Ski Sweater

Do you ever have a piece of clothing that you put on and it makes you feel a certain way? This sweater is that piece for me! Every time I put it on, I feel like I need to be in an Aspen lodge, getting ready to go out skiing! Therefore, I shall forever be calling this my ski sweater. I wanted to fancy it up for this shoot, so I paired it with this mini skirt and some fun tights. But it's just as easily worn with jeans and boots! Okay ski sweater, you're my favorite.

Floral Midi Dress

I have to admit, I never thought I'd be one to wear a midi dress. I had only tried on a couple before, and they always cut me weird. Enter this beauty. I decided to try it on during the anniversary sale at Nordstrom, and I immediately fell in love. Maybe it's the high slit, maybe it's the perfect color? Not sure, but it's my new favorite and I definitely plan on wearing it throughout fall. (with a cute jacket and booties of course!)
Also, this is my last set of pictures from my trip to Charleston (sad face). Guess that just means I have to go again soon! Rainbow Row totally exceeded my expectations. So many gorgeous homes, in every color! I could've stayed there all day (if it hadn't been for the humidity).

70's chic

I can't believe this is only like...the third time my sister has been featured on my blog! I usually just forget to snap pictures of her, or she doesn't want pictures taken! (Or we're both in sweats and watch HGTV all day ;)) But she looked too cute on Easter, so I just had to make it a blog post! She was definitely 70's chic...and SO tall in those amazing wedges!

And I just had to include this picture as it expresses her true personality ;)

classic LBD

I think my favorite outfits tend to involve the classic little black dress. There is just so many ways you can style them, and they easily become the most versatile part of a wardrobe. There's always somewhere to wear an LBD! Today, I styled mine with a sparkly statement necklace and a contrasting coat. I love how the contrasting colors make each piece really pop and stand out!
(PS, a super fun giveaway is happening over on instagram!)

white christmas

I took these pictures a couple weeks ago when it snowed right before Thanksgiving, and it's definitely making me wish we had some snow right now! I always think that snow is so much more magical before Christmas....and then totally sucky after the holidays. So here's hoping for white Christmases for all!

holiday parties

So excited to be teaming up with Lindsay from Sugar & Something to show you how we would dress for all those holiday parties coming up! (And make sure to check instagram later today for a fun giveaway! ;))

I absolutely love Lindsay's sparkly leggings, and how seriously chic her outfit is! Pus, I'm experiencing some serious hair envy right now! Wanna do mine for me, Lindsay? ;)

I went the classic red and green route, and edged it up a bit with chunky gold jewelry and a leather skirt (told you guys you'd be seeing it a lot!). 

(Channeling Clara from the Nutcracker, of course!)

one dress, two ways: part one

I've come to notice that my wardrobe is seriously lacking in fall and winter dresses. So when I came across this one on Oasap, I knew I had to have it! It's the perfect color combo for fall, and it can be styled so many ways! And today is part one of that multiple styling!

Anyone else lacking in the fall dress department?

glam it up

So even though I'm waking up INCREDIBLY early every day for classes and clinicals, I refuse to be the person who wears sweats every day (I am okay with the on occasion. Maybe once a week. Talk to me again when it gets cold out.). So on Monday morning, when it was a little chilly out and I was exhausted, I threw on one of my comfiest sweaters (that's lightweight enough for this transition weather) and added some fun accessories and a darker lip to glam it up a little! Comfort and style in one ;)

do the ice cream freeze, strike a pose

(If you know what song the title is from, we should probably be best friends.)
Life update: officially moving out of the apartment today! Thankfully, I have my parents and one of my good guy friends helping me out. We'll be staying in a hotel for the night, and then headed home! (Since I can't move into my new apartment yet.) Bloomington has been good to me for the past four years, but I'm ready to move on!
The first night my parents were here, we went out for dinner and ice cream. And let me tell you, as great as it sounds to use ice cream as a prop in pictures, you WILL end up with it melting all over your hands. Thankfully, it stayed off my clothes and my new tank from TJMaxx. I absolutely love the bright neon color of it, especially against white!

(gotta have some good bloopers ;))
