Laid Back Wednesday

Hello everyone! Today is Wednesday and it is absolutely gorgeous out yet again! I am in such a Spring mood right now and I am loving it! Besides for the week almost being over, I am also beyond excited to see my sister in Rhode Island this weekend! It's going to be the first time visiting her (even though she is a senior) haha...We already planned out our adventures for the week..Some shopping, blogging (obviously), relaxing, and delicious veggie burgers and sweat potatoes of course!!! I have not seen my sister since Winter break and it's going to be great being back with her, just the 2 of us!
So for today's outfit, I was not sure what to wear. I knew I wanted to wear leggings, and my comfy, but I hate the "I just rolled out of bed" look. While trying to decide what to wear, an imagine of my style icon, Whitney Port, popped into my head. I remember her wearing uggs, leggings, and an American Apparel off the shoulder shirt. I decided if she can go for it, I can too!...So, for the outfit I wore grey leggings from Marshall's, white long tank from Target, off the shoulder stripped sweatshirt from Faces (store in Northhampton, MA= AMAZING), and my tall chestnut Uggs...This outfit is not a typical one for me but I loved it anyway. You need some days to ditch the jeans and grab the leggings..
Does anyone agree!?!

Back to the Norm

So yesterday was Valentine's day but today is a regular, wonderful day. Even though I do not have a boyfriend, or am "in love" with someone, I instead made it a day to love myself, and remember the things that make me happy such as fashion, my health, and my family and friends. After my fashion class last night, I had a relaxing, fun dinner with my friend who also was in no mood to celebrate this holiday. We ended up having a lot of fun and great Valentine's day
For today's outfit, I finally wore my sweater than I have been dying to wear! It has been sitting in my closet for months already, trying to find the right day to wear it on. Today I felt was the right day!...I wore my new winter boots from Bass, skinny jeans from Delias, grey t-shirt from Century 21, and my stripped sweater from Marshall's. 



Although my last class was canceled, I have a lot to do today! Besides just my work that I need to catch up on, I also have review sessions, meetings, and other errands to run! ahhhh where do I start!??!
How was everyone's Valentines Day? What outfits would you wear/did wear on a day like Valentines Day?

Back at school on Valentines Day

Sorry for another missed blog post but I was back on that horrible bus! I came back to school yesterday and although it was not as long of a trip as my other bus coming home, it was still extremely long and exhausting! Anyways, today is Valentines Day and I am just not feeling it. I don't exactly understand this holiday. If you love someone, shouldn't you do nice things for them everyday of the year? Maybe it's just me but I think this holiday is more about making the single people feel worse about themselves!...Anyways, I am not letting being single make me into a depressed, lifeless person. Instead, I am going to my favorite class later tonight (my fashion media class) and then going into town for a fun dinner with my friend who is also single. I think it's important to have fun on this holiday even if you don't have a boyfriend. Why shouldn't we get dressed up and have a fun dinner out just like every other couple!?
Today I decided not to wear my heart printed sweater because lets face it; Im really not Mrs. Valentine. Instead, I wore my grey Urban jeggings like always, with a green and white stripped shirt from J.Crew. It's beyond warm out today that I hardly even needed my leather jacket!...


Overall today is a great day and I just have to remember that I don't need to necessarily be "in love" with someone to be happy. Instead, I decided I am just going to love myself, and remember all the things that make me so happy!
Hope everyone is having a great day whether single or not!!!

Fun with mom

This morning was such a special morning. I went to breakfast with my mom and went to temple again. Ever since my grandpa passed away, my mom has been going to temple every Saturday morning. She really loves going and it means so much to her. I decided to go with her again this morning and it really was so special. I guess I matured or something because I actually enjoyed myself. I used to dread going to temple and sitting there for 2 hours. However, this morning was actually fun, and I loved being there to support my mom. 
After temple, I got my nails done which was great! I got a pinkish/orangeish Essie color. Im so ready for the spring so hopefully the springy color of my nails brings on some warm weather!
I also went to some stores with my mom and finally bought a dress to wear to one of my parties in 2 weeks. It's Free People and I got it for only $14!!!...It was overall a great day!
As for my outfit, it's not the best since I did not bring any clothes home! I decided to wear Free People skinny jeans, black oxfords, black Gap sweater, and a Bass grey/black scarf. At least I was cozzy!!
What is everyone's plans for tonight!? Going out or staying in???

Home Sweet Home

Sorry for missing a blog post yesterday but it took me forever to get home yesterday! It usually takes only 3 hours to get home from school, but yesterday it took a total of 7 hours to just get into the city!!! The bus was lost, late, and very frustrating! Don't you hate when you have been sitting in a car/bus/plane for so long and all you want to do is jump off!? Well that's exactly how I felt yesterday!.. After a 9 PM dinner, I came home, hung out with my parents for the night, and went to sleep. It was overall a very exhausting day which is why I was unable to post. 
Today is a new day and it is gorgeous out at home in New York!. I started off my day with a delicious bowl of oatmeal with raisins and went to get a haircut. I wanted to get it more layered and choppy. Can you guys see a difference???
For my outfit today I was in an insane rush so it's not my best! (warning in advance)...I am wearing my black wide leg seven jeans, white t-shirt from Forever 21, cream J.Crew sweater, and a red American Apparel Scarf. It was so warm that I didn't even need a jacket!! How great is that?...Anyways I am going out with my mom for the day and am so excited. I just love being home sometimes to get refreshed, and stress-free




. 
Hope everyone is having a great weekend and enjoying the weather! 
P.S...Is anyone watching out for Fashion Week!? It started yesterday and I can not wait to see what these designer's have in store for us!!

Honeysuckle

What is this word, "Honeysuckle" may you ask? Well, it is the new spring color. This color is a combination of pinks and oranges. This color is uplifting and strong. It instills a new confidence and persona. This color is predicted to be everywhere from women's clothes to cosmetics, accessories, and even menswear. Honeysuckle is also said to be a color used for home decor and electronic accessories. This color is going to be seen everywhere for the Spring days that lie ahead. 
What do you think of the color? I am absolutely loving it!!

Chilly and Chic

I just received great news! I got an e-mail the other day about an internship to write for an online website. This website has different sections dedicated to health, sports, news, and most importantly, FASHION. I sent an e-mail back with an attachment to my blog and received wonderful feedback. I really hope to write for this website and publicize my work more. I am so passionate about my blog, and would love to share it with readers. 
For my outfit today, I wanted to be comfortable and layered. I decided to go for black Forever 21 leggings, tan v-neck, (100% organic cotton) from Marshall's, multi-colored circle scarf also from Marshall's, and a brown, knitted sweater from the Gap. I was also fortunate enough to wear my leather jacket once again instead of my puffy winter jacket. Although it was a little chilly, I loved the edgy look the jacket gave to my outfit. Pain Fashion is beauty, isn't it? 




Do you tend to go for warmth or for fashion???? Should I call it quits for the leather jacket for the remainder of the season?
Hope everyone is having a great day and enjoying the warmer weather!
