Weekend Outfit Hangover

{Top: Target, Shorts: Abercrombie, Sunglasses: Old Navy, Bag: Mom's closet}

How was everyone's 4th of July weekend? Mine was packed with delicious foods and lots of fun. I ended up breaking out the old school board games and Mario Kart with the ancient game cube controllers.  I know, ancient right?! Since the weekend was filled with so many "ancient" activities I decided to pair the all-american tee and denim shorts look with a vintage Louis Vuitton bag that belonged to my mother who gave it to moi. 

I was definitely still in the mood for July 4th when I picked this outfit, judging from the amount of red I have on (pretty much all the red I have in my closet). 

Fact: The picture of me playing on my phone is what I look like 99.9% of the time.

Maybe its time for Spring

And one of me just being me. You would be surprised I actually make this face a lot:

{Jacket: Nordstrom BP, Shoes: DSW}

It is finally warm enough that I can just throw a jacket on and wrap a scarf around! After endless months of sweaters and winter coats, this little "warm" week was just the break I needed. This colorful jacket I picked up from Nordstrom BP a while back is surprisingly warm! I bought it thinking I would have to layer underneath for some actual warmth, but it is not only warm but really soft. Moral of the story? Don't judge a jacket by its hanger. 

Oh and I know it doesn't look sunny in the pictures, but trust me it was where I was facing. I am not one of those people who wear sunglasses no matter what (even inside) trust me, I'm not. 

Thanks for reading!

The Bomber Jacket

{Balmin, Johnny Cota, Marc Jacobs, Tracy Reece}

Hello ladies! Fashion week has been filled with amazing new Fall trends, but for those of us who are not lucky enough to sit front row at the shows, we can still look forward to the new Spring attire in the stores! 

From my endless hours of scrolling through Pinterest to the insane amount of window shopping I've done, I have decided that my latest Spring trend crush is the Bomber Jacket. 

What's not to love? It comes in different patterns, textures, and did I mention there are iridescent ones?! 

The Bomber Jacket just radiates coolness. Whenever I see someone rocking the Bomber Jacket on the street I feel the need to stop, create an aisle for them, and bring in the fans to make their hair blow back glamorously. 

So what do you say? Yay or nay?

Thanks for reading!

Personality Style Challenge

Recently I have been contacted by Brilliant Earth to take part in the Personality Style Challenge. So here it is! I have created this board for my personal favorite style- the minimalist/timeless. Whenever I am shopping I lean towards clean lines and clothing I can wear for a very long time. That is why I fell in love with the Rose Gold-Moon Earrings and the architectural inspired Fairmined Bar Pendant. Both of these accessories are timeless and can be worn with just about everything! 

Now I would like to introduce Brilliant Earth to all of you! Honestly, I had not heard of them before this, but after doing some research I found some drool-worthy jewelry. Brilliant Earth specializes in ethically sourced diamonds and engagement rings. They also donate 5% of their profits toward education, environmental restoration, and economic development.
