Summer Staple

In the summer no one really wants to pull on some jeans, but at one point you run out of shorts to wear... so what do you wear instead? Dresses! I love dresses, they are my summer staple and I reach for them practically every weekend.  I know I always say this, but they are just so easy.  You get a whole outfit without having to pair things together.  So for me, dresses are a lazy girl's best-friend,  Plus there are so many different cuts that you are bound to find one that fits you perfectly,

The t-shirt dress is perfect for casual days where you want to be comfy but still look put together.  T-shirt dresses are usually quite simple, so you can accessorize at your own whim.

I just wanted to remind you guys that Nordstrom is having their yearly anniversary sale in 3 days!! Keep a lookout for a anniversary sale guide next week, I will be posting my picks for the fall.

July 4th

Happy 4th everyone! I have finally decided to share this video with you guys.  First off I would just like to say that this video, although short, took months to complete and edit.  I would like to take this time to thank everyone who helped me create this video, you guys are truly amazing!

 This video was my fashion project for the application to get the chance to be a Nordstrom Ambassador.  I got the letter in the mail a couple days ago, so all the time put into this video was truly worth it! I am so excited for this chance to represent Nordstrom and just get to know the fashion industry more.

This video's prompt was to answer the question: why do you love fashion? It took a lot of pondering on my part to get the feelings I feel about fashion into actual words.  I have come up with three reasons, and I can truly say that I am satisfied with them.

Thanks for reading/watching!

Jacket Details

I'm back... and back for good! Summer break has just started so I will be blogging more regularly.  School ended with a grueling finals week that left me a little under the weather.  But now that I have recovered, I am ready to blog again!

Lately I have been OBSESSED with this new jacket! I bought it at Zara a couple of weeks ago, and I just think it is a great item because it brings a cool, effortless vibe to anything you wear. It can give any outfit the right amount of edge.  You can also dress things up with this jacket by accessorizing it the way I did.  I chose to wear shoes with silver buckles and a silver necklace to complement the zippers on the jacket.  I think this is a very easy way to put together a outfit that looks complete and polished. 

Also, let me know which format you guys prefer.  Do you guys enjoy the new format I have been using for the last two posts, or should I revert back to the old format? Thanks for your input, it really means a lot!

Happy Easter everyone! I am trying out a new formatting on the blog, by posting one picture then writing, let me know how you guys like it! Recently I have been LOVING this pair of jeans.  They are so comfortable, and easy to style.  I have been reaching for them everyday that I have been running late... which pretty much means everyday :P 

I found this new gorgeous spot for pictures while driving near my house!  I was taken by surprise because it is so close to my house, yet I had never seen it! My sister and I took the quick trip down to this no-longer in service railroad to take these pictures.  Yeah I know what you guys are thinking and it is very senior picturey, but I couldn't resist! I love how the light hits and just how whimsical it looks. 

The denim on denim look- also often called the Canadian Tuxedo- is one of my favorite looks because it looks so effortlessly fashionable.  All you need is a pair of jeans and either a denim shirt or denim jacket.  Some people are totally against the denim on denim look but I personally love it! Ever since breaking this fashion rule has been "okay" I have started to  experiment more with the different types of denim and which washes look the best together.  I have found that one of the easiest ways to wear denim on denim, without looking like the infamous photo of denim gone wrong on Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake (here is the picture if you haven't seen it), is to mix up the washes of the denim.  For example, you could do a dark-think black- wash jeans and pair it with a light denim jacket, or denim shirt on top.  Also you could vary the weight and feel of the different denim pieces.  For example you could pair a distressed pair of jeans with a thicker, more structured denim top.
