OOTD: Bleached Beauty

September 10th, 2013: 

The Outfit: Today's outfit I kept super simple. It is still in the 90s in Ames which I am totally not used to. So, I just wore this super fun bleached denim dress with great accessories. The look is very simple but still cute and a little bit edgy. My favorite part about this dress is the amazing pockets because lets be honest, every girl loves a dress with pockets. I paired the dress with a statement necklace with black and silver details. Also, it has a super cute bow in the center. 


Where it's from: 
Dress: American Eagle 
Necklace: Akira 
Wedges: Target 
Sunnies: Charming Charlies

OOTD: Nautical Day

July 7th 2013:

The Outfit: I wore this white button down with a tie on the bottom to balance out the pattern shorts. The pattern shorts are adorable I love the whales and the anchors. These shorts are super comfy and the waist is really stretchy. This is my "Lazy Sunday" look. Even though it's not that lazy. With this outfit I paired it with rose gold jewelry and accessories.

Shorts: Roxy from Pacsun

OOTD and Fourth of July

July 4th, 2013: Yesterday was the Fourth of July! By far this is the most fun Fourth I have ever had. I spent it with some great friends singing, eating, and watching the fireworks at our local golf club. It was the perfect weather out and we had many festivities going on. There were a few bands we jammed out to and danced on our blankets set up. Ignoring the stares we kept going and had a blast.


My roommate and I having fun with sparklers once it got dark. We had so many going at once it made for some really cool pictures! 


The Outfit: Of course it being Fourth of July you must sport your red white and blue proudly. So I chose this super cute almost country concert like crop top with a pair of plain high waisted shorts. In my hair I wore the classic bandana look. Also, I wore a combination of many red lip products in attempt to keeping my lipstick in place. 

Where it's from: 
Crop top: American Eagle 
Shorts: American Eagle 
Shoes: Sperry Top Sider 
Belt: Aerie 
Bandana: Hobby Lobby (our craft store) 
Sunnies: Dry Goods 



Some tasty treats I enjoyed. On the left I had watermelon and lemon italian ice which was super refreshing. Then my friend's mom made us some delicious patriotic cupcakes! 



 



The fireworks were absolutely amazing. They lasted about 40 min which is really impressive for just a suburb city fireworks so it was quite the show!

My Fourth of July nails. I used a variety of the Revlon Nail art nail polishes that I recently won for a contest for Teen Vogue. Also, I used gold shatter nail polish by OPI on one of my fingers on the other hand.

Easy Breezy Maxi Girl: How I style maxi skirts




Maxi skirts are my go-to outfit when I wanna dress up this summer. Which I have to admit I dress up basically everyday. Most maxis are made with light chiffon like fabrics. Also, I'm a big fan of jersey or stretchy skirts as well. They are the perfect lazy day outfit but still you look polished and put together. 

The Outfit: 
Outfit #1: This coral color skirt just screams summer. Bright colors with a basic tee or top is an easy way to have color without wearing neon from head to toe. Also, by having small details in your top like the added stones or tying it up to the side you can add a little bit of you into your outfit. 

Outfit #2: A classic color white shirt with a twist? I think yes! This shirt is basic but a must have for me! I wear it with practically everything. But, I especially like it with this teal sea foam green maxi skirt. Pairing simple shirts like this one with a statement necklace is a super easy way to add a little something special to your look. Statement necklaces are a major trend this summer and I think they will continue to be hanging around for the fall. I will admit I have a problem with buying these junky beauties but I definitely get my use out fo them. 

Outfit #3: This outfit is a lot like the first. Another basic top paired with a flowy maxi skirt. I paired this pink skirt with rose gold accents. Also, I added these adorable Melissa jelly sandals by Forever 21. When I saw this collaboration I definitely took advantage of it! I chose these soft pink owl sandals because they are neutral enough to wear with a lot of things but still fun for the summer.

OOTD: Summer Lace

On a hot summer day, all I can picture wearing is a simple tank and some high waisted shorts. High waisted shorts are all the rage this summer. It seems like everywhere and anywhere is selling them. But, I like to find unique styles instead of the cliche jean high waisted shorts with a crop top. Of course nothing wrong with this style. But, I try and mix it up and put my personal feminine style into an otherwise kind of edgy or hipster style. So here is my outfit of the day.

The Outfit:
My shorts are a blush nude pink color (the best way I could describe them). They have a linning in them that ends a little bit before the rest of the lace. The material is super stretchy and super comfortable. My white tank is a basic that every girl has in their closet. The small lace detail in the back makes it a little special then your typical wife beater tank. My rose gold sandals I literally live in. The whole rose gold trend is my favorite. But, besides that they are super comfortable yet still have a hint of that metallic sparkle.
