Parisian Chic.

//Levi jeans//Silence+Noise blazer//Trouve booties//

I adore everything that is French or Parisian looking, so I wanted to choose an outfit that I feel embodies the Parisian way of life. I picked this classic striped sailor shirt when I visited Fontainebleau, France two summers ago. I feel like it is the epitome of casual French style. The overall look here is classy (haha) and cute yet wearable and sophisticated at the same time. Cuffed jeans, booties, a fitted blazer and a fresh face top the look off--now all I need is a new setting. Eiffel tower? Saint-Tropez? Versailles? Any of them will do just fine.

Printed.

Prints on prints on prints. When you're surrounded by all white, you've got to mix it up with your clothes! Even though it's about 50 degrees outside today, these photos are from a couple weeks ago when it was still wintry weather. 

Also, these are some lovely books that I recently received and can't wait to catch up on. Even if I never get around to finishing them they are perfect for sitting on my shelf as pretty decorations. Or instagram material...

Homestead Photo Diary

I spent winter break at The Homestead again this year; attending lavish parties, enjoying gourmet food, wearing strictly designer clothing.

Well maybe that's just how I imagined it.

I experimented with some new hairstyles and new colors! Instead of my boring day-to-day long hair, I tried out some up-dos like the milkmaid braid and the ballerina bun. Also, I stuck to a black palette which is really unusual for me. Here's to a new year and trying new things!
