Chiffon and Lace





Top: Target | Skirt: Urban Outfitters | Shoes: Target | Necklace: J.Crew | Bracelets: J.Crew | Rings: J.Crew, F21


Lately I've been all about being comfortable but still looking polished and put together. But it's not like that's some fashion secret, I'm sure that's what most people aim for when getting dressed. Since I've been trying to shop my closet, I've had fun mixing and matching pieces. The ballerina in me still loves the combination of black and pink, I probably always will.

I'm With The Band




 T-Shirt: Cold War Kids | Skirt: Urban Outfitters | Shoes: Nine West | Bag: Kate Spade 


Over the years I have collected quite a few concert t-shirts and in college I wore them all the time.  I've noticed that I haven't been wearing them much lately, not even on weekends or to rehearsal.  I decided to wear one of my favorite pieces of memorabilia; I got this shirt at my second Cold War Kids concert, I've been to three total.  Yes, I've seen them three times, the first was at Hendrix and the second two times were in Memphis.  I absolutely love The Cold War Kids, it may sound weird but I can feel their music in my soul. This was also my first day using the tripod again, there's definitely a learning curve but I'm working on it.

Ice, Ice, Baby






Dress: Forever 21 | Shoes: Aldo | Necklace: Prabal Gurung for Target | Bag: Urban Outfitters | Bracelets: J.Crew | Earrings: Kate Spade

I'm kind of in love with the whole lucite trend, especially when it comes to jewelry and shoes. I meandered into Aldo this weekend and these shoes instantly caught my attention, not to mention there was an extra 30% off the sale price.  Before I even payed for them, I was already creating looks in my head.  I decided to let the shoes and the necklace speak for themselves and opt for a little black dress.  This was a simple yet fun look that I love!  Have you tried the lucite trend?

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.

Casual Monday







Dress: Target | Belt: J.Crew | Shoes: Kimchi Blue, Urban Outfitters | Bag: Steve Madden | Necklace: Bauble Bar | Earrings: Kate Spade| Bracelets: J.Crew 

In college I would always say, "it's almost Friday," even on Mondays.  I was always looking for the weekend; things are no different now, except I usually want to sleep the entire weekend.  I woke up thinking "it's almost Friday," or at least I was wishing.  Since, I somehow ended up turning off my alarms (inappropriate), I was very glad that that I'd picked out something cool and casual to wear, nothing that required a lot of fuss.  Also, I tried but couldn't resist this bag; I've been loving the neutral & neon trend and this is my first buy that combines the two palettes.  I like it because it's on trend but still has some classic elements.

A Little Lace






Dress: ASOS | Shoes: Nicole Miller | Bracelets: FIVE AND TWO

I have had this dress for a very long time, I believe I ordered it in November and somehow I'm just now getting around to wearing it, what a shame.  I have a love affair with shift dresses, they’re the perfect shape and ridiculously comfortable.

Check out my sister's traditional garb that she got while in Senegal for nine weeks.
