Valentines Day Insperation

There are so many cute things that relate to Valentines Day that are so cute! I think that the act of love should be shown everyday, but I do think it is so cute to celebrate love on this day. There are so many DIY's that you can do, and I love any excuse to dress up in red or pink for the night.


This is one of my favorite Valentines Day Diy's it is so simple and you only need a few things to complete this project.

Things needed:
- red construction paper
- a doily
- Ribbon or string
- a mason jar
- a t-light



Last year I spent Valentines day in Canada which was amazing, this year I'm not so lucky, but Kyle and I will make the most of it with a nice dinner and maybe a movie. I love little date nights like that, those mean more to me than big extravagant dates.

Wooden Phone case (14.98$) // North Face gloves (32.99$) // S'Well bottle (25$) //
Tie clip (45$) // The Martian (22$) // Vineyard Vines bow tie (55$)

Hi guys! Valentines day is coming up so soon so I am back with another gift guide guy edition. You can check out my girl gift guide here! I kept most of the gifts in this guide to under 50$ because I don't like to spend that much on valentines day, but I think its so easy to be cute on a budget. I love the idea of getting some movies as a gift and planning a date night with some popcorn! 

The gloves and hat are a big much here in upstate new York. Kyle goes to school even further up north then where we are from and it is freezing up there so he would really appreciate gloves, a warm hat, and a travel mug for hot coffee. I'm such a big fan of themed gifts, keeping his heart warm while he is away!

How I Style My Hair


Recently I cut my hair short and I love it, but that means that I have had to change how I style my hair in the morning. When I had the longer hair I didn't do much to it, but my short hair looks so much better when you style it.

TRESemme and bumble and bumble are my two favorite brands for hair care. I don't really use
anything else besides these two brands because they work so well with my hair.


TRESemme Volumizing Mousse: This I use when my hair is damp or wet and apply it to my roots, this way I get more body when I blow dry my hair. 

Bb Thickening Hairspray: I love this spray, it makes the hold in my hair stay longer and to get it to curl under easier.

TRESemme Hairspray: I always just put a little hairspray in to make it stay all throughout the day.

How To Be A Morning Person


I have always wished I was a morning person and this semester I have a 7:30 class with a 20 minute commute, so I better learn quickly. I've been looking everywhere for tips on how to become a morning person to help myself have an easier morning. This is the list that I came up with, this may not be for everyone but its what helps me the best. 

1. Enjoy a cup of coffee throughout the morning.
This is one thing that I live for in the morning, the first thing I do in the morning is pour myself a cup of coffee. Right now I have been loving plain flavored coffee with banana syrup. Don't knock it till you try it, it is so good!

2. Do something you enjoy.
This for some could be watching part of their favorite netflix show or doing yoga. For me I love to watch YouTube videos white getting ready. Right now I'm obsessed with Alex and Michael's vlog channel and also Alexandrea Garza's beauty channel.


3. Organization is key
Having an outfit picked out with shoes and jewelry ready to go in the morning will relieve tons of stress in the morning and make your morning go smoother. I hate standing in front of my closet with a blank mind wasting time in the morning about what I'm going to wear, all that stress goes away when you pick it out the night before.

4. Have a breakfast already ready to go or something that is quick to make. My favorites for breakfast are fruit bowls or a chewy bar. Sometimes if I have more time in the morning I'll eat a bowl of honey nut cereal, but most days I'll just grab something and go.

5. Have a positive attitude.
This one is important and also the hardest. If you start the day with a positive attitude then your day will be more positive.

Flannel Outfit









Hollister:Flannel / Hollister: Jeans / Old Navy:Tank / Kate Spade: Cedar street slim bee
Forever 21: Booties Kendra Scott: Necklace

This flannel is one of those shirts that you will live in. This week has been crazy trying to get ready for the spring semester and all the tasks that come with transferring schools. When I'm busy and running around with a million errands, it makes things easier to have a comfortable outfit to do all the things in.

    Blanket scarfs are so in right now and I'm personally a big fan of them. I love how versatile they are in the sense that you can wear them with a dress or a more casual outfit such as jeans and a sweater. I love the colors of this scarf and how they really stand out against the black dress. I also               love how many ways that you can wear the blanket scarf in so many different ways.

My Pick From The Lilly Sale

As most of you know the Lily Pulitzer sale that only happens twice a year (once in august and once in January) happened this past Monday. I only picked one golden item this sale due to the fact that christmas made me bankrupt and also because very soon I will need to buy books for the semester. 

This sale I bought these cropped pants i've wanted these for awhile and I was so excited to see them on sale. I was literally freaking out the night before hoping that they would be included in the sale.



I put together how I plan to style these pants. I'll probably do an outfit post once they get in because i'm so excited, but here is the outfit set up for now:

Nordstrom: Shirt / Lilly Pulitzer: Weekender cropped pants / Nike: Sneakers
S'well: Water Bottle / Fitbit: Wristband / Amazon: Earbuds / Ray Bans: Sunglasses

I'm in love with this look and can't wait to fulfill my new years resolution of taking care of myself and working out, by putting these pants to use!

Business Casual Outfit








Target:Blazer / Old Navy:Tank  / Hollister:Jeans / Target:Nude heels / 
Kate Spade:Cedar street maise / Kendra Scott:Bracelet / Premier designs:Necklace

Happy New year! I am so excited to see what 2016 brings, so I decided to start off the year in a more professional way with this business casual outfit. I'm loving this blazer from target which is only 29.99! To make the look more casual I rolled up the sleeves to show the stripped lining. 

With starting a new school this year this outfit will be perfect for job interviews and internships, or any meetings I may need to attend. This blazer is such a good statement piece and defiantly a must in your closet.
