i am back in good ol’ new york, and finally i feel like i can sleep! while unpacking my room i have also been preparing for a new job, so it’s been nothing short of busy. not to mention i injured my hand so it is currently wrapped in a little cast, making typing not too easy. once my room is done (i’ll post about it) i can finally feel settled in. one of the upsides of coming home is feeling like you don’t have to dress up, basically it’s okay to live in workout pants and t-shirts. i’ve realized i need to break this pattern and fast, so here are some outfits i am absolutely loving. (this also took me forever to type, i miss my fully functioning hand)

fashion, inspiration, polyvore

so i will admit i’ve been mia, but i have an excuse. bronchitis has taken over my life, and the last two weeks have been hell. i am on antibiotics, steroids (not the muscle kind) and an inhaler, so life has gotten away from me a bit. i hope i start feeling better soon, but until then i’ve found a new pastime, or in other terms, gotten reacquainted with an old one. polyvore. i’ve mentioned on here that in my heyday i used to be a beauty tutorial girl on polyvore, but before that i did fashion sets. well, i’ve been using the site recently to make art sets, and i forgot how much i loved it. literally one of the coolest sites ever. so until next time i’ll leave you with some of my favorite sets… (i’m going to leave out the sets from my “MEGamakeupaddict” days and stick to my mylifeinlipstick phase)

fashion, heart, inspiration, intution, leopard, shoes, walking

i love this quote, plain and simple. sometimes in life you can try to make everyone happy, please everyone, but in the end you yourself won’t be happy, or true to yourself. finals are coming up (along with christmas!!) but during this time i need to take these words to heart. it may be a bit straightforward, but it gets the point across.

so as an ode to “following your intuition” here is a tribute to shoes, and legs, and walking in the literal sense, but try to envision the figurative message i’m trying to convey..

so it goes.

blogging, books, cheetah is the new black, inspiration, kurt vonnegut, reading, so it goes

i saw this quote recently and it has managed to stick with me. there are so many moments in my life when i look at the people around me, at the situation i’m in, and feel content. i know… content may seem boring, but since life tends to get stressful, being content and happy with where you are and who you are with can sometimes be the best feeling.

finding inspiration is important, at least in my life. it can be from something as small as a color i like, or a book i read, a quote i hear, or a talk with a friend, but for me these little things make a big difference.

inspiration in color:

inspiration at home:

inspiration in fashion:

cheetah is the new black

and most of all inspiration from the ones you love (family, friends, and pets alike):

cupcakes and cashmere, fashion, inspiration, j.crew, jules, madewell, outfits, sincerely, style, summer

this post started off as a one time thing, but i tend to like so many outfits on various blogs, and this happens so often that i decided to make this into a continuous post. some blogs i follow are similar to each other and others have no semblance of similarities to their counterparts, but i love them nonetheless!

butter london, chevron, cupcakes and cashmere, fashion, inspiration, j.crew, peplum, rainy days, salmon, zara

every time i check one of my favorite blogs i’m always hoping a new outfit has been posted, because often times i fall in love with them. usually the outfits are way out of my price range, but the fun part is finding similar pieces in my wardrobe or on sites such as asos. i love the unique aesthetics of these blogs, and find inspiration for my own wardrobe by combining different elements of style from each site.
