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!

It's never too early to start thinking about next year!!

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.

Tea Time

//Madewell dress//Cooperative heels//

Here's a couple photos from when I went to tea at the Ritz Carlton! I feel very Kate Middleton in this dress...sort of how she looked here. But maybe it's just the tea talking....pinky's up!

Been MIA lately.....but with winter break just around the corner I'll catch back up quickly.

All Things Glitter

Here is some inspiration for my holiday shoe style. I'm thinking a pinch of glitter, a dash of shine, and of course more glitter. Enjoy!

Fall Transition

//H&M pants//Nordstrom tee//DIY vest//Steve Madden desert boots//vintage sunglasses//

It's the time of year now where our bright colored clothes seem too summery, but our winter staples are too dark and gloomy. Fear not! It's easy to find a happy medium between the two during this in-between month. I decided to pair my kelly green pants with my dark gray long sleeve tee to contrast the light and dark hues. Then, by adding a pop of color with the scarf, the outfit gets a little warmth but maintains the boldness.

But that's enough of this color nonsense, more importantly I need to decide which shoes I want to get for the quickly approaching holiday season! Updates from my search will come later...

The (faux)Coveteur

Recently I've stumbled upon the website The Coveteur, a site that  "takes you inside the homes and closets of today’s tastemakers and influential icons so you can discover and shop their unique style."

Clearly the website is self-explanatory, but I love the way that the houses they feature are always glowing and filled with light. Here is my amateur attempt at creating that feeling in my room, without the professional supplies, designer clothes, or the New York loft location.
