Stylish Sundays: Spring Denim

I mentioned in my Sperry Haul that I would show you how I planned on wearing my new Sperrys. I decided to go with one of my go to Spring outfits. It’s really casual and perfect for shopping or lunch with friends.

Chambray: Feed by TargetPink Tank:H&M
Jeggings: Gap
Shoes: Sperry

I don’t usually wear double denim, but when I do I always make sure they aren’t the same shade, and that the bottoms are darker.

On My Face: Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer, Hourglass Hidden Concealer, Makeup Forever HD Setting Powder, The Balm Hot Mama Blush, The Balm Mary Lou Manizer, Marc Jacobs The Lolita, YSL Shocking Mascara, Rimmel Scandaleyes nude and black eyeliner, Hourglass Truth Lipgloss

I am still completely in love with my new Sperrys. They’re so comfortable and the pink laces I added make them so much fun for spring and summer.

Festival Fashion or How To Survive The Heat

It’s festival season right now, and everything from Pride (this weekend in most large cities) to Music Festivals and Summer Fairs are happening. Personally I’m going to a Pride celebration this weekend, and this is pretty close to what I plan on wearing. There are obviously going to be a few changes but you’ll see those in the up coming pictures.

First I really recommend a light tank top, this one from Madewell would work perfectly, I have it in Navy and I adore it. Then I recommend some cutoffs, these from PacSun are pretty damn cute, plus bright colors are always a win. Then for shoes I recommend Converse, the more beat up the better so you don’t have to worry about them being ruined. Alternatively Hunter boots are also a really good choice, especially if you’ll be somewhere muddy. The Jewelry pictured is from H&M so no links there since you can’t online shop in the states, but I do recommend hitting up your local H&M or F21 for some cheap and cheerful jewelry. The Bag is from Olsenboye, and is actually the bag I’ll be carrying, but I bought it a few years ago. This one is very similar though.

Speaking of bags, I thought I’d show you really quick what will be in mine.

Smart Water, it’s stupidly expensive for water, but I am obsessed. I’ll be picking up some bottles the day of. Kate Somerville Protect SPF 55 Serum Sunscreen for my face, Alba Botanica Sunscreen for my body or I’ll be cooked, Smith’s Rosebud Salve Tube, it’s necessary trust me. Hand Sanitizer, because do I need to explain public bathrooms to you? Emi-Jay Hair Ties, I adore these and must always have an extra, and snacks.

Are you or Have you attended any Festivals or events this summer? I know my outfit is pretty tame, but it’s merely a base to build off of.

I’m a little obsessed with browsing their site right now. I’d compare Oasap to somewhere in between Romwe and H&M, with their pricing leaning more towards H&M. Which is amazing because you guys know how obsessed I am with H&M.

Easy Summer Outfit or Fall into the Gap

I mentioned in my Mother’s Day Gift Guide that if I could have whatever I wanted for Mother’s Day I’d like a Gift Card to the Gap. So for today’s post I wanted to show you what I’d buy with that card.

Below is my perfect outfit, it’s trendy, but still classy at the same time. The main part fits perfectly in to the black and white trend. I adore the way Gap Tees fit and this black Market T has what I consider the absolute perfect fit. I also love the Skimmer Jeans and I love these in White. I’ve kinda been in love with ankle skimming jeans and have been cuffing mine since I saw Audrey Hepburn wear them in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Then I added this Neon Striped Scarf and this Striped Canvas Tote because I’m obsessed with Stripes. Then because it’s spring time and I love ballet flats I added in this floral pair in pink. I thought it tied it all together perfectly.

Fashion and Happy Things! Easy Summer Outfit or Fall into the Gap

This outfit has the floral trend for spring, the black and white trend, Neon, and Stripes, and still works perfectly. Even though it has all those trends in it, it’s still really grown up, and absolutely perfect for my everyday life. Honestly if I could dress like this everyday I would.

While I love fashion, and sometimes you have to take a risk, simple basics like this can make a great outfit for everyday errands and easy lazy days. And you know I’m all about lazy days.

Stylish Sundays or Trendy Old Lady Pants

Happy Easter! This post is going up late because I had a family day yesterday.

As you saw in my haul on Friday I picked up some Floral pants and an Oatmeal colored Tee. Since I’m clearly 6 years old I couldn’t wait to wear them, and decided that even though I wasn’t going anywhere with nothing special planned, there was no reason I couldn’t get a bit dolled up. So I did…

Fashion and Happy Things! Stylish Sundays or Trendy Old Lady Pants

and then proceeded to take way too many pictures.

I’m wearing an Oatmeal colored Tee, Floral Pants and a Rose Gold Hair Barrette you can’t see from H&M, Studded Loafers by Wanted that I got I DSW, and a Pen Necklace that my good friend Mrs. Cannady got me for my Birthday, which was inspired by my obsession with Joan from Mad Men’s Necklace that I was obsessed with.

Sometimes I forget what an amazing Photographer my husband is. It’s easy to overlook that when he’s always taking outfit photos for me and we’re in a rush to get going somewhere else. However this time we didn’t have anywhere else to be, and were just taking photos for the sake of taking photos.

I adore they way the photos turned out, they ended up being less posed for outfit photos and more like an actual photo shoot.

So lets focus on the details. I adore the pen necklace and even more so that it actually works. I feel like it made this outfit less trendy and a bit more professional. Like I could easily be someones assistant somewhere. It’s probably one of my favorite gifts I’ve ever received from a friend, next to a tote bag that T randomly snuck into my house one day to surprise me with.

And the colors in these pants are amazing. They’re bright and springy, but I feel like the black background and the silhouette of them tones it down a bit. The fabric is really nice, and they fit amazing.

The Oatmeal tee is super comfortable and was really easy to wear. I definitely want this top in every possible color it’s made in. I can think of a thousand different ways to wear it.

My makeup was really simple just Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation in B10, Lancôme Eyeshadows that the names have rubbed off the bottom, but they are neutrals, YSL Shocking Mascara, Nars Deep Throat Blush and you’ll find out what’s on my lips on Monday.

Clearly I need my bangs trimmed, but I’m liking the messy look for now. On my nails, which you can catch a glimpse of in this picture is another sneak peek at an upcoming blog post.

And finally the arty black and white shot. I actually adore this picture, and am vain enough to want a print of it to hang in my house. My husband actually has some amazing black and whites he’s taken around our town and the next town over. I’m crazy in love with some of them. I’ll do a picture post of my favorites sometime this summer if he’ll let me.
