Grad Party Hopping: Day One

As my high school career ends with graduation just a couple days away, the ever famous 'grad party weekend' commences. 

Jumping from party to party. Sipping iced tea and nibbling on cheese and crackers. Chit-chatting with parents and extended family of peers. The weekend is full of awkward small talk and sweet dessert tables. 

It's important to have a comfortable yet stylish outfit to hop from party to party in. Since I'm not particularly a plain dress kind of girl, I went for a shorts suit combo for a smart look.

The linen shorts kept the outfit summery while the crochet top and blazer added interest to the monochrome outfit. The heels added much needed height for talking to parents, but I also needed to break them in for graduation. 

Keep a look out tomorrow for the next 'grad party weekend' post.

Cue the very long apology with many explanations and excuses... Well, I am sorry for not updating these past weeks. It's been stressful with exams and getting into shape for summer. I haven't been really inspired in a while so I chose not to post outfits I wasn't in love with.

This all changed when I started pinning all denim ensembles. I just love the Canadian Tuxedo look that Justin Timberlake made so famous at the 2001 AMAs with Brittany Spears. 

Now I know plenty of magazine articles that say never to match the same color denim together; but, you know me.. I always love to break the rules. 

Since this is a spring/summer trend, I only got to try it out today when the weather was mild... but snow still remains on the ground. Ugh. 

Hope you all had a wonderful valentines day, I know I did. I will try to keep the posts more constant, just be on the look out.

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.

Merry Christmas to all my readers; I hope you are having a well-deserved rest before the new year beings. I wanted to share my newest addition to my fast-growing collection of ankle boots. I don't know why, but lately I have just fallen in love with the style and look of them. Ankle boots can dress down a fancy outfit and dress up a sloppy one.

 This pair was my main Christmas present from my parents and I'm so grateful for them. I ordered them from ssense on sale. Only thing is I got them the day after Christmas because of all the trouble UPS and FedEx had before the holidays-- no worries though. 

I chose this light blueish-grey color because it stood out to me and I think I could pair a lot of black clothes with it (hehe). The almost pastel color of them will be an easy transition into spring. I just have to be extra careful with them because of the suede material. 

Any good recommendations for a suede protectant/cleaner?

Twas the last week of school before winter break, so I decided to wear some pieces that haven't seen the outside of my closet in a while. This Zara white skort is not something I consider a winter item. However, I felt appropriate paring it with all black. I felt very mod today wearing all black with a pop of white. Someone pointed out to me that my skort looked like a napkin... which surprisingly it does. 

As the week carries on, I'm getting excited to go to Miami to see my grandparents over break. Hopefully the weather will be warm because it can get pretty windy there in the winter...maybe you'll see a summery outfit including this skort, if the weather permits. 

What are you doing for the holidays?

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.

James Blake Concert

Last night my friend and I decided to go see James Blake perform at the 9:30 club. I'm not a die-hard James Blake fan, but I did know most of the songs played. 

What I didn't realize from listening to the album is how much electronic music is in his songs. I thought it was going to be him singing with some music is the back, but actually his voice supplemented the music played. 

I've never been to a show like that since I mostly like organic music, but I thought it was enjoyable. I only wish he sang more because his voice is beautiful. 

It was cold and we took the metro, so I wore something only semi revealing.

Again, sorry for the poor camera quality- I can't lug around my DSLR to concerts and night outings. I'm trying to figure out a solution for this problem.

1 year Anniversary

This past Tuesday was my 1 year anniversary with my boyfriend. We actually didn't plan anything until last minute because our schedules have been so hectic with school and other activities. I had a gift card to a Brazilian steak house in D.C. called Foco de Chao. We have both been to Brazilian steak houses so we knew the interesting dining experience already.

This outfit was totally last minute, but I think it worked out well. All black is easy for a event or dinner where you don't have time to plan an outfit. Sorry the photos are poor quality and uncreative. There was no little photo shoot that night, so these were the only pictures I had.
