Spring Break 2014

I've successfully neglected this blog for the past several weeks. Not on purpose by any means. I'm currently in the midst of my spring break which I've been really enjoying. I've seen a handful of my friends and spent some time in the gym with Mark. I've been on a new gym binge as of late and I'm not really sure what inspired me to do so. I don't think I had any sort of epiphany like most people say they do. I just woke up one day and said I was going to the gym and it started to become so routine that it feels weird if I don't.

I've been in love with the new spring trend with strappy bras and have had my eye on this particular one from Free People. It can be found here. I went to my local Free People only to find out that it's sold out/back ordered until sometime in May. If you're looking for a great piece to pair with low cut arm holed tanks or a dress that showcases your back, this is the bra to wear. I get a lot of questions as to how to wear such a thin, intimate piece. All I have to say is don't knock it before you try it! If you honestly don't think you could ever pull off such pieces, you don't have to be completely left out of the trend. Stores like Victoria's Secret carries added bralettes and bandeaus for those who need more support.

The rest of the week will be spent savoring the last bits of freedom and laziness until I have to head back to school for the last leg of the semester. I've been slightly worrisome over how my summer is going to look like. I've be anticipating landing an opportunity but the long wait that I've been experiencing last left me doubtful. Nevertheless, I just need to be patient.

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. 

On Trend for Spring!

I spent my day laying in bed, reading on my Kindle, eating, and trying to be productive. I woke up to more snow and rain but fortunately, by the end of the day, the sun came out to say hello. I watched the PLL finale with Alexa which seemed promising at first but I was fairly disappointed by the end of it. The episode absolutely did not reveal anything at all! It only provided more questions and I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE SERIES TO END. Ok, I love the show and all but I cannot agree more that the show is needs to come to a close. The plot is getting to elaborate and clearly, there is no continuity anymore but it still stands because it is addicting and most of the audience is comprised of preteens. I just need to find out who A is already...

Anyways, a trend I'm delving into for this spring are crop tops and high waisted shorts. Ok, before I get any weird looks from people who know me wearing this outfit, let me explain. High waisted shorts are meant for people who naturally have a longer torso than legs. Much like high low skirts and high waisted skirts, it gives the illusion of people with long torsos have short ones and makes it look like they are taller and have long legs. However, this does not mean people who have short torsos and long legs mean they cannot wear these.  I have a short torso and long legs so, for me, this outfit does not show my midriff. The crop top and shorts actually overlap, providing me no actual benefit other than just a cute outfit to wear. So if you are iffy about this trend, give it a go. It might give you a taller silhouette or cooling outfit for the summer.

Spring Break!

I have felt so bad about abandoning or going on a month long unannounced hiatus. But school has been overwhelming and stressful as usual so this blog has kind of been put off on the back burner. BUT since I am currently on spring break and that it is official spring somewhere by the end of this week, that means spring fashion is here! Although I am a "winter baby" my favorite season is summer. I just love the fashion and colors so much more than winter or fall. With that in mind, I have already broke bank on shopping for spring clothes!

This spring I am definitely delving into high waisted shorts, crop tops, bustiers, and bold prints. All of which is usually out of my comfort zone but since they are definitely on trend of this spring/summer I am definitely willing to try.

But honestly, I cannot believe that spring break is already here. I feel like I blinked twice and all of the sudden I am in the latter quarter of my freshman year in college. Seriously so much has changed, but of course, when has it not. I believe that there are good things to come and I have been trying to just live in the moments because before I know it, it'll be another beginning to another year and I'll be stuck living in the past. I hope the rest of the week turns out to be productive and filled with reconnecting moments! But as for tonight, I'll be busy catching up on Teen Vogues that I've missed while at school and enjoying the strawberry scent of my strawberry candle from Bath and Body Works.
