Winter Wonderland

Ugh, can Christmas come sooner?? 

I am currently prepping for finals, and it's just dreadful. But on the bright side, my holiday spirit is growing bigger now that Christmas break is just around the corner! Once I'm done with all these papers and exams, I won't have to worry about studying for classes for three weeks. Plus, I get to celebrate my favorite holiday and go to Florida for New Years! 

On the other note, I took some time off of studying to post a winter-based outfit idea. I'm been waiting for a long time to show this outfit, I love it so much! It hasn't been super snowy in Ohio this December (which is super weird), but it's still a good idea to bundle up for the chill winter air. 

The blouse and the skirt are both new and fresh from Francesca's, the store with the best outfits and jewelry in the world. The material in the blouse is super soft, it feels so comfortable and not tight. The skirt is super soft, too. It's also very flowy and has cute little snowflake designs. Nothing better than dressing for winter the fun way!

I forget where my infinity scarf is from which I feel  bad about. But I'm sure you can find very similar scarves with the same color or design, maybe you'll even find the actual one! If you do, please let me know!

My shoes are from Dillards while my black tights are from Target, which sells a variety of colors and brands. High boots are also good with this outfit, too! 

I thought the telephone looked funny. Hahaha!

Thanksgiving

Gobble gobble! 

I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving and ate plenty of delicious food! I can be honest and say I ate three pieces of turkey, five crescents, and six pieces of my grandma's homemade stuffing along with dessert. At least these meals only happen once a year! Unless you live at Hogwarts and have feasts in the Great Hall everday ... 

But aside from the food, Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to be with friends and family, especially when everyone nowadays is busy at college and jobs. It's important to cherish these holiday moments with one another, so pick an outfit you'll remember being most happy in! 

On Thanksgiving, I chose a new dress I bought from Express. It's a floral-designed purple long-sleeve. It works well for both spring time or in the fall, when the weather is perfectly mild. I love this dress because floral designs are my favorite. If you like dressing in flowers, this is the dress for you! 

For my shoes, I simply chose a pair of black booties from Steve Madden. No reason needed, black goes with everything as long as it doesn't hurt your feet.

Preppy Chic(k)

Holla! 

Sorry I haven't posted a new fashion blog in a while, these last few weeks were a little rough. I had a nasty cold that lasted for almost more than one week! I also had three midterm exams last week and a lot of assignments due at the same time. I tell ya, college is a toughie! 

But now I'm not sick, all my midterm exams are caput, and I'm on fall break! Yay! 

It's been wonderful to be back at home with my parents and dogs for four days, but the best part so far was going back to Lawrence Upper School (where I graduated from) to visit all my friends and teachers! So in order to look like a representable and official college girl, I decided to go for a preppy and chic style, my absolute favorite type of style!

College is a very preppy place I find, my sister Lauren's college Miami University was ranked as #1 preppiest school in the country! Good style must run in the family blood. 

I once again wore my Urban Outfitters cardigan and Lauren Conrad boots from Kohl's. These are my two favorite pieces of fall clothing so far, I could wear them with anything! 

My next addition included a black tank top from J. Crew, a maroon/black cooperative Christie skirt from Urban Outfitters, and black leggings from Lululemon, the best athletic apparel store in the universe. 

To make the look even more preppy, I wore my Banana Republic glasses along with my Fossil watch and Lokai bracelet as accessories. Some people almost didn't recognize me when I went to visit my high school with my new frames!

And of course, I treated my craving for Starbucks with an iced vanilla latte. Even more preppy (and basic). 

The weather wasn't too nippy, so I decided to take a picture of my clothes without the cardigan (and glasses). If you wore this outfit without the leggings or boots, it would be perfect for the summertime as well! 

I now know what I'm wearing to my next country music concert ...

Fun fact, I wrote this blog while watching the new live-action version of Cinderella, and now all I wish is to write a blog about wearing a princess ballgown ... but one can dream, right? 

Hope all of you lovely followers are having a wonderful fall season so far, and make sure you stay in touch with upcoming fashion posts! Happy October! :)

Hump Day

Guess what daaaaaaayyyyy it is!!!! 

Hump Day of course, finally halfway towards the weekend! Writing papers, studying, and making speeches sure is hard to get done in such little time. But tonight I got the perfect opportunity to go out with my friends to a religious organization called "The United" and it is one of the coolest events I've ever been to! 

So a night out with the ladies means that it was a night to dress up!

This is the second time I've worn my new Urban Outfitters cardigan, I freaking love it. It feels like being covered up in a cozy blanket, which is perfect for both a slightly cold day in the winter or a chilly summer night. I've gotten so much use out of it, and it has pockets! 

Along with my cardigan, I chose to wear my Fiona dress from Ubran Outfitters as well, so it was a perfect combination! I love how flowy and comfortable the fabric is, it felt like I was wearing super stylish pajamas! 

Now the shoes from Dillards on the other hand weren't as comfortable, but they matched perfectly with the cardigan. And as long as they looked good, my feet felt happy! 

I didn't feel like putting on too much jewelry, so I just put the simple pieces which included my Fossil watch and Kate Spade necklace with my first name initial. Since my dress has a strap around the neck and a lot of polka dots, it's best to wear a simple necklace that brings out a more modest look.

It was very awesome night, mostly because I got to be with my friends and have a great time at United. Now it's time to get past these next two days!
