Back To School Cool

☆ Blue Top - Intermix ☆ White Jeans - Pinc ☆ Supergas - Nordstrom ☆ 

It's that time of the year again! Back to school. This outfit is a simple school outfit with a cute, fairly easy hair style! I put my hair in a side fishtail and I wore white jeans with a blue, distressed top. The holes in this shirt give it a punk look and the fishtail adds a girly aspect. These sneakers are really easy to wear and make for a classic look with the white jeans.

The Collared Dress

☆ Dress - Forever 21 ☆ Sweater - Zara ☆ Boots - Steve Madden ☆ Rings - Madewell ☆

This dress is a go-to for me because I know that wherever I wear it, I can make it appropriate for the ocassion. It's simple, comfortable, and stylish. It can easily be worn by itself or with a cropped sweater. If you don't have a collared dress, you can still rock the look with a collared shirt layered underneath a sweater! xx

Boyfriend Blues

☆ Boyfriend Jeans - Zara ☆ Crop Top - American Apparel ☆ Belt - Neiman Marcus ☆ Cardigan - Steven Alan ☆ Rings - Madewell ☆ Bracelet - Bloomingdale's ☆ Shoes - Minnie T's ☆

There is a type of pant that should be in every woman's closet around the world, and that is the boyfriend jean. Boyfriend jeans are baggy and have a messy, casual look which makes them comfortable and easy to wear out on a Sunday afternoon or to school, in my situation. Crop tops are also extremely hot right now! Patterned crop tops are a huge hit, but today I chose a simple, navy blue top and I completed the look with some dainty jewelry and an oversized cardigan! Below I've posted some links to my favorite boyfriend jeans! How do you style your boyfriend jeans? xx

Tomboy Trippin'

☆ T-Shirt - Sport Chalet ☆ Pants - Aritzia ☆ Sneakers - Supra ☆ Backpack - Gifted ☆

Sometimes in clothing stores, I don't have any luck in the girls department. So, instead of heading out of the store, I walk over to the boys department. I know I can always count on the boys section to have basic items and every once in a while a cool pair of sneakers or a hat. This shirt and my shoes are both from the guys department and I managed to make my outfit a bit girlier by adding my quilted backpack and grunge inspired pants. xx

Maroon in June

☆ Sweater - Brandy Melville ☆ Pants - The Runaway Outlet ☆ Shoes - Converse ☆ Bracelet - Bloomingdales ☆

Happy Monday to you all! It's hard to believe that it's summer, because the weather sure isn't proving it! It's been June gloom in L.A. and I am so ready for the sun to shine through! This outfit is designed for gloomy weather but if you throw a basic white tank under your sweater, it can be easily transformed into a hot weather outfit. My black on black converse might be the best purchase I have ever made. They can be worn with honestly anything and they have an edgy skater quality which makes me adore them even more! xx

Yipes Stripes x2

☆ Denim Jacket - Urban Outfitters ☆ Navy Top - American Apparel ☆ Striped Pants - Joe Fresh ☆ Wedges - KorkEase ☆

This summer, I simply cannot get enough of stripes! Stripes are the chic and simple pattern that can be easily transformed from an ice cream date with friends to a night on the town with your family. Either way, stripes are sophisticated yet have a playful vibe to them. My striped pants are the perfect item to wear to the beach with a bikini top or to a birthday bash with a navy crew neck! They are easily paired with a denim jacket or just a simple cream tee. xx stella
