Style Crushes

Hey friends! So I hope your week has been good so far. I hope it is full of christmas carols and cheery decorations. I love christmas music so much (especially Michael Buble)  but it isn't cold yet here in Athens so it is throwing me off just a little bit.

I was talking to my mom today, and she seemed a little concerned about me after my last post. Well let me explain. First of all, I'm totally fine. I had just been thinking about that topic for awhile and how true a statement "Life is Hard" really is. I'm not just talking the big deep emotional stuff...but i'm talking about the day to day things. It's just not always easy, but it's always worth it. If you missed the post you can find it here. 

So to change the subject and talk a little more light heartedly, I wanted to share the clothing items I am crushing on for this winter. I hope you enjoy!

                                                 

                                        Red  Bow Dress //  Funky Crop Top // Black Skirt 

Red Dress- Well isn't this just the best dress you've ever seen? It's so simple yet so pretty. The bow sold me.. and it was love at first sight. Perfect for a holiday party where you want to stand out! The shoes on the model are so cute as well!!!

The Crop Top and The Set- Okay so this is the major style right now: Having an outfit set usually a involving a crop top. This one was found on the Nordstrom website and is just so cool. The pattern stands out and the best thing about it is that it can go with so many bottoms like jeans, high waisted shorts, or a...

Black Skirt - Yes, the crop top will go great with this skirt, and there are so many skater skirts out there that are shorter than this one. I live and breath my black skirt (which you will definitely be seeing in outfit posts soon)! It is just so simple to throw on for any occasion. I also have the ability to create any outfit possible with such a plain but stylish skirt!

I hope you liked my holiday crushes. I definitely have my eye on a lot of things this season, but these are some main pieces I look for when I shop. Hope the rest of your week goes great! Keep on keeping on and Happy Holidays! Stay tuned for more!


 What is your favorite part about the Holidays? Do you have any style crushes of you own?

Fall In Love With Color

Hey guys! Hope your week has started out great! The forecast says sunshine for tomorrow so I'm keeping my hopes up for an amazing day! Also in my church service today we talked about choosing joy. I challenge everyone to choose joy over sorrow and comparison (read my post "Let's Get Real" here)!

I don't know about you, but I love my neutrals. Black. White. Grey. Tan. And all that jazz. They are great because they can go with anything, but right now I'm loving this magenta color for fall. It is so pretty and a different fall color than the usual oranges and reds. I have rain boots similar to this color, and you know I've been wearing those a lot recently.

Another thing that really makes this outfit is the jewelry you see me wearing. It was handmade by my very own sister, Lucy! She has been making such beautiful and trendy items inciting huge statement pieces like this. Check her out on Esty at Lucy Stone Designs!

Well thats all I have for today! I hope you're loving this color as much as I am. I can't wait to pair this with black jeans and maybe a skirt!!! Oh and it's from my favorite resale shop in Atlanta, so you won't be able to find the exact shirt, but keep your eyes out for this amazing color. See ya thursday! Remember to CHOOSE JOY!!!

 

What's you favorite pop of color for fall?

1 Dress 2 ways

Hey guys! So I don't know about where you live, but here in Athens the sun finally came out. I was s tired of the gross rainy and sometimes misty days. They just suck your energy out of you and put you in a dreary mood. I'm thankful that's over.

So today I want to share my absolute favorite LBD from Brandy Melville. I found it in the shop in New York 2 years ago and probably have worn it 100 times since then. It seriously goes with anything, and you can get so creative when it comes to putting together a look. Love Love Love this dress! It is a must buy for any season, and you won't regret the purchase. It's simple and cotton, but can be dressed up or dressed down.

Here are two looks that I have put together. One is more casual. I would wear it to go shopping or meet a friend for lunch. By the way it is so comfortable and easy to wear. I paired it with my converse and an arrow head necklace. The purse is a small leather cross body that was bought in Italy by my sister (shoutout to LUCY).

 The next look is the same black dress but shown in a fancier way. I added a long cardigan from Dress Up and a long necklace. This whole outfit is very flowy and elongated. I added heels so that I didn't look too short. I wore this outfit to a Sunday brunch this past weekend when my parents were in town. It was so comfortable but also gave off a more sophisticated and dressier look.

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy the pictures. As you can see by the picture above I get so nervous while taking these because there are so many people around. It's hard to not be embarrassed, but I think these turned out pretty well. I'm starting to get the hang of this whole blogging pictures thing, but I know I have a lot to learn. Stay tuned…because I might surprise you!

Comment about your LBD!
