Holiday Look

As any good friend of mine would know, I am a HUGE procrastinator. I wait until the (literally) last second to finish things (literally because I one time turned in an essay online 1 minute before the deadline!!). So, in true Megi D. fashion, this holiday post is coming out…after the holidays.

ALL PHOTOS TAKEN BY THE TALENTED LUCY BELL (@lbellx on Instagram).

I had originally planned to post this before the holidays to give you a little outfit inspiration. I love the holidays because it gives you a chance to dress up and wear some fun items. I also wanted to share the great deal I got on one of the pieces in this post. I love my photographer Lucy, she captures the magic in everyday life. This photo is one of my favorites from the shoot, she got the perfect little shot with the vibrant colors and details all showing. I didn't even have to edit any of the pictures!

This statement necklace was (not sure if it still is) on sale at Nordstrom for $9.97! I love the bright pink stone in the center and the brown, navy, and white accent jewels.

New York Trip Diary

I wanted to share each day about my experiences and outfits (I will put links to the store's website if I have time) on my first trip to New York. This is an ongoing post so I’ll post when I have time as I go. I had wanted to blog every day, but as I am used to California time, am trying to fit as many things into one day as possible, AND want to get at least a couple hours of sleep, I do not believe it is possible. The pictures I am sharing are mostly all taken by me, the ones with me in them are of course taken by other people (mostly my sister Steph).
Update: I decided to just write it all at once as a recap and post it after I was done (and yes, that means almost 3 months after my actual trip!).

View from first flight- bad quality iPhone pic, but GORGEOUS sunset.

I absolutely love plane pictures, seeing everything from above is so breathtaking, especially at night! All the lights look like glittering diamonds!

Homecoming Sneak Peek... And Homecoming pictures!

It's Homecoming weekend at my school! I wanted to give a sneak peek of my homecoming look; basically all of my stuff, just not me wearing them!

I got both my dress and shoes at Saks Fifth Avenue Off Fifth (the outlet store-- a.k.a. a LOT less expensive than Saks Fifth!). I've always worn dark colors to dances (black, navy blue) and this time I decided to go with a brighter color- cream.

Four Looks for the Fourth

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! (A.K.A. America's Birthday)

This is my very first fashion post on my blog, and hopefully the first of many to come. I decided to do this post about one of my Go-To looks: a tank top+ ANYTHING and EVERYTHING (shorts, skirts, blazers, jeans, leggings, accessories, etc.). Using 2 tank tops, a skirt, patterned pants, and accessories; I put together four different (but similar) Fourth of July looks that I shared all the details for. I love tank tops because of their versatility and ability to look good on anyone, and with anything! There are so many different ways you can wear a tank top. So get out your tank tops, pair it up with something, and do this look yourself!
