Spring Look

Hi, friends!

Today, I'm sharing with you one of the looks that I'm loving for spring and planning to style soon! Denim skirts have made a huge comeback, I must say! I used to have one has a little girl but I never liked wearing it. I love chambray and probably own too many chambray shirts #sorrynotsorry. How cute is this white blouse from Madewell?! Tying tops in the front is a fun, girly way to add something different to a simple look. I recently got this top from Anthropologie and have been obsessed with this trend ever since! Speaking of trendy, I've seen these sunglasses everywhere on Instagram! I'm not sure I could pull these off, but comment below if you have these! I recently got this necklace and these platform sandals! I've been eyeing these types of sandals for a while and when I saw Target had them for under $30, I knew I had to get them. I purchased them in gold! It will be a fun way to spice up an outfit. This bag look just likes a Chloe dupe! 

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Thinking Spring

Hi, friends!

Today I'm going to be sharing with you all some much-needed outfit inspiration for spring. The weather here in Georgia is ridiculous! One week, it's high 70s, then the next it's freezing! Spring is just around the corner on the calendar! Usually, spring is my least favorite season. I'm not a fan of the pinks, yellows, and mint colors. But this year, I'm looking forward to spring. Darty season is almost here and I'll hopefully be more motivated to workout in the beautiful weather!

Of course I had to incorporate some black & white outfits. In case you didn't know, that is my favorite color combination!!

Thanks for reading & happy Monday!

Happy Monday, friends!

A couple of weeks ago, my friends and I took a road trip to Nashville, Tennessee. I've always wanted to go to Nashville, so when we had a 3 day weekend, we knew it would be the perfect opportunity to get away from Athens. My friends sister attends Vanderbilt University and she was so gracious to let 5 girls stay with her! Naturally, we snapped a ton of pictures. Here are some we took! 

Patiently waiting outside Biscuit Love!

My Favorite Perfumes

Hello, all! 

I received a couple of perfumes for Christmas and I thought it would be a perfect time to share with you all my favorite scents. Some are new and some I have used before!

Urban Outfitters Hair + Body Mist

Chloe Perfume

Tory Burch Perfume

The Urban Outfitters is a new scent I received this year. I thought it would be the perfect scent to spray on for class if I didn't want a very heavy scent. I picked up the Chloe perfume over the summer for the beginning of the school year. My mom had a mini travel-size perfume that I used and I fell in love with the scent so I decided to give it a try! Lastly, the Tory Burch perfume is a scent I have always loved. I first tried it out my junior year of high school and my mom gifted me with this gift set for Christmas!

Honorable Mentions: Gucci Guilty, Chanel N.5, and Chanel Coco Mademoiselle

Holiday Decor

Hi, friends!

Today, I'm going to be sharing some photos of my room and how I decorate it during the holidays. I was excited to come home from college and put my lights around my mirror. 

I like it best at night and that is when I shot these photos.

My favorite candle around this time of year is the Fresh Balsam from Bath & Body Works! It smells soooo good and is perfect for the winter time.

Last week, my friends and I took a 'daycation' to Asheville, North Carolina. Asheville is the neatest town and has plenty of great shopping, restaurants, and is home to the Biltmore Estate. We even spotted some snow on the mountain top on our way up there! 

I found these two signs in Mast General Store and I knew I had to have them. I love the quote and how cute is that cow?! My dorm room is lacking wall art so I will probably take these back to college with me.

Thanks for reading!

Lipsticks of the Season

1 /  2 /  3 /  4 /

Hi, friends! 

When I came to college, I knew I wanted to get into wearing lipsticks. I was never a fan before because I couldn't find a color that I thought looked good on me. I recently purchased the Nars Velvet Lipstick and it is so good. I realized I look better in a pinkish nude color. It stays on forever! I also have the Bobbi Brown Lipstick which is perfect for game days and the holidays. As you can tell, I have listed above the color KoKo K Lip Kit by Kylie Jenner. Many people were skeptical of her lip kits but honestly, they are sooooooo good. I know I said my Nars Lipstick lasts forever, but so does Kylie's lip kits. It goes on very smoothly and it makes your lips look instantly fuller. My #1 tip would be do not apply chapstick or any sort of moisturizer to your lips before applying the lipstick because it is a matte formula that needs to be applied with dry lips. This Chanel lipstick is very vampy-perfect for a night out!

What are your favorite lipsticks of the season?
