The Details

The Story

Hi, everyone! School barely started and I'm already on the run to make it the best semester it can possibly be. You know, the whole sleep, social life, good grades trio. I think so far I'm balancing it out pretty well, so hopefully it stays that way. I'm ready for a day of work and wine tasting class, so this post is going to be cut pretty short. 

There's no real story here. Just one of the photoshoots I did over the summer in Los Angeles, which I miss so dearly. This outfit made me feel beautiful and inspired and ready to take on everything- and every single time I crave that feeling, all I have to do is look at these pictures.

Have a lovely day, everyone, and an amazing semester!

Being in a different setting for the summer has inspired me to stray away from all the items on heavy rotation during the school year. Deep hues, short skirts and prints are here to stay for the next few months, and I couldn't be happier.  There's something so refreshing about the change of the seasons, like another chance to start anew, re-evaluate your goals, strategies, wardrobe- and become inspired with your surroundings. Sort of cheesy? Maybe, but I'm all about anything that might require a new resolutions list (and some new outfits, anyone?). I'm currently in love with the deep blue of this ShopSosie top and on the hunt for as many items in the color as possible. Fun fact: this baby is a cold shoulder top, so being able to wear it as a regular top and still creating a look that I'm fond of is great! I always enjoy getting my money's worth when it comes to my purchases.  Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope everyone is feeling as inspired this summer as I am!

Friends! Romans! Countrymen! 

Marvelous news! I am alive and sane (more or less) and still very much enjoy plastering my face and outfits on the interwebz! It's been a long few weeks without outfit documentation, but I'm coming back strong.

And by strong I mean I'm wearing the outfit I very unfortunately wore when my boss decided to send me to a lecture filled with members of the 50+ crowd (and to my delight, the president of the university) so I could snap some pictures for our social media.

While I'm one to usually stand by my fashion choices (and I feel my look so much that I'd probably crop my kid out of the picture and post it on social media), even I have to admit that it was far from being a good moment for me. My favorite part was having to leave in the middle of the lecture and hustle to class- an extra 30 seconds of all eyes on me- great stuff!

Going past that- it's good to be back, and I'm still absolutely in love with this outfit- no matter what my higher-up friends in the university administration care to think.

You do you, college students!

Thanks for stopping by :)

Full disclosure: I don't do winter weather. My body doesn't do winter weather; my wardrobe doesn't do winter weather; my hair doesn't do winter weather; and my skin REALLY doesn't do winter weather. 

In a typical year, the places I interact with are southern New Mexico, Los Angeles, and San Antonio, none of which are known for cold winters. This time around, though, San Antonio decided to mess with me.

I'm happy I picked up this black and white coat from Charlotte Russe. Coats have always terrified me a bit, as I feel they swallow up my frame. However, the belted waist and fairly body-skimming shape made it a winner in my eyes!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Greetings, everyone! Today's look is one of my favorites as of late- both in photography and composition. I'm getting some great use out of the DSW boots purchased on clearance and a bunch of items that have been stuck inside my closet for longer than they should have. 

I wore this look while being touristy at the missions in San Antonio and (surprisingly) nailed it both weather and comfort-wise. The boots can carry me for miles, and while it was windy and chilly, the coat and tights pairing did wonders. 

In terms of accessories, I swear my entire jewelry box is going to consist of stuff from my boyfriend and his family. The necklace is a Christmas gift from his parents (and handmade by his aunt), and the earrings are a gift from his grandmother! I love them both, and they will definitely be making more appearances on the blog! Shoutout to Aidan's family for always spoiling me! I really appreciate you guys :) And while we're at it, shoutout to Aidan for taking my photos- my cousins always feel bad for you for having to deal with me. 

To everyone else, thank you SO much for stopping by! :)

Good evening, party people! Today I got to spend time in Houston with my parents and some family friends and I thought my outfit looked pretty spiffy. The sweater and skirt are some of the items I left home before going back to school and it was lovely to reunite with them after so many months. The skirt is particularly special, as it was my aunt's when she was around my age (she's in her late 50's now!). I always love myself a good historically significant piece! One of the newer items featured that I am particularly excited about is this pair of boots from DSW. As mentioned in previous posts, I've been craving a pair of heeled over-the-knee boots like none other! My dream finally came true when I found these babies on sale (for $30!!!). Of course I had to get myself a Christmas present!

Thank you for stopping by! Have a lovely evening! :)

Outfit: Polka Dot Dress + Thin Sweater.

Photos by my self timer earrings: Forever21 dress: Wet Seal ring: purchased in Puerto Penasco sweater: LA Hearts (via Pacsun) backpack: Black Poppy (via Pacsun) shoes: Chinese Laundry (via DSW) Posting these pictures is breaking my heart right now. I was doing so well with the nice, fancy background photos! Alas, with school taking over, it's difficult to find someone willing and able to spare a few moments in the name of fashion personal style photography.

This is my first time taking the tripod/self timer combination out for a spin, so bear with me. I was a bit iffy about posting today due to the photography quality (focusing the damn thing and finding an empty-ish background in my room have proven to be quite challenging). However, this is one of my favorite outfits I've worn all semester, so I deemed it worthy of your consideration.

Hope everyone agrees and isn't too offended by my lack of camera-focusing skills!

Thanks for stopping by!
