Cool & Casual

Over the holiday my family and I went to the Philadelphia Christmas Village, it was great if I had gotten this up sooner

 I'd say go, it is now closed -- there's always next year!

I wanted to keep it casual but still have some fun with the look.

Denim blue jeans, for me, are central to a casual and effortless look; add a pair of ankle boots like the pointed ones I'm sporting to take it up a notch. 

For the top, I went for a pajama-inspired top its casual in the right ways (loose fit, comfy, easy to work with) but still 

looks put together. Throw on a long trench style jacket to tie 

the look together. 

I love this jacket because it can be dressed down or up.

 It keeps me warm without the bulkiness.

Star Spangled Dress

 Star Spangled Dress

For a night on the town you can't go wrong with a 

LBD(little black dress) but spice it up with a fun print.

After Tommy Hilfiger's 2015 Spring show that was oh so Rock and Roll,star prints have been making appearances every where.

And for good reason. The print gives any look a fun and fresh take. Not to mention you can't help but feel like a rockstar while sporting a star spangled look.

Something like this would make the perfect go-to holiday party dress. Asos.com and BooHoo.com have a few options as well as Ralph Lauren.

You know those shoes that you slip 

on without even thinking about it. 

The grab and go pair that can be 

spotted on your feet like 80% of the time.

Well these are mine...

The ankle boots are a recent buy from JustFab. I mentioned in my last post my initial aversion to the pointed toe style. However whilst online window shopping

 I couldn't help but fall in love.

Needless to say they have become a 

staple piece in my closet. They 

are easier to style than I thought 

they would be, it can give any laid

 back a polished sort of edgy look!

The Converse on the other had are definitely ole reliable.

Comfy and classic yet worn in 

enough to be edgy-ish.

Ready or not the hot weather is here and its time to show a little bit of skin.

I was thrilled to finally be able to wear these velvet shorts that I scored ON SALE in like the beginning of winter. I've worn them before throughout the winter with stockings or long socks but having the velvet texture in the spring/summer is a nice twist. Honestly, that is why I bought them hahha. To keep with the "unexpected texture" I paired it with my leather top from the "Recent Buys" post. Since I was going to lunch with my mom and I didn't want to be showing too much skin I threw on an over-sized denim  jacket.

For me summer means I get to be more adventurous with my outfits. I'm not sure why but once it gets warm I feel so inspired and daring to try anything -style wise. 

So make a vow to yourself this summer to try new looks you've had your eye on and let me know how it goes. Show me some of you're favorite looks!

Handkerchief

Handkerchief? 

I have been on the fence about using a handkerchief/bandanna 

(which ever you prefer I have gotten into some heated discussions over the correct term hahha) as an accessory. I have seen some people pull it off very well and others not so much. But I took a chance! and I really liked it. It will probably be a summer trademark for me when I don't want to be bother by necklaces.

Since I was being a bit bold with that I wanted to keep the rest of my outfit simple. Insert black shorts, purse, and my fave cut-out boots. To make the handkerchief stand out I went with a cream colored knit sweater that I distressed a bit.  

I don't wear this shirt often because it fits weird but I thought the distressed knit would add a nice touch.

Hint of Pastel

Hint of Pastel

I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter Weekend. I celebrated with my family at the "Sweetest Place on Earth" Hershey,PA! This area is very quaint and happy hahha I love visiting.

It was nice but a tad chilly with the wind so layering was key! This blue bag is one of my favorites for traveling because its so big and the color is just great. I added the pink scarf for warmth/more pastel loveliness hahha.

Took a little boot selfie with my sister/photographer. These black ankle boots with a snakeskin pattern came in last week from Public Desire. I had to wait forever for them to come in since they were coming from the UK but the wait was worth it. They are super comfy and add an edge to any outfit!

Knits and Cuts

Knits & Cuts

After weeks of below freezing ugliness and having to bundle up yesterday was quite warm and I loved it! I brought out my favorite cutout ankle boots from the back of the closet to finish this casual edgy look perfect for a day of school and errands. 

I got these ankle boots from an online website called Urbango last spring. They comfy but have a slight heel that gives any outfit an edge.

The jeans are from Forever 21 (I'm trying to steer clear from that store for ethical reasons but I still have clothes from there that I don't intend on throwing away)

I have no clue where my sweater is from. My jacket was a gift from my mom and I distressed it myself. A lot of what I look for in clothes is how edgy they look and that is what I get from this jacket.

Stay tuned for more outfit inspo!

Wishlist

Wishlist

I thought I'd put together a little "wish list" of things I am wanting to get recently. I figure it's a way for me to keep track of what I need to get when I go shopping. This way I don't have a ton of impulse buys and actually get the things I really want.(this happens all the time! hahha) I hope you guys enjoy this (:

1.) Topshop White Pleated Midi Skirt

 I love the pretty/edgy look. Pairing this with a pair of combat boots and a faux fur jacket or even a leather one would make for such a cute outfit and perfect for winter.

2.) Blue ASOS Bag *COULD NOT FIND THE LINK*  

A pop of color bag is essential for my wardrobe, mainly because I tend to wear a lot of neutral colors BLACK hahha. It's fun to have that POP especially in the winter when days can be so dreary. Blue, I think, is probably one of the easiest colors to work. 

3.) Cara Delevingne's Mulberry Bag 

Ever since news broke of this collab during London Fashion week last year I have been dying to get my hands on one. She has a whole collection of bags that are a great mix of Cara style and Mulberry tradition. My personal fav is the one shown above. The lion rivets! Although it is a very far fetched dream being that the bag is over a thousand dollars and I am a student I absolutely adore this bag.

4.) Berlin Street Style

 (you can find this on Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, and Walmart carries it online)

Street style is incredibly inspiring when you have no clue what to wear hence why blogs exist and thrive. This book is all about Berlin Street Style there is also a Paris Street Style that I want to get. Beautycrush mentioned them in one of videos and since I have been wanted to add them to my tiny collection of books.

5.) Topshop Leather Jacket
This needs little explaining hahha, it's just one of those staple pieces every one should have. I have been looking for a good quality one with the right price tag. There is one similar to the one shown for about $50 also at Topshop.

6.) H&M Oxford Striped Button Down
This shirt with a pair of distressed jeans makes for the perfect effortlessly cute outfit.

7.) Public Desire Remi Ankle Boots
I have had my eyes on these for awhile they are have this edgy look to them that I love. I cannot wait to create a bunch of looks with them...stay tuned for that!

8.) Topshop Leather Joggers
Comfy + cool leather texture! what is there not to love hahha

9.) Joe Fresh Shirt Dress
I have an oversized white button down that I recently wore as a dress with leggings and it is one of my favorite looks now so why not get it in black. (:
