if you need a little bit of inspiration when it comes to getting ready, and you like clothes that are a mix of casual, chic, and everything in between you should check out these bloggers:

sincerely jules | brooklyn blonde | something navy | the londoner 

these ladies are some of my favorites and i am always on their instagrams/blogs and they are well worth the time spent on them.

state of the union 1

what i’m eating | guys, shake shack came out with a chicken sandwich and let me tell you, it looks unreal. yes, i have yet to try it, but it’s something straight out of my food fantasies. as of now it’s only at their brooklyn locations, so i will without a doubt be making my way over there. there’s nothing like their burger, and i’m loyal to it, but when a chicken sandwich looks like that it’s time to try something different.

what i’m wearing | i received this snake cuff bracelet from baublebar for my birthday from a friend and i absolutely love it. i usually don’t wear jewelry other than my rings and my earrings, but i’m all about dainty bracelets. i used to wear an evil eye bracelet every day, but after it broke i’ve been in the market for a new one. i happened to find one earlier in the day (thin gold chain with an evil eye in the middle) and have been wearing both bracelets since. i’ve also started to revisit some of my favorite dusty roses/nudes, like exposed from tarte. it’s a great formula, has a minty, refreshing scent, and looks great on.

what i’m reading | right now i am in the midst of decorating my place and let me tell you, it involves books and lots of them. i’m a huge fan of coffee table books, but i like to mix them up. while some of them may be more fashion-focused, i also have a few historical selections and one or two on the kennedys, elvis, cookbooks, you name it. american beauty is one of my favorites, so i’m excited to finally get everything all set up.

what i’m lusting after | there’s not much too say other than the fact that i think these schutz shoes are gorgeous. i’ve been eyeing them for a while, and recently saw ayesha curry rocking them and i’m more obsessed than ever.

what i’m listening to | if you need a new musician to listen to and appreciate music that you can’t get out of your head, then erik hassle is the choice for you.

what i’m decorating with | as you may know, i love elvis. i wanted to find a way to incorporate my love for the king into my new place without it being too much or weird. well, luckily enough i was out for dinner the other night and saw a reprint of andy warhol’s double elvis hanging in a white frame at the restaurant. it looked amazing and inspired me to do the same for my own bedroom. i ordered the print from art.com, so hopefully it won’t be too aggressive (it won’t be)… we’ll see how it turns it out.

hi there, remember me? sorry for being so totally m.i.a., but i will try my damn hardest to make sure it doesn’t happen again. work has been a bit crazy and so has life, especially when trying to move to a brand new place. exciting, but daunting. since i love decorating and am super detail-oriented, putting together my new apartment has been very fun… very fun, but very time consuming. in any of my college dorms or even my room at home, i love white, blacks, grays, nudes (a.k.a. all the neutrals you can imagine) as the base and pops of color so nothing stays too boring or too stark. don’t even get me started on framed prints and art, since i’m all about that. the photos here have been a big source of inspiration, and i can finally say i’m starting to make moves. once everything is put together photos will be posted on here, but for now let’s just say that my version of a gallery wall (without the expensive art) is on its way.

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…

fourth of july, red lips, revolve clothing, show me your mumu, steve madden, steve madden carrson, summer fashion, summer style

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.
