My Style: Lazy Saturdays

So yesterday I decided to spend the whole day with my boyfriend since today is actually our five month anniversary but I knew it would be impossible to tear him away from his beloved football especially anything that has to do with the Steelers because his cousin plays for them (personally I don't get it and I will admit that I fell asleep in the Steelers game much to his dismay). But anyway here is what I wore for our lazy Saturday.


 We started the day by lounging around for far too long and then he surprised me by taking my car to get washed (it really needed it) and then we went to an early lunch at Chipotle which is amazing and if you haven't gone there you need to go as soon as possible. Then we went shopping at the mall, I surprisingly did not buy one thing however he left with a pair of Nikes. We came back to his place and watched one of my all-time favorite shows...

I got seasons 1-3 of Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica on Ebay for only 10 dollars and I was so excited! So he begrudgingly let me watch some of season 1 with him (I think he secretly enjoyed it lol). We then capped off the night by ordering a pizza and watching a movie. All in all a great night!
Also at work I recently had a phone interview for the General Merchandise Manager position and while I know they can't see what your wearing I still wanted to dress up because I feel that it makes you more confident if you know that you look good and ready for the position. Here is what I wore


I was on the phone with the boyfriend when I was taking these shots so thats why I'm smiling like an idiot :)
I have another interview tomorrow so wish me luck and I'll let you know how it goes!

Lots of love,

She's got the Write Style: Lauren Conrad

Hey!

So I'm back (this time within the year lol) and I want to talk about someone whose style has really been influencing me of late. And that person is Lauren Conrad. Coming from an avid Laguna Beach fan when I heard they were doing a spinoff I was excited but a little unsure. I mean I liked LC but did she have what it takes to make a show work completely centered around her? Well let's just say I was pleasantly surprised. I loved The Hills and it was while watching it that I noticed Lauren's style change from Cali girl with her tanks and jeans to a true style icon. And it has only been getting better since. I love the way her outfits are literally something I would take from her and throw on myself. So many celebs have great outfits but you know you could never pull it off, but with Lauren I fell like her style is exactly like mine. I broke her style down into three basics: tees, blazers, and leggings.

 So first I noticed that LC wears a lot of blazers. Mostly structured and black but she has been known to wear other kinds too. Second, she wears a lot of what she calls the all-american outfit and that is jeans and a t-shirt. She usually wears a somewhat baggy t-shirt and all kinds of jeans, skinnies, boyfriend, lightwash, darkwash, you name it she's more than likely worn it. And thirdly, she wears numerous pairs of leggings. Whether going to the gym or going out for an evening on the town Lauren can be found in a variety of legwear. Here are some examples of Lauren's style.

My Style: I'm a workin' girl now

Hi All!
I've missed blogging on here but I have been crazy busy since I've graduated. I've been looking for jobs EVERYWHERE!! But anyone looking for a job right now knows that it is so hard to find anything right now. Well, I've been working at my school's bookstore in the General Merchandise area (deals with clothing and gifts, etc.) since my senior year just for some extra cash to have and recently we had our GM manager leave so now I'm thinking of applying for the position because if I can't find anything else why not take what's right in front of me? So I've been considering that and it's just been really hectic. But I made the decision last night that I want to still continue doing what I love (writing) so I decided to take up blogging again (we'll see how long it lasts). I did take the time to take some pictures of my latest outfit. Since my manager has left I've had to step in and pretty much take over the position so I've been dressing more business casual lately (although I really do miss my jeans). Here is my outfit for yesterday. Note: It has been crazy cold here in Florida so I've been layering alot lately (and by crazy cold I mean like 30 to 50 which I know isn't that cold to alot of people but when you've lived in Florida for almost 6 years you get used to warm weather.



I got this nail color for Christmas and I am obsessed with it! It goes on so smooth and it looks almost beige. I love it!! Sorry for the messy closet pics but it is so cold I don't even want to be outside.

In another note I started dating an amazing guy in August (almost right after I graduated) and he totally bought me flowers and when I read the card it said "Just because" Isn't that the sweetest thing!! I had to take pics and share it with you guys. Aren't they beautiful?!


So yeah that's my life so far. I'm going to try to post as often as possible but we'll see. Stay tuned!

Lots of love,
