Floral Summer Playsuit

11 med

Charlotte Russe RomperSo who else is absolutely head-over-heels in love with this playsuit from Charlotte Russe? Not only are the colors and print stellar, but it fits like a glove. It’s made out of chiffon-like material, so it’s extremely light and can be dressed up or down. I can’t wait to pair it with a crisp, white blazer and some flats for my internship!

How cute would it look with some nude heels and a big sock bun? I also love the gold jewelry with it! There are just so many options with this one! I just can’t wait to wear it all the time this summer.

Definitely check out Charlotte Russe for some gorgeous rompers and playsuits for the summer – they have a great selection at extremely affordable prices.

Oh! Did you guys notice a change? I’m wearing my hair 100% natural for 30 days! It’s a personal challenge I’ve made for myself to become more comfortable in my own skin. I wrote a post all about it earlier, so check it out!

Today officially marks the 9th day of the challenge! It’s definitely been difficult to resist the urge to heat-style it, but surprisingly enough I’ve already noticed it growing more. I’ve also received so many compliments on my hair – my confidence has increased dramatically!

Outfit of the Day: June 1st

4.1

Happy June everybody!

Yesterday, I went to the Snohomish Wedding Show with my sister and her fiancé. It was so amazing to see the incredible venues just a 30 minute drive away from our home. I was beyond excited to see the venue they decided on called Jardin Del Sol. It’s phenomenal and suits them as a couple perfectly.

Tomorrow I’ll post some pictures I took at the venue but below is just my outfit for the day- I really loved the casual chic look created by mixing patterns and layering. I hope you enjoy!

Flashback Friday: A Look Back at April

Look back at April

April went by so fast! I cannot believe it is May and I have two weeks of school left…it doesn’t seem real. I wanted to take today to reflect on the past month.

Favorite Moments in April
  1. Meeting Erin Condren and having her actually comment on my blog post! See it all here.
  2. Receiving an amazing care package from Charlotte Russe. See posts featuring the items from the care package here and here.
  3. Being featured on Charlotte Russe’s Instagram here.
  4. Stepping up my sponsorship opportunities and filling all of my sponsor spots.
  5. Collaboration with Allyssa from Life with Lyss. See it here.
  6. Reaching 900 followers on Twitter.
  7. Being published on the TEDxChapmanU blog here.
  8. My little sister committed to attending the University of Puget Sound in the Fall!
  9. My older sister decided on a wedding venue and date

It’s been a great month! I have so much going on in May – moving from California back to Washington, final exams, saying goodbye to all of my Chapman friends, and formal. I am excited, nervous, sad, stressed, and so happy all at the same time. It’s going to be a roller coaster for sure.

What were your favorite moments in April?

Outfit of the Day: May 6th

Outfit of the day May 6th

Outfit of the day May 6th I have always been afraid of wearing a baggy shirt combined with a flowy skirt because I thought it would look boxy. However, I really love how this look came together. It is casual and comfy with a little bit of an edgy side. I am also wearing my brand new Luxy Hair extensions which I am IN LOVE with. I will be posting a review and video later in the week about them so stay tuned.

Outfit of the Day: Yesterday, May 1st

Outfit of the Day May 1

Yesterday was another day of 90+ degree heat and Santa Ana winds. Since skirts were out of the question and there was no way I could bring myself to wear pants, I threw on this adorable high-waisted skort from Forever 21. I paired it with a flowy crop top (also from Forever 21), and a crisp blazer from Target. A super chic business casual look, I did not overheat or have a Marilyn Monroe moment.

Outfit of the Day: Yesterday, April 23rd

Outfit of the Day April 23

Outfit of the Day April 23
Yesterday I had the incredible privilege of managing Chapman University’s Twitter and Instagram during the annual “Spring Sizzle.” It was a blast – I felt so energized after. Opportunities like this remind me of how much I love social media especially for live events. I just really enjoy myself and feel very confident when I do it.

The one thing I did not feel confident about was my body. I really do not know what triggered this inside of me as I am usually very content with my body, but I guess I just had an off day. As I was settling in for the night to write this post and head to bed, a woman in my sorority shared this video on Facebook. I watched in awe as I was incredibly uplifted and inspired. I have included it at the bottom of this post for you to watch – I really hope you do! It is only about eight minutes long and will seriously make you feel beautiful and valued.

I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day!

Romping in Hot Pink

Charlotte Russe

Charlotte RusseCharlotte Russe has some incredible new spring arrivals and this romper is no exception. I’m completely in love with everything about it from the hot pink color to the flattering shape to the lace accents. This is the first romper I’ve ever owned because I was convinced they were the least flattering thing for any woman with hips or thighs. However, I was pleasantly surprised when this fit me like  a glove and accentuated my small waist. It highlights my curves in all the right ways! The chunky chain bracelet I’m wearing is too cute and guess what? It is also from Charlotte Russe!

Outfit of the Day: April 3rd (part two)

So I completely forgot to include the pictures of my bag in today’s outfit of the day post! I don’t know what’s wrong with me today.

Anyways, I received this GORGEOUS bag from I Flew The Next – a monogram Etsy shop. It’s an incredibly high-quality bag and the color is just divine. I carried my laptop, planner, lunch, and a water bottle in it all day and it held up. It never hurt my shoulder or anything. Definitely check out this shop!

Outfit of the Day April 3rdThis incredible kimono from Jane is the perfect spring addition to my wardrobe. The bright colors and floral print brighten up any outfit. The beautiful chiffon fabric feels light and fun. I also adore this Kappa Alpha Theta necklace from Tomi’s Treasures – an Etsy shop that I found. It’s so dainty and stunning – I love it!

Outfit of the Day April 3rd

Outfit of the Day April 3rdI want to talk briefly about Tomi’s Treasures. Tomi was incredible to work with. She was so interested in hearing about my life as a college woman. She worked so hard to provide me with jewelry that I wanted. I will post later about another amazing necklace she sent me (it’s in the shape of Washington state!). She went above and beyond to make it for me. I would highly recommend checking out her Etsy shop full of beautiful Greek jewelry. She even has hand-stamped bottle openers with fraternity letters on them! Anyways, I would just recommend you check her shop out for big/little gifts or a something special for a friend.
