Fall Leather

I'm usually a little scared of leather, to be honest. It doesn't fit my typically classic and preppy style. But lately, I'm loving the little bit of edge it brings.

The leather edging along the neck of this dress is just enough to take it from a summer dress to a fall dress. I love how it's just a teeny edgy without being too hardcore for me.

Ah, the leather skirt. I didn't like it for so long, but it's growing on me, especially the skater-style. It seems super edgy, but I think the feminine silhouette paired with a preppier button up and a pair of pumps would make it much more my style.

I actually can't get over this tee. I'm always all about navy and white stripes, but the leather sleeves are just so...fall. I feel like I would wear this shirt every day. That's how obsessed I am with it.

I've been really into Asos lately, even though they (like leather) are a little edgier than my style usually is. Maybe it's real life looming in the distance that's causing me to panic and stray from my normal ways. Regardless, the leather pockets plus the warm sweater scream fall and I am a paycheck away from ordering this one. Sorry mom. 

And finally, the jodhpur leggings. I'm usually opposed, but I'm all about navy and black lately. These pants look (awkwardly) saggy in this picture, but they look super cute here. They're another item I could see myself living in.

I hate fall but I love fall fashion. And my birthday is coming up in a few weeks if anyone's looking for ideas...

Currently #2

Now that it’s officially April and Spring, I’ve made a decision to ignore the inclimate temperatures and act like it’s Spring until it actually arrives. As a result, I am into all things Spring.

I am Currently…

Wearing: Bite Beauty Quinta Lipstick | This is the perfect shade of Springtime pink. It brightens up my lips without overpowering my face. It was a little more expansive than I would have liked, but I love it a lot

Smelling: Kate Spade Twirl Perfume | I love all things Kate Spade, and this fragrance is no exception. My mom put it in my Easter Basket and I immediately fell for the scent. Unfortunately, Kate no longer carries this scent, but fortunately for me, T.J. Maxx does, and I might have snagged a tube of the lotion for when the spray runs out…

Shopping For: T-Shirt Dresses | What better way to look cute and work-appropriate than by wearing a springy t-shirt dress? I’ve recently become obsessed with this dress and this dress. Just add a necklace and some wedges and it’s the perfect spring outfit.

Listening To: Young the Giant Pandora | Pandora strikes again with it’s fantastic stations. I saw Young the Giant in concert last summer and loved them, and this station consistently plays happy, summery songs.

Obsessed With: Factory Anya Flats | Remember when I wrote about my obsession with cap toe ballet flats? Over break, J. Crew Factory had a 50% off sale, and I finally splurged on this pair. I’m in love. I wore them once and even the saleslady at Aldo complimented them. They’re perfect for adding a pop of spring to every outfit I own.

Loving: Shine So Bright Hair Balm | I have a personal problem with keeping my ends from splitting. However, after I bought this teeny product from Lush, my ends feel so much better. I use it 1-2 times a day, and my ends still feel blunt like I just got them trimmed. And it just smells so good.

Wishing I Could Afford: Kate Spade Devi Wedges | Last week when I was shopping at Lord & Taylor with my mom we came across these perfect wedges. Not only are they springy, but they have a bow on the toes, making them perfect. If only I had $260 to spare.

Busy Doing Nothing

Although its my Spring Break and I have actually been relaxing a lot, I also feel like I've been really busy.  Between shamelessly sleeping until noon everyday, applying to summer jobs and internships, and picking up a few shifts at the Pier (embarassing, I know) I haven't really had time to sit down and write a few posts.

So here's a few fun videos to watch and enjoy until I can get myself together enough to write some real posts. Sorry!

JGL Singing probably the best song...ever.

Jenna Lyons being fabulous, as usual. 

And the cutest video I have ever watched. Ever. 

More posts later!
