Style: The Four-Season Flower

October 16, 2013


I don't know if I share this impulsivity with everyone, but sometimes when I'm browsing the internet and I come across a certain trend or piece of clothing I HAVE to have it! I usually see a piece of clothing out of my price range, so I scour cheaper websites or the sale sections, load up my debit card, and ship it express to my house. My mindset is always, "my style will be all perfect and put together if I have this ONE piece."
So, that happened with designs of daises. I've been seeing daises on everything from dresses to leggings to bralettes. I saw some in the summer, and now they're transitioning through the fall. It's a whole new type of "floral" patterns, and to me, it's the evergreen of florals. It can work through summer, winter, fall, and spring. They work in the warmer months because of the summery colors and design, and it is usually on the back drop of black, so it works in the winter and fall. Jac Vanek has weaved it in effortlessly into her line with Element at PacSun. I adore every piece. Here are two of my favorites:
Daisy skater dress - $44.50
Bralette - $29.50

I adore Jac and her feel-free attitude, it effortlessly flows into her clothes. I will definitely be adding more daisy pieces to my wardrobe, whether they be impulse buys or not. What's your obsession of the moment?

REVIEW: TDCC In Boston!

October 09, 2013

Two Door Cinema Club, a four-piece Irish Indie Rock band, has been blazing the indie music scene since their start in 2007. However it wasn’t until the hits “What You Know” and “I Can Talk” gained success on their debut album “Tourist History” things started to pick up. Now they’re headlining an tour across America and spent two nights in Boston this past weekend, October 5th and 6th at The Royale nightclub.

They must have felt home with Boston’s overload of cozy pubs, because at the end of their set they thanked us for welcoming them so warmly to our lovely city. Being the gracious hosts they are, they chose two amazing up and coming indie bands to open for them. I can foresee these bands picking up fame as fast as TDCC did.

The first band was “Small Pools”. I loved how young and upbeat they were. Everyone usually just watched the opening acts unenthusiastically, waiting for the main event to go down. However, I was in no way passively watching this band perform. They played all of the songs off their self-titled ep. My personal favorite was an upbeat indie pop song called “Mason Jar”. The announced that once they get home they will be working on an album. I would definitely check it out to have summer jams to cruise around in my car.

The second band was “St. Lucia”, a five-piece band, including a girl on the keyboard, with a new wave, electric sound reminiscent of the band “The Shins”. With an 80’s era sound, they sure got the crowd involved.

Finally the main event, Two Door Cinema Club. I was too excited to sit still! They graced the stage well dressed and hair slicked back like the stylish Irish men they are. Flashing lights made the stage look like a rave and the wonderful indie rock filled the Royale. The y played some of my favorites including “Something Good Can Work”, “This is the Life” and even a song I was pleasantly surprised to hear, “Under Cover Martyn”. For an hour and a half I was on cloud nine. I would definitely say I am pleased with this being my first time seeing them, and would for sure see them again. They’re just going to keep growing in fame.

OOTD: PLEATHER AND CAMO

September 18, 2013

Winter and Fall make me want to douse myself in black and leather, however I'm no emo wannabe. I'm just keeping up with the trends, obviously! Last Fall and Winter it was the same deal, and black and leather are making a comeback. I'm bringing it in my my outfit, and my lips are a bright pink for a pop of color.
My outfit made me really happy today. I have a black tee from Forever 21 over my comfy VS Leggings, and over that I have my favorite fake denim and leather jacket from Forever 21. On my feet I'm rocking my favorite camo print shoes from Charlotte Russe. I accesorized the look with a head scarf from Claires and I'm wearing my Kate Moss for Rimmel London lipstick in shade 551.

Style: First Day of Classes Look

September 17, 2013


It's a bit late, but here's my official "first day of classes" look! This look is especially important because it's my first day of college classes! College is exciting so far! It was still warm, so I dressed for the weather in a navy blue American Eagle tank top, blue lace high waisted shorts from PacSun, a white crocheted vest and navy blue "Toms" style shoes from a flea market. I accessorized with a midi ring from Forever 21, my pandora bracelet, and a triangle necklace. Because of the inclement weather, I threw my hair up in my go-to topknot look. I love my black and gold chain Steve Madden from TJ Maxx. The props of working there! Anyway, I hope you liked this look. Let me know if you want to see any more college looks!
