Fresh Spring Look!

Happy Sunday!

I hope you all are having a great weekend so far. The weather has finally warmed up here in Abq, and I am so glad that it is finally starting to feel like spring! Today I'm wearing one of my favorite casual spring looks. It's super simple, but it also has a fresh and feminine feel!

This light blue top has cool slit details on the sleeves- which I absolutely love! I always like showing my shoulders (especially in the warmer months), and I find the cut extremely feminine and flattering. I also love the fact that it’s so lightweight, because it can be worn all throughout the spring and summer!

I decided to pair the top with a classic pair of white pants. I'm really picky with white pants because sometimes they can be see-through, but these really are not at all! I love the fit of them because they are just tight enough to be really flattering (without being so tight that it’s a struggle to get them on in the morning).

These nude heels are from H&M, and I love the fact that they are short and comfortable enough to wear anywhere. However, I’m a little torn about them because I’m a size 7 ½, and H&M doesn’t sell that shoe size! (Does anyone know why that is? They sell all the other half sizes except the one I need). I went half a size up and got the eights, but honestly they are a little too big for me. Somehow they’ve stretched a bit since i first got them, so if you’re stuck in the middle of two sizes like me then you may want to size down. As for me, I may be on the hunt for a new pair!

The nude cross-body bag is from H&M, and I love the gold chain on it! It gives the perfect amount of pep to an otherwise neutral bag, and it’s perfect for outfits that need a little extra shine). It’s pretty small but surprisingly enough, it does fit both my phone and my wallet. However, I can only fit a few other little things in it. This is good for days when I won’t be staying out too long and know I don’t need to bring much at all. Normally I opt for something a little bigger, but sometimes it’s nice to keep my bag light.

Have a great week!

Baby Pink Peacoat

7:06:00 AM

Happy Tuesday!

I hope you are all having a fabulous start to the week. We got a quick glimpse of warmer weather here in Abq last week, but sadly it looks like it's back to winter again! Even though I was starting to get excited for spring fashion, I can't say I wasn't excited to bring out this pale pink peacoat. If you haven't noticed, this has been my favorite color to wear lately. It's classic and girly, and definitely a good color to wear all year long! The shape of this coat is really flattering because it is a bit more fitted in the midsection but flares out a bit on the bottom. Sometimes when a coat is too long I feel like it makes me look way shorter if I don't wear heels, but this one is the perfect length for both heels and flats!

If you can't already tell, I am still obsessed with this pale pink Kate Spade bag. I've had it for a few months, and I can honestly say the color goes with way more outfits in my wardrobe than I thought it would. As a college student (and a semi-broke one at that) this is extremely important to me, because I always want to make sure anything I am spending a big amount of money on is going to get a lot of use. I'm really excited to see what I'll style it with in the spring and summer!

To finish off the look, I paired it with a white top, nude heels and cuffed jeans. The heels are actually from H&M and while I usually don't go for heels that are this short, I was surprised at how much I like the height! They are super comfortable, and great for semi-casual days where I tend to walk a little more. I don't really have many flats so these are perfect for me to wear to work or to class.

I hope you all have a great week!

Rosy Cold Shoulder

8:12:00 PM

Happy Thursday!

I hope you have all had a great week. I am so glad the weekend is almost here! Since it's finally starting to warm up here in Albuquerque (and I'm hoping it will actually last) I pulled out this gorgeous cold shoulder top. If you know me, you know I'll probably never get over the cold shoulder trend! I think it adds a chic twist to any casual top, and it's super flattering on every body type. This top is also a rosy shade of pink that I have been obsessed with lately. I paired it with all black pants and boots to make the pink really pop!

The OTK boots are from JustFab, and I love the lace-up details on the side. They are a tiny bit taller than most of the heels I own, which originally made me a little nervous, but surprisingly easy to walk in and not painful at all! However, they don't really have any grip on the bottom, so they can be slippery on certain floors. Plus, they were under $60, so I'm definitely thinking of buying another pair in gray! As for jewelry, I chose my gold chain choker and gold watch from Charming Charlie! I love the way gold looks next to the black and rosy pink.

Have a great weekend!

Black, White & Bold

11:51:00 AM

Happy Friday guys!

I've been practically living in neutrals lately, so I decided to mix things up a bit with some bold colors! This fluffy white sweater is just as warm as it is chic! I love how simple it is, but the fuzzy texture makes it different than any other sweater I own. Because it is so simple, there are so many ways to wear it. I would definitely call it an essential to my winter wardrobe. The shoes are Jessica Simpson, and I love the bright purple color! I know I'm going to be living in these during the spring and summer because they are so bright and colorful. However, I think they are also a great color for winter, and definitely a good change from my usually neutral winter wardrobe. I couldn't find these exact ones online (I bought them at TJ Maxx a few months ago), but I linked a similar pair!

As for the bag, it's the Kate Spade Cobble Hill Maris in the shade Alice Blue. I think the name describes the color perfectly, because it does remind me of Alice in Wonderland or Cinderella. It's just bright enough to draw attention, without being too overbearing. The bag is also an amazing size- it fits my camera with my wallet and makeup (which is super convenient for someone like me who loves bringing my camera everywhere)!

For my makeup, I couldn't resist matching my lipstick to my shoes, so I wore the Mac Viva Glam Ariana Grande II lipstick. It's a mix of pink and purple which I love! I think it is a great shade for those who want to start experimenting with lipsticks and trying something other than the classic pinks, reds, and neutrals. It definitely leans more on the purple side without being too big of a leap into the bold shades because (if you're like me) sometimes you gotta test the waters and push your boundaries a little before diving all the way in.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Kate Spade Bailey Street Vikki

11:08:00 AM

This is officially my first post of 2017! I hope you all have had amazing holidays and rang in the new year on a positive note.

This week's look features my new favorite purse- the Kate Spade Bailey Street Vikki in Posy Pink. This was an early birthday gift from my wonderful boyfriend Matt, and I was super excited about it because I've been wanting one for so long! I am even more obsessed with it than I thought I would be. I love the beautiful light pink color- especially for winter! The size is a lot bigger than it looks, and I'm able to fit everything I normally carry with me (wallet, phone, keys, makeup, etc) without it looking overly full!

I chose to pair it with a white sweater from H&M and these nude heels from JustFab. I love the girly bows on the back of these heels- such a cute touch! As you can probably tell from the jewelry, I am absolutely obsessed with rose gold. The earrings I'm wearing are from @SUSAJewelry. Matt surprised me with these stunning rose gold rings from Pandora not too long ago and I absolutely love them. The princess ring is perfect for me because it combines my two favorite things: fairy tales (aka Disney) and rose gold!

As for my lips, I decided to keep up my pink theme with the Fabby lipstick from Mac! It's a nice light pink color with a hint of gold shine and it's currently my favorite lipstick. I love the frost formula because it's almost a sheer metallic. It's also nice to give my lips a break from matte lipsticks (they always dry them out)! It's a pretty sheer color on its own so I definitely suggest using a lip liner (I used Mac's Edge to Edge) underneath to intensify the color.
