Spring Lookbook!

Spring is here! 
In h0nor of tomorrow being the first official day of Spring, here's a little lookbook I've put together to showcase a few different styles I'll be wearing this season. Hopefully this will help any of you who are looking for some inspiration on those days when you just can't figure out what to wear.

Florals are such a fitting print for Spring. I've chosen to give this look a little bit of a city feel by adding the cut out boots and the hat. 

Spring in Oregon can still be kind of chilly so I chose to layer a cardigan on top. This could easily be edged up even more by adding something like a leather jacket or a darker necklace.

Cardigan - H&M
Necklace - Shop Dixi
Boots - Target

Still such a fan of the lady button-up fad. I've chosen to make it a little more feminine and springlike by pairing it with this neon skater skirt. The pattern of the snakeskin flats just adds a little more texture into the outfit. 

Sunglasses - Urban Outfitters

Button Up & Snakeskin flats - Old Navy

Skirt - Nasty Gal

When in doubt, go with stripes, am I right? I chose to keep this look very simple. Although this outfit is black and white I kept the styling very modern and chic. A cropped top and high waisted pants or a skirt is something we'll be seeing a lot of in the upcoming seasons. I adore the cut out flats and thought that they worked perfectly for an outfit like this. A pop of color would be great for an outfit like this. A neon clutch, or brightly colored necklace would work great.

Top - American Apparel

Pants - H&M (Imitation of American Apparel's Disco Pants)

Shoes - Zara

This is just an example of how you can work colors into an outfit. I wanted to show the different ways that they can be presented, (in any color not just mint blue) Although boots are a good alternative to add to an outfit when it's slightly cooler out, a flat would also appropriate with an outfit like this.

Blazer - Nordstrom
Pants - Charlotte Russe
Boots - Target

Another floral print! But, what can I say, they're a staple print for spring. I absolutely adore this sweater because it's so comfortable and the floral tones are muted so this could go with any colored bottoms. I chose to keep this look simple and just pair the sweater with leggings, but that's what makes outfits like these so great, you can use your imagination and start building on it. Pairing this with a skater skirt on warmer days would be lovely. You could also add a brightly colored bag to this look, as well as edge it up with a leather jacket, or the boots from the first look

19th Birthday Celebration!

Well, it's officially my last year of being a teenager. I turned 19 yesterday and I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel even a little weird. I celebrated my birthday by going to a concert in the city with some of my best friends, and I really just wanted to take a second on here and thank everyone for the amazing birthday I had. Last night truly was cinematic and I don't think I could have asked for anything more. If, for some odd reason, you haven't heard of G-Eazy or Kyle, check them out ASAP because their performances last night were some of the best I've seen in a long time.

Late Winter Purchases

Although the first day of Spring is roughly around the corner, the sad truth is that we Oregonians know the weather won't be looking much warmer until about July. I'm a fan of cooler weather so I don't mind it, especially because it allows me to take advantage of the seasonal sales on Winter coats.

 Leather Sleeved Button Down - $30.00 at Forever 21

 Light Grey Fleece - $22.00 at Forever 21

I've never really owned any Winter coats so it was definitely time that I invest in a few. I'm really happy with the two that I've found. They're both neutral colored so it gives me a lot of freedom to style them with other pieces. Neither of these coats are too heavy, and the fur collar on the first coat is removable so I will definitely be wearing these on the cooler Spring days.
