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.

Homestead Photo Diary

//Loft sweater//Madewell maxi-sequin dress-necklace//vintage boots//Nordstrom jacket//Primark leggings//Cooperative wedges//

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!

Sneak Peak

//Cooperative skirt//Madewell necklace//Atmosphere flats//vintage coat//

Basically it's too cold and rainy/sleety/snowy today to get any decent shots of my outfit, so instead I will give you a sneak peak! Stay posted for my post-Christmas posts. Say post again. Post.*  Hopefully tomorrow the precipitation will subside just for me.

On repeat: This was my Christmas Eve attire, same dress as last post but with a slight twist--stockings!

*I really hope you got my Mean Girls reference....it's a classic.

Check Please

I've finally mastered the art of the ever-so-chic half-tucked in, half-rolled up, messy disheveled look courtesy a la Madewell. Here's a glance at some of my inspiration... Oh yeah and I'm pretty sure I've already mentioned how much I luh-ve that store, but in case you've forgotten here's your reminder.

One Year.

//Urban tube top//Madewell shorts//Heritage chambray shirt//vintage purse//

Happy Blog-o-versary to me! Happy Blog-o-versary to me!.... Okay that's as cheesy as it gets, but hey, I think I deserve it! I really can't believe it's been one whole year since I started this blog! The truth is I'm still learning a lot, so it's not like I can kick back and relax now, because this is just the beginning.

On a more important note, I've finally figured out another way to wear my chambray shirt! I think that I subconsciously believe that if I tuck in, knot up, or wear shirts backwards, people won't notice that I wear them so much. Hmm...there could be some truth to that, because for all you know, this might not be the same shirt I was wearing in the last post...

Anyway, I love walking around Georgetown at night because it's always so full of energy and life. Of course I made the ever-important stop at Georgetown Cupcake, but I'm pretty sure that goes without saying.

Why not?

"A crowded neck is a happy neck" - The Man Repeller. So why not pile on as many as you can? 

I've decided that each month I'm going to to a post about the most recent Teen Vogue issue, as a form of inspiration slash information about the fashion world. I just love the way that they present the magazine in such a fun but informative way at the same time! Stay posted...

The Devil is in the Details

//Gap shirt//Madewell shorts//Enzo Angiolini sandals//Fossil watch//vinatge bag and watch//

Sometimes you just have one of those days, maybe you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, maybe you put your shirt on inside out, who knows. Can you guess which type of day I had? When I saw that I could read my shirt correctly in the mirror, I noticed something was up. That's when I realized how important the little details of life are! My favorite part of creating an outfit is choosing the accessories and styling the look because I really believe they can make or break an outfit. From now on I want to spend more time focusing on the smaller aspects of my outfit because I think they make all the difference. And if I do, maybe it will help keep me from looking like I got dressed in the dark. Which actually is what happened.

Sweet n' Sporty

I had a really nice adventure this weekend getting a free cupcake (banana split- yum!) from the best place ever....Georgetown Cupcake! Some of you might know it better as DC Cupcakes from the TLC show, but it's the prettiest, pinkest, and most delicious shop in all of Georgetown (which if you don't happen to know is located in a little city called Washington, D.C.) On our way home we spotted a Mother Goose-esque house with a garden on the roof! 

Anyways, as everyone should know, the olympics are in London this summer starting on July 27th. For their June issue, Vogue teamed up with olympic athletes and model Karlie Kloss for an awesome photo shoot that showcases the athletes and their sports. (See it here) It seems like everyone else is thinking about the olympics too, I saw an article in the Wall Street Journal about Olympics inspired sporty ensembles such as Tommy Hilfiger, Kenzo, and Isabel Marant. So although I haven't caught on with this yet, I've still got about a month to warm up to it. Until then, GO team USA!
