Welcoming February

It's finally February and the weather has finally given us a break here on the east coast. Even though it's a high of 30 degrees and to some of you that may mean tundra, for us it's a nice, comfortable winter temperature. To be honest, it kind of feels like spring compared to the last couple weeks where it was a high of just a mere 9 degrees.

But that being said. As the weather slowly gets warmer, I'm getting more and more excited for the spring trends this season. I've been in love with harem pants since last spring but the trend hasn't started an uprising until this year. If you haven't given them a try they're absolutely the most comfortable dress up or dress down staple that can be worn at almost any occasion. I love how stores are coming out with them in sweats versions and patterned chiffon versions that can easily make them dressier.

But another fashion trend that I'm in love for spring are strappy bralettes! They'll pair off with low arm holes and open low back tops! They can be easily found at any store but some of my favorites are the rose lace bralettes by Victoria's Secret PINK and the strappy bralettes from Brandy Melville USA.

Unfortunately, Punxsutawney Pete predicted 6 more weeks of winter. So I'll have to wait a little while longer to wear my favorite fashion trends. 

Spring Trends for Tops!

Today was incredibly tiring! I spent majority of my day traveling and unpacking. I woke up early to head to school and then I spent a lot of time settling back into my dorm. I tried to do homework but it was just impossible. I spent time catching up with people and hanging out. Tomorrow is going to be a slap to the face because it'll be the first day back after spring break. I am absolutely not looking forward to it. This week is already a bad week as it is with scheduling appointments on top of tests and midterms.

Anyways! With the warm weather slowly but surely approaching it's time to update our wardrobes! There are three styles I'm looking into this spring and summer. I love the tailored look so collars are always a plus. I love this black and white patterned tank with gold button detailing with a collar. It's perfect in the professional world in the summer time and also the perfect top to make casual pants a bit more dressy! I also  try not to neglect simple, graphic tee's. Although it is senseless to buy these shirts at Forever 21 because you can definitely get it for cheaper at your local thrift store and make it to how you like it. Last summer I was very into coral tops but this summer I'm attracted to mint hues more. I can't wait for the warm weather so I can start wearing these babies!

Pretty Little Liar Tuesday and How to Dress Like A Boss!

So. Another good episode tonight. While I was watching, I was indulging in some yummy mint chocolate chip ice cream from my freezer. Which has been my newest obsession.

Today's blog post I decided will focus on fashion! Woo!

This beautiful, maroon/oxblood (whatever you would like to call it) peplum dress sported by Hanna in this week's episode is quite similar to the maroon peplum dress I bought from H&M earlier this month for $20 on sale! So if you'd like to snag it yourself, check your local H&M store. The blog post the dress was featured in can be found here

Now, if you'd direct your attention to Emily's beautiful half Filipino and half Irish/Scottish hands. She is wearing nail polish similar to the shade I bought a couple weeks ago called Don't Talk Bach To Me by OPI from the Germany collection.

Although, Aria is my favorite of the four... the style I can identify with the most has to be Spencer. In the photo above this one she's not really in focus but I love her blazer and bun. If you're feeling like a boss and you want to sort of up your look for the day do these two things:

1. Throw on a well tailored and nicely fitted blazer. It can go on top of anything you'd like. Tank top, plain white t-shirt, a man tailored shirt or even your favorite grungy band tee. You can either cuff the the sleeves or add a statement necklace like Spencer did in the photo. But either way, you already look ten times more put together.
2. Bun. I've said it before, but I'll say it again. A bun can immediately show off your jaw line, collarbones, and your entire face in general. Along with the blazer, you will look fit and ready to tackle the world. All you're missing it a boss attitude.

With blazers, you can easily change it up and go for a classical tweed style like how Spencer did in the photo with Emily. You can layer a blazer like that on top of a chiffon top or something soft to play up the rough texture of the blazer. Although in the show, Spencer can seem a little edgy and a little strong willed. But her style is on point. Blazer and a bun will make a boss's outfit daily.
