Gracefully Made

It's no secret I love a good blazer (check out this outfit post from last week).  My sister found this Kate Spade Saturday blazer at a thrift store (brand new with tags!) for only $20 and picked it up for me (you seriously can't beat it when you're sister knows your style so well like that)!

I'm already obsessed with this blazer, because with it's asymmetrical lapels (there's only one true lapel), it's pretty unique (and the green is just awesome).

This outfit is so stinkin' easy to put together, but it looks like I put a lot more thought into it; those are my favorite kinds of outfits, because it usually means you're super comfortable.

Casual Camo

Sometimes you don't feel like dressing up; sometimes you just want to do jeans and a tee but then you remember you have to go to work.  To solve that problem, I like to wear a crisp white top, that has some sort of simple detail, and then maybe some comfy pants with a print. This makes me feel like I'm more dressed up then I am, but I still look good for work (or going out)!

Blazers and Boyfriend Jeans

One thing piece of clothing I can't live without is blazers.  They go with everything.  Dress 'em up or down.  Same goes for a good pair of jeans. They're wardrobe staples. 

To me blazers and boyfriend jeans were just made for each other; they're just so effortlessly cool together (plus it's one of the easiest outfits to throw together!).

Trends I Love: Spring Booties

Say bye bye to snow boots and hello to spring booties!

Booties are my new favorite shoe trend.  I love them with boyfriend jeans for a casual vibe, or paired with a spring dress for a fun and flirty look!  Best of all, you can have them with heels, or flat, and typically they're more comfortable than a pair of high heels.

I love the desert color in particular (if you couldn't tell by my picks, lol) because they're so versatile and can be paired with pretty much any outfit.  They're a great neutral that can still add a lot of flair to whatever you're wearing.

What are your favorite spring booties?

Spring Blossoms

I'm so excited that I can finally start wearing skirts without freezing my butt off!  I've really started to take some fashion risks more now that I've started blogging.  A few weeks ago I was thrifting with my sister, and stumbled across a gold metallic top; I picked it right away because I was so drawn to it, but kind of thought that I would just wind up putting it back.  But as I thought about it I was thinking how this top was one of those pieces that was so quirky that it was actually cool.  So I bought it.  And now I love it.

I was a little skeptical about this Choies skirt because pretty much all of the models and bloggers who I've seen wearing clothes from this place are much slimmer than me.  I usually wear a size 12 or 14 in bottoms, depending on the brands, but I just couldn't pass up such a cute skirt for such a great price!  I ordered the large (which is what I usually order), and crossed my fingers.  And to my surprise, it fit fine!  The waistband stretches, so it fits comfortably and doesn't squeeze me at the waist (and therefore, no yucky muffin top).

Check out some behind-the-scenes-blogger-outtakes, because when I look back through all my pictures from a shoot these are my favorite because they're so hilarious!
And check out my Ariana Grande do!  I'm kind of digging the high, half-up half-down pony for spring.  ;)

Have you found a piece that you weren't too sure why you liked it, then after you bought it, wound up loving it?  :)

Weekend Recap

This weekend was a weirdly paced one.  It wasn't too busy since I'm still sick.  However, I did manage to have a little bit of fun when I wasn't feeling so terrible and wasn't either in bed or on the couch.

1.  My favorite outfit I wore was my palm frond graphic skirt with a crisp white tunic for an easy, fun look to celebrate the fact that it's finally warm enough to sport bare legs now!  I love the tropical feel of this outfit (I'm ready to have a cocktail at a tiki bar on the beach in this outfit!)

2.  Lunch Date with Richie by the water.  Being stuck in bed, when I haven't been at work, I had to get out of the house and get some fresh air!  I wasn't able to be out and about very long, but it was definitely worth it.

We stopped by a little burrito bar called, Salsa Salsa which was cute little place down towards the water.  Richie and I both got the giant, filling burritos and sodas in glass bottles (I'm a sucker for glass bottle sodas!).

We took a short walk down by the water.  It was so beautiful out, but surprisingly hot!  Plus being so sick, I've been getting tired very easily.  But I'm a firm believer that some fresh air (especially some salty sea air) does the body good!

It was so peaceful watching the sailboats go by.  If we would have picked up some ice cream, I could've stayed on the docks and watched the boats all day!

Going down port always feels like a mini stay-cation to me.  There's a bunch of little shops and restaurants around, and the hustle and bustle of the ferry makes it feel much more like a destination.

3.  A mani-pedi (a cup of hot tea) is one of the best ways to relax and unwind when you're sick.  Whenever I get a mani my go-to polish is usually Essie; they have a crazy amount of colors, and they all look gorgeous on your nails!

I'm really into lavender polish for spring, so for my fingers I went with the 'Go Ginza', and for my toes, 'Lapiz of Luxury'.  The colors are perfect and the names are so fun.  (Who can I talk to about becoming a nail polish namer?)

How was your weekend?  :)

April Faves

April was a pretty good month for me. I turned 24 (guess that means I'm kind of an adult now, lol)!  

I'm starting to become more confident as a blogger and really getting into the swing of things (posting more regularly, getting/taking more quality photos).  My personal style has also come a long way since I started blogging; I like how I look and feel good in the things I wear, which has definitely helped with my self-confidence and overall made me happier with myself! :)

I'm positive May is going to be a great month and I'm confident I'm going to improve my blogging even more!

Unfortunately, I'm still pretty sick, but I still wanted to share my roundup with you guys anyways (I promise I'll try and get the rest of the links up as soon as I'm feeling better!) :*
