PERFECT NECESSITIES

I LOVE STRIPES!  Like many people, stripes are the basis of my wardrobe. My collection is ever growing, but any time I come across a new piece of striped perfection, I have to get it. However, this is one addiction I am happy to keep alive!
I simply adore the above outfit! It is a modern take on the classics with a little twist. The drop-waist gives a little bit of flair to the dress while the flats add the perfect pop of color. Classic cardigans are an essential for any wardrobe; this one from J. Crew is the perfect luxe option. Can I just remark on how perfect the tortoise bangle and bucket bag are? I would wear them every single day.
Once the spring arrives (exactly 48 days, not that anyone is counting), I cannot wait to re-create this outfit! I envision myself wearing it on clear, Sunday afternoons whilst walking through the park! Maybe a future outfit post? Until then, I hope everyone has a great day!

WEEKEND STROLLING

It is no secret that I cannot wait until Spring arrives. Though I may enjoy winter for the first few weeks, after December, I highly anticipate spring. Spring has always been my favorite season. The sound of birds chirping, the smell of flowers, fresh colors, and the anticipation for the first green leaves of the season always make me giddy. 
I have a lot of happy memories of going to my brother's baseball games during the spring. There was nothing I enjoyed more than going to the game with the hope of catching a foul ball so that I could get a free piece of bubble gum. During those moments I envisioned myself as a tomboy. This J. Crew cap (in the perfect color) takes me back to my childhood years. I have always had an affinity to hats and hopefully I will be sporting this one very soon.

MY WINTER UNIFORM

 

Clothes are the only thing that get me through the winter. If I didn't enjoy dressing for the winter months, I don't know how I would survive. Though is may be winter, the snow is still very bright so sunglasses are a must. I also am in love with my new sweater from Gap. It is very easy to style, and can be dressed down or up very easily.

Fall Trend: Metallics

 Metallics are a fall trend that I really like. I think that the sheen can really make an outfit. We aren't limited to gold and silver anymore, now you can find metallics in a variety of colors. You can make metallics fancy or tone them down for a more casual look. You can wear metallic shoes which are really pretty or incorporate the tone in bigger pieces of your wardrobe. I really like this trend, do you?

Maroon Fever

Hi Guys,

   I hope that everyone is enjoying their Labor Day Weekend. I know that I am. Having a few days off a school is no complaint for me. However, I have been sick most of this weekend(I am much better now) so I have been kept inside. That really isn't that bad though because hurricane Isaac's effects are can be seen in my city. There has been a lot of rain.
   Well, lets get on to the trend. Maroon is a HUGE color this season. We are seeing it on everything from clothes to shoe to beauty items. It is everywhereI personally am not a fan of this color. I just don't like it. I would much rather wear a different color. I would venture to wear this color on my lips and nails though. I think that I could handle that. Below I put together a bunch of items that are all in the color maroon. I hope that you enjoy. Tell me in the comments below if you will be wearing this color.

Perfect Peplum

NARS Cosmetics lip stick

 Again, I love this outfit. The peplum top with the shorts is amazing. This outfit is all about the details. Peplum top, scalloped ballet flats (that are incredibly chic), and a statement clutch and bracelet. In my opinion this outfit is perfect for the weekend. Since this is my last weekend before school starts, I would like to end the summer with a bang. What do you think of this outfit? Tell me in the comments below and don't forget to follow me. Have a great weekend.
