Summer Break
With everyone under the age of 22 finishing finals and starting Summer break, I can’t help but long for the days when Summer meant three months off. To help ease the pain, three of my girlfriends and I are off to Florida today for a long weekend! I am BEYOND excited! I will be tweeting and instagram-ing pics so stay tuned! 
The Summer months put me in vacay mode and I crave easy, relaxed clothing. I love light-weight button-front shirts (esp. in a crisp Summer white) in the warm months. They look polished, but are still loose and un-restricting. Boyfriend jeans and flowy dresses are also summer staples for me. Comfort is key!

On The Edge
I’m not sure what came over me as I was getting dressed on Saturday, but my outfit ended up a little more edgy than usual. Leopard, studs, lots of black, and a graphic tee reading “Off The Deep End” … I got a few questioning looks, especially at my cousin’s softball game. Oh well, I loved this outfit.
I recently found these shoes at Aldo and I could not be more obsessed! They reminded me so much of the Valentino studded shoes that I love. (Some of my favorites here, here and here.)
Off The Deep End Tee: Marc By Marc Jacobs (last seen here) // Knit Blazer: Gibson // Leopard Denim: Current/Elliott (40% off here) (lusting over the shorts here) // Studded Sandals: Aldo (Valentino wanna-be’s) // Sunglasses: Prada // Watch: Michael Kors (similar) // Bracelets: Spike the Punch, Forever 21, H&M (similar), Bauble Bar // Nails: Essie ‘Haute as Hello’
Some days I look like the preppiest girl in the world and other days I’m in black and studs. Do you also have style psychosis? Please tell me I’m not the only one.
Muted Mint
I can’t believe this was only the second time I’ve worn these mint jeans! (First outfit here.) There are so many different mint combinations that I am wanting to try with these jeans (magenta, navy, chambray, blue/white stripes, polka dots, leopard, pink, etc.), but I gravitated towards a blush-y/peach-y top… again.
Cardigan: Calvin Klein (very similar) // Sequin Stripe Tank: J.Crew // Mint Denim: Paige // Sandals: Seychelles (old, but here’s a current style) // Bangle: Sequin (very similar) // Bag: J.Crew (similar style for $40) // Nails: Essie ‘Haute as Hello’
Have you been embracing the mint phenomenon this season? If so, tell me how!

Black & White & Pink All Over
This is the third outfit from my Sam Edelman guest post! Today’s look is an outfit styled around the Sam Edelman Odetta. This shoe is a statement maker! Black and white stripes, a hot pink ankle strap, a glossy black heel, and gold accents… does it get much more fab than that?! CLICK HERE TO KEEP READING!
Pink & Purple
I hope you liked my outfit yesterday … It was the first of four outfits featured in my Sam Edelman guest post! Next up, an outfit based around the Sam Edelman Gigi.
This sandal is so versatile! I may or may not own a few colors (multi-colored & leopard) because you can wear this sandal with EVERYTHING. My mom also had this pair and I am beyond sad that hers are just a tad bit too small for me. CLICK HERE TO KEEP READING!
Cork & Camel
Hi friends! This week I’ll be posting the full outfits from my Sam Edelman guest post. First up, my outfit based around the Sam Edelman ‘Rella.’
This shoe could be easily dressed up with a fun summer dress, but the weather in Chicago didn’t call for that. I chose boyfriend jeans, a button-front shirt, and a short-sleeved sweater instead. CLICK HERE TO KEEP READING!
Skirt & Sequins
I’ve been obsessing over high-low skirts for weeks, but I’ve only let myself purchase one (so far!). I picked mine up at Forever 21 for $15… you can’t beat that!!
I styled my skirt with a killer pair of heels (OBSESSED with these Sam Edelman kicks!) because the cut shows off the shoe region quite nicely. I paired it with a slouchy, bedazzled sweatshirt. Yes, a sweatshirt. Cute and comfy?? I’m in. CLICK HERE TO KEEP READING!
