THE BEST V-NECK TEE EVER

This v-neck t-shirt is the best top ever!! I am obsessed with it. I last posted about it here. I have it in 3 colors, that’s how good it is! I have always been a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl. Many of my outfit posts are usually some type of jean and t-shirt look. It’s easy and oh so comfy! It’s what I feel most comfortable in. This top is perfect for spring too. Honestly you will not be disappointed in this purchase. I am ...

WORK IT OUT WITH ZELLA

ZELLA at Nordstrom is one if my favorite brands for workout wear and athleisure. It’s comfortable, but most importantly, durable. I’ve had some of my leggings from ZELLA for years! I found this brand my junior year of college. My best friend and I used to get each other a pair of ZELLA leggings for Christmas every year. We were basically buying our gift and just giving it to each other. But it was always a gift I looked forward ...

LET’S GET ROCKED

Love a good rock concert t-shirt! This one has pops of bright colors, perfect for spring and summer! I love how laid back a rocker tee is. I like to pair mine with some sort of feminine aspect to punch up the look. Last time I posted about a rocker tee (here) I added a statement necklace. This time I added some statement wedges. These are old and unfortunately no longer available, but I will link a similar option below. JUNK FOOD is a great ...

SPRING TREND// SCALLOP

I wanted to do a small series of posts for trending styles and details for spring and summer. One trend I have noticed a lot of lately is the scallop detail. It’s so dainty and girlie—perfect for spring and summer! This trend is here to stay all the way through summer. I love how it adds a gorgeous touch to otherwise simple clothing items. P.S. most of these items are budget friendly! Shop the look: white tee// leather belt// ...

LEATHER, RIPS, AND SNEAKERS

Even though it’s finally spring, I will still wear a lot of black. It’s a perfect neutral, goes with everything and just looks so clean. The BLANKNYC faux leather jacket I am wearing is currently on sale. Leather jackets are the perfect closet staple because they can be worn with so many outfits! I love how a leather jacket looks with ripped jeans, but I love it with a gorgeous floral maxi dress as well. There are also a ton of ...

EASY SPRING OUTFIT

It’s finally spring time! So excited to dress for spring. My favorite thing to wear during spring are neutral colors. They always look fresh and clean. So of course I am wearing another neutral outfit! Since my utility vest and my boyfriend jeans are somewhat masculine, I added a pop of leopard with my sandals and a fitted tank to add a little feminine touch. Both my jeans and vest are old, but I will link similar options! Happy spring ...

FUNCTION OF BEAUTY

Personalized everything is everywhere these days! I randomly saw this brand, function of beauty, on Instagram one day. They make personalized shampoo and conditioner. I immediately checked out their website and took the hair quiz. First, you determine your hair profile. I chose straightforward hair type, fine for hair structure and normal for scalp moisture. Then you must choose 5 hair goals. This can be difficult only because there are so ...

READY FOR SPRING

Every item I am wearing, is on major repeat lately. The weather here in the bay has been amazing! Loving all this sunshine. I have been moving towards a more neutral color palate for my closet. I want to be able to wear items over and over again in various ways. These white jeans I posted about last week certainly do have a lot of stretch to them. I ended up exchanging them for a smaller size. I love how comfortable they are! I’ve worn ...

HOW TO STYLE LIVED IN HAIR

I finally did a picture tutorial to how I curl my hair. This method is the main method I use to do my hair. I prefer to have that lived in, messy waves look rather that perfectly styled curls. To start I just usually use freshly washed hair, but might add some dry shampoo to give it some texture because dirty hair holds a curl much better than freshly washed! I usually use my NuMe 1 inch curling wand, looks like they have gone down in price ...
