Way to Layer

{Dress: Marshalls, Leggings: F21, Scarf: Nordstrom, Boots: Nordstrom}

There is nothing quite like a little walk at Pike Place while munching on a delicious croissant and sipping hot apple cider. Winter here in Seattle is quite chilly actually, as I am writing this the snow is gently falling creating a beautiful white blanket.

When Winter clothes come to mind most people would think of the dark neutrals. But I tend to lean toward adding pops of color to a more neutral outfit.

Black Friday Inventory

{Nail polish: Target, Socks: Old Navy, Sunnies: Old Navy, Earrings: Old Navy, PJ Pants: Old Navy, Jeans: American Eagle, Sweater: American Eagle, Dress: Macy's, Shoes: DSW}

So as most of you know, Thanksgiving is a time for getting together with the family. However, some of you might also be aware of the day after Thanksgiving is Black Friday, a.k.a chaotic shopping time. The professional Black Friday shoppers know the secret that Black Friday is actually a lie *gasps* its technically Black Thursday. Many stores open Thursday night at around 8 p.m. This is the perfect time to buy all those holiday gifts for everyone you love (and yourself). But if you're me it means cardio for burning off that Thanksgiving dinner, and an excuse to put more clothes into the closet!

As of this year I just got promoted to professional Black Friday shopper. Yay! This year was the first year in which I decided to get a bunch of my friends and go Black Friday shopping at 9 p.m. Thanksgiving Day. Yep we were those crazy girls who line up for the malls. For those of you who have not gone Black Friday shopping before I suggest you do, BUT make sure you wear comfy shoes and have a cup of Starbucks with you to keep you awake!

On Black Friday I picked up quite a few items as you can see. There were some great sales; including the sale at Macy's where I picked up that gorgeous lavender dress (which I still haven't found an occasion to wear it too...Oops). Did I mention that it was buy one get one FREE?! Definitely one of the better sales. 

How was your Thanksgiving weekend?

Thankful for Turkey Day

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I hope everyone is having a great day, surrounded with family and friends.
To me, Thanksgiving is all about looking at all the things you have and being thankful for it all.  It is a time to not take everything you have for granted. It is a time where you get to have fun with your friends and family. So I will start with saying I am thankful for you guys, my readers. Without any of you guys I would not be blogging so thank you all! :)

Comment how you like to celebrate Thanksgiving!

Thanks for reading!

P.S. Stay tuned I will be posting about some BIG news soon!

Mad for Plaid

{Shirt: American Eagle, Jeans: American Eagle, Shoes: Sperry's}

For me Fall is the season for plaid-as you can probably tell from the blog title.  Plaid is one of those essential patterns you need in your closet.  It is super versatile and timeless. You can dress it up or down, and there is never a time where you shouldn't wear plaid.  

I, alone own about five plaid shirts, not to mention the amount of plaid scarves I have! I paired this worn out plaid shirt with crisp white pants to keep it neat and clean. 

Are you mad for plaid?

Thanks for reading!

Zip em' Up

Long time no see everyone! I always feel the need to apologize when I have not been blogging consistently.  So sorry! I will promise to try to blog as consistently as I can.  School and swim have just been overwhelming lately.

Anyways, I just bought these jeans ($15- SCORE) from Nordstrom Rack and I have been wearing them non-stop! The zipper detailing on the jeans create a edge on the whole outfit.  If you haven't found a pair of gray-wash jeans for the Fall and Winter; you absolutely should.

Thanks for reading!

Guess Who's Birthday....

So guys guess what happened on Saturday October 12? Oh yes it was my birthday! I finally turned 15! As most of you know, along with some delicious cake (chocolate for me) and candles, there are also presents at birthday parties!

This birthday I wanted to show you the physical things I got (not the gift cards- because that would be boring).  Mostly what I wanted to show you guys were the cobalt blue cross body bag I got, and the striped scarf I also received.  Oh and let's not forget the gray maxi skirt with a slit! If you were wondering all the things I just listed above were from Nordstrom BP.

Not really a fashionable shoe wear, but SUPER comfortable are the Adidas Adissage Slides I also received.  If you are ever looking for comfy slip-ons for after the gym, or just everyday use I highly recommend these! They feel as if you are getting a foot massage every time you walk with them on.  Personally, I use mine for after swim practices and at swim meets!

Blushing Pink

{Sweater: F21, Boots: Dolce Vita, Scarf: Nordstrom BP, Bracelet: Custom made}

This color has been my latest OBSESSION!  I kid you not, I have been falling in love with everything blush pink.  This color is such a pretty, dreamy color that it is hard not too!  After finding this sweater I knew I had to incorporate more of this barely pink shade into my wardrobe.  Even if you do not like pink, I suggest you try out this light pink it really is quite the thing! 

So what do you think? Light pink- please or pass?

Thanks for reading!

Street Style: London Fashion Week

{All images from Harper's Bazaar}

Good morning everyone! So here I have LFW street style for you today! My favorite outfit would have to be the last outfit because the sweater is so darn cute and the outfit is just to perfection!  Most everyone has a graphic sweater of some sort, and this is a great way to add an extra "umph" to a regular sweater. 

I will be back in a couple days with the Milan street style to top it off!

Thanks for reading!

Street Style: NYFW

{All images from Harper's Bazaar}

Hello lovely ladies! So as most of you know, NYFW came to an end a while ago, and while all the runways are amazing, so is the street style!  One of my favorite things about Fashion Week is seeing all the different ways people dress during that week.  Its always really interesting to see how people translate what they see on the runway to their everyday clothes.  

I love to flip through all the amazing outfits that people snap during Fashion Week. So today I have put together a couple of my favorite street style looks for all of you.  Hope you guys find some inspiration from them! 

P.S I will be putting up some pictures about LFW and MFW soon too!

Thanks for reading!

Plum Please

TGIF! Each Fall I tend to whip out my darker colors, and I usually am obsessed with a dark crimson red. However, this year I am craving dark plum (especially on the lips)!! Plum is such a rich, luxurious, beautiful color. It goes well with all skin tones, and can be worn in the day and at night. I mean what's not to like??

If you want to embrace the Fall trend for plum, you can always start with a lighter plum shade.  You can find plums of all shades in stores everywhere! 

Are you going to plead for plum or pass on plum? 

Thanks for reading!

Fashionably Comfy

{Top: Macy's, Pants: Tommy Hilfiger, Shoes: Sperry's}

Happy middle of the week ladies! My weeks has been super chaotic between school and swimming! How have your weekends' been?

This outfit has very quickly become one of my favorite outfits for Fall! I love the comfortable layers and how it keeps me warm and casual, but the pants keep this look clean and chic! It is definitely different than other outfits I wore, but I am going to embrace this new trend/style.  I was also told a couple times today that my outfit looks comfy, but also something you would see in the magazines as a interpretation of runway trends this Fall; as you can imagine I was pretty psyched about those compliments! :)

I will definitely being going out to purchase some more of these slouchy chic pants!

Till next time!

All About The Details

It is finally the weekend! Hooray! This weekend also marked the official starting of boot season for me! I finally whipped out these new tall boots of mine and debuted them this weekend! One of my favorite things about Fall is being able to wear boots, since they are my favorite footwear. 

This outfit is perfect for a walk in the city when it is a bit colder but you just don't want to wear a coat yet!  I also happened to pass by this really creative and unique wall right outside a library. Doesn't this wall look so cool??

Oh and by the way I chopped off my long locks!!! It was very exciting, and I felt that I needed to change it up since I haven't cut my hair that short in... Forever!

Anyways, hope you are all having a nice weekend!

Thanks for reading!
