happy holidays

I hope everyone had a happy holiday! :) This Christmas, my day consisted of watching the Disney holiday park parade on TV, spending time with my family, opening presents, and eating a turkey dinner!

I wore a chiffon top and oxblood leggins from Forever 21, brown leather riding boots from Target last winter season, and a rose gold Michael Kors oversized watch. For the first time I tried an Ulta brand nail polish. It is Ruby Slipper and has now become one of my favorite reds! It is not as pink as the picture shows, but it matched perfectly with my leggings. Definitely will be trying other Ulta colors in the future. What are some of your favorite colors?

My Christmas haul will be in my next post! :)

I do apologize for my hiatus! From moving apartments to starting my senior year in college! I have been frantically applying to graduate schools with my deadline being January 15th. I can't wait to have much more free time this semester to get back into the swing of things. I wish every one a happy holiday and fantastic new year if I don't speak to y'all before then! But I should :)

i'm gone as the day is fading on white houses

It's officially! I will be moving into my new apartment August 15th! I couldn't be more excited. As of now, I have to keep the shopping trips to HomeGoods at a minimum because I have to start packing up of my stuff soon. I did get this new wall piece last week that I'm absolutely in love with!

If you have been following me for awhile, you saw my vintage shutter door that is a gray distressed color and when I found this I couldn't believe it matched so perfectly! I've decided to store my nail polish in it, but I'm looking to install some small shelves inside so you can see them all! Of course it is from HomeGoods and was around $60.


I can also hang some necklaces from the bottom two hooks! The little perfume bottles at the top and Eiffel Tower and both from an antique store that has a vintage Shabby Chic vendor. They both together cost $15! I can't wait to move in and start decorating again! Once I get all settled in, I will definitely do an apartment blog post. My life has been so hectic lately with my internship, research position, and figuring out when I'm moving etc. I just want to thank you all for commenting on my blog posts and following me on this journey :)

My fourth of July nails were done in a hurry because I had one of the worst weeks I could ever imagine. Someone decided to steal my tires off of my car last Saturday. It's a shame to see how awful certain people can be in the world. I'm a strong believer in karma and know they'll get theirs. I finally got new tires on Friday and now I'm just paranoid it's going to happen again which I shouldn't be, I should feel safe where I live. I'm in the process of moving apartment complexes which I couldn't be more happy about! Enough about all that, on my nails is China Glaze's Mrs. Claus, China Glaze's Little Drummer Boy on my ring finger, and Essie's Set in Stones over it. The China Glaze nail polishes are from two winter's ago I believe. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and let me know what you had on your nails if you painted them!

got the red, white, and blue flyin' high

The 4th of July or Independence Day whichever you prefer, has always been one of my favorite holidays. It's full of meaning and marked by patriotic displays. Barbecues, fireworks, picnics, parades are just a few of the ways to celebrate this glorious day. As if my wardrobe doesn't already consist of red, white, and blue pieces, this day makes it very hard to figure out what to wear! Here are just a few of the items I have to maybe give you a little inspiration of you own! Of course I had to take pictures in front of my vintage wooden shutter American flag!

I also have picked out red glitter nail polish that I plan on painting my nails with this week and maybe will throw a blue or white nail somewhere in there! What are your plans for the 4th/what will you be wearing?! 

sweet summertime

My most recent shopping trip involved a lot of summery new pieces! I figured I'd let you all have a peek before I start doing outfit of the days and such! I absolutely love everything that I bought and can't wait to style some new outfits! Everything but the bleached chambray and navy/tan striped blouse were from Forever 21. The floral high waisted denim shorts might have to be my favorite!
