let's hear it for the [girls]

As I got ready for my girl's night out, I decided to go for an easy outfit that gave my jewelry a pop.  I incorporated my sassy skeleton bracelets and a fun necklace to contrast the colors.  It's important to be able to balance different color elements into your outfit in order to make this funky look. You can always count on a simple sweater + jewelry combo to feel confident! 

return of the fur vest

  

Ever since my arrival back in America, I dived right back into my daily routine.  Between trying to skip the whole jet-legged part of traveling and homework, I've been relying heavily on coffee and decided to indulge in a cup (or two) on the lakefront.

Don't be afraid to mix fabrics and patterns into your daily wardrobe-- to spice up a simple outfit, incorporate different elements, such as the plaid + fur combo. 

simple solutions

sweater (similar on sale at urban). skirt. necklace. bracelet. boots. scarf.

Today I'm all about silhouettes without any structure.  With Spring Break finally here, I want to be free flowin' and careless-looking with my ensembles- with a huge emphasis on being comfortable. 

What are you rocking during break?

wake-up call

(dress: forever 21, fur vest: topshop, booties: target)

Everyone needs a go-to dress, especially in college.  With busy schedules and little-to-no sleep, it's important to have an outfit you can always rely on when you're on your way out the door. 

what to do in rush? A dress that's comfortable (hence the loose fit of this one), simple, and doesn't require accessories and a belt. The less things to look for, the better!

transform to nighttime: I ditched the brown boots and brought in my new, handy-dandy booties.  Instead of the heavy north-face, I traded it in for a fun fur vest.

you say it's your birthday

            

Thanks to my wonderful family and friends, I had a packed-full weekend of birthday surprises, goodies, and fun gifts.  I couldn't of asked for a better way to ring in my nineteenth year, thank you everyone! 

BIRTHDAY ESSENTIALS

top, skirt, heels, necklace, 

lips, eyes, lashes,

 ring one, ring two, bracelet. 

I opted for a simple black top, sequin skirt, and black pumps for the big night.  I used a bright ring and bracelet for the much-needed pop of color that wasn't achieved with a gold neckline.  For my makeup, I used a darker palette on the lid with liquid eyeliner for insured stay all night!

a special shout out to the boo for making everything happen, thank you for an [extra] special birthday!
