spring wishlist

4 / 2 / 25

Spring has sprung! I couldn’t be happier that it’s April and the weather is warming up. I am not a winter person at ALL, so the months of December to February are always hard for me. I feel like the second half of March was when I really started to notice that I was reaching for fewer layers, the skies are getting bluer, and everything is blooming again! I felt like I was in such a rut the past few months, but I can feel myself getting more inspired and motivated… defrosting, if you will. I really want to make the most of the next few months and be outside as much as possible to enjoy the spring weather before it gets miserably hot this summer. Today’s post is a roundup of a few things I’ve had my eye on for my spring wardrobe. I really want to branch out and wear more colors this season!

graduation dress roundup

1 / 23 / 23

This morning I applied for graduation… what?!? I graduate college in May, which is just insane to me. I still don’t think it’s fully hit me that this is my last semester, because I still feel like I’m a sophomore in my head, haha. I just had my first week of classes of spring semester, and I’m really looking forward to the next few months! I always enjoy spring semester, with the weather starting to warm up, baseball games, and new classes. I just want to make the most of it and soak it all up! I need to schedule senior pictures soon, and I know people usually wear white dresses for pictures/the graduation ceremony. I found so many cute dresses on Revolve that I’m trying to decide between- all for under $100!

Spring Wishlist

5 / 18 / 20

Has anyone else used this quarantine to clean out their closet and sell old clothes? It’s something I put off forever and never get around to doing, but when I finally start, it’s actually really satisfying. A few weeks ago, I made a whole week out of deep cleaning my room and closet and listing some old clothes on Poshmark and my closet instagram. It was definitely nice to feel organized and have some empty hangers, but it also left me needing new spring clothes! I usually try to save money and don’t shop very often, but when I do decide to make a few purchases, it’s so fun to round up new fashion links. Today I’m sharing some cute pieces I found for good prices while online shopping!

My Fall Sneaker Wishlist

9 / 20 / 199 / 19 / 19

If I could pick one item of clothing to have unlimited access to for the rest of my life, it would probably be shoes. I love a good pair of shoes, especially sneakers. I feel like they can really dress up an outfit and give it the perfect vibe: casual, sporty, fancy, preppy, take your pick. It’s no surprise that my first word was literally “shoe” and I worked in a shoe store for the past year and a half in my hometown. I love a good sneaker, and recently I’ve been looking for sneakers that look good with jeans. I know it’s not time yet, but I’m already thinking ahead to fall, and I can’t wait to pair a good pair of denim with some chunky, cool sneakers.

Summer Style Inspo

4 / 22 / 194 / 22 / 19

I know we still have a couple of months until summer, but the warmer the weather gets, the more I start to look forward to summer fashion. I’m so ready to put away all my sweaters and bring out the shorts and tank tops. I feel like I say it every year, but this summer I’m really going to try to step out with my style. It’s so easy to reach for the nike shorts and t-shirts every time I’m going somewhere, but I really want to wear cuter clothes and put more effort into my looks. Pinterest is my biggest source of inspo for outfit ideas, but it can be dangerous because I immediately want to buy any of the clothes I come across. 😉

The Perfect Fall Transition Outfit

10 / 1 / 17

How crazy is it that it’s a week into fall and it’s still 80 degrees outside? I have a feeling it’s going to be a hot winter! I do love summer and warmer weather, but after getting a taste of 65 degree weather, I want it to stay for good! Since I haven’t broken out my thick sweaters and jeans haven’t become a staple in my closet just yet, I’ve been experimenting with different pieces that look fall-ish yet work for the warmer weather. I also love adding extra details to this outfit with my favorite new beaded necklace from Jewelry Junkie. It’s so cute and adds the perfect pop of color!

Hump Day Tee + My Favorite Jeans

8 / 30 / 179 / 10 / 17

School has started back and I’m finally getting into the swing of things around here! I’m still perfecting my orderly morning routine after two months of sleeping in, but other than that I’ve finally settled in. My school has a pretty lenient dress code and we can wear Nike shorts, and I wear those a lot since I know I should take advantage of the shorts season while I still can! However, some days I do like to dress a little nicer, and this outfit is one of my faves! The tee is from J.Crew (perfect Wednesday tee am I right?) and I found these jeans on sale at Old Navy! I was on the fence about getting them but I’m so glad I did, they have become a staple in my closet and are so unique!

Linen Shorts + Harvard Tee

8 / 7 / 17

Every since I got this Harvard shirt in Boston back in April, it has been such a go to shirt. I wear it all the time, either tying it up like I did here, tucking it halfway into pants, or letting it hang long with a pair of Nike shorts. It’s so comfy and today I paired it with my favorite pair of shorts, this breezy linen pair from Old Navy. I’ve worn them all summer, they’re perfect to throw on for a quick and cute outfit. I recently bought my first pair of slip on Vans and I love them! They add such a cute touch to any outfit. As for jewelry, most of my bracelets and both of my necklaces I made myself, but everything else I’m wearing I linked below!

Steal Her Style: Relaxed Neutral Outfit

3 / 17 / 173 / 12 / 17

I’ve never done a “Steal Her Style” post before, but this was actually really fun to put together and I’m planning to do more in the future. As I’ve said probably many times before, I love Pinterest and all the different fashion inspiration I get from it. (Be sure to check out my style board!) I love getting lots of different ideas and inspiration for outfits, but sometimes it’s hard to figure out the sources of all the different clothing items. And even if I’m able to find some links, the clothes are usually super expensive. In the post today, I tried to keep the prices low, although the only jeans I could find that were closest to my inspo were a little pricey. Other than that, I think this is a super cute outfit that I would love to recreate myself!

Oversized Gray Turtleneck

3 / 13 / 173 / 12 / 17

Even though it’s spring break, it’s actually still pretty chilly. The high for the temperatures this week will only be around 50 degrees! Not exactly spring break weather :(. One of my main fashion staples this winter has been this oversized gray turtleneck. It’s so comfortable and I wear it at least once a week to school. I like that you can throw it on and not have to worry too much about your top, because it’s so simple! I usually style it with a pair of blue jeans and my favorite adidas sneakers. It was so fun to shoot these pictures, read on for more details on my outfit!

Fun Patterned Socks

1 / 11 / 171 / 10 / 17

At the beginning of the school year, I had planned to try to dress nice almost every day. I had a bunch of outfits planned out and I organized my closet and got rid of stuff I no longer wear. I was going to try and make it the whole school year (or at least the first semester) wearing cute, nicer clothes. There are still some days that I wear those things, but I definitely haven’t been dressing up everyday like I had originally planned. On my lazy days when I wear something more laid back, it’s always fun to brighten up the outfit with a pair of fun socks! I see so many cute ones everywhere around school, and I’ve compiled a few of my favorites down below! Enjoy!

My Favorite H&M Sweaters (all under $35!)

11 / 9 / 16

Since it’s starting to get cooler, we are entering sweater weather! In the colder months like December and January, I practically live in sweaters. It’s so easy to slip on on and pair it with jeans or leggings for a quick outfit. Last year while we were at the beach, I went to an H&M store for the first time, and I fell in love with everything in there. There isn’t one anywhere near where I live, so I had never seen any of their items before! I’ve recently been browsing their website and I’m obsessed with all their new fall sweaters! Today I’ve rounded up six of my favorites- and they’re all under $35!

Fun Fall Nail Polish Colors

10 / 19 / 1610 / 18 / 16

Now that fall is officially here, it’s time to start transitioning your wardrobe and accessories to the darker, more neutral colors. The summer is all about bright and colorful patterns, but fall is more laid back, sophisticated colors in more neutral tones. Besides changing up your clothes for fall, you can also change up your nails! In the summer, my go to was always blues or corals for the brighter color. Now that it’s fall, there are so many cute options for new nail colors! Today I’ve rounded up some of my favorite picks!
