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.

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.

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.

the beat goes on

“k.i.s.s.” is a statement that i love… meaning “keep it simple, sweetie”, i think it’s a pretty foolproof method for getting dress and putting on makeup. a pair of jean shorts, a white button down, and sandals are go-to’s in my closet, and the same goes for neutrals like army greens, nudes, whites, and grays, some statement dresses, and shoes. i love shoes, and i can never pass up on a good heel. when it comes to online shopping, i love to browse revolve, shopbop, madewell, forever 21, amazon… basically almost anything to find stuff i love.  when it comes to red, pink, berry, or coral lips, my family tends to not be a fan, but you have to march to the beat of your own drum… especially when it comes to lipstick.

i tend to look at a lot of blogs, tumblr, and pinterest in order to get inspired. this may consist of casually browsing through pictures, or falling so in love with an outfit that i tend to do a little bit (or a lot) of online browsing in order to find my own version of dupes. when it comes to outfits that i freak out over, brooklyn blonde has that title. she rocks neutrals like no one else, and has a city girl style that i love. i can only hope that i could look so put together while walking the streets of manhattan, but in reality i know that after a long day at work i will not be looking anywhere near as put together. when you’re getting on the subway after racing through rockefeller center in muggy, humid new york heat you could not be looking any worse. so next time i’m getting ready, i’ll think of some of these outfits and pray i don’t look like a hot mess by the end of the day.

back to black

rebecca minkoff jules satchel | ray ban aviators | dogeared pouch | sam edelman yates heels | heritage cookbook | heartloom zuma romper 

tomorrow i’ll be heading to san francisco (pictures to come!), but before i left i wanted to put up a quick post. i can vouch for the romper on the bottom when i say it’s one of the best purchases i’ve made. i’ve already worn it more than i should, and i’ve had it for a few weeks. if you happen to be a foodie, heritage is for you; it’s one of my favorite cookbooks thanks to its colorful imagery and delicious recipes. in terms of clothing and accessories, the shoes are a bit wild but that’s what makes them fun. aviators are a classic and i’ll always have them on (maybe black ones in the future), but for now i’ll be sticking with my gold/dark gray-green pair that everyone seems to have. lastly, rebecca minkoff may have created the perfect work bag (and dogeared’s pouch would fit nicely with it).

i think that the theme of this year’s met gala could have easily had something to do with being pretty close to naked. this is slightly a joke, but a lot of dresses came close. some people really followed through with the theme (i’m looking at you sjp), but others played it safe. while minka kelly’s look two years ago will always be my favorite, these are some of the good ones from this year.

brooklyn blonde, sincerely jules, something navy

{ sincerely jules killing the shoe game }

i’ve said this before on here, and i’m about to say it again: when i find something i love, i stick with it. i do change things up, but there’s something nice about knowing what works for you (and hopefully what doesn’t). a lot of the time i look to some of my favorite fashion blogs for inspiration, and try to mix things up a little bit. a lot of the bloggers i follow are at a pro-level when it comes to wearing neutrals and prints, casual outfits with heels, and everything in between. they’ve got it together… and on the days when i really just feel like throwing on leggings (and i do this a lot), they (sincerely jules, brooklyn blonde, and something navy) help me step it up a bit.

spring break lust list

a choker that i love in theory, but probably won’t ever wear | a big fan of these aviators | this (in the polynesian print) could be a coverup or even a dress | i love bright lips, especially when it’s sunny and warm | the perfect beach bag | channeling my inner beach babe with this necklace | these shoes are great, plain and simple | one of my favorite warm weather makeup items | a hat to stop sunburn | something to manage my hair | SPF is 100% necessary for my skin and this stuff is my favorite

spring break is less than a week away, and this is the first time i will ever be leaving the country. so not only am i going on my first (and last) college spring break, but i will be traveling outside of america for the first time. there won’t be any posts up on here while i’m gone, but i’ll definitely have pictures after!

enhanced-31639-1421020066-8the following ladies straight killed it at the golden globes awards last night. it was hard to narrow down my favorite pics, but i decided against having you all look at 20+ pictures… you’re welcome. i think the best way to look at the outfits from last nights awards is to do so while listening to “uptown funk”, because something about that combination just works. if i ever went to the golden globes i have a vision of the kind of dress i would wear (picture long sleeves, slit, v-neck or low back) that would hopefully not land me on the worst-dressed list. honestly though, this isn’t something i have to worry about. so until my “debut” at the golden globes, i can keep on dreaming.
