as many of you guys know i am more than obsessed with stripes… it’s really bad. i see them, in any form, and try to convince myself its necessary to get them. it’s a habit i’m breaking, but a habit nonetheless. anyways, the majority of bloggers i follow tend to rock stripes in so many different ways. the upside about this is that i can dream up different outfits with pieces i already have thanks to these blogs. the downside is that i may see them wearing something that i could define as life-changing (me being dramatic) and favorite it, watch it obsessively, hoping it goes on sale, ultimately falling into an endless cycle.

tumblr_mk5zxljlHt1qe1sqco1_500coming up with a blog post is not always easy to do. whenever i do get an idea i’ll write it down right away, but most of the time i don’t have a set way of doing things. one of my biggest inspirations does come from photos. at one time i will have multiple photos splayed across my desktop, grouped into little clusters, just waiting to be picked. the tricky part is deciding what to write about them. at the same time it happens to be the best part, because that’s where i get my prime ramblings that usually end up being something. i mean yesterday i went from instagram to harry potter… i didn’t even mean to make that connection and i just did. if anything, my life in lipstick has taught me that things happen… life happens. you can’t always plan everything out, sometimes you just have to just wait and see what’s in store. i guess the photos i’ve chosen are an example of that. they may be similar in color tone (to some extent), but they just happen to be of things i love, or like, or wish to see one day. together they have meaning, and while it may not be completely planned out, as anything goes in life, it’s what you make of it. tumblr_mkyvazELaA1qk0mqro1_500tumblr_lwsojdLUOq1qim4txo1_500tumblr_m93petw35S1qj4drlo1_500tumblr_mljw6iiAnT1snhmaco1_50016tumblr_mjwzellRlf1qa6obxo1_500tumblr_lnxnk3dGum1qkag34o1_500

yesterday i popped into madewell after work (like i almost always do) and started talking to some of the employees about the fall 2012 line. i was allowed to take a peak at the upcoming window displays, and let me tell you, it was amazing. the shoes alone are out of this world and i am counting down until this collection is released in stores. head over to madewell.com for a sneak peek at their fall collection. i promise you won’t be disappointed!  (all photos courtesy of madewell)

I love everything about the fourth of july, and count it as one of my favorite holidays. This year in fashion stars and stripes have been all the rage. From star-printed dresses to nautical striped tops, they’re everywhere. The color combination of red and blue hasn’t just been reserved for the fourth, but has made its appearances in many a fashion line. Go check out J.Crew’s website and you’ll know what I mean. I love “patriotic fashion” and these following bloggers have some of my favorite takes on this look:

atlantic-pacific

sincerely, jules

the daybook

the pink peonies … (i’d add a red lip!)

gal meets glam

cupcakes&cashmere … (i’d swap out the headband, do a high pony, and stained red lips!)

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!

There are two things I love experimenting with: patterns/colors and makeup. When it comes to patterns and colors mixing and matching is so fun. For makeup, my daily routine is always changing. It’s never heavy, but sometimes I’ll stick to mascara and a bright lip or a smudged bronzy eye with everything else bare. This outfit and look was for a day of graduation celebrations! (it’s still surreal I graduated college last year and will be a sophomore in college…)

Does anyone have any recommendations for drugstore lipsticks?

J.Crew Shirt // J.Crew skirt // J.Crew leopard ballet flats // Michael Kors Watch // Grandma’s ring

Something I absolutely love doing is mixing prints, especially stripes and animal print. The combination just works, and the fact that this skirt is red and blue makes it even better! Both the skirt and shoes aren’t available any more, but the v-necks happen to be on sale. The majority of this outfit happens to be J.Crew,   but that’s what happens when you work there!
