OOTD: Denim & Striped

August 9th, 2013: 

The Outfit: I paired this body con striped dress with this denim button down. The button down has small bleached details which makes it a little different then your average button down. I kept the accessories pretty basic. To add a nautical touch I wore my cheetah Sperry Topsiders.


Where it's from: 
Dress: Forever 21 
Shirt: American Eagle 
Necklace: Dry Goods
Bracelets: Henri Bendel, Alex and Ani, and Dry Goods 
Ring: Disney World 
Shoes: Sperry Topsider
Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters 


Today a surprise came in the mail! Apparently I entered a Teen Vogue giveaway and got this bareMinerals lip gloss in a bright pink color called It Girl. At first when I got it I had no idea where it came from but I eventually figured out. I mean I won't deny free lip gloss even though I don't remember entering for it. Can't complain.

OOTD: Purple and White

July 31st, 2013:

The Outfit: Today I kept things pretty casual. Simple colored jeans paired with a peplum tube top type shirt. I layered my new M necklace that I am OBSESSED with along with a colorful statement necklace. My topknot and brown flats complete the look.



Where it's from: 
Jeans: J Crew 
Top: Aerie 
Shoes: Steve Madden 
Bag: Michael Kors 
Necklaces: Dry Goods 
Bracelets: Henri Bendel, Alex and Ani, and Dry Goods 
Rubber bracelet: Office Max 



Okay, so I know I'm going to get judged hardcore... BUT in regardless, I went to Office Depot to go look at the One Direction line they have that is against bullying. As I was walking towards the back of the store they had this huge poster of the boys! So naturally I had to take pictures in front of it. The one above is me gushing over my favorite Niall Horan (I hate to pick favorites but if I had to Niall would be my favorite) 



One Direction display at Office Depot. They had everything organized by each member so you could pick your favorite. Also, they all had a different message they represented. 


These are the One Direction purchases I have made recently. They bracelet and notebooks are from Office Max but the pens are from Target. I was also super excited because purple is my favorite color and that was Niall's color! I think it's meant to be if you ask me....... 


Also something exciting, I posted a picture of my recent Benefit purchases and Benefit favorited my tweet! Pretty cool stuff if you ask me. 

Today I also went to JCPenny. I haven't been in there well basically never but my mom wanted to look for sheets. What else is new right? But, I have to say I was really impressed with their new home department. We went to a relatively new JCPenny but it was super nice and even had a Sephora in it! So, if you have an apartment defiantly look there for cute decorations.

Might I add I got my college laptop! This is my first blogpost on it YAY! I will post pictures and the experience tomorrow!

OOTD: Neon and Floral

July 30th, 2013:

My outfit today was pretty simple actually. Today I ran a lot of errand type things. I went to the mall with my mom and brother because we had a 40% off coupon for American Eagle. So, usually when that happens we take a big trip and stock up on whatever we need. I will do a blog haul tomorrow for all of the things I got (it's kind of a lot). Also, we went to Carson's to try and find sheets because basically we don't pass up any opportunity to get a deal on college things. Then I picked up some makeup from Macy's with a gift card from my birthday. Finally, I went to Victoria Secret and somehow used three free underwear coupons at once. The lady claims she's not allowed to do it but lets face it, I was going to come back and get the underwear anyways so might as well just give it to me now.

The Outfit: I have shown you this shirt in a blog haul and here it is in action. I paired the floral button down with just simple jean shorts. Spicing things up a bit I added the neon belt along with a pair of my mom's vintage Keds (Surprisingly they are in perfect shape! S/O to my mom for never throwing anything away..... Then to complete the look I added red lipstick (Apocalips to be specific) and my new favorite necklace combination.



Where it's from: 
Shirt: J Crew 
Shorts: American Eagle 
Belt: American Eagle 
Shoes: Keds (vintage) 
Necklace: J Crew 
Monogram necklace: Dry Goods 
Bracelets: Henri Bendel, Alex and Ani, and Dry Goods 
Earrings: Nordstrom Rack 

 

Makeup Blog Haul: 

So here are the items I got from Macy's they both are Benefit products. 
I have had the cream eyeshadow in this color before and literally used every single bit of it. This was my middle school obsession so I thought I would try it out with the new packaging. Along with that I got the lip gloss in Kiss You. This is new packaging for their lip gloss as well. I had one of the old lip glosses before the new packaging and I really liked it. (Again from middle school. I had a tiny Benefit makeup obsession.... not really sure how I got a hold of $20 lip gloss but who knows.) 

Also, I'm not sure if you could tell but the lip gloss is named after a One Direction song. YES I went there. But, the color is really pretty. My friend recently purchased it and it looks great on and its pretty in the tube. I will also do swatches of these once I do my makeup with them. 




Thought I might add these pictures of my Dunkin' Donuts breakfast. Gotta love a cute sprinkled donut right? 


Lastly a mirror selfie in American Eagle. I never do these but I thought the outfit looked kind of fab in a weird kind of trampy way. Don't worry I wont wear a crop top out without a high waisted shirt. That is just a major no no.

OOTD: Polka Dots

July 28th, 2013:

Today, my family and I went to a Spanish restaurant. It being a Spanish style restaurant we ordered a lot of Tapas they call them. In other words we had a lot of little dishes which made on big meal. I was kind of hesitant at first but it was super yummy!

Also, today my Mom and I went college shopping at Target. We were in there for about 2 hours. Yes you can spend 2 hours in Target. I got a TON of things that I really needed to get. Such as sheets, bed bug protector, memory foam pad, and a bunch of little things. My dorm theme (well my side of the dorm) is the color scheme of purple, grey, black, and white. So that is the direction I am going. Purple is my favorite color so I have to do that color of course. I will for sure do a whole thing on my dorm once I set everything up at my school.

The Outfit: It is still cold in Chicago! Omg! But, it wasn't too bad today. All I needed was this denim jacket over this super cute dress. I originally had flats on but I had to switch for dinner to be a little more fancy. This dress is super light and easy and really comfortable.



Where it's from: 
Jacket: American Eagle 
Dress: Akira 
Shoes: Steve Madden 
Wedges: Guess 
Necklace: Dry Goods 
Bracelets: Tiffany and Co., Dry Goods, Charming Charlie's, and Alex and Ani
Purse: Michael Kors 







Side note: Aren't my brother's shoes so chic! I love them. He was pretty proud of himself when he bought them.

Preppy Diaries: Plaid and Necklace Fun

July 26th, 2013:

In exactly one month I will be at my first day of college classes...... HOLY CRUD where did the summer go???

In regardless, I have the usual OOTD for you part of my Preppy Diaries series. Just me pretending I'm from the land of Vineyard Vines, Lilly Pulitzer, and monogram everything.

The Outfit:
The weather was super weird and cloudy all day today. But, I kept things light and airy with just a simple denim shirt (a major staple piece for me) and a plaid skirt. The waist is elastic with a tie band and it has buttons all down the front. Also, the great thing with this skirt is has pockets which is good to keep your phone in. Keeping with the preppy theme I wore my J Crew necklace paired with a longer monogram necklace I just got today actually. Finishing everything off with Pearl studs and curls, the usual.

Where it's from: 
Skirt: Aerie
Top: American Eagle 
Shoes: Keds 
Necklace: J Crew 
Initial necklace: Dry Goods 
Earrings: Nordstrom 
Ring: Tiffany & Co. 
Hair ties: Teen Vogue Package 
Bracelets: bangle from Alex and Ani then infinity stretch bracelet from Dry Goods





I had a nostalgia moment when I saw the Lisa Frank folders. My whole childhood was Lisa Frank and Hello Kitty so I died. Also, can't forget my boys in the bottom right corner. (wink* wink*)
