Trends I'm Loving

    

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share the top three trends that I am absolutely in love with.

1. Suede Wedge Ankle Booties - I really love these boots! I feel like you can easily pair them with almost any outfit. Plus I like the fact that you can either dress them up or dress them down.  I also like the casual feel that the laces bring to these boots.

My favorite way to wear these is to pair them with leggings or jeggings with a loose fitting top. They can be dressed up with a skirt or you can wear these a cute pair of ankle denim and patterned socks

Outfit Idea

2. Chambray Shirt - I used to hate denim on denim outfits but as an influx of these denim on denim outfit pictures started coming up on my pinterest feed, I quickly feel in love with it.  I like these shirts because they are super comfy and casual while still giving off that polished look.

Tips: I would recommend pairing these with different color denim. i.e if you are wearing a dark pair of jeans wear a light chambray shirt. One solid denim color can make the outfit look extremely bland.

3. Statement Necklaces - These necklaces are very handy for me. I don't really accessorize that much so when I wear a statement necklace I don't have to add many accessories to the outfit because the necklace is the main accessory.

My favorite way to wear these is with a collared shirt because it shows off the necklace an hides the chain so all you see is the big part of the necklace. These necklaces can pretty much be worn with anything, just as long as you don't over-accessorize.

Pinterest Inspired Dollar Store DIY

I love doing crafts and Pinterest is the perfect place to get craft ideas! I was inspired to make this when I saw a picture on Pinterest of mason jars that were made into glittery candle holders. I live in an apartment that doesn't allow candles so I figured I can use this as a cute pencil holder. Of course living on a college budget I skipped the mason jars and decided to do an all dollar store DIY.

This is what inspired me

Supplies:
Glue
Glass Jar
Glitter
Paint Brushes
Tape (I didn't realize I was going to need these until after I started)

Also, when you go pick out your glass jar try and find some in fun shapes. I went for this rounded one because I thought it would make it look more interesting than just a regular cylinder shape.

The first thing your going to do is put a piece of tape around the glass jar to insure that you will get a strait line. You can also skip the tape step and try to create your own design

After start painting the glue on the glass jar. I decided to do both the inside and outside of the jar to get a better look.

Once you have some of it painted with glue, pour glitter on the spots before the glue dries. I would recommend doing this over an empty shoe box so you can keep all the glitter contained.

Keep repeating this process until you are satisfied with the outcome!

What it looked like before the tape came off

I hope you guys enjoyed this DIY!

OOTD: A Day in the City

So recently I have been SUPER obsessed with skater skirts. I absolutely love the way they feel and they make your waist seem slimmer. I also love wearing houndstooth print during the fall and winter. I tried mixing this outfit up but also wearing leopard patterned shoes. I don't normally mix patterns because I feel like I'm not very good at but I like the outcome of this outfit. My favorite thing about this outfit is the shirt. I love the high neckline and the peek-a-boo back paired with the short skirt.
What I'm wearing:
(Most of these items I'm wearing came from JC Penneys because I worked there over the summer and winter break)
Necklace: Betsey Johnson (Similar $58)
Shirt: JC Penneys A.N.A Tulip-Back Top (It's on sale right now for $7.99!)
Skirt: JC Penneys Decree Skater Skirt (Also on sale for $11.99)
Tights: JC Penney opaque tights
Shoes: JC Penneys Liz Claiborne Lila Smoking Slippers (on sale for $19.99)
Purse: Rosetti (Christmas present)
Outfit Total: $97.97+

Nice to Meet You

Hello! My name is Jessica and I am currently a college student. This is my first time ever having a blog so it'll probably take me a couple days to get the formatting finalized. What I plan on doing with this blog is sharing my everyday life with pictures, sharing my interests, and also just simply sharing the things that make me happy!
To start I'll give a you a brief background of my life.

In high school I was very passionate about band. In my four years of high school I managed to take seven band classes (and was still able to complete my other high school requirements). I played clarinet in wind ensemble and also played multiple instruments in percussion ensemble.

Sophomore year I took part in a school fundraiser and shaved my long locks off for cancer. A few other teachers and shaved our heads in front of the whole school and the news. Together we raised somewhere around $6,000 dollars. It feels great being able to help those who need it, even if it means getting rid of my hair. Because the great thing about hair is, it grows back!

Overall I'm a fun-loving, confident girl who is super obsessed with monograms, bright prints, and all things Italian!
