White After Labor Day

(Grey Crop Top – Garage , Plaid Button Down – J.Crew , White Skort – H&M , Solid Gold Ring –Forever 21 , Black Heels – Aldo , Necklaces – Francesca’s)

Labor Day has just passed and that usually means no white… right!? Well, sorry society – I don’t quite follow that rule. I love this combination. It’s a good transition to fall outfit with the touch of plaid and grays. I don’t know about you, but here in VA it’s still 90°!! Yup, I'm back to taking my own pics :/ my lovely friend is moving to Florida. Will miss him much xo.

Enjoy what’s left of the sun :) :)

VMA Style You DON'T Want to Miss


The VMA's are always a night that tends to be filled with celebrity drama -- I mean, what award show doesn't have some drama? But these celebrity red carpet looks are the type you definitely don't want to miss; from the major NO-NO's to the ultra rad looks that will never be forgotten, and some sexy attire that has hit the trend meter, check them out here:

Lets start off with Riff Raff & Katy Perry. This is a look the pair will certainly be remembered for throughout style history, as was Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake's infamous look from the 2001 American Music Awards. They pulled off the look quite well, and even got Britney's approval.

This next look is one that I definitely feel could have been pulled off a bit better with someone who has a little more height. Kim Kardashian in this short, beaded dress looks too much like an oompah oomph (no offense Kim!). The dress itself is gorgeous, but she was showing too much cleavage and almost drowned in the largeness of the sleeves. She is already a very short, small woman as it is and this dress didn't help, especially paired with the high ankle heels, which resulted in her legs looking even shorter.

Jennifer Lopez looked absolutely stunning in her revealing Charbel Zoe gown. Looking younger than ever, she is in amazing shape and has no worry showing off a bit of skin!

Kendall Jenner looking amazing, as usual, in this Alon Livne mesh top and high waisted pant. Fabulous style is her second nature!

I was very impressed in Nick Jonas's unique suit, and of course had to add him into this post simply because of his fabulous Rhode Islander girlfriend, Olivia Culpo. Who couldn't love her!?

Ariana Grande channelled her inner sexy side in this tiny, leather Moschino dress (well, she is tiny) and her signature thigh high boots. She still looks adorable! (Don't forget to check out her new album My Everything, which just came out last night! Get it here --> http://smarturl.it/ArianaMyEvrythnDlxDA …   It's just as amazing as her xo)

Sarah Hyland looked unbelievably STUNNING in this Kaufmanfranco dress. This was absolutely my favorite look of the night.

To be honest, I didn't know Charli XCX was wearing a onesie or an outfit for a build-a-bear. Not impressed with this look at all, and don't expect many of you with fashion taste to love this look either.

Another look that had me gasping "No - no really, WHY" is Amber Rose. This is just way too revealing in the worst ways. She looks like a stripper, ready for the best performance of her life.

Solange Knowles looking gorgeous in H&M. From hair-to-toe, she rocks this look amazingly.

Both Jourdan Dunn and Victoria Justice (and the little bow ties on her heels- so cute!), wearing crop top pieces and long skirts, looked stunning in their ensembles. jourdan-dunn-mtv-vma-20141victoria-justice-amber-rose-mtv-vma-2014

Although the entire night did seem like the Beyonce Music Awards, I give the woman some credit on her Press gown. She looked amazing (as usual).

A few moments of the night that can't be forgotten:
Nicki Minaj humping the floor with dancers to her new song, "Anaconda." If you haven't seen it yet, youtube it. It won't be hard to find.

Another moment created by the infamous Nicki Minaj was during her performance with Usher, as he knelt down and bumped his head against her butt during their performance.

And lets not forget about her wardrobe malfunction during her performance with Ariana Grande and Jessie J, where the zipper to the front of her dress broke and she had to hold it together the entire time.
Another memorable moment was made by Miley Cyrus. The crazy artist had her award accepted by a homeless artists by the name of Jesse, who made a speech about the numerous homeless teens and young people in LA who are aspiring artists, and encourage viewers to donate to giving them better lives.

Hey lovelies,
I finally decided to do some exploring for my blog pics haha :) I got my friend Connor to come along and take pictures for me after I did some shopping this weekend. No matter where or what pieces they are, wearing all black together always creates a stylish outfit.


This adorable top I bought at Forever 21! I thought it was an awesome tee that could be dressed up or down and is very chic! It says “New York Paris London 1°N Los Angeles Label” . I tied it on a little side knot to fit nicely with the high-waisted skirt.
I had seen a skirt a few weeks back that was really similar to this one and fell in absolute LOVE with it! I couldn’t find it again so I got this one in exchange from Forever 21. The zipper goes all the way down the skirt and angles sideways a bit, and has a strip of leather next to it. It isn’t supposed to be a tight fit – it has a nice little flair to it that I thought was just lovely.
The shoes are from Aldo. I’m really into a pointed toe right now, as is the fashion world and just couldn’t resist these beauts!
The sunglasses were also from Forever 21 — a week or so back I left my RayBans as a friend’s house and was in quick need of a cheap pair and found these. They can dress up every outfit with a bit of sass.
You can’t see my jewelry much, but I am wearing two gold necklaces paired together, one’s shorter than the other and is a small circle and the other one, the longer one, is a little Scottie puppy. Both are from Francesca’s. I’m wearing two rings, one’s a plain, thick gold one and the other is an extremely thin, braided ring. I’m also wearing a black leather braided bracelet with thick gold squares looped around it from Forever 21.
Thanks for viewing :)

Romper Radiance

Hey guys!
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while :( I bought this romper a few weeks ago and have been dying to put up a post about it! I wear it often, and it always gets tons of compliments! I haven’t always been a big fan of the way rompers look on me, for I feel they make me look boxy, and a bit bigger than my actually figure, but I fell in love with this one as soon as I tried it on. I got it at Marshall’s for only $15.00! The brand on the tag is called “Love Tease”.

I decided to pair it with some cute, light leather wedges to give it a nice casual summer look. I’ve had these wedges for years but haven’t worn them much because I have trouble making them look right with a lot of outfits, but they look great with this romper. The rope that crosses throughout the wedge wraps and ties around the ankle. They’re so unique and I just had to buy them as soon as I saw them while I was on a trip to NYC. They’re Guess by Marciano.

The gold necklace is a real statement piece but isn’t too over dramatic. It’s nice and simple and has to be because the romper has so much going on with the pattern. I bought it at a small boutique in Bristol, RI called Jackie’s Loft, but have seen it in tons of other stores, like Francesca’s.


The sun hat is from Forever 21. It was a bit of a mess, because the dog got a hold of it and tried to chew it (and she chewed my favor pair of wedges last week :(   ), but I absolutely adore a cute hat!

Thanks for viewing and I hope you enjoyed!
