Jorts Jivin'

Jorts are at the end of a lot of jokes but all jokes aside, I am digging this version of jean shorts. This look is honestly classy. The key with jorts is to not let them be too tight. Too often, women and girls think that clothing needs to be super tight to look good. No thank you, ladies. If the jorts I wore above were tight, this outfit would be foul. Paired with an boyfriend-style blazer and some sexy heels...voila! Jorts done right. Give it a go this spring!

Fresh, Fruity and a New Favorite

I love trying new products. There is no denying that. I get some sort of odd thrill out of it (I'm sure you gals can understand that). I have always used the St. Ives Apricot Scrub since I can remember. When I went to stock up on my usual, I noticed this new product by St. Ives. The fruit on the front and the scent are really what sold me. However, once I used it for the first time, I loved it even more. It's not quite as harsh of an exfoliant as the original apricot version and is more face-friendly for a more regular use (like daily). Plus, the scent is fresh and heavenly. Give it a whirl!

Lost in Loafer Land

As you can tell by this point, I love loafers. I found this beauties over a year ago at TJ Maxx. They were a great deal and they are so fun and unique. These are Dolce Vita. Who doesn't love tassels and suede? This girl is in heaven. 

Salon Style


Every time I go to the salon, I feel inspired to wear something fun. Why? Because stylists are always so expressive in the way they dress. There are studded combat boots, half shaved heads and hot pink locks. To make sure I didn't feel too bland, I sported my favorite ripped jeans, leopard print gladiator sandals, army green vest and Kurt Cobain t-shirt. To add a little girlie to the mix, I sported my necklace from A.Haley Boutique over my tee.

Car Shopping With Cole

While in the process of car shopping, it's important to dress the part. Is this really the case? Not in a sane person's world. However, it all makes perfect sense in my mind. So, before heading to the dealership, the natural thing for me to do was to slip on my favorite driving loafers. These Cole Haan beauties are one of my favorite purchases...ever (and that's really saying something). Not only are they are classy little additive but they are comfy (saving me from the dreadful blisters my typical sky-high heels inflict). 

Breathe It In

Perfume is my everything. I mean, I keep my perfumes on a cake stand for goodness sake. It's much like heels or jewelry or a purse...just completes the outfit. I've picked out some of my favorite scents that I keep stocked up on. As you can see from the top three, I don't believe in too much Chanel. Coco Mademoiselle is a classic and all three Chanel Chance (the gold/yellow not pictured here) are my go-to fragrances. Flowerbomb, in the bottom left corner, is a scent I can't get enough of. Most of my female coworkers wear it and I just never get tired of it. It's a comforting smell to me. In the middle of the bottom row is an oldie, but goodie. Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker was a staple for me in college but the scent is still as lovely as ever. I can't quite put my finger on what I like about it but it's a hidden gem. Last but not least, my ultimate favorite...Jimmy Choo. It's the most enticing smell in the world...in my opinion..and luckily for me, it's my blog so I'm allowed to act like that makes it the truth. If you haven't tried it out, do yourself a favor and spring into Sephora for a quick test run. And if nothing else, these bottles are just damn cute. 

Swim Into the Suit Sale: Target

Since Target is heaven and you can spend hours in there without getting bored, why wouldn't they have something else amazing to lure me in? Their "Buy One, Get One 50% Off" swim suit sale is going on right now. This spring break special is the perfect opportunity for you to stock up for summer (since most of us don't get the luxury of a spring break - obvi not speaking to my teacher friends). They've brought the heat this year with some cute bikinis, like this snake skin suit above. Loving the neutrals with the gold accents...perfection. Head on in and take a little peek, friends.

My Dad Would Be Proud


I never thought the day would come...and here it is. I find it very difficult to pass up a trend...unless it's those heinous platform sneaker monsters (should be a sin - I'm talking to you, Miley). So, when I see camo popping up everywhere, I had to give it a go. I'm not rolling out into the world with camo pants but I will experiment with something a little more subtle. I found this scarf at Forever 21 for I'm sure under $10. I paired it with a navy and white striped nautical sweater and hot pink lips (Urban Decay). Somewhere my dad is wanting to high-five me right now.

Leopard = My Favorite Neutral

How am I going to see leopard smoking slippers and NOT purchase them? Well, it's not going to happen - mama needs them. I found these precious gems for about $20 at Forever 21 and are actually quite comfortable. 

Fashion Find of the Day

March is here, ladies and gents! With that said, unleash the beautiful spring colors. Mint is one of my all-time favorite colors so why not have a purse that color? This ASOS purse, only $56, is perfection with its scalloped edges and gold accents. Isn't Sunday for online shopping? Have at it, friends.

Local Boutique Bliss

I finally made my way into A.Haley Boutique and found a couple of gems that I'm so excited to weave into my wardrobe. I love timeless looks and on this particular day I tied one of my favorite sweaters around my shoulders for a preppy look. It made sense to bring a little glam to the outfit and not go with the predictable pearls. This necklace was under $20 and there were a ton more to select from. Thanks, A.Haley for this beauty!

Little Love Reminders

GIve me the option to flash anything broadcasting love and I'm all over it. This love bracelet was a $6 find from Forever 21. I'm completely obsessed and have worn it almost everyday since I purchased it. Go get yourself one, dolls. 

Rock Your Favorite Vintage Tee: Look Two

There is nothing like a glam maxi skirt to dress up a vintage tee. I love this royal blue maxi, especially with the gold accents. It feels very...rich. I tried to keep the accessories and shoes a little more edgy with this look to keep it dressier. These gold gladiators are everything. They are comfortable yet look so funky and dressy all at the same time. I need this outfit on my body...asap.
