Bright

Wearing:

Coat - Forever 21, Shirt - Forever 21, Jeans - BDG from Urban Outfitters, Sneakers - Adidas Superstars, Purse - Clark's

Okay, so I may have slightly over exposed these photos.  I've been experimenting with some of the features on my camera, and ultimately these are a bit bright.  I'm also noticing that I really need to iron my coat - I swear the crease wasn't this noticeable when I took the pictures!

Anyway, the snow has amazingly started to melt away, meaning that I can start breaking out some different shoes.  Lately I've just been dying to wear my Adidas again, so that's where I began this look.  It being a school day, I went relatively casual by just wearing my favorite black jeans and a grey button up.  I've recently acquired a number of new coats, but I love the color of this coat with the grey shirt.

Who else is excited for the Oscars this weekend?  I love the awards show itself, but the red carpet is my favorite part of the show.  I'm most excited to see what Alicia Vikander and Brie Larson will be wearing; they're newcomers this red carpet season, but so far they've been slaying the game!  Sometime between now and Sunday (the day of the awards), I'll be posting my Oscar dress predictions.  See you soon!

Back in Town

Coat - Forever 21, Shirt - Forever 21, Jeans - BDG from Urban Outfitters, Boots - Monki, Purse - Clarks

Lipstick - Bareminerals Marvelous Moxie in Make Your Move

While I was in London, I was on the search for two items: a nice grey coat and a long, camel coat.  I found a great grey coat at John Lewis, but I just couldn't find a camel coat that I really liked.  At one point, I found one at Whistles that I liked, but it was so expensive and not exactly what I wanted, so I just couldn't pull the trigger.  On the way home, my mom and I had a day and a half layover in Seattle.  While I was there, I just popped into Forever 21, and low and behold there it was: the camel coat.  The best part?  It was only $50, so much cheaper than the ones I found in London.  I guess this just goes to show, that you shouldn't exclude Forever 21 - I'm always able to find great pieces there!

Now that I'm back home, it's back to the daily grind.  There's about a foot of snow outside, and the temperature is often around 10 degrees (Fahrenheit), but oh well, it's not surprising for here.  Just one more semester here, and maybe I'll be lucky enough to be living in London this time next year.

Camel Coat

 Wearing:

Coat - Boohoo, Blouse - Forever 21, Jeans - Kohls, Shoes - Steve Madden, Socks - Primark

Lipstick - M.A.C. Red with Cherry Liner

I apologize for my absense; these past two weeks have consisted of early finals, essay deadlines, preparing for AP exams (which are this week and next week), and a very ill timed prom (I post about it soon!).  However, I have now taken two of my exams and turned everything in that I needed to.
Because of everything going on, I actually shot these photos weeks ago.  I ordered this camel coat from boohoo which I absolutely adore, unfortunately though that was one of the last days where it was actually cold enough for me to wear it.  Now it's actually been pretty warm around here, with the exception of a few rainy days.
Not to overshadow the coat, I decided to wear neutral tones: blacks and whites.  Skinny jeans and a tailored blouse are something that I wear all the time; the shoes, on the other hand, I recently picked up from a thrift store.  They are brand new Steve Maddens, and I picked them up for $6!  They're slightly too small, but for only $6 I don't mind that I can't wear them all of the time.  Finally I added my favorite red lip to pop against all of the neutrals.

(P.S.  As of recent my brand new laptop has stopped working, so it's in the shop.  This means that I will be posting even less than I would like because I'll be sharing my mother's computer.  Hopefully it's nothing major, and it will be back home soon.)
