What's In My Bag...

I love when girls share what they carry in their bags. Personally, my purse is usually a mess and filled with little odds and ends that I don't need but since I'm out of school I decided to clean out my bag leave only the necessities. I thought that I would share a few things that I always keep in my bag: 

First, I have the usual car keys, phone, and hand sanitizer (I won't go anywhere without my hand sanitizer these days. I always make sure that I have one in my bag lol). I also always try to bring a book with me whenever I go out. You never know when you're going to have time to kill and it's nice to have one tucked in your bag. Then I have my chapstick and whatever lip product I'm wearing that day (these days it's the NYX lip butters. Have you tried these? They are awesome!!). I also have a pack of my favorite gum and my lavender wallet that I am just in love with. Some other little things that I like to throw in my bag include a notebook or journal to write down ideas whenever creativity strikes, glasses/sunglasses, and a pair of headphones. 

What kinds of things do you like to keep in your bag?! 

Peace and Love,

Fall Essentials...

Zara jacket / Zara flat / Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago

Two trends that I am loving for this fall are leather and leopard. I recently bought a leather jacket from Zara and I couldn't be happier with it. The next thing on my list is a cute pair of leopard flats. I can't decide if I want ballet flats or loafers. Hmm, decisions, decisions... And I also thought that I would just share one of my favorite albums to listen to during fall: "For Emma, Forever Ago" by Bon Iver. This record really gets me into the Autumnal mood; I've been listening to it while I do my homework at night. 

Have you bought anything fun for Fall?! I would love to hear! 

Peace and Love,

What I Wore...

Sandals- Forever 21, Sunglasses- Forever 21, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tee- NBC store, 

Necklace- Isn't That Sew, Leggings- Forever 21. 

The whole idea of dressing up for college went out the window during my very first semester. It just seemed impossible to look "cute" everyday and frankly, I just wasn't motivated to put in that much effort all the time. However, I still think that you can put together cute and comfortable outfits that aren't a hassle. For my very first day of school I wore my favorite sandals and leggings and paired them with a comfortable tee and some sunglasses. I finished it off with one of my favorite necklaces just to dress it up a little. I plan on putting together more outfits like this during the school year and sharing them on the blog. Let me know that you think! 

Peace and Love,

Fall Fashion 2012...

The Necessities: 

1. Felt floppy hats or fedoras. This one is from Topshop. 

2. Aztec cardigans. You can find so many with different patterns and colors. I love the real chunky and oversized ones. I found this one here. 

3. Combat boots. The more distressed they look the better. You can also find cool ones with studs like these.  

4. Leather shoulder bag. I love this one because of the color. Fall is all about accessorizing with deep jewel tones. Madewell has some beautiful bags.  

5. Floral leggings. They're fun and add color to any outfit. This pair was from Topshop. 

6. Nail polishes in deep purples and wines. I love "Wicked" by Essie. 

7. A double-breasted coat. You can't go wrong with this; it's a staple piece. Adore the length and style of the "Promenade" coat from Madewell.  

Peace and Love,

Lady of Style: Isabel Lucas...

 If there were only one thing that I admired about Isabel Lucas' style it would be her hats. However, this is not they case because she has such great style and there is just so much to love. It took me a while to sort through pictures and choose which ones I liked the best but I got there...eventually. So here are 17 of my favorite looks of hers (mostly centered around hats). I hope you enjoy her style as much as I do and I can't wait to see the looks that she puts together in the future. Definitely keeping my eye on this one.  

Peace and Love,

Lady of Style: Mischa Barton...

Mischa Barton is definitely a style crush of mine. She knows how to put together the perfect bohemian look and pair it with a headband and a handful of rings. I love that she is really her own when it comes to what she wears and she is not afraid to stand out. Give me an outfit in any one of these pictures and I would be one happy girl.

Peace and Love,

Em
