First Day of School

There is one part of going back to school that I love, and that is putting together those first days of school's outfits! For my first day of school, I wore my new H&M DIVIDED geometric romper with my (also new and from H&M) bright pink blazer. Here is my customary shot showing my outfit, accessories, and nails of the day! Accessories: Alex & Ani bangle, Juicy Couture  chain bracelet, random ring, bangle from Macys, and sandals from Nordstorm Rack.


The nail color I am wearing is "Sugared Mint" by Nordstrom B.P. I put a tiny star jewel on my ring finger from a  Forever 21 nail jewel kit my friend got me for my birthday last year.
Yes... I am really that tan from the summer (that's what swim will do to ya!).
I absolutely love the back of this romper. Yes to anyone wondering, I am wearing a bra.... with the Victoria's Secret low-back bra attachment (it makes any low back top wearable so you don't have that awful bra adjustment showing!). I got mine with a multi-wear bra I got there, but  here is one linked from Target that I found for only $5.99!
With every outfit post, I want to share thoughts about how I choose what to wear and put the pieces together. With this combo, because the pattern on the romper was pretty busy, I chose to wear my solid pink blazer over it. On my blazer are silver zippers, so I pulled all silver accessories for this look, including the black patent leather sandals I wore (which had silver jewel embellishments). If I had not worn it with the blazer, I would have worn one of my solid bright colored statement necklaces. With patterns, I like to offset it with a bold color of statement piece to balance the outfit. Hopefully you will find my tips helpful!
 Although I dread going back to the monotony and stress of school, it really is fun to put together outfits for the days to come. To all those who are also going back to school, or work, or just saying a mournful goodbye to summer (as we all are!), I say to you, good luck in the year to come!

Review + Current Obsessions

Here is my very first “Current Obsessions” post.

Right now I am loving: chubby sticks, washi paper tape, and calligraphy. In addition, I decided to do my first product review in this post because I just got a new chubby stick. It is Just Peachy (10) from Neutrogena, their Moisture Smooth color stick.

Shopping (with Super Savings)

Wanted to share my latest steals! They were all really great deals and I am super excited to put some outfits together with my new pieces.
I was so excited when I got an email saying Nordstrom Rack was having a limited-time sale event for Alex and Ani bangles powered by Haute Look. I got both of these for $14.97 a piece. (They are both normally $28.00!) You can find these and other styles on the Alex and Ani website, linked here. They are also sold online at Nordstrom Rack (where there are still some on sale!!) and at Nordstrom (both online and in store).
Absolutely in love with these cheetah print sandals I found at Target, on clearance for $9.98. Linked here is the white version online right now for $16.98. My favorite part of these sandals is the back, it is knotted in the back with gold metal on the straps!

Summer of Smoothies!

I wanted to share my smoothie recipe; my go-to drink this summer! When I make my smoothies I just eyeball all the amounts because I make it so often. I measured everything out in the video though (will be linked here). There are a lot of ingredients that you can switch out with other things (ie: what type of juice, fruits, yogurt- I just give what I use). Heads up: I reuse the same measuring cup and teaspoon (that's why the measuring cup looks gross!) because they all get blended up anyway! :)

Nail Fail

Back in November I took some pictures in my backyard and found a natural gradient of flower petals. I decided to do a nature inspired manicure and do a video tutorial on gradients... but I do not like how this manicure came out. The color combination and overall look was not good. I decided to post some of the pictures though, since I wasted a day filming and taking pictures for the tutorial I had planned to do :/

Roses and Red Nails

I wanted to share the nails I did on one of my friends. She wanted red nails and told me I could do whatever designs I wanted to do. I chose 5 different designs, some of which I have done tutorials for (and I will link them!)

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!

Time+Technical Difficulties

The lack of YouTube videos and blog posts is from a busy couple of months. Also, with a new computer, all of my pictures and video clips are still on the old one. I hope to post a new video very soon! I have many DIYs planned out, just need to find the time to do them!

Today was a dark and gloomy day which only emphasized the bright flowers blooming. Above is my new YouTube cover art that I created today. The materials: all from nature!

Just wanted to share some pictures from my weekend in Seattle. A lot of cool places to visit here, but my favorite part of the trip was seeing my sis!
