Gettin Schooled

Gettin Schooled

Wearing varsity and letterman jackets instantly make you look cooler. Fact. Honestly, I think this look is such a cool, laid back, while put together vibe. The bright yellow is eye catching, and pairing with the peplum top brings a bit of femininity. I could live in these jeans. And these sneakers. And eat ice cream every day. And just be the happiest. GET THE LOOK Jackets: 1. Scotch & Soda Varsity Jacket - Love the lines and contrast on this jacket. And it can be dressed up

Business Super Casual

Business Super Casual

First off, can we all solve the ever important question: What is the abbreviation for Casual? Would I type 'Business Caj,' or is it 'Caszh,' maybe just 'Cas' works? If you know the answer, let a girl know!! THIS IS IMPORTANT! Also very important: THESE PANTS!!!! Comfy. Cute. Florals. Did I mention comfy?! As we all know, I'm a huge advocate for outfits that feel like PJs, but don't look like PJs. These are them! My new favorite shoes are these white leather low tops. They fee

Vacation Vibes

Vacation Vibes

Okay so I haven't gotten to go on a non-work related trip in a minute, and my Instagram feed seems to know that I'm dying to jet off to somewhere tropical, as every other picture seems to be people on vacation. I want to fall asleep on a hammock and drink out of a coconut and frolic along the beaches on Exuma with swimming pigs. Yes, that's a real thing. And yes, I very much want to do it. Until then, I'll guess just dress in island-wear and take pictures outside of bodegas i

I feel like overalls get a really mixed reaction from people. Either people hate them, or they never want to wear anything but overalls. I clearly fall into the second category. What I'm Wearing Overalls: Lulus Distressed Denim Overalls Boots: Pointed Toe Suede Boots Shirt: Sleeveless Black Turtleneck Top Rings: Madewell Stackable Rings Earrings: Gorjana Mini Hoops and Good Times Studs #winter #fall #spring #fashion #casual #girlsnightout #everyday #style

Warm Tones for Cool Temps

Warm Tones for Cool Temps

A laid back chic, that is perfect for both Girl's Nights Out and date nights. To me, this look is all about balance. The cropped wrap top shows some skin, while the boyfriend cut jeans make it look effortlessly put together. Many of the pieces of this outfit are staples in my closet, from the Splendid boots, which are so comfy you can rock them all day. To the sophisticated, but simple camel jacket (my friends all ask me where I found this one!) And you all know how much I'm

Sneaking into Woodstock

Sneaking into Woodstock

My uniform pretty much all of high school consisted of band tees and black Chucks, and while my style may have evolved a bit I still love a good graphic tee. Especially one that has meaning to me. On a weekend getaway to Woodstock, NY not too long ago, I was searching for the perfect souvenir to remember the trip. While fridge magnets are the go-to, I stumbled upon a guitar shop which also happened to see the coolest pinned shirts. (Sidenote: if you ever have the chance to go

New Year, New Clothes

New Year, New Clothes

A little fancy casual hybrid to end out the year. While this last week has been a ton of traveling and airplane sweatpants, it's nice to meet dressed up a bit. This outfit can totally transition from being a boss at lunch meetings to date night or dinner with the girls. First off, these jeans are dare I say it, the most comfortable jeans I have ever worn. Stretchy in all the right places. Also, I've been loving the trend of feminine work shirts from afar, but was hesitant to

Polar Votex Incoming

Polar Votex Incoming

It snowed for the first time this season! It was beautiful and magical and also gave me mixed feelings... like do I want to go outdoors so I can see the streets lined in fresh powder, orrr do I want to stay in the comfort of my heated apartment. Very difficult decisions. But in honor of the first snow and hoping for an outdoor activity filled winter, here is one of my favorite "cold, but not too cold" weather outfits. Seriously, this jacket alone makes me want to break out of

Winter is coming.

Winter is coming.

I love the idea of winter. Drinking a mug full of marshmallows and hot chocolate, while looking out the window at snow covered mountains. Wood crackling from the fireplace over Christmas music. We'll just forget that 99% of winter is digging cars out of snow piles, and dealing with cracked noses from sniffles. And the true marshmallow is actually me hiding under layers of clothes. I decided to dedicate this post to a cute outfit that also hides the fact that all I've been doi

How I Stick to My Fitness Routine (Even When I Don't Want To)

How I Stick to My Fitness Routine (Even When I Don't Want To)

I don't know about you, but I've been stuffing my face full of whatever Halloween candy I can get my hands on. It's becoming a problem *types as I have three empty mini Snickers wrappers next to my computer* It's nearing that time of year again. The sit on the couch, wrapped in a blanket cocoon, and watch an entire season on Netflix time of year. The 'have to unbutton your pants after family holiday dinners' time of year. The 'sweatpants are all that fits me right now' time o

That 70s Outfit

That 70s Outfit

I may not have gotten to actually experience the 70s, but I'd like to think Jackie Burkhart and Donna Pinciotti helped shape my style during my formative years. Let me tell you, I was a bell bottom aficionado back in 5th grade. Limited Too jeans were my jam! I should probably be more embarrassed and stop bragging but, it's true. The rest of what I learned about the 70s was from Forrest Gump, so while I may not actually be as expert on the decade, I am still in love with moder
