New Years Outfit

top: j. crew factory // skirt: j. crew // heels: h&m (similar) // ring: bauble bar // bracelet: bauble bar

Something about pink and navy and sequins just makes this outfit feel so right to wear to ring in the New Year... maybe because it's my three favorite things all in one!

What will you be wearing on New Years?

Christmas Cheer

After receiving my camera for Christmas I shot maybe four outfit posts in one day... To say I'm obsessed is an understatement.

My cousin and I bundled up (or at least I did...) and had a bit too much fun taking pictures. Aren't my mittens whaley cute? ;)

 

On Me: ASOS Coat // Vineyard Vines Gloves (Similar) // Hunter Boots

On cHc: Frocket // Hunter Boots

Christmas in Cashmere

I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas with lots of family, food, and a few gifts here and there... My favorite gift has to have been my new Nikon D3100 which I loved playing with all day yesterday!

My family celebrates in our pajamas, but I still feel I should look a little presentable. I pulled out my favorite J. Crew pajamas and cashmere sweater for snaps in front of the 13 foot tall tree!

  

How was your Christmas?

#tbt to fall

One day of exams down, two to go! Here's a fun little out-take from an outfit post I did a few months ago... Something about messy hair + distressed jeans + converse makes me feel like I'm cool or something (ha, kidding). If your interested in my hair routine see that post {here}, but I literally just wash it and let it air dry for this style!

xoxo

PS- Do I look hipster? eJm will probably think I'm crazy for saying that but I think this outfit is kind of totally hipster... or maybe that's because I'm used to all J. Crew everything?

Oh, Christmas Tree

Happy Monday! Sorry I've been MIA... With exams in (eep!) only two days, I've been super busy studying and haven't had much time for blogging. On the bright side, we put up our Christmas tree last night and I found a little time to share a few pictures...

Our tree isn't as full and big this year as it usually is, but I think we did a really nice job of hanging the ornaments this year! I love decorating our tree as we listen to Christmas music and load our tree with lights and ornaments! I really like the way we decorate because we don't overflow our tree with ornaments and the selection is usually more classic rather than random little finds, something I really like...

How do you decorate your tree?

Thanksgiving Style

eJm and I always take my outfit post pictures at her house because she has this phobia of letting her camera leave her house... But, I'm not complaining! How cute is her living room and how well does it complement my outfit? 

sweater: loft // skirt: asos (last seen here) // pumps: aldo

I bought these heels a few weeks ago because I was modeling in a fashion show, and let me tell you, by the time that was over I almost cried my feet hurt so bad! I feel they just take a little getting used to though- this is my first pair of 4 and a quarter inch heels!! On the other hand, this sweater/skirt combo is so easy and comfortable! Although I do have a few options, this could be a possibility for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow night!

Burgundy

 

As Thanksgiving quickly approaches I thought it would only be appropriate to incorporate a little Fall color into an outfit post. I recently bought this sweater and I am obsessed. Did I ever mention how much I love the whole sparkle cluster trend? When I saw this sweater I knew I had to have it.. it's funny because burgundy is one of the polo color options for my school uniform and I never even considered trying it out... 

Review: The Ropes Maine

Shana from The Ropes Maine was kind enough to send me a few bracelets to review… how cute is this one I styled? I'm obsessed! The bracelets are super unique and colorful; I can't get enough of mine!

5 of My Favorite Hairstyles

{Shoutout to Chloe for telling me I have great hair and inspiring this post #dwc}

I really like my hair, like I'm not even going to lie. I didn't name my blog after my hair color for no reason, I really do like my hair. Unfortunately, I'm pretty uncreative and I wear my hair in a routine of basic styles.. Here are my favorites:

One braid // A simple as it sounds, a braid can be so chic. I, being the unskilled person that I am, can't french braid for my life, so I love that a regular braid can be pulled off just as well. Tousle your hair a little and you're good to go! So easy...

Tousled Ponytail // TBH this is like my favorite hairstyle everrrr... I'm pretty much obsessed. My trick for achieving this hair style is to put myhair in a low ponytail and then tighten it the way kids do in second grade (aka pull both of the sides so it's yanked up) and then tada! Sometimes I get a funky giant loop in the middle of my head but it usually works out if I keep pulling and teasing...

Topknot // I don't wear my hair in topknots too often out in public, but they're super easy and just kind of fun to do! I loved wearing them in the summer to get my hair off my neck.. they're just fun!!

Half up- half down //  You probably all think I'm lazy because my hairstyles are mostly all two step processes. In this case, step 1. pick your front pieces and step 2. put them in a little ponytail. Haha this one is probably my most often worn style.

Just down // I don't usually do this because I have a weird sort of cowlick in the front of my hair so it always falls in my face, but sometimes I love being simple and doing nothing with myself!

How do you wear your hair?

PS- In case you are wondering, I don't do anything to my hair to get it like how it looks in the last picture (or any of the pictures in fact!). That is how it is naturally after it air dries from a shower! I don't even brush it... is that weird?

Fur

I want a fur. Like, I really just want a fur vest or scarf or snood or maybe even a jacket if I just went crazy. I tried on {this} Ugg sheepskin vest but I wasn't really down for paying $1,000 although the comfort was almost unreal... Here are a few of my favorites:

la fiorentina ($200) // steve madden ($50)

topshop ($130) // jack ($70)

Do you have a fur?? If so, where is it from or where do you suggest I find one?

BCBG

I did a little shopping this weekend and found myself trying on a whole bunch of BCBGeneration and BCBGMazazria clothes... although I didn't purchase any of them, the fall collections are really cute!!

I tried on this sweater, but unfortunately it was a little too small and they didn't have the next size up. It was a huge bummer because this is such a good price for something so versatile!

I saw this as I was walking out of the store yesterday, but I love it and might just have to back for it! I'm in love with those elbow patches!

I loved this top. I tried it on and it was so comfortable, but honestly it made me look a little fat because it's kind of tight but very stretchy!

Have you made any BCBG purchases recently?

xoxo

Fall Playlist

I've been listening to music lately more than I usually do... maybe it's because I've been going on more jogs or simply because I press play on my iPhone when I'm just sitting at my desk, which isn't something I usually do. Or... maybe it's because I've finally found a good mix of songs that I love!

I've finally caught onto the trend and I am obsessed with Lorde! Team is probably my favorite song by her, with Tennis Court a close second. It's so weird to think she is basically my age, yet so talented! On another hand, Riptide is my favorite song on here. You must listen to it if you haven't yet!

xoxo

PS- No school today! Wahoo!

Stripes

The leaves have fallen but the temperatures have not! I love wearing my converse and I couldn't resist stealing this top when I shot outfit posts with cYa the other day!
