shirt (Gamma exclusive, sorry bbs!). vest (from Marshall’s, by Michael Kors). leggings. sneakers. perfume.

Hey cutie pies, is anyone else’s weather doing all types of things lately? As I always say, I don’t care which season Mother Nature picks, as long as she picks one. We’ve been flying back and forth between sunshine and heat and rain and humidity. I’m not a fan.

What do I always break out during transitionary weather patterns? My puffer vest! Well, this look is actually super old, but I figured it was relevant. Sometimes it can be so hard to dress for weather that can’t make up its mind. I usually stick to layering and dressing comfortably. There’s nothing worse than being soaking wet and wearing those pants that are too tight but make your ass look bangin’ (seriously just donate them already there are so many fish in the sea bb).

Anyway, this look also features one of my favorite sorority shirts. The Alpha class got these when we first colonized, and to make things even more ~vintage~, only a couple girls got them. It makes me feel really special :’) I wore my fuzzy leggings and black Converse (white Converse usually look cute with this top but these look better with the black vest), and put my hair in a half-up-half-down style.

We can get through this insane weather, loves! Only two months until summer! As they say, April showers bring May flowers, so I’m not giving up hope.

Hello, my loves! I’m so sorry I’ve been MIA lately. I got locked out of my website! But I’m back and it’s lit. I’m working on putting out an e-newsletter soon so I’ll actually be able to tell you things like that. Stay tuned! Also, please excuse that some of my photos recently have been crappy iPhone pictures, my camera has decided to betray me and I’m rather pissed. It’s going great over here guys.

Here’s one of my favorite looks of all time. You know how I always say when you look good you feel good? This is one of those outfits that makes me feel freakin’ awesome.

This is actually a shirt I got for my uncle a couple years ago, so I stole it back when he passed away and turned it into a dress! I think he’d be proud. It’s so comfortable and the perfect balance of glam and casual, especially when you style it the right way. I like to wear my black Timberlands, my thigh-high boots, or these heels with this dress.

Since I was going out when I wore this look, I wore some glam makeup with my favorite lipstick of all time (sidenote: I lost my lipstick at a different party and literally cried. I just got another one for my birthday and I feel complete again). I slicked my hair back into a high pony and was ready to take on whatever the night threw at me.

And it was actually a really fun night! My friend and I went to a party and didn’t know anyone, so we left and ran around our neighborhood for a little bit. I got Five Guys which makes me the happiest girl in the world.

What’s your favorite party look? Let me know in the comments!

shirt (i think it's armani?). shorts. sneakers. perfume

Happy Friday! Here’s to hoping that the sun will make an appearance soon. This look is another product of Boston’s weird weather! I never know how to dress since it’s not necessarily cold, but there’s a bit of a breeze and no sun. I’ve always loved the long-sleeves and shorts combo, even though some people aren’t a fan. I feel like it just makes sense in weather like this.

This is one of my favorite cozy shirts! I tucked it into my denim shorts and then pulled some out until I liked how slouchy it was. I either like big, slouchy shirts, or tight crop tops. No in-between. It’s kind of problematic.

I wore my dirty white Converse and INDI perfume, and left my hair wild because it’s summer :’) My whole outlook on life changes during the summertime. I’m so much more active and happy.

Have an amazing Pride weekend, my Boston friends! xoxo

top & skirt (no longer being sold by Mystique Boutique NYC). sandals (no longer being sold by Payless). perfume

Happy Monday! It’s finally summer for me, and I’m having a blast taking a breath before life starts to settle in again. For now, I’m enjoying sleeping in and not worrying about assignments I need to turn in.

A couple weeks ago, my roommates and I threw a Hogwarts Yule Ball themed party, so everyone dressed up! This is one of my favorite fancy outfits, and I wear is as often as I can. I bought it to wear to Celebrity Night my senior year of high school :’) The skirt is so flouncy and flirty, and it goes perfectly with this top. It’s super bright, but that’s what makes it so unique. I love the slit in the chest. I posted the gold version of these sandals a couple days ago! I love them because they’re fancy, but the heels aren’t too high, so my feet don’t hurt.

And now for my favorite part, my ponytail! I love working my hair into a high, tight, slicked-back ponytail. This outfit definitely calls for one. I don’t think I’ve ever worn this outfit with my hair not in a ponytail. Maybe I’ll make a blog post about how to make the perfect pony soon ;) I also had a lot of fun with my makeup! I contoured and highlighted more than usual and got fancy with lots of gold eyeshadow.

This is one of my all-time favorite outfits! It makes me feel great. The party was amazing, and I got tons of compliments on my outfit and the Hogwarts House-themed cupcakes i made. I’m a Hufflepuff! Let me know what house you are in the comments!

cozy badass

Outfit of the DayKristenComment

sweatshirt. leggings. boots. lipgloss (in sanctuary). 

I'm so excited to share this look with you guys! My parents have been making fun of me because I wear this outfit all the time. I got this Halsey sweatshirt for Christmas, and I fell in love. I originally asked for it so I could wear it as a dress, but it was a little too short. I ended up loving it as just a sweatshirt though! It's so soft and extra cozy because it's so big. 

My black leggings are perfect to wear with this sweatshirt because they're just black and simple, like my Timbs. I love doing my makeup when I wear this look though! I usually go with my Kat Von D lipgloss and play with the colors in my Urban Decay NAKED3 palette. The rose gold colors look so great with this lip color!

Overall, I love this look because it makes me feel like a badass, like Halsey, but it's so comfy (and warm!) that I really feel like myself. Thus, I've named this look "Cozy Badass." To all my other cozy badasses out there, I hope you enjoy the rest of your week!
