Fashion Friday: Day to Night

Hello! It always feels like Friday will never arrive when I’m drinking my Monday (or in this week’s case, Tuesday) morning coffee. But, here we are! Today I’m going to talk about transitioning an outfit from day to night. Over the Summer I feel like this is something imperative to learn. There are so many days that it’s so hot during the day and then cooler at night. Here’s what I wore over the weekend: Top: Nastygal, similar | Shorts: JBRAND, similar | Shoes: Dolce Vita PS. There’s nothing I hate more than the fact that I just placed an…

How To: Statement Necklace

Hi everyone! Wow, it doesn’t seem like Wednesday at all! Today I’m going to talk about statement necklaces, specifically, necklaces with color. I find myself always picking up inexpensive fun colorful statement necklaces and then coming home and trying to match them. While I shop, I always try to have something in mind that will match the necklace before I purchase it. Here’s my first look: Shirt: Splendid, similar | Necklace: Charming Charlie’s, similar, similar I saw this necklace and it instantly reminded me about this shirt! I couldn’t find an exact match online, but it is in stores now.…

Wait, it’s Tuesday?

I hope everyone who had a three day weekend enjoyed it! But, yes, it’s Tuesday, Monday’s slightly more attractive sibling. I chose the quote above because we just celebrated Memorial Day, a day to remember all those who fought for our county and did not make it home. I wont get more into it than that, because I know it was all over the internet this weekend. It’s just important that we remember why we get these three day weekends.

Hello Everyone! Not only is it Friday, but it’s the Friday before a three day weekend. Aka one of the best long weekends of the year, MDW.

Top: Nasty Gal, similar, similar | Shorts: Loft, similar | Shoes: Guess, similar | Bag: Chanel, similar | Belt: Hermes, similar I feel like I’ve been seeing a lot of lace and polka dots this season. They are very…

How To: Fun Earring

Summer is the perfect time to start adding in statement pieces into your jewelry collection. It’s also a great time to experiment with bigger “fun” earrings. It was hard for me at first to wear large earrings. I always used to wear diamond studs; it was literally all I wore for quite some time. I first started wearing fun earrings when I found myself constantly admiring them on other people. I also started to feel like my outfits sometimes needed some color, or were missing something, and I couldn’t necessarily fix it with a necklace. So comes the fun earring. These…

Just another Manic Monday..

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Are you ready for Monday? I’m most certainly drinking a LARGE cup of coffee as I write this. I chose the quote above to start today because change is such an important part of life. Usually, change is thought of as difficult. A new job, a new school, a new policy, dealing with loss, a difficult situation that changes your life, an illness you have no choice but to deal with. I think it’s human nature to fight these changes, to hold on to what we already know. Today, I challenge you to…
