No Boyfriend No Problem

Let's be honest, there's many girls who are Anti-Valentine's Day.  I'm sure they all have good reasons too.  Some people even throw Anti-Valentine's Day parties.  I can't even lie.  I've always wanted to go to one of those.  When thinking of Valentine's day outfits, I had all of you in mind, so this post is for you. 







Top: Forever21/ Blazer & Leggings: H&M (similar leggings & similar blazer) / Shoes: JLO (gifted)
 Watch: Michael Kors/ Lipstick: MAC Russian Red 


I was trying to brainstorm and see what I could come up with for an outfit that would show I was anti v-day.  I spotted this top at Forever21 and literally laughed out loud because it was perfect!  The one thing I don't miss about being in a relationship are all of the problems that can occur. I paired this with my faux leather leggings because every time I wear them I feel like a badass lol  I really wanted this outfit to exude confidence in being single.









We all know the depth of my love for blazers.  It's never ending.  I really like styling them over graphic tops because it gives off that edgy yet feminine mix that I adore so much.  I added a red lip because I think it takes a lot of confidence to wear one and it went with the whole theme I was going for.  

Just for fun, I was throwing snowballs to see if my mom could catch me in action.  This was the best one.  Do you see the snowball in mid air? lol I'd like to think I was throwing it at all of the guys who have broken my heart! ;) 



This concludes my 3 part Valentine's Day segment: Date Night, Casual, & Anti- Valentine's Day.  I hope that there was something for everyone and that it gave you a little bit of inspiration.  Whether you are in a relationship or single, I hope that you enjoy the day and know that no matter what, you ARE loved.  My valentine is in Heaven, and I know he is with me.

Walking In A Winter Wonderland

We had a snow storm last night so I decided to take advantage of the pretty scenery that it left behind.  I know I am probably crazy for taking pics outside like this, but I have always wanted to shoot in the snow.  I swear the things I do for my blog! I only got a few but these will do :)






Coat, Shirt & Hat: H&M/ Leggings: Gifted/ Cardigan: C/O FurorModa/ Boots & Scarf: Forever21


I layered up as much as possible with a graphic top, long cardigan, coat, scarf, hat & boots. The only thing missing are my gloves which I lost somewhere recently :(  Time for new ones!  I swear I aways lose them. This coat is one of my favorites because it's the perfect length for winter and there's plenty of room to layer. My mom got me these leggings and they are lined with fleece material so they are actually thick and super warm for weather like this. 
 I was just going for a casual outfit but made it a little edgy with these studded boots that I got awhile back from Forever21.  I only wore them once and I have been contemplating on selling them.  I wouldn't normally walk around on snow covered streets & sidewalks with heels because with my luck I would fall and bust my you know what lol so I did it for the pics only.  Typically I would wear flat boots and bring my heels along with me wherever I go. I got this hat awhile back too and thought it would be a great way to keep my head covered and still look cute!


I really just wanted to do this post to show the pretty snow and that even in weather like this you can still look stylish! I hope you're having a lovely Saturday and don't forget to keep voting! Stay warm east coasters! 

XOXO

Heart You

This is part 2 of my Valentine's Day outfit post.  I know a lot of girls who are single and still want to celebrate this day with their other single girlfriends without getting too dressed up.  This could be a really cute outfit idea for a low key day/night or a casual dinner. It's just enough to get you in the spirit without doing too much.












Sweater: C/O Anthropologie  / Jeans: H&M (similar here) / Shoes: Bamboo (Mandee)
 Sunnies: Target (similar here


Love is in the air beauties and you can help spread it with this heart intarsia lightweight cotton sweater from Anthropologie! I can be really girly so I love anything with hearts. I have seen a lot of different style tops with heart designs but I think this sweater is perfection, especially for V-Day.  The color is amazing and it's super comfortable. 
I'm really into this peachy/coral shade at the moment, maybe because I am seriously anticipating spring (hurry back soon) I wanted to keep the pants the same color as the top just a shade darker.  This was my own little take on the monochromatic trend.  I've gotten so much colored denim from H&M for only $19.99.  Such a steal!

I have one more look coming for Valentine's Day.  I really wanted to showcase different styles for different scenarios because realistically, not everyone gets super dressed up for this day.  Just remember that even if you are flying solo this year you can still look fabulous, dressed up or dressed down :)

On another note, I made it to the FINAL ROUND in Cotton's Road To The Runway!  This is it guys, it all ends on Feb 12.  I still really need your support so please vote as much as you can every day!

Valentine's Day Date Night Inspiration

I decided to do a 3 part Valentine's Day Post including 3 looks for that day.  Everyone spends Valentine's Day differently depending on your situation.  Some girls are in relationships and go out on dates, other girls like to hang out with their other single friends, and some are actually anti Valentines Day.  So each post will reflect an outfit idea for these three scenarios.  First up is Date Night.  And if you are wondering if I was freezing while taking these pics the answer is YES lol. The things I do for my blog... all for the love of fashion! 









Blazer (similar) & Skirt: Forever21/ Tank: Target/ Shoes: Steve Madden (similar)/ Bag: H&M
 Lipstick: MAC Vegas Volt


The typical colors to wear for this love filled day are red and pink. But I think any bright/bold color will do. Shades of purple and coral are really pretty and will definitely make you stand out amongst a red filled crowd.  I fell in love with this multi colored peplum skirt and when I found this coral blazer I knew that it would be a perfect match.  An outfit like this is great for a romantic dinner or drinks with your boyfriend/husband or even a random V-day date :) I am not in a relationship but this is something that I would definitely wear.  I added a coral lip, white top and nude shoes to balance out the look with my gold accessories.  Just add a fab coat and you're good to go! I know these sleeves are long on me and typically I would roll them up but it was too cold out!

This outfit really makes me miss spring/summer so much!  I can't wait for the warmer weather to come! 
Look out for part 2 coming soon :)

Excess Baggage Shoot

Hi my loves! I am so sorry for the lack of outfit posts lately.  I have literally let this contest consume me the past few days. I really haven't slept or eaten much so I am trying to take this day to get some rest.  I thought it would be the perfect time to share some of my photos from the Excess Baggage shoot I did in LA for their look book! It was a really fun shoot and we did it at a beautiful location.  I styled my looks, my hair/makeup was done by Amberlee, and all photos were taken by Luke Pearsall.  I hope you like and these were my favorites! 
























I also got to take some pics together with my blogger twinnie Melanee, here's a few! 






I will be back with new outfit posts soon. I have a cute/fun idea for Valentines Day so hopefully I can make it all come together! And please keep voting for me HERE
