Currently Craving #3: Spring Hats

Hats are such an overlooked piece of an ensemble, not only are they an accessory but, like sunglasses, they are a finishing touch that can complete a look to its utmost perfection. With this being said, I thought I'd help in the process of finding the perfect "finishing touch" for you, and what better time than before a big trip to purchase one?



A lady can never go wrong with a big, feminine bow - 'Fancy' Bow Hat


Wide brimmed, floppy, AND striped? Need I say more? - Packable Sun Hat


An adorable blast-from-the-past style hat never hurt a women - Hat With Ribbon


Now has anyone ever said standing in was fun? - Cobalt Blue Fedora


None other than the classic cream fedora - Panama Hat


Boat hats and wide-legged pants? Win win - Straw Boater Hat


Personally, I'd buy anything in this gorgeous rusty red - Matador Hat


Beanie-style take on the bohemian turban - Slouchy Beanie


Can you tell I'm infatuated with brimmed hats a little bit? What's YOUR favorite hat style?

Currently Craving #1: Sensible Spring Shoes

Blush Flats  /  Powder Blue Flats  /  White Pointed Toe Flats  /  Leopard Sneakers  /  Black Slingbacks  /  White Loafers  /  Black Loafers



Heels are a beautiful thing. But being a student and all, it's often impractical to wear heels - let alone on a regular basis. When I'm older, I cannot wait to wear heels daily! As for now, however; I have to look for other practical means of getting around, while remaining in style of course! I adore beautifully crafted flats and sandals, so odds are I'll never be caught dead in a pair of flip-flops - my sister has even tried and I won't budge - no flip-flops for me! Thus, here are a few of some of my favorite Spring flats - easy on the eyes, and the wallet! Bear with me as I know the color scheme variations are pretty boring - I still can't find it in my heart to buy a pair of shoes that I will get a minimal amount wear out of!

Why the cold, sunshine?


This past month has been a rigid unwelcoming one, making the cravings for summer all the more unrelenting. With the past few weeks of extreme cold and cabin fever coming in full gear, I crave the heat of summer more than ever. But not only the heat, the vibrant color, the glowing tans, and the seemingly endless laughter that comes alone with heat, a good time, and great friends.
I got lost in thought and found myself brooding over past and upcoming summers, which got me to thinking, what would I wear? Say summer starts suddenly, temperatures starts to rise, or I just take a spontaneous early Spring Break? I took the opportunity to get lost in my summer dream, which brings me to my post today, 2014 Summer/Spring Break style. It’s never too early to plan, right?




1 - Seafolly Typhoon Dress - $79.63
2 - Calypso Romper - $60
3 - Wrap Me Up Jumpsuit - $56
4 - Tribal Inspired Joggers - $15.80
7 - Heartland Bag - $32.99
8 - Confetti Bag - $42
9 - Wool Floppy Hat - $45
10 - Triangle Bikini Top - $20.50 


As you can see, right now I’m craving pastel hues, and a touch of vibrancy. I’ve never been a big go-getter for vibrant colors, but there some days I feel impulsive enough to give it a go. And why not let 2014 be the year of trying out the unimaginable? I know in many cases doing just that brought me into many blissful situations.
In the summer I am also always fixated on delicate, flowing, and loose clothing articles – whether it be a dress, shirt, or some pants - I just love the sensation of feeling “free”. Which is oddly enough what the ever-trending bohemian style seems to capture, at least if you ask me. Something I find crazier about it is just how flawlessly it seems to intermingle with what summer is – it’s as if they were made for one another.
I can’t wait to see what this summer has in store – new people, new adventures, and of course – new fashion. I just hope summer arrives soon, and if worst comes to worst, an early vacation never hurt anybody anyway!

XOXO

With Spring Break already having sprung upon us (punny, no?), and just around the corner for the rest, a post about essentials is essential. In the Spring and Summer I always like to be minimalistic - whether that means wearing fewer layers of clothing or makeup. Today I've compiled a list of what I consider essential - minimal with just the right amount of sass. I love bold brows to give the eyes a pop without any mascara; they help frame the face in astonishing ways. I'm also the girl you'll see wearing no makeup other than a bright, bold lip - but I have good reason! When I was young (first getting into makeup young) I took a trip to ULTA. It was during the summer and I was greeted by a charming young lady, and since I was young she wasn't going to recommend me any over-the-top makeup. What she did tell me, however; sticks with me to this very day, "Sweetheart, a bold lip color would look lovely on you and would bring all the boys at the beach your way," of course after this came, "don't tell your mother I said that". Of course I didn't, but I did listen to her advice - ever since then a bold lip has become my go-to for every occasion. I promise it wasn't all for the boys!


XOXO
