Adventures in Target

Sunglasses Forever21, Scarf  (similar) Forever 21, Jacket TJ Maxx, Hat Target 
There's just something about this kooky floral hat. I found this lovely "treasure" at Target while I was on the hunt for a black and white Red Sox snapback. This one sort of reminds me of Hawaiian shirt. Anyways... still on a mission to find that Red Sox hat.

Gingham Style

Model on left is wearing a Button-Down Gingham-Print Top from Macy's Marilyn Monroe Collection. Model on right is wear an Essential Gingham Shirt from Forever21.
For Spring I've been noticing lot of gingham-prints especially in pastel colors. This classic print can be dressed up or dressed down and goes with almost anyone's style. Make it sassy by tying a knot and wearing it with white jeans and wedges or make it preppy with a blazer, tailored shorts, and ballet flats. The styling is all up to you. The classic gingham print shirt can be worn so many ways. It is definitely worth adding to your closet because it will never go out of fashion.

Legally Blonde Party

For my 15th birthday I decided to have a Legally Blonde themed party, mainly because I am obsessed with the movie (and have been for years) and partly because it gave me an excuse to dress like a Barbie for an entire day. 

Guests received a fabulous jeweled collar from H&M, pink Hersey kisses, Sally Hanson nail polish,  Rimmel lip gloss, elf liquid eyeliner, a nail file, a heart-shaped charm bracelet, a jeweled mirror, and of course a pair of hot pink bunny ears just like the ones Elle wears in the movie. Mine of coarse had a pink tiara glue-gunned to them. 

Decorations included pink feather boas, Harvard Law School posters, photos from the movie, a stuffed chihuahua, and a  pink Harvard t-shirt.


We played a game where we guessed how many diamonds were in this jar. The winner got a pink crystal jewelry set.










I loved these white paper decorations.


Guests munched on pizza and drank pink lemonade. For dessert there were marble cupcakes with hot pink frosting, pink cotton candy, cookies, and brownies. 




Of course there had to be a snap cup!


The girls used pink feathery pens to write their "warm-fuzzies" about other party-goers in the snap cup.

This was from earlier in the week.
Always be yourself, unless you can be Elle Woods. Then, always be Elle Woods.
Since about two weeks ago I've been watching Legally Blonde, both 1 & 2, nonstop. I can now confidently quote this movie just as well as I can quote Mean Girls. I remember when I was younger I decided that I wanted to be a lawyer and go to Harvard after watching this movie. A part of me still wants to be the real life Elle Woods but I think I have a better place in fashion. 

Happy Birthday to any of my fashionistas who celebrated in March. Best wishes.

Spirit Week

So... this is sort of a random post but I totally forgot to share some pictures from my school's last spirit week. Before a big game (or in this case because of a snow day, before February vacation) we have a pep rally. The week leading up to the pep rally in called "Spirit Week". There are a bunch of fun theme days and last spirit week was my favorite (so far)!

On Disney Day I rocked a pair of Minnie Mouse ears, a flowy red blouse with a big bow, a long pearl necklace, my favorite faux leather jacket, and glossy red lips.
On Time Warp Day I dressed in a 1950's theme. I tied my hair up with a bandanna and did Marilyn  Monroe inspired cat-eyes and red lips. As for my outfit I wore a white collared shirt tucked into a black pencil skirt and layered my denim jacket over that.

Fabulous (Leopard) Find of the Week

Vintage Leopard Strap Watch from Betsey Johnson
This week's Fabulous Find is by one of my all time favorite designers, the amazing, Betsey Johnson. I decided to feature this watch for many reasons. One of them being that I just love the look of a big 'ol watch on a girl. It's definitely one of favorite menswear turned women's wear trends that I love. Second, the classic Betsey Johnson leopard print totally makes the watch and adds a bit of spice and femininity  Finally, I love the face and roman numerals. Some might be a bit intimidated by wearing a watch with such a bold pattern, but for me, leopard's a neutral. This classy and sassy watch is $105 and you can buy one right here. Did I mention shipping is free when you spend $100? If that doesn't seal the deal then I don't know what will.
