A Taste of Spring

Okay, so it's only the middle of February and we've got a few weeks to go, but I'm really looking forward to the arrival of Spring (minus the pollen). Here's a small taste of spring pastels.

Mad for Plaid

I've been really into plaids lately, and I'm not quite sure why. It might be that I grew up in the age of Clueless and it really had an effect on me. Or it might be inner prep school girl rearing her head. I got this blazer a week ago at Goodwill and for obvious reasons, I just had to take it home with me.

It's Vintage, Dahling!

I must confess to you guys that I have an obsession with all things vintage. Hair, beauty, clothes. You name it, I want it! I frequently find myself trolling ebay or a thrift store for a nice vintage find (despite the fact that I have more than enough clothes). I'm currently on the hunt for a 60's mod dress. Wish me luck!

P.S. Makeup is inspired by Marilyn Monroe ;)

Long Time, No See!

Okay friends, it's been a while since I've posted BUT I'm coming back! (yayyyyyy!!!!!)

Sorry for the picture quality :( I was going to go outside and take pictures like I used to, but it's snowing here! I also tried some contouring with makeup and I really love the results. Ta-ta for now people, see you soon! <3

Polka dots

My torrid love affair with polka dots is still going strong. It's a little "kiddish" sometimes, so I'd like to think that a pair of neon pumps make this outfit a little more mature. 

This picture was taken on a cruise to Bermuda on my way to a fancy-smancy restaurant. Tons of fun and the food was delicious! 

Peach Chambray

So I thought that I'd give the whole "chambray shirt" trend a try. Yes, I'm a little late on this bandwagon. Don't mind me :)

Plaid

Okay, so it's been a while since I posted. And yeah, this is just a mirror pic, but I do love this suit. And my hair too :)

Black and Gold

I confess: out of the 40+ heels that I have and wear frequently (yes, I am attending Shoe Hoarders Anonymous) these are the single. most. painful. pair. I. own. I wanted to amputate my feet with a butter knife the first day I wore them. I'm getting a charlie horse just looking at these pictures. But they're so gorgeous, I can't give them up.

The things we do for beauty, right?

These colors take me back to the many nights I spent in a black and gold marching band uniform on a football field. I think high school brainwashed me.

Peplum and Neon

As you can see, my hair was a big mess of curls today. I embraced the hugeness though. It's a welcome change after more than a month of rocking waist-length braids.  Anddd a big shout-out to my little bro-ski for taking my pictures today! He was a trooper, even when I called him back outside to take a picture of my shoes for the eighth time :)

Audrey

 

I love my oxford heels, especially combined with a mint button-up and a pleated skirt. I feel like this outfit would be worn by a North-Eastern prep-school girl. 

In other news, after weeks of studying and practice tests, I took my NCLEX exam and passed! I'm now a registered nurse! Yay me!
