On a Safari

On a Safari

Summer style is much more interesting to me than winter style. I love the vibrant colors, the fun trims, and the fact that I don't have to cover up with a coat. I love wearing a pair of "statement shorts" and a cute top with a casual shoe all throughout the warmer months. It's pretty much my summer uniform and today's look is no different. I found these safari shorts back in March and knew I had to have them! I love the sherbet colors mixed with natural greens so make for a s

The Mock Neck Top You Need

The Mock Neck Top You Need

Last weekend my neighbor texted me as the sun was setting if I wanted to take advantage of golden hour that evening. I am never one to turn down a photo opportunity, so of course I threw myself together and headed off with her to snap a few pics. With the sun setting in 40 minutes, we didn't have time to scout a location or travel a far distance, so we ended up venturing into downtown Harrisonburg to find a few brick walls or store fronts that would make for a good backdrop.

The Easiest Neutral Look

The Easiest Neutral Look

Dressing up and going out with friends doesn't have to be complicated. Even I overthink what to wear to dinner with my girlfriends or out to a party, but I feel like I'm exhausting myself in the mean time. I love a simple outfit that I feel confident in and right now it's styling a neutral sweater with my denim skirt. This denim skirt is from H&M and only cost $25. I did a little extra distressing on them, but I love this high waisted skirt. It looks great styled with tights

February Wishlist

February Wishlist

Goodbye January and yellow February. February is one of my favorite months because it's the last few weeks of winter, but I can appropriately shop for pre-spring clothing. I am already making Pinterest boards full of pastels and baby animals. With February comes a ridiculously busy schedule, something I'm not looking forward to, but with busy days come the potential for incredible reward. Today I'm sharing my February wishlist which shares not only Ugg boots but a swimsuit th

Forget the Rules

Forget the Rules

Forget what you've heard, you can wear white jeans past Labor Day. I know it seems like traditional fashion exiles those who style white post Labor Day but modern fashion appreciates, accepts and sometimes even encourages it. After all, we love a good winter white outfits and apparently, so does Vogue. Styling a summery white outfit after the first week of September can seem a little daunting after classic styles told us time and time again that it was a big no-no, but when d

Weekly Skinny: October 10th

Weekly Skinny: October 10th

It's 60 degrees and sunny from here. The beginning of the week was so ridiculously hot. I gave tours and was seriously sweating through my tour polo on Monday afternoon. From here on out though, it's looking like Mother Nature has decided Virginia would be receiving crisp 60-degree weather for the next several days. I can't wait to pull out my favorite pair of J. Crew toothpick jeans and heathered mock turtleneck to wear on Friday. What I'm Eating: I haven't tried out any new

Fashion Forward with Forever 21

Fashion Forward with Forever 21

When I went home this past weekend I stopped by Forever 21. JMU only has a Target and an H&M so I never really get the opportunity to go shopping at Forever 21 throughout the school year. I must say though, their newest fall collection is so adorable and chalk full of plaids, knits, and blazers. The thing I love about Forever 21 is how trendy, yet affordable everything is. I know they sell fashion forward pieces but they're worth investing in because at the end of the day, it

Fall Wardrobe Starter Pack

Fall Wardrobe Starter Pack

I ran a poll on Instagram yesterday asking if I would make you mad if I started posting about Fall on the blog or if you were ready for changing leaves and cashmere sweaters. Over 75% of Instagram followers said they were ready for Fall, so here we are! If you were in the minority and were still loving summer, sorry this post might not be for you. Bookmark it though for when you're feeling Fallish --it'll come in handy then. These past few months I have really been enhancing

It's a Formal Affair

It's a Formal Affair

April is officially formal season, my apologies in advance if I missed your formal by a weekend! I know all different clubs, organizations, and Greek chapters are planning their formals so that means it's time to go dress shopping. I'm currently trying to fit three on my calendar (I don't think it'll work out!). Being on campus, there aren't too many great formal dress shopping locations around, so most of us end up shopping online. Dress shopping online can be such a tough t

March 30 Under $30

March 30 Under $30

I am so enjoying Spring apparel right now, if only the weather in Virginia would catch up! It's going to snow four days out of the next ten, which is more snow than we have seen throughout all of Winter here at JMU. I'm sick of thick sweaters and layering a sweatshirt, with a vest, with a parka just to keep warm. To combat this drab weather I'm experience, I'm back again with another 30 Under $30 post. I've been working on this post all week long and am really thrilled to fin

Monthly Must Haves: February 2018

Monthly Must Haves: February 2018

Can you believe it's already February?! I surely can't! As I was collecting my wishlist for this monthly must haves list, all I could think about was Spring. It seems like that's just about all brands can think about too. The sweater are getting thinner, turtlenecks are getting shorter, pants are getting cropped, and we're moving away from thick wool, into lighter long sleeve blouses. It's nice to see pastels start to pop up and see more colorful shoes on the market as well.

10 Glitter Items You Need in Your Closet

10 Glitter Items You Need in Your Closet

By now, it's no surprise that I love glitter clothing. I know it's not for everybody but I think you can easily and tastefully incorporate it into your wardrobe without overdoing it. I understand glitter can sometimes be hard to wear, but when getting ready for a night out or for a date function I always like being a little bit different from everybody there and glitter is the way to do it. Every time I see brands come out with new arrivals, there's always at least one glitte

30 Items Under $30 for the Pre-Holiday Seasons

30 Items Under $30 for the Pre-Holiday Seasons

I love being able to share inexpensive, affordable, and still cute items with everybody on the blog. Sometimes you read blogs from women who share the most expensive and out of reach clothing and it can be extremely frustrating at time. Yes, I want that Nordstrom dress too but groceries > a $200 holiday dress. I spent hours last night rounding up my thirty favorite items that are under $30. I shopped at stores such as Target, H&M, SheInside, BooHoo, and Forever21. In this col

Garnett's on Park Avenue

Garnett's on Park Avenue

I got a little lost the other day when exploring downtown Richmond and I stumbled upon this cute little cafe called Garnett's off of Monument Avenue and Park. Actually, my friend, Gillian, was the one that spotting it originally. It's the cutest little cafe with little snacks and easy meals. What I love about it is the decor. The cafe has the most adorable awnings as well as lush potted plants both inside and outside of the restaurant. For my outfit, I am wearing my favorite
