Spring Style, Supporting Small Brands, & the Little Things

Hope you’re all doing alright. I’m having a bit of a down/un-motivated day today, I must admit, which I’m sure we’re all having a little bit more frequently at the moment. (I can’t wait to look back at blog posts like this and feel grateful that we made it through this hard time.) Hope you all had a lovely (indoor) Easter last weekend. I took a little blogging break so I could enjoy the holiday as normally as possible, but back at it this week.

For today’s blog post, I just wanted to talk about things that have been giving me a little bit of joy here and there during lockdown. Maybe they might spark a little joy for you too, and hopefully documenting them will remind me to be more upbeat and grateful.

Why Comfort is Key

There is a common misconception that fashion has to be uncomfortable, but today I'm here to bust that myth. Now, more than ever, comfort is becoming key. Along with the rise of athleisure (activewear made fashion-forward), comfort is driving a lot on and off the runways as of late. Louis Vuitton just brought out a pair of tennis shoes for goodness sake!...albeit not everyone's cup of tea. Fashion is clearly changing, and for those of you that have steered away from 'fashionable' items because they might be uncomfortable, now is your time to shine!

In wake of this, I thought it would be super helpful to talk about which comfortable, athleisure pieces to incorporate into your style, while still looking put together. Comfort and trendiness can go hand-in-hand, especially because, chancing are if it's comfortable, you're going to wear it more.

Spring/Summer 2017 Trends

I hope you have all had a lovely Easter weekend if you celebrate Easter! I, on the other hand, have been working and doing homework all weekend, but sometimes that's just how it goes.

I thought it was about time we discuss some of Spring/Summer's hottest trends. Spring is such an exciting time to re-vamp your closet and inject a little color and fun. I always feel incredibly inspired by the blooming flowers, the crisp air, and the warm sun. The trends below are the perfect embodiment of those things, that you can actually wear. So get in the spring state of mind!

The White Shirt: Reinvented

I hope you're all having a fun and relaxing weekend. This week, I thought I needed to discuss the revival of the white shirt.

Your classic white button-up shirt is getting a major revamp this season. We are seeing updated white shirts adorning every fashion blogger and celebrity, and the best thing is that it's easy to get on board yourself.

Color Forecast: Spring 2017

So spring has finally sprung, and the weather is slowly changing from dull and chilly to bright, crisp, and a little warmer.

One of the most wonderful things about spring, in my opinion, is the introduction of the color that was lost during those dull winter months. The flowers start blooming and that means your wardrobe can too! I've been thoroughly enjoying adding some pops of color back into my life the past couple weeks, so I thought I would research what colors will be trending this season so you can try them out too. Grab yourself a cup of tea and some chocolate, and let's talk color!

The Print of the Season: Gingham

I hope this mid-week post as opposed to my Sunday post didn't throw you off too much! Due to an overwhelming amount of school work and some crazy, inclement weather, I had to push the post back to today. I know..excuses..excuses, but let's get on with this post, and just maybe you can forgive me.

Spring 2017 has a bigger star print than the usual floral that floods the season. Let me introduce you to the print of the season...Gingham! This fresh, crisp print is an easy trend that we should all try to get on board with. This classic pattern is turning up everywhere, and let me tell you, there are a million ways to wear it!

Blazer Business

Hello lovelies! I hope you're all having a wonderful week and maybe tuning in for a bit of Wimbledon tennis. Since I received my new blazer from Baukjen, I was inspired to take the blazer out of the office and create two alternative ways to wear it; one blazer, two ways.

A Very Vintage Summer

Hello friends! This week, since summer is officially here, I thought I'd share with you my new favorite swimsuit and one awesome pair of shades! I have paired up with two amazing brands to bring you these beautiful, vintage-style pieces. I don't know about you guys, but I've become a regular pool goer in order to fight this growing summer heat. Also a beach trip is not far around the corner so a new suit was a must on my summer wish list.
