Feathers and Monroe

This particular outfit is not something I would usually put together. I would much rather pair the shorts with a nice button down and the top with a pair of rolled jeans. However, today I thought I would go for it. I feel as if pairing my pac-sun cheetah top with the professional looking shorts made it more playful and fun. Also, do not get me started on the Betsey Johnson clutch. In the words of Rachel Zoe, "it is to die." I feel if you put the face of Marilyn Monroe on anything, it makes it a million times better. 

 I have recently become obsessed with the little pond/lake in my backyard. I think it is so picturesque and a perfect place for photo shoot.

Independence Day!

     There is something truly magical about the Fourth of July. It happens to be one of my favorite holidays. I mean how could you possibly beat picnicking, fireworks, and sparklers? Those are the three simple components of making a fantastic Independence Day.
     For my family, we always get everyone together, have a big feast, and set fireworks off in our own backyard. I know this sounds very midwestern of me, but I would not change it for anything.

As this holiday came around, I was wondering what would be the perfect outfit to wear to the family festivities. I soon decided on my go to sundress that I got from Nordstroms about five years ago. The floral pattern has the perfect country feel, that was wonderful for running around with my family. 

 

Summer Uniform

So this has probably been one of the hottest summers Ohio has seen in a while! There is nothing but blue skies and sunshine everyday! In order to stay comfortable in the obnoxious heat, (I much prefer the cool breezes of spring and fall) I have come up with the perfect "summer uniform."

I have been obsessively buying high waisted shorts. They are so comfortable, and you can wear them with anything! So that my number one must have this summer!
Next is any pair of TOMS! They are possibly the most comfortable shoes in the world!!! TOMS are my number 1 go to for comfy shoes!
Lastly is a good headband. I got a ton like the ones in these photos in Thailand. They are a perfect add to any outfit!
These are all the things to make a perfect casual summer outfit! I hope this post didn't jinx the good weather!

Thailand and back!

Well I hope to say I'm back for good in the blogging world! The past month has been crazy! Not only did I go to Nicaragua, but I also graduated high school, went to Thailand, and now just returned back! Every adventure I went on in Thailand was amazing!

  I got to experience Buddhist temples, ride elephants, feed monkeys and go to the beach! It was possibly one of the most amazing trips of my life! Oh and the shopping! Did I mention shopping?! Everything there was so inexpensive! You could buy like five new dresses for twenty American dollars!!

Even though these photographs do not exactly showcase all of my outfits fully, it gives you a little taste at the adventures I had whilst in Thailand!

 

  

I am back!

Dear blogging world, I am back! I know it has been months and months since my last post, I just have been trying to finish my senior year... So here is the exciting news since I do not have an outfit to post today, after I get home from Nicaragua in two weeks I'll be back to my weekly posts!! Yay!! I hope you have not forgotten about me!!!

So I finally saw some spring; which means it is right around the corner! I couldn't be more happy! It was time to start shedding those horrible layers! I am beginning to hate this winter so much!

Outfit Info: 

        Dress-Forever 21

      Cardigan-Old Navy

     Boots-Necessary Clothing

 Tights-TJMAXX

 I stole the bow dress from my sister, but added the cardigan and sweater since it was still a tad chilly.

I am getting such a style block with this weather, I feel as if I have to wear the same thing over and over again since it is so cold! Anyone agree with me? Most would say that seeing the "beautiful" snow would give them the opportunity for fantastic layers, but I could not disagree more! I need spring and summer to come NOW! Oh well, I feel like I'm complaining too much! 

On a happier note, I found out that I got into a college that is only 20 minutes from New York City! Things are truly looking up! I can still have the opportunities to intern in the city! YAY!

Winter Wonderland?

  As most know, this winter has been horrendous! I have spent every waking second this winter trying to find clothes that not only keep me warm, but also have some sort of fashionable flair. I feel like this ensemble has encompassed both of those things.
  I am really loving the trend of cuffed shorts with tights. It makes it so easy to transition summer/spring clothes into fall/winter clothes. But I'm ready to put away the winter sweaters and bring out the summer dresses!!! Spring needs to get here sooner!

 So the lack of pictures is because it was the first time I ever used a tripod!! I have never felt more awkward! Hopefully as time goes by I will get more comfortable with it!
