TBT: Girly Grunge

Today is another throwback from when I was living in NYC.

I love this flannel top for a few reasons. The first being who doesn't love a cozy flannel? Seriously, most of them are just so soft, and comfy.  I just love wearing them on the weekends, when I want to look put together but be extremely comfortable.

The second, being I love, love, LOVE the sequins on the back. Seriously, how cute are they? For this specific look I went extremely grunge. I like the all black with the flannel being the main focus. I also think since there are sequins, and the main color is pink it makes it a little girlier than your typical grunge.

This top could easily be full on girly with some distressed skinny jeans, heels, and a different purse.

Throwback Thursday: Leopard Vest

I was cleaning out pictures the other day, and came across a couple of outfits I shot while living in NYC, but never got around to posting them. Since I have not been able to take pictures lately, I thought I would share them with you now. In addition, most of these items are no longer available. Therefore, I did my very best to re-create the look with similar items.

 This is one of my absolute favorite outfits, because, of the vest. I love fur, (faux of course), and I love leopard so, the minute I saw this, I had to snatch it up. On this particular day, my roommate and I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and then we walked through central park for a while. It wasn't freezing cold; which is why I paired it with this lightweight turtleneck, black skinnies, and some OTK boots. Then because y'all know I love my pop of color, especially with lipstick, I picked a deep red shade to keep with the dark theme.

Home Decor Inspiration

Hey y’all. First off, I want to apologize for the complete lack of styled posts lately. I really feel like since I graduated life has been non-stop, and time has been lacking more than usual.

 Today I am sad to say, this is not a styled post either, but rather inspiration. If you read my post, you know that I will be moving very soon. Yesterday I went to look for apartments in my new city, and let me tell you it was not fun, and extremely unsuccessful. I must say student housing gave me extremely unrealistic expectations about apartments. In college, I lived in gorgeous apartments with humongous rooms, brand new everything, hardwood floors, and every amenity and luxury you could possibly think of, all for a reasonable price. Let me tell you outside of college towns that is not the case; or at least not for me.

In honor of my search however, I thought I would share with you some of my decorating inspiration for my new apartment…if I ever find one.

P.S. My apartment search is currently on the backburner as I am headed to the Bahamas for a few days for a bachelorette party, so I guess life is not too terrible. :)

P.S.S. All of Target's bathing suits are on sale right now and there are some really cute ones. I'll be sharing the ones I snatched up on the blog next week.
