Casual Friday

Thank you sweet baby Jesus it's Friday! That means I get to sleep in tomorrow. :) Every Friday at work we get to dress it down and keep it casual. This Friday I kept it casual with some boyfriend jeans, and added a blazer to keep it work appropriate.

I am such a fan of boyfriend jeans, and lately they have been my go to. Sometimes I dress it down with just a sweater and some flats but I'll leave that for another day. :) Happy Friday my loves!

What are you go-to pieces?

Wishing for Summertime

Happy President's day my loves! :) If you're like me, then you are still probably lounging in bed trying to get some well deserved relaxation before the regular week kicks in. Life's hectic and sometimes we forget our bodies will appreciate us more if we give it some time to relax, that is exactly what I plan on doing today! :) And maybe a little bit of hot yoga...

This outfit was inspired by Lauren Conrad's Spring line at Kohl's. I'm such a huge fan of hers, tracing back to her Laguna Beach days! She is definitely an inspiration to me and I just adore how classy and composed she is at all times, its definitely a good trait. Not to mention her style is always stylish and chic without going overboard.

Have a great day dolls! :) xoxo

Pink Overload. :) Dressed down Valentine's

To all my readers that celebrate Lunar New Years, Happy New Years!! :) It's finally the year of the snake and that might not mean anything to some of you but my parents are extremely superstitious, and have been telling me nothing but good things about this year! According to the Chinese horoscope, I am a snake and this is about to be my best year yet. I like that the odds are in my favor... at least that is what I'll be telling myself everyday. :)

Valentine's day is this week. How time flies... here is another outfit idea for you guys. Have a wonderful Sunday! xoxo

Outfit Details | Blouse: Nordstroms | Pink Pants : Hollister | Jewelry: Macy's | Nude pumps: Gift

Taylor Swift Inspired

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Who isn't a huge fan of Taylor Swift? Granted everyone has an opinion about her dating life but aside from that, she is an amazing artist. She's a relatable 23 year old girl who is searching for her knight in shining armor, just like the rest of us. Regardless if you support her or you don't, I'm pretty sure you each know one of her song by heart -- heck even my boyfriend likes to sing "we are never, ever getting back together!" :D

The inspiration for this outfit is off of her Ked's Campaign for Brave girls. That alone, is wonderful. She stands behind the definition of girl power and staying true to yourself. What a powerful message!

Outfit Details: Yellow Long Sleeve: Old Navy ($5) | White Jeans: Wet Seal (here)| Red Keds- gift (here)

"I think doing something that's different, that's out of your comfort zone is important," she says of posing for Bazaar in les pantalons. "Personal growth, let's call it that." -Taylor Swift

Valentine Outfit ♥

Happy February my loves! I love dressing up and getting ready for a sweet date night, but in WA it can get so cold sometimes that all you want to do is wear sweats, sweaters, and tons of layers. But Valentine's Day is right around the corner and even with the weather, you've just got to get a little creative. :)

Thank you for stopping by! :)

Re-vamping the old...

It's amazing what you can find when you do a little spring cleaning... This entire outfit was put together from pieces that I thought I lost but ended up in the back of the closet.

I hate those days when you stand and stare into your closet and feel like you have absolutely no clothes, when there is a closet full of clothes staring back at you. That was probably the reason I felt the need to search high and low, front and back in my closet to find pieces to re-vamp. When in doubt, use your old pieces in new ways. :)

My entire outfit was purchased at least 2 summers ago, so I'm not sure if I can find the pieces again. But everyone has a cute summer dress they can pair with a sweater! Who says we can't wear dresses in the winter?? xoxo

Thanks for stopping by! I really appreciate it. xoxo

With that in mind, happy birthday to my darling best friend Amanda! :) You are the Meredith Grey to my Christina Yang! I wish you nothing but the best because you deserve the stars and moon! xoxo

Shoe addict in the making..

Wow! Has January been a busy month or what? So many celebrations and birthdays! Happy birthday to all my January babies! :)

I haven't had much luck with shoes off the site JustFab, but for some reason the last three pairs I've bought have been fantastic and completely true to the picture. Today's shoe of the day is "Hiral" in black. The gold details is what attracted me to it and man oh man are these shoes comfortable! I love a great pair of heels that I can wear all day and not have them killing my feet, so here is my out of the day!
