Thats So 70's Chic

 Juicy Couture Lenin Pants and Red Polka Dot shirt
 Marc by Marc Jacobs watch & Forever 21 Belt


I love this 1970's inspired style. My apologies that my beautiful leather Michael Kors bag is backwards in a few of the pictures! But I loved this outfit so much I had to post it. It is one of my favorite things to create outfits that resemble past decades style.

AFTER!!!

So today was a big time clean up everything day. I decided to revamp my make up case and make up collection. I have so much make up that last Christmas I received a Sephora Professional make up case. It is pink and really great for all of my make up because it has many levels and sections (which you can move around). The before and after photos of my case are insane, it was so dirty and really needed this face lift. As for the make up itself the photos show my favorite selections. I love to mix neutrals with bright colors when it comes to make up (Ex: white eyeliner, pink eye shadow, etc...). It took me a long time to acquire this collection of make up but I never feel as though I am missing anything (thanks to my Sephora Insider card) when I get ready for events or just everyday makeup.

Classic Never Goes Out of Style

This outfit is amazingly chic and classy. For any event, work day, or evening soiree. Looking polished in my opinion is one of the best ways to show people that you are professional, classy, and not trying to be anyone but yourself. 

Skirt: Ted Baker
Clutch: Jil Sander 
Bracelet: Monica Vinader

Playdate with Fashion





Ella Moss top, AG white capri pants, Ted Baker wallet, and Sam Eldman wedges. 

Today is my birthday! 20 is a great step in my life and to celebrate it my loved ones gave me many new gorgeous cloths and accessories! I love this light and playful summer look and had fun pairing it with one of my big sun hats. The lavender polka dot top is classy and light. My new Ted Baker wallet makes me smile ever time I take it out of my purse (it has a floral lining)! I am also in love with my new Sam Eldman wedges, so comfy and unique and in the trendy color of taupe. Hope everyone had a splendid day and weekend like I did! <3

A Few Things I Love about my Home

Collage, Fleur de liese, and shadow box placed next to each other make for a very personal feel.
This vintage cloths hanger lends great to hanging necklaces, headbands, or small purses.
My clothing rack that sits next to my dresser so I can display my favorite new outfits.
My new books and magazines that I have been enjoying.
Cute decorations for my desk.
Pottery barn on the mantle above my fireplace creates a cozy western theme for my living room.
The view from my couch. I love to get fresh flowers from the farmers market.
Here are two of my favorite pieces of art in my home.
From my desk to my living room, everything is totally me and completely chic. I picked out all of my art and decorations with the help of my fabulous mother and a few gifts from my boyfriend.

August Neutrals




Club Monaco Shirt, Forever 21 skirt, Rachel Roy clutch, Turquoise Necklace, and Envy shoes. 

It may feel like fall is on its way but I'm personally still hanging on to summer. I put this outfit together from inspirations of all of this years top trends: tan neutral colored clothing, clunky wooden heels, and bright colored clutches! August is the best time to go all out with your favorite summer looks, so be bold and have fun!

Santana Row








Always dreamed of shopping at Rodeo Drive but live in northern California? Go to Santana Row its amazingly beautiful and the shopping is very high class. You can sit on the promenade and sip iced tea instantly being transported to a small european town. Santana Row is one of my favorite spots to go and enjoy the day. I included my favorite stores to drool over "I Wish" clothing, shoes, and accessories.
