The Forgotten Frock

Dress: Phillip Lim for Target | Shoes: Zara | Bag: Kate Spade 

I'm notorious for a few things and forgetting about clothes that I've purchased is one of those things.  I often purchase something and forget about its existence while it silently sits in my closet, waiting for a chance in the spotlight.  I ended up buying so many of the Phillip Lim for Target dresses that I think I lost track of which ones I'd gotten.  Well I found this dress just in time for Resurrection Sunday.  Now when I was a kid, my sisters and I were decked out in the whitest of dresses and adorned in the laciest lace but now that I'm an adult I take a more subtle approach to the whole "Easter Dress" concept.  I knew this beautiful holiday would be the perfect time to wear this beautifully colored and beautifully cut dress.  It's simple and sweet and I can't believe I almost forgot about it.

Sequins and Stripes

 Top: J. Crew | Jeans: J. Crew | Shoes: Zara | Bracelet: Kate Spade | Watch: Target

This has to be one of my favorite sequin t-shirts (yes I own more than one). This top was a highly coveted J.Crew purchase that I got on super sale, I was very pleased with my success. This top and my other sepqin tops are a great way to add some glitz and glam to an everyday look without seeming completely over the top.

Shape Shifter

Dress: MNG by Mango | Belt: Target | Shoes: Zara | Bag: Kate Spade | Earrings: Kate Spade, similar | Bracelet: Kate Spade | Watch: Target 

I love shift dresses. That is all. Also, I think that with Allison taking my pictures, the blog has taken a weird turn. Haha, that's just what happens when we're together, plus it's Friday, we could all use a little weirdness. 

She likes to capture these moments

Tripod Trials

Dress: Forever 21 (last seen here)  | Shoes: Zara | Bag: Kate Spade | Sunglasses: Kate Spade | Necklace: Prabal Gurung for Target | Watch: Target | Ring: Forever 21

I almost didn't post this look or these pictures because as you might notice, the tripod wanted to take the stage and it appears in almost every shot. But then I decided it'd be funny to share my struggles as a blogger, trust me, I know that might sound kind of silly. I don't mean struggles as in "I can't find the perfect shoes," or "my blacks don't match," although those are very real issues. I'm talking about the struggles that manifest when you decide to document your life, even those aspects that seem silly like what you're wearing or what you ate. I haven't been at this for long and every time I get dressed or take a picture, it's a learning opportunity. Right now I'm just having fun but I can't say that I wouldn't want blogging or something fashion-related to be my career. I mean, even Drake started from the bottom. So until I get a steady photographer or remember how to set up the tripod properly, I'll take every moment in stride. I hope you enjoy these funny pictures, I looked so serious, but the tripod shadow just makes me giggle. With all that being said, and I said a lot, this was an easy and fun look for me. I think I just picked out all my favorites and luckily they worked together.

Here's to being able to laugh at yourself

Cotton Candy

Top: Urban Outfitters | Skirt: Made by my Mom | Shoes: Zara | Bracelets: J.Crew 

Well, my mom is officially on a sewing kick and I could not be happier. I came home after rehearsal to find her sewing away, making this adorable skirt. I love the colors and the stripes, it reminds me of 1060's wallpaper, but in a good way.

Go Bright or Go Home

 Dress: WISH | Shoes: Zara | Necklace: Vince Camuto 

I have an undying love for shift dresses, they are so comfortable and so easy to wear. These days it seems that I also have an undying love for bright colors. I found this dress in a cute little store in the Cooper Young area of Memphis, called WISH. I hope the ladies in there like me because they're going to be seeing me quite a bit, if you live in Memphis, you should definitely pay them a visit. These blue platform sandals are amazing, they're beautiful and comfortable, what more could a girl want? 

Chambray, Chambray, Chambray

Top: JCP | Skirt: Ann Taylor | Shoes: Zara | Sunglasses: Kate Spade Necklace: Old Navy | Rings: J. Crew, F21 | Bracelets: J.Crew

My mom recently asked me about the number of chambray shirts I own. I unashamedly own quite a few, I think four to be exact but I'm losing count. Chambray shirts are so remarkably versatile, they can literally be paired with anything and they're so comfortable. I love this pullover style, I have it in a lighter wash and I am constantly reaching for this classic button-up. Also, these Zara heels are one of my  favorite pairs of shoes, I got them during last season's Spring/Summer sale for $9.99. Talk about a steal.

P.S. The tripod and I got along today, so enjoy the 30 billion shots.

Leopard Print

Top: Zara | Jeans: BDG, Urban Outfitters | Shoes: Antoni Melani | Bag: Kate Spade

I bet you thought there was going to be some leopard print in this post, well there's not.  It's just a print OF a leopard, which is just as cool if you ask me.  The Zara Spring/Summer sale is still in full swing and prices keep dropping.  Lately I've been a sucker for fun t-shirts, it's so easy to dress them up or down.  Since it's Friday I opted for an easy-going but still pulled together look, it's the end of the week, gotta go out with a bang.  Also, these shoes are sparkly and wonderful, it's easy for them to look quite dressy but pairing them with jeans and a t-shirt made me feel like a more comfortable version of Cinderella.  Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, thanks for reading.

Borrowed and Blue

Top: J.Crew | Jeans: Gap | Shoes: Zara | Bag: Steve Madden | Necklace: Gigglosophy

Bracelets: J.Crew, Kate Spade, Five and Two

I always knew I would find the perfect boyfriend jeans before the actual boyfriend.  Go figure.  I'm a big fan of these jeans so I think I'll be alright for the time being.  I spotted this shirt in the Men's department of J.Crew and I knew it would be the beginning of a long relationship.  Remember when you never would have imagined shopping for boy clothes?  I know my 12 year old self would have scoffed at the thought, but now I love finding pieces like this shirt.  It's so easy to add some feminine flair by putting on some lipstick and strappy heels, it's really a no-brianer when it comes to getting dressed.

K.I.S.S.

Top: Zara |  Belt: Zara |  Jeans: Urban Outfitters, same style different color |  Shoes: Calvin Klein

Bracelets: J.Crew 

I haven't made a blog post in a ridiculously long time, my sisters have been away at school and out of the country so it's been kinda hit and miss when I could get a decent picture.  But thanks to the help of my sister, we've revamped the blog a bit and hopefully I can get some more consistent posts.  Thanks for reading!

Hot Green

My favorite looks are those that require very little thought, I'm all about simplicity.  And with hot green shoes like these, I decided to let them do all the talking.  I rarely use the term neon, I like to refer to colors as hot, some of my friends find this weird.  I'm weird so it works.  This black top is my new favorite, I got it from Target for only $5, it was a random find which makes it even better.  It is a dressy spin on a v-neck tee, which makes it super versatile, I have been wearing it an insane amount.  Speaking of things I wear too much, I am once again guilty of wearing this black pencil skirt from Urban.  I just can't help myself.  I decided this was a good day for a bun and bright pink lipstick, I'm a sucker for the combo.  Of course I had fun prancing around like Career Barbie.

How could you have a bad day in these?

Black is my favorite color, some people think that's weird

Shoes on Shoes on Shoes on Shoes on Shoes

This post is dedicated to the mini shopping spree I had last month on Zara.com, in the span of two days I managed to order five pairs of shoes.  Some people might judge me, I would just say that I'm very talented.  Why am I talented?  Because I did not spend over $80 on these five pairs and these are some nice shoes, so let's all take a moment an applaud my accomplishment.  I enjoyed giving these babies a photo shoot, with looks like these how could I not capture their beauty?  I'm crazy, whatever.

These bad boys are sexxay

Love the contrast, also very comfy

Very cute and girly

ABSOLUTELY love these

Lovely

There you go, a whole post dedicated to my new lovers
