i think one of the worst feelings (or most stressful) that i’ve encountered in the real world is waking up in the morning and the outfit you thought would look great doesn’t . so i’ve stuck to getting inspiration from some of my favorite bloggers, keeping a lipstick in my bag for a quick fix, and prepping outfits the night before. mind you i work in an environment where you can dress more “stylishly” and suits aren’t the norm… a lot of these looks may not apply to your work life, but they’re still pretty great nonetheless.

{ adding pretzels to chocolate chip cookies = a good decision }

i haven’t done one of these posts in ages, so i figured it was time to compile all my instagrams and do a quick recap of the past couple of months. the fact that it’s already july 20th and i’m a few months out of college is a bit insane to process, but here i am trying to process it. p.s. there’s a lot of food pics in here, because if you know me you know that i aspire to have one of those amazing food instagram accounts that makes you crave every single that is posted.

pinks

bite corvina lip pencil | l’oreal pink restistance | urban decay obsessed | nars schiap | buxom katie | nars greta | nars sex machine | bite velvet lip pencil  | bite rose lipstick | tarte lively | nars roman holiday 

when i first put together my favorite red shades of lip products i realized it was actually kind of fun laying them all out. so i moved on to doing my favorite nude colors, and now we’re at pink. i tend to favor deep pinks, bright pinks, and blush pinks over the kind of  bubblegum pinks that tend to be more chalky. throughout the years i’ve learned what works for me and what doesn’t… i’m glad i now understand that a pepto bismol pink isn’t my best color and should not be a part of my beauty routine. i just wish i had known that earlier, but what’s a young preteen to do…

the 4th

a simple, but pretty white romper | a nude heel that can definitely be worn more than once | one of my favorite red lipstick colors | love these stickers and these 

i’ve said this before and here i am saying it again, but some of my favorite outfits are the ones that are seemingly simple with a bit of a wow factor. when it comes to the fourth of july we all know the color scheme: red, white, and blue. it is the day of all days to be as american as possible, but understandably you may want a more understated approach to this holiday… especially if you’ll be spending the night out and about, taking in some fireworks, and enjoying a drink or two (or more…). i love the combination of a white outfit and nude shoes… the first reason is that the white has the possible (emphasis on possible, at least for me) effect of making you appear tanner, and nude shoes do a mighty fine job of elongating your legs. throw on a red lip, grab a jean jacket, and if you’re feeling particularly festive maybe throw a star sticker or two on the tops of your cheeks.

hello july

hello july, summer inspiration

f9c4dd043ee92e08fddfb79f3157dd87

to some this may be a fluff post, meaning it has no real purpose… and while i may agree with that a little bit, it kind of does serve a purpose. these random photos are my inspiration for the month. i keep them rotating as my computer background and spend some time putting together the different images and colors until i get the right mix. if you’re a visual person (which i am) then organizing photos and putting them together is something that’s fun, not boring. so happy july everyone, and don’t worry a legitimate post is right around the corner.
