Favorite Music of 2015

Monday, December 28, 2015

Hello everybody! This past year was filled with so much wonderful music. Some of my favorite artists released new albums, music videos and I attended two of my favorite concerts! As 2015 wraps up, I thought I would share what I was listening to for the past 12 months.

Albums:

1. 1989- Taylor Swift

This album is AMAZING. Even though it technically came out in 2014, I listened to it almost everyday throughout this past year. I also went to the 1989 tour over the summer, and it was the best concert I've ever been to. There are just so many fantastic songs on this album.

























2. X- Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran has to be one of the most talented artists around. I know this album also came out in 2014, but I listened to it a lot this year, and went to his multiply tour this pat summer too! I find it SO amazing that he performs every single one of his concerts solo. He creates the background music with his loop pedal, plays guitar extremely well and has an amazing voice. I love this album so much, and I'd have to say I like it more than his first one. Plus, Tenerife Sea is on this album, which is my all time favorite song!

























3. Revival- Selena Gomez

I was really excited for this album to come out! It just came out this past October, and I was definitely not disappointed! I think this is Selena's best album to date. Revival is full of inspiring, empowering and uplifting lyrics. I really like how she told her store throughout this album, which is something I feel like she hasn't done before.

























4. Storyteller- Carrie Underwood

I started listening to Carrie Underwood's music when her Blown Away album came out. I like her Storyteller album a lot better! Carrie has such a powerful voice.  When you listen to the lyrics carefully, each song feels like it is its own story, I love that! Between the songs like What I Never Knew I Always Wanted and Renegade Runaway, this album has the perfect mix of ballads and upbeat songs!

























5. Kill The Lights- Luke Bryan

Luke Bryan's music always puts me in a good mood! This album has a really good variety of ballad and upbeat songs! My favorites on the album are Home Alone Tonight, Move and Way Way Back!

























Songs (in no particular order):

1. Confident- Demi Lovato
2. Stone Cold- Demi Lovato
3. Stitches- Shawn Mendes
4. I Know What You Did Last Summer- Shawn Mendes and Camilla Cabello
5. Bright- Ecosmith
6. I Was Made For Loving You- Tori Kelly and Ed Sheeran
7. Hello- Adele
8. Revival- Selena Gomez
9. Kill Em With Kindness- Selena Gomez
10. Sober- Selena Gomez
11. Camouflage- Selena Gomez
12. Nobody- Selena Gomez
13. Rise- Selena Gomez
14. Levels- Nick Jonas
15. Church Bells- Carrie Underwood
16. Heartbeat- Carrie Underwood
17. What I Never Knew I Always Wanted- Carrie Underwood
18. Tenerife Sea- Ed Sheeran
19. Thinking Out Loud- Ed Sheeran
20. Take Your Time- Sam Hunt
21. Blank Space- Taylor Swift
22. I Know Places- Taylor Swift
23. Wonderland- Taylor Swift
24. You Are In Love- Taylor Swift

27. I'm A Mess- Ed Sheeran
28. John Cougar, John Deere, John 316- Keith Urban
29. Home Alone Tonight- Luke Bryan
30. Way Way Back- Luke Bryan

I know this is a pretty long list, but one of the hardest questions you could ask me would be: what is your favorite song? I figured giving a list like this would give you a good idea of what kind of music I've been listening to this past year. I can't wait to see what new music is in store for 2016!

Christmas Outfit of the Day

The title says it all, this is the outfit I wore on Christmas! 




I got my white shirt for Christmas. I love the sheer lace detailing on the chest and sleeves. This shirt is very versatile because I can wear it with jeans for a more casual look, or with a skirt to dress it up. I paired this shirt with black jeans. I feel like the black jeans made the outfit a little more dressier than just wearing it with regular jeans. 
To accessorize, I wore a pink and blue headband I also got for Christmas. I love the pearl and rhinestone detailing in it! 

Shirt- Express
Pants- Charlotte Russe
Headband- The Stone Flower 

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving Outfit of the Day

Sunday, December 20, 2015

I'm sorry this post is so late! I published it on Thanksgiving, but it never loaded right and didn't actually upload. The worst thing is that I just noticed it now, yikes!

Thanksgiving marks the official kick off for the holiday season. What better way to start the holidays than a day full of family and REALLY good food? Every year I start the day off watching the Macy's parade, which is followed by a day at home spent cooking and hanging out with my family. Even though I have a low key day, I love dressing up for it!

I wore one of my favorite dresses that I actually got from Macy's a few years back. I love the lace on this dress! The lace makes it dressier than an everyday casual dress, but it's still very wearable. I paired it with a burgundy cropped blazer to add some fall color and black tights. 



My Favorite Fashion Pieces for Fall

Monday, November 9, 2015

When it comes to fashion, fall is by far my favorite season! I love wearing sweaters, boots and scarves. Layering my outfits is something I love to do, and fall weather is absolutely perfect for doing so. Below are five items I have absolutely been loving this season!



This is a sweater dress I bought from American Eagle a couple years ago. There is something about wearing burgundy during fall that makes me so happy. This dress is super comfortable! I love wearing it with black tights or my gray and black floral print leggings. I usually pair it with black riding boots or by brown combat boots! 


I got this scarf for only $6.00 at Forever 21 last month, it's definitely a style steal! I wear more red and black once the weather starts turning colder, so this scarf has been great! My favorite outfit I wore it with would be my black skater dress, which I paired with a black cropped sweater, red tights and ballet flats. Plus the plaid makes this scarf even better! This item is still available, click here to purchase it! 
I purchased these booties from Macy's last month on clearance. You can never underestimate the clearance section, sometimes you can find REALLY great things! I've love pairing these with tights, leggings or just regular pants obviously. My favorite outfit I wore with them would be black leggings, with a long floral print sweater I have. 





If you couldn't already tell, wearing plaid is one of my favorite things about fall. This isn't the exact shirt I have, but it's similar. I have a red, navy and while plaid shirt that I wear a lot this time of year. It's from Forever 21 and it is SO comfortable. I love wearing it with leggings around my apartment or jeans and my riding boots or booties for a more put together look. 





Since I got my plaid poncho last year I couldn't find it online, but this one is similar! It is from Forever 21 like mine is, except mine is black, white and red. This is great to wear on those extra cool fall days. Wearing a poncho can instantly upgrade a plain outfit, making you look like an instant fashionista! I love wearing my poncho with black leggings, a black or white long sleeve shirt and either riding boots or booties. This also looks really cute if you wear a turtleneck underneath it! 


I'd love to hear what some of your favorite clothing pieces are to wear in the fall. Let me know in the comments below! 

Fall Outfit of the Day

Wednesday, October 21, 2015

So, it's fall time, you bought a blanket scarf because they looked adorable on Pinterest and then you get it in the mail and its huge. And I mean HUGE! This is exactly what happened to me. I ordered my blanket scarf online last year from Aerie after seeing how great they looked on so many people. The only issue with it was the size. I didn't realize how big it actually would be. Since the scarf is so bulky, I have been having the hardest time trying to figure out how to wear it. After watching a few YouTube videos, I decided to try this way. I folded the scarf in half to make a triangle. Then, I wrapped the scarf around my shoulders like a shawl, with the point going over my back. Lastly, I used a simple black belt to emphasize my waist.




I'm still looking for a way to make this work as an actual scarf! If you have any ideas, let me know! 

Steal Her Style: Selena Gomez

When it comes to celebrity style, Selena Gomez has been one of my favorites for a while. She has transformed her style from an innocent tween on Disney Channel to a grown women dominating the world of fashion. One of the things I admire most about Selena's style is the way she always has an element of class in her outfits.

New York Fashion Week

Tuesday, September 22, 2015

NYFW for Spring 2016 wrapped up last week and it's on to London Fashion Week! I was really hoping to blog throughout the week, unfortunately I had a lot of school work and wasn't able to. That's the one thing I don't like about school, the homework takes up ALL OF MY TIME.
There are so many things I want to mention in the post, so it's hard to narrow it down. I don't want to make this extremely long. I'll most likely have multiple posts about some of my favorite shows and trends throughout the week. Hey, it's better a week late then never, right?

The first thing I was really excited about was the debut of Lauren Conrad's LC line at NYFW. If you didn't already know, Lauren Conrad's LC line is a clothing line carried at Kohl's. I've always liked her line and I love Lauren Conrad's style! Her line debuted on the first day of fashion week and it was everything I hoped for!

The line was a romantic dream. I love the femininity of her line. It included a lot of white, pastel colors, light weight fabrics and floral prints. The pieces by themselves were simple, but when styled they were beautiful and complimented each other extremely well. The main word I would use to describe Conrad's line is elegant. The delicate fabrics and lace were very fairytale-esque.  I love how Conrad incorporated a sense of modesty in her line, yet it is still very stylish!
Now, I couldn't talk about how much I love Lauren Conrad's line without showing you some of my favorite looks. Below are a few of my favorite looks from the collection!
