stripes + ruffles

img_4846One of my most difficult decision while packing for Florida was what I was going to wear to Universal Theme Park. I have to point out that while I was packing for Florida, it was freezing in Jersey. As I was wearing comfy sweatpants and my warm sweatshirt packing shorts and little dresses I kind of forgot what warm weather was. I knew I wanted to be comfortable, but what if it was chilly like it was in Georgia? I wanted to look cute, but also be comfortable. While going through my closet I had an AHA moment and found the perfect outfit.

because it is still winter

I found myself looking at jobs below the Mason Dixon Line lately because my body is just over the cold weather. I ran out for a few errands a few weeks ago and it took a lot of effort not to throw on leggings, Uggs and a sweatshirt. To compromise, I threw on a sweater, leggings and boots (ha!). I had an early hair appointment and the only reason I get out of bed early on a Saturday morning is for someone else to wash my hair and the fact that there is a Starbucks next door!img_4194 Continue reading “because it is still winter”

Fun Flares

In college I played it safe and looked like everyone else. I dressed like everyone else, had long hair like all of the other girls and tried to blend in. I hated high school because of the feeling of never fitting in and in college I did everything to look like everyone else. Since graduating, I have found that my style has evolved and I like to take risks when it comes to fashion and style. In October 2015, I chopped off 13+ inches of hair to donate to Locks of Love. Then in November I went in for a trim and went for a shorter style. The last year I have been playing with a short stacked bob and now a lob. I feel the excitement of having short hair quickly fading. My hair is so long now compared to how it usually is. A coworker pointed out that my hair was not this long the previous week! It grows so fast, which is awesome when I want to play with it doing different lengths. Continue reading “Fun Flares”

pom poms for winter

There are things I want and things I need in life. One of the struggles of being an adult, is having to choose paying my car payment over something I want to add to my closet. This winter, pom pom hats were everywhere. Everyday at work I wanted to buy one, but I just could not justify spending money on a winter hat I would wear only a few times a year. However, after Christmas, we got a lot of returns and all of the winter collection was going to major clearance. While at work one night, I found the black pom pom hat I realllyyy wanted on sale for $9 in the clearance bin. Guys, I was really excited about this hat and the price was too good to be true!

J. Crew Factory has the pom pom hat in a variety of colors, but if you wear makeup daily or want a hat that goes with everything, I suggest getting the black one.

Right now the hats are on major clearance at J. Crew Factory. I cannot guarantee that they are still in stores, but I checked and they are still available online!
