PEEP TOE BOOTIES AND A DUSTER

As you can see, I’m loving duster cardigans lately! (See this post!) They add just a little bit of drama to an otherwise simple outfit. I found this duster at FOREVER21 for under $40! What a steal right?! I’m all about adding staples to my closet that will be on heavy rotation throughout the year. This duster is also a great transition piece for all seasons. I paired it with a lace camisole I found in stores at H&M ...

CLASSIC ROCKER TEE

I have always had a thing for graphic tees. Lately I’m loving a classic rocker tee paired with some heavy statement jewelry. Rocker tees are such a classic look, but adding some sort of statement piece takes this look to a whole different level. Since it is just a t-shirt, I added a necklace and a blazer with some heels to amp up this look. This statement necklace is from the BAUBLEBAR collection at Target called SUGARFIX. It’s ...

WEEKEND BLUES

A suede jacket is definitely the perfect closet staple that will last you for years. I love this BLANKNYC one because it’s a moto style jacket and gives off that cool girl vibe. It can also be worn many different ways (see this post). For this look, I layered a hoodie ...

DIY FLOWER CROWN

For the baby shower and maternity shoot, I knew I wanted to wear a flower crown. I searched etsy and found a few that I absolutely loved. Only thing was, they weren’t that cheap for something I would wear twice. My mom suggested I try making my own flower crown. At first I was hesitant because my heart was set one this beautiful crown I had found on etsy. After thinking it through, I thought why not give it a try. I then searched the ...

HOLIDAY ATTIRE

dress, shoes (old) similar here, clutch (old) similar here, lipstick in Beso, earrings (old) similar here With the holidays rolling in, I thought it was time for a holiday attire post. During the holidays, it’s always fun to get festive and dressed up. This dress is a great alternative to a little black dress because it’s still neutral enough to be worn with pretty much any color. It’s also has a subtle shine to it, perfect ...
