Tumblr Thursday: Random Musings

Oops! I forgot to do my "Tumblr Tuesday" this week! I've been so caught up in midterms that I've had no free time to browse tumblr, online shop or even enjoy a cup of coffee! (Oh, what a life I lead). Still, I thought Tumblr Thursday would suffice this week. Forgive me?

A Need for Neon

Do not let the cold and dreary weather get you down these next fews months. Spice up your look with a pop of a neon clutch to keep your spirits high! Neon is the perfect accessory in winter because it brings a dash of color to a boring backdrop. One of my favorite purchases is a pink, neon clutch from Aldo for about $20. I paired it with a tight, bandage dress, blazer and heels to make my look fun and edgy. If you don't have a neon bag, be sure to pick one up so you can breathe some life into your winter wardrobe!

Prepster on the Loose

I want to live in a J.Crew magazine. Period. It always pictures a classic American family enjoying preppy time on the beach, in their preppy clothes, with their preppy dog, in the preppy weather, drinking preppy drinks and talking about preppy things. I'm far from preppy, but I'd like to be.

I've starting doing my research and I've realized I've got to start buying Vineyard Vines, The Frat Collection, Jack Rodgers, Polo Ralph Lauren, Patagonia and of course, Sperry. I've complied a collage of what I like to think of as perfectly preppy. It contains pieces from a variety of stores, and I'm hoping it will be a good start to a J.Crew lifestyle.

Happy Friday

Happy Friday! The weekend is finally here! Time to kick off those tight jeans and heels and live in leggings for the weekend... just kidding! Fashion never takes a break, so don't let the laziness of the weekend get to you! Aim to look cute this weekend to keep you motivated and working hard. Enjoy, relax and spend quality time with family and friends!

Mad for Mint

Although February may bring special attention to pinks and reds, I have my eye on another trend. Mint has been a trend for quite a while now, and I'm totally onboard! Mint has been shown since the summer through accessories and nail polish, but now it's starting to make its way into shoes and clothing. I think mint is the perfect color for winter, it's bright pop of color cheers up a dreary day and outfit.

Tumblr Tuesday: Sparkle On

Let it Shine

I am DYING over this new trend! Metallic toe shoes have been showing up store windows, magazines and on countless blogs. I've been eyeing a sold out pair of metallic toe heels from Zara on Ebay for $120, hoping it'll go down in price!

What I love about this trend is the versatility it brings to any outfit. The colors I've pictured below are all a neutral tan/cream, that can be worn with almost anything. The pop of the metallic toe brings the shoe, and the outfit, to a whole other level.

Heels can bring sophistication to a simple pair of flare jeans.

Gym shoes can bring an edginess to leggings and an oversized sweater.
Flats can bring boldness to skinny jeans paired with a blazer for work or play.

The versatility and edginess of the shoe makes it the perfect accessory for any spring wardrobe!

Warm and Cozy

Snow has finally begun to cover the sad looking sidewalks, and my nose has turned a constant shade of bright red. Winter is finally here, in all its glory. As temperatures begin to drop and snow starts to fall, it can become difficult to stay warm and not look like the little brother from "A Christmas Story." Layering can be difficult; it can seem bulky, uncomfortable and even too warm. Here's a few different looks you can try out under your winter coat. Accessories like scarves, gloves and hats can keep you warm and cozy, without all the hassle of piling on twelve different sweaters.
