Back To Basics

Chanel Classic Mini Flap // We The Free Top // Vintage Denim // Madewell Sandals // Ray Ban Sunnies // Anthropologie Necklace //

Quick little outfit post for you all. My close friend is visiting me for a week, which means I have a minion to take photos for my outfit posts.

We just had a chill shopping day so I chose some basics (white top and denim shorts) and layered on the gold accessories as I like to do. My style is so boring lately, but I'm really enjoying the plain normcore/ laid-back style. Literally, I wear a white shirt and denim everyday... Maybe I'll try to switch it up for you guys.

I'm finally a high school graduate. I feel like I've been talking about it forever, but yes. It's finally done and over with. 

Now it's time to fully enjoy summer vacation.

Spring & Summer Essentials: What's In My Bag

I'm celebrating my 100th post by showing you my spring & summer essentials and the things I'm loving at the moment.

1. Bandeau bikini tops are a must for me during summer because I cannot stand tan lines on my chest. I don't need a lot of support in the chest department, so I can get away with wearing them 24/7 in the summer. 
2. I'm also loving these Aid Through Trade beaded bracelets because they come in tons of colors and sparkle in the light. They're  inexpensive and the money is going to a good cause.
3. I always need lotion and lip balm so it's a given that they're included in my essentials. I'm really loving this black pepper & ginger scent from Antiguan Aromas and the Fresh Sugar Rosé lip balm.
4. Of course I need my electronics such as iPhone 5, Polaroid camera, and bluetooth MP3 player to keep me occupied by the pool.
5.  Aside from electronics, like to do a bit of reading to entertain me. I'm really interested in fashion and style books naturally, but I really enjoy reading fiction as well. I'm currently reading the first Game of Thrones book because I love the TV series so much.
6. Lastly, I protect myself from the sun with some SPF 75 and my polarized Ray Ban Club Master II.  

I tote everything around in this vintage woven market bag. It adds the perfect amount of casualness to any outfit.

Springtime Stroll

J. Crew Top // Bull Head Denim // Superga Shoes // Gap Denim Jacket // 

Since it's my last week in the DMV until the end of April I wanted to go into D.C. and be a bit of a tourist. 

I thought the Cherry Blossoms would have bloomed a little since the ones in my neighborhood have; however, I was wrong and they were still only little buds. 

It was still a gorgeous day even without the blossoms and I had a nice little stroll around the Tidal Basin. I'm so glad spring his here, it truly is the greatest season. What better way to celebrate it with color blocking (not pictured is a mint green purse).

Now I'm off for France, I can't wait to share all the wonderful sights, decadent food, and fabulous outfits along the way.

Soludos for spring

Ahhh, spring is in the air. Well, there's still snow melting on the ground, but for the time being we have warm weather. 

Today was perfect for debuting my new Soludos. I bought them for my upcoming trip to France (which I am so excited about), but I figured I would wear them before to break them in. 

I think I'll need a shoe insert for them because they don't have much support for my flat feet. I do like how they are very casual and summery. I opted for the canvas derby model with the laces because I already have toms. They do come in some cute colors and prints, but I decided to leave those for my next pair.

I hope all my East Coasters and enjoying this nice weather. I can't wait for more days like this to come.

All White On The Beach

 

The first week of the new year I'm currently spending down in South Beach. My grandparents live close by so it's an easy destination for my family. Sadly, the weather hasn't been ideal for Miami, but it is way better than the 23 degree weather at home.

The grey weather does compliment my all-white ensemble perfectly, if I do say so myself. In the first picture my pose is very Chiara Ferragni  isn't it?

I hope your first week of the year is going well. Stay tuned, yet again, for my new year's resolution post. I have come up with my resolution, but I need to think about how I'm going to frame it in a post.

Put-Together-Cozy

Sorry for the radio silence this past week. It's been so cold and rainy that I haven't been inspired to create any note-worthy looks. The awful weather has made me want to stay inside all warm and dry, so I decided to shoot this look in my living room that I find really peaceful and cozy. 

This outfit is a simple comfortable one that is perfect for thanksgiving dinner if you need to look presentable in front of your extended family. Dressing up a pair of leggings is my favorite thing to do during the colder months because they are just so damn comfortable, yet I still like to keep it somewhat fashionable with suede boots and a printed tee. 

I always have a tradition of reading a book over Thanksgiving break. This year I'm reading Alexa Chung's It. Also, my family and I always go out and see the new Twilight movies together, but now that it's over we are seeing Catching Fire. Do you have any holiday traditions?

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American readers, stay warm.
