Outfit 24.

Hi everyone!
So sorry I haven't been around, this summer has been so crazy. I'm finally done with my summer classes and I'll be starting my Fall semester in a week or so, unfortunately. But! Otakon was a huge success, everything went swimmingly. No complaints, just good times. I'm content, I just went shopping today at Free People today with my mom and I couldn't help but literally look at everything that was in the store! I've been working at Anthropologie for almost 6 months now and that was my first time ever shopping there, which sounds crazy (especially for me LOL). Anyways, here's what I ended up purchasing, I definitely need to go back when it gets a little cooler out and buy some sweaters and things like that, because they were still mid-summer with the apparel. Oh! also, it was employee appreciation still so I got my 40% off of everything, which was another bonus (; my mom was happy about that also.

1) The first thing I ended up buying are sweater leggings and they have an elastic waistband which are $68.


2) Next, I bought a grey colored lace "slip" or tank top with lace insert and a ruffled hem which is $88 dollars.

3) Lastly, I bought this amazing skirt. Something I definitely know I have nothing like in my wardrobe. It's an semi-cropped skirt that is a dark red and it has a hem with a print on it. It's $68.


Well, I just figured I'd update everyone and see how you are all doing and I hope you all survived the hurricane with no problems (: Hope you're all doing well, I can't wait for Fall! I hope you're all as excited as I am! Take care

Update.

Hi everybody!
So sorry I haven't updated in awhile, my summer has been crazy hectic. I began another summer class, so I've been consumed with that nonsense. My summer is going okay, I hope you're all enjoying yourselves and relaxing. I haven't really thought of any interesting outfits to post so I figured I'd do a little post about thrift shopping - one of my favorite hobbies. I recently discovered a few new stores in a town near where I live, they are really great. My mom also found this place in the same time and what they call it is a "trading post" where basically, you sell clothes to the store and they give you money for your clothes and then they essentially re-sell them in the store. Which is really awesome, but at this certain post it's all mainly designer clothes (vintage mostly). It's really great, I have yet to go because the one day that I was in town and planned on going it turned out that they were closed. I was very disappointed, to say the least. BUT - no fear I ended up going into another shop and bought this awesome plaid hat box that I'm going to use as luggage for $30. It was seriously such a steal! That's a picture of what it looks like. Anyways, I figured I'd just do a little update because I haven't been posting anything! Miss you all, hope you're doing okay! Take care.

Hi everyone!
It's almost summertime, and sadly I have to take a summer class :( but! that's okay because it's only during the beginning of the summer. I went into work today and the last time I had worked was a day or two before Easter so I decided to splurge a little and buy a new Easter dress from work, which I'm so glad that I had! I'm going to keep this entry simple.
Here's the dress I bought/wore today to work. I have to say it is probably one of the most flattering dresses I have ever bought. Everyone loved it, including my boyfriend. (Our 2 year anniversary is this saturday!) I'm very happy about that. Anyways, this dress is $148. Although it happens to be very expensive, I know that it was worth it. I feel as though it is important to have a few items in your wardrobe that are pieces that are a little more than you were willing to pay.. because you know that you'll wear them. I wore them with black cut out lace shoes that are patent leather. But there are so many other options you could do with this dress, I don't even know where to begin. Well I hope you are all beginning to enjoy the warm weather! Take care (:

Outfit 22.

Hi everyone!
So many things have been going on, it's safe to say that I don't work for Forever 21 anymore I am now working for Anthropologie (which is one of the sister stores of Urban Outfitters). I have been there for a few weeks now, and since it's almost summertime I'm almost done with my second semester being a fashion major! It's really great, I'm super happy. I apologize for not updating recently. I hope you're all doing okay, patiently awaiting the sun to make a come back and for it to stay. I'm in the mood to talk about spring, I've been seeing so many things recently that have caught my eye! So let's start off with a few of my favorite things for this spring :

First things first, is bright colors have made a come back! Doesn't it just make you smile seeing all the bright colors everywhere?


Next on my list of Spring trends, is lace. It's my new favorite thing (besides bows... of course), I feel as though there's so much you can do with it and there's so many ways to wear it. Here are a few of my favorites from the runway. (left to right- Chanel, Oscar de la Renta, BCBG Max Azria)


After lace, it's prints prints prints! Especially ethnic ones, they are H-U-G-E right now. I'm a huge fan of it, always have been. I really feel like it isn't going anywhere either. Here are a few of my favorites from the runway. (from left to right- Topshop Unique, Jean Paul Gaultier, Alexander McQueen)


I'm so excited for Spring, I love watching the runway shows on style.com and seeing what's new from all the designers. I love so many of the trends right now. I'll be sure to update soon!

Why You Got All That Power?

Hi everyone!
I'd just like to start off by saying I really enjoy this new font, haha. Anyways, I've recently heard Kanye West's new album which is his self titled "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy " and I know so many people are going to hate me for saying this... but I personally love Kanye. I believe he is one of the most successful and talented artists out there right now. I honestly cannot stop listening to it, I knew the moment I heard Elton John on the album that I would be obsessed with it. Kanye wouldn't be who he is without his confidence. Not only Elton John, but Bon Iver too. I just believe that no matter what, he constantly sticks to himself and what he believes in. With this being said, music is one of the most important things to me. It means a lot to me, I get really excited when artists that I really enjoy come out with good albums, and I want people to be able to hear about good music, from talented artists.
Not only Kanye's new album, but I've also been obsessed with Arcade Fire's new album "The Suburbs" as well. I wasn't always into them, but the more I listen to them... the more I find myself dancing in my car and singing along. They recently performed on SNL. They were fa nominal. I believe that music is a way certain people express themselves, I also feel that way about fashion. To me, fashion and music are one in the same. Without one, I wouldn't be the same person I am today. With this all being said, I hope you can check this out and be encouraged to express yourself and check out what I've been listening to lately and I hope you enjoy it also. I've also decided, I'm going to try and update on here with more music I've been listening to also. (:



Happy Blogging!

Outfit 21.

Hi everyone!
How was your thanksgivings? I'm so excited for Christmas time, it's my favorite time of year. I cannot believe how quickly the time is going by, so crazy. I hope you all have started your holiday shopping! I know I have (: Anyways, this outfit is just one of the many that I have been meaning to post on here. I've been so crazy between midterms, black Friday weekend and just everything else.
By the way the NEW Forever 21 in the Freehold Raceway mall is now open!!!! <-- big deal. Anyways, to start off.. I wore a basic, fold over olive green a-line skirt from Forever 21 for only $9.50, I wore basic black stockings as well. For my top, I wore a Marc by Marc Jacobs t-shirt, it has a shark on it... I love it. And for my shoes, I wore my Forever 21 booties with the studs on the fold of the shoe. This outfit was very comfortable, and I felt very cute in it. As you all know, you make the outfit, the outfit doesn't make you. I hope you're all doing well! I'll be sure to try and update soon. Sorry again for not posting any sooner (:
Toodles!
