Kiel James Patrick


Kiel James Patrick
{Bows, arrows, and fun bracelets}
I see Kiel James Patrick bracelets everywhere I look! I think they are the most adorable things on the planet! They come in so many patterns, designs, and materials so there is one for everyone. 
The vickers bow bracelets are the perfect girly accessory, in my opinion. These three are my top prints at the moment. 
This fox print is super cute! Foxes I feel like are so in right now and this is a subtle way to incorporate it into your outfits. 
{Also, I must mention that these bracelets remind me of bow ties which is just perfect also.}


Bow Bracelets

Here are some preppy ways that you can style your Vickers bow bracelets! 
Pair your bracelet with a classic pair of jeans, a cardigan, and an embellished top for a fun and festive look. This look will be great for the holiday season. Finish your look with a pair of brown boots and a gold clutch. 
For a more dressy look pair your bow bracelet with a pencil skirt and blouse. Complete your look with a matching clutch and a metallic flat. 
I am in love with this arrow bracelet! It's perfect for a Pi Phi girl like myself. I love both of these wrap bracelets! They would be perfect to layer with other bangles and bracelets. 
Kiel James Patrick makes the perfect bracelets for any preppy girl. Not to mention they are a great gift idea!

How to Style Ugly Christmas Sweaters

How to Style Ugly Christmas Sweaters 

Often times you find yourself getting invited or going to an ugly holiday sweater party. So, in these situations how can you make an ugly sweater into a cute look? Well, no fear I have put three looks together that will for sure help you out! 




Ugly Christmas Sweaters

1. Pair it with jeans: If you want to keep your look casual, but cute, simply pair your sweater with a pair of skinnies, some flats, and a fun necklace. Also, you could tie a big holiday ribbon in your hair and use it as a headband. This look is ideal if it is more of a casual party with just a few friends. Or if you want to wear an ugly sweater to class one day. 
2. Throw on some sequin shorts: Do you have some left over sequin shorts laying around from Halloween or a past party look? Pair it with your sweater! Wearing some sparkle with your sweater will make it seem a little more glamourous. Wear your shorts with a pair of tights and heels and you are ready for an ugly sweater celebration. This look is ideal if you are going to more of a party ugly sweater occasion. 
3. Wear a green or red skirt: To make your look festive add some more holiday colors. If you have a red or green circle skirt wear it with your sweater. The added color will make your look seem even more crazy then before. Also, wear a pair of glitter shoes of some sort. Weather it be glitter Toms, flats, or heels this will add an extra level of holiday cheer to your look. 



So you don't have a Christmas sweater? No worries! Here are some some-what ugly but cute sweaters I found. 
You can ask Santa for them!

Holiday Collections: Tory Burch
















As I look through various designers holiday collections for 2013, I can't help but notice the glamour and sparkle across the board. One of my favorite collections is Tory Burch's Holiday 2013. It is full of sophisticated pieces with touches of lace and sparkle. 

Through this collection it shows how sophisticated sequins can be! I love the contrast between the dark black pieces along with the pastel fabrics and colors. Also, the bead work on all of the pieces is chic and sophisticated

I'm basically obsessed with all of these pastel pieces. I wish I could live in pastels but obviously thats not always realistic. But, these pieces are beautiful and perfect for any holiday party this winter. 



An embellished top is a great substitute if your not feeling a dress when your holiday party rolls around. I'm hoping I can find a dupe for this somewhere during the holiday shopping season! 




Here are my top pics from the Tory Burch collection. If I could pick any dress for a holiday party it would for sure be this gorgeous blush pink number. I can picture someone chic sipping on wine and wearing this dress and a classy bar. But, that is just a fantasy but a girl can dream right? 

Then who can pass up a chic sweatshirt and pleated skirt? This look will be re-created at some point don't you worry. 

The black sequin top is a perfect pair for this pencil skirt. I love the ruffle detail on the bottom of the skirt. It makes a normal pencil skirt a little more special.

American Eagle Holiday Wishlist




American Eagle Wishlist

American Eagle is one of my favorite stores! So, naturally I want everything and everything. But, I tried to narrow it down to some key things that you can give or put on your own christmas list! 

1. This furry vest is one word FAB. I think that this trend is actually kind of working for me. Pair this vest with a plain shirt, cute skirt, patterned tights, and some ankle booties you could be super chic. Also for some reason I can picture someone fabulously walking down a street in sunglasses wearing this vest.... Just me? 
2. A beanie is a true winter essential! So a plain neutral color like white will go far in your closet. It will match all of your coats and go with a lot of outfits. 
3. Do you need a new pair of jeans? Well, personally, I only buy jeans from American Eagle. They are a great quality, fit, and style for the price. Because basically every 5 min American Eagle has a good promotion going on! 
4. Every girl needs a cozy sweater. American Eagle has some really cute ones so be sure to check them out. 
5. An embellished sweatshirt is a key staple for me this winter. They are a great way to be glam but comfy at the same time. 
6. A fun headband is a great gift to hand out to your girlfriends. They are perfect for lazy hair days and ideal for any college girl. 


Here are some more ideal gift items! 


I am obsessed with button downs! Pair these under a sweater, cardigan, or a puffy vest for a cute and preppy look. 

This sweater is toes amaze! (get it?) I am obsessed with this sweater! It is super cute and they have more sayings and designs online. 


On the right there is another cute sweater ideal for a gift. Then every girl now and days (at least at college) needs a puffy vest! 


Then a perfect gift for a friend or sister is a fun holiday graphic tee. This penguin one is super adorable!
