Wrapper

My latest obsession stemming from my trip to cali is hair wraps. So I took it back to middle school and got one complete with tribal colors, wooden beads, and a peace sign charm at the end. Now I am sad to say that my hair wrap is no more, after 3 weeks it fell apart and I am desperately missing it. I'm not sure how to get my hands on another one (wasn't there a machine popular in the early 2000's that did it for you?) but I will make it happen. I'll keep you posted. xoxo

College Chic

A cocktail table is definitely going to be a staple in my living room. Because every college house should stay stocked 24/7 right?

I can't get enough of this living room, not only because its elements are completely obtainable for my budget but I love the bohemian/morracan/vintage american theme going on. If I take away one piece from this room it will be finding a vintage flag to hang up as a tapestry on one of the walls in the living room

Sticking with the bohemian theme, i love the contrast of the eclectic statement pieces with the white lucite inspired clean lines.

Dying over this idea, an old wooden ladder (oh right because that's so easy to find...not) draped with your best and most worn scarves. Its a great decoration and would definitely solve my problem with the wrinkles in my scarves from being shoved in my closet.

And finally, fresh flowers (hydragenias of course) and candles in varying candlestick holders. Again, I love the lucite organizer holding the flower and the varying colors on a neutral backdrop. I'm crossing my fingers that all of these ideas can come together for me in a way that doesn't look like a mishmosh of ideas.....here's hoping

Summer Nights

Summer is only a few more weeks long, so now is the time to take full advantage of those final days of late sunsets, road trips, sun and salt streaked hair, and carefree living before the stress of the school year starts up again. With a little inspriation from Daria Werbowy, make the upcoming weeks count before the countdown to next summer begins. So wear those cut offs into the ground and pick out your best cropped and flowy tops - and let's end this summer with a bang.

Making the Comeback

I'm back! After taking a 6 month reprieve i've decided to give this another go. The summer is almost on its way out and while I'm not excited to see it go, I am looking forward to this upcoming fall. However I have enjoyed some pretty great summer days thus far and I know there are still a few more awesome ones to come. Recently on a trip to visit my amazing friend in LA I became inspired. We spent most of our time in Venice Beach and I immediately fell in love with its laid back grungy skater chic hippie vibe. I can just imagine a life of beach days and nights learning to skateboard and surf, but a girls gotta work. So im translating my california dreaming into my wardrobe, mindset, and upcoming apartment decorating (pictures to come). Above is my inspiration I'm still trying to make work while working in an office 9 hours a day 5 days a week. I have a feeling my creativity is going to be sparked once I get back to charleston and out of my routine days in the 716. So I hope these pictures give you some inspiration too and just know there are only more good things to come. xox

Spring Break Must Haves

Spring break is a mere 8 days away so naturally i've turned to shopping to pass the time. Above are a few key pieces I've acquired into my wardrobe for the upcoming holiday of beach combing, cocktailing, and just being lazy. The first picture is of my new favorite thing, spring break ASOS tank of which i will be getting much use of. Second, the floppy hat, a must have for hot days at the beach fighting early signs of aging. Thirdly, the Leni Fawcett bikini in Army by Insight. and finally the classic denim short paired with a cropped top as worn with the fabulous Alessandra Ambrosio. Happy Spring!

Siwy Denim

 

The best jeans in the world. For those of us who don't necessarily have the biggest booties, they're perfect. I don't know what it is about this designer but everything from their jeans (my favorite is the hannah crop) to their denim shorts (camilla) is fabulous, you instantly feel sexier when you slip them on. Who doesn't love that? I wore my last pair into the ground, gaping holes and all. Celebs like Meghan Fox shown above, Rachel Bilson, Nichole Richie, Kate Moss, and Miley rock this label and their washes are only getting better.

Spring Cleaning

Spring is in the air, time to revamp my wardrobe. Spring for me means jean shorts, jeweled strappy sandals, and lots of flowy tops. This year I am aspiring for 70's coke whore chic... minus the cocaine of course. Following in the fashion footsteps of those such as Edie Sedgwick, Nicole Richie circa 2006, and my mother back in her hippie days. The Bohemian effortlessness is so ideal for those hot spring days in Chucktown biking to class or grabbing coffee with a friend. Winter Kate embodies all of what this style should be. I can't wait to place my order for this red flying fox jacket shown above. I'm also tempted to try the 70's flare jeans shown fabulously on January Jones, but being 5'2'' I think I should forego this trend... peace and love
