with me. Hope you continue to wear them.

Trials and Tribulations

Hello Loves,

For the last couple of days I have been trying to be more creative with the outfits I put together. Just trying to use the clothes I have in my closet, while at the same time cleaning out the clothes I do not even wear anymore. We can discuss that trial at another date lol. So here are just some things that I threw together, while also trying to be versatile with my hair. The pictures are a little out of order

Saturday 
I went out with two of my sorors and decided to do something very chill. My hair was a wet and go with a side part. This outfit was very simple, but cute and comfortable. 
Shirt: Peebles
Pants: Cotton On
Shoes: Dirty Laundry
Bag: Nine West

 Sunday( Today)
 Went to Red Lobsters with my sisters for a Sunday Brunch and decided to look cute and all lol. My hair is a continuation of my wet and go from yesterday just pulled up.
Shirt: Urban Outfitters
Jeans: Wet Seal 
Shoes: Steve Madden 
Bag: Vintage Dooney and Bourke 

Friday 
I went to an all day event with my sorors at a Refinery, discussing women in the Engineering work force. It was wonderful and very informative. My hair was a stretched twist out. With French rolls in the front. 
Shirt: Q
Pants: New York and Company 
Shoes: Bandelino 
Bag: Nine West 

Thursday
 Just a regular day. I went to visit my grandmother and spent time with her, my uncle, and cousin. Also ran errands most of the day. My hair was in twists that were then in two big twist and decorated with a beret.
Skirt: Wet Seal 
Belt: Macy's Material Girl 
Earrings: knocksoftly.com 
Shoes: Minnetonka

Hope these gave you a few ideas.
