Fashion Friday- Summer Casual

Summer is a time to relax and have fun with your friends and family. Below is my everyday look in the summer: simple t-shirt or tank and a pair of shorts. These pieces are so easy to put on and I feel put together even if I'm in a hurry. 

The key to pulling off this look, and not seem as if you rolled out of bed, is a well made t-shirt and shorts that fit you till about mid thigh. Anything shorter will look sloppy. Same goes for the shoes, rubber flip flops are not going to pull the look together; however, an embellished flip flop or sandal would. 

White T-Shirt: H&M

White Cami: Forever21

Army Green Shorts: Delia's

Brown Studded Sandals: Payless

Tuesday- FIT Graduation

For the past month, I haven't been keeping up with my blog and I was so upset that I had to put it aside for the time being. All of May I have been working on finals projects, papers, and Final Exams! However, all of this proved to be worth it because on May 21st I graduated from College! I attended the Fashion Institute of Technology for 3 years and finally have gotten my Associates Degree in Fashion Merchandising and Management. Now I could go on and tell you all the hardships I went through to get my degree but, instead I'm going to share some of my pictures from that day with you.

After what felt like the longest car ride of my life (only 2 hours), we made it to the Javits Center in NYC where my graduation was held. I was surrounded by my family who have helped me he most during my time at school. I also graduated with my best friends and could not have asked for a better day.

Unfortunately, I have no pictures of me in my dress without my gown on as well. I will most likely be doing another post about my outfit soon.

Thank you

Tuesday- Steal her Look: Candice Swanepoel

Candice's everyday style is very classic and laid back. Plus, she always looks put together. Considering she's a model, would we expect anything less? I love how she is only using basics in neutral colors to create this look. Because all of these pieces are basics, the look can be transformed from a day look to a night look with just a switch of accessories. This style of skirt looks good on every body type and you can change the shirt to something a little looser if you are wanting to hide something. 

White Silk T-shirt: Joe Fresh

Rust Textured Skirt: H&M

Brown Sandals: Target

Grey Wallet: Target

Brown Sunglasses: Forever21

Thank you.

Tuesday- Met Gala 2015

The Metropolitan Museum of Art hosted it's Costume Institute Gala 2015 on May 4th. This is a huge fashion inspired event that many people from the industry attend. Each year the Met hosts the Gala to showcase their new Fashion Exhibit. This years theme/exhibit is "China: Through the Looking Glass".

Everyone in the industry gears up to see who will be wearing the best and craziest fashions of the night, all inspired this year by oriental fashion. Some people went very literal and others went more laid back with their interpretations. Here are some of my favorite looks...

Georgia May Jagger

Jennifer Lawrence

Sarah Jessica Parker

Bee Shaffer

Emily Blunt

Rihanna

Jennifer Lopez

Cara Delevingne

Tuesday- My Week In Instagrams

April has been a pretty relaxed month for me compared to what May will be bringing. I thought it would be nice to share my Instagram pictures for the past week with you so you can see what I'm up to. I went NY for school, started redecorating my room, cuddled with my dog, and spent some time soaking in the nice weather.

I can't wait to share with you everything happening in May. Most notable... I'm graduating, so expect tons of pictures! 

Thank you

Fashion Friday- Spring 2015 Clothing Haul

When the weather started to get warmer I realized something, I have nothing to wear! Alright, that might be a bit dramatic. Sure, I have lots of clothes; however, they are all basics. I was looking in my closet and did not see any eye catching pieces. Over the past couple of weeks I have been picking up clothing that I can wear through Spring and Summer. I went to H&M and Old Navy to browse their racks and came away with some great pieces.


From H&M, I purchased two sleeveless button downs in a sheer fabric, a sleeveless floral print crop top with crochet at the bottom, a white short sleeve eyelet crop top, and a white skater skirt.

At Old Navy, I purchased a navy print skirt that can be worn at your natural waist or hips, a pair of the Rockstar super stretch skinny jeans (which are the comfiest jeans I've ever worn), and a mint print sleeveless v-neck shirt. 

When I was looking through all the clothing I tried to think of what outfits I could make from what I already owned and within my new purchases. I think I have a few cute outfits and I can't wait to wear them throughout the coming months. 

Thank you

Thoughtful Thursday- Impossible Till It's Done

Source

This week has proved to be a struggle. School has kicked back in in full swing! I only have One month left but it's going to kick my butt. I have so many projects to do and papers to write. I'm going to pull myself together the best that I can and get this all done. Right now it may not seem like I will accomplish everything, but I have always finished my work in the past. 

Hopefully, This saying will stick with you whenever you have times where it seems that you can not accomplish something. 

Thank you,

Tuesday- Children's: Spring 2015 Clothing

I'm passionate about all aspects of fashion, whether it's women's, men's or children's fashion. More recently, I've been starting to obsess over children's fashion.

Thoughtful Thursday- Be Silly

Source

If there is one thing I've learned from working with young kids, it's to have fun. Kids are so honest, carefree, and curious. They have no worries in the world. I have tried to take on a bit of this personality in the sense of being silly and joking around whenever I can. It's puts me in such a great mood to let loose. When I saw this quote I was super excited because it's everything I've been trying to do recently in my life. 

I hope you will also start thinking like a child and enjoy life more.

Thank you

Tuesday- Steal Her Look: Rosie & Kate

After seeing pictures of Rosie Huntington Whiteley and Kate Bosworth in the Coach Tent at Coachella, I was obsessed. They both looked so chic and radiant. I love how they both pair white shirts with fun mini skirts. I think it's a classic look that can be played around with!

Thoughtful Thursday- Work Hard

Source

These past two weeks have been a time for me to relax and catch up on my life. I was on Spring Break the week before Easter and this week I'm slowly getting back into all my school work. With my time off I was getting to enjoy the little things in life that I sometimes take for granted. The weather was amazing in the 60s, the plants started to bloom, and I actually took a look around me at the wonderful city I was spending lots of my time in. 

I usually head to New York on the train, get out of the station, head right for school, then right back to the train station. I never let myself see where I am. Sure I notice changes like stores or billboards, but I don't really take in that I'm back in the city that I love so much. I have certainly spent more time taking in my surroundings this week and it was well worth it!

I have a new found love in the work I'm putting out on here. I have fully committed to not being upset with myself if I don't get a post out everyday. I much rather only put out a few great posts than a bunch of mediocre posts. I am so excited to work even harder on my blog in the Spring and Summer months, as I hope the warmer weather will help my inspiration. 

Thank you
