Good evening, everybody! Tonight I'm going to be sharing my Valentine's Day outfit. I'm beyond excited about this post for multiple reasons. First off, I suppose we'll talk fashion. I was thrifting over in San Antonio when I went to visit my parents for winter break, and I came across this beautiful red nightgown (I'm pretty sure this is a nightgown, yes). 

The moment I laid eyes on that sucker, I knew it would be my Valentine's Day dress. So I go to the register, and they give it to me for 50 cents. Definitely one of my proudest thrifting moments. Boyfriend complaint: it's kind of shapeless. It was a valid concern on his part, I suppose, but sometimes you gotta just switch it up.

I'm a huge fan of the teddy and body chain combination. Lingerie is one of those things that I love to indulge in although it is so not worth it for someone like myself, who's always trying to be budget-friendly. Getting to wear it as a visual part of my outfit helps justify the purchase a bit more. Then there's the body chain which will forever be a staple in my closet.

Beyond the fashion, I'd just like to take a quick moment and thank my amazing boyfriend for the photographs. I don't know if it comes off as obvious on-screen, but these photos are taken with a film camera. So a huge shoutout is in order to this lovely human being that took the time to rent out a fancy camera, transport it by plane and car, take the pictures, and get them developed, scanned and sent over.

It warms my heart how supportive he always is about this blog, and how he always goes above and beyond to help me turn visions into realities. Thank you so much, Aidan! And thank you so much to everyone that takes time out of their precious days to visit my blog and encourage me to keep writing! You're the best :)

Good evening, everyone! How goes it? I just woke up from an unexpected nap, complete with super attractive drooling (a.k.a. I got knocked out without even realizing it cause I had exams two days in a row and was a walking zombie by that point). Now I'm counting down the minutes (55 at press time) until the new Law & Order: SVU episode starts because my habits are really unhealthy, guys. 

Today's look is simple and non-fussy and just ready for a long day of school and work. My mom used to do that half ponytail thing to my hair back in the day, and it was feeling very flat the other day, so I decided to go down nostalgia road and pretend I'm 5 again.

I've been meaning to mess around with those super cute socks since I bought them about a semester ago, but it just didn't feel right- until yesterday, that is. These LC Lauren Conrad booties have been worn so much lately on their own, they were just ready for a bit of an update, and Target happily delivered. Overall, I was just in a comfy and cozy state of mind so a comfy and cozy outfit was the way to go!

45 minutes until Law & Order: SVU! Have a beautiful evening, party people!

Style: Oscars Favorites.

Merry post-Oscars Monday, everyone!

Although it doesn't seem that a lot of people were digging Neil Patrick Harris' presentation style, one has to appreciate the white skivvies, right? This year's ceremony brought on a lot of feels, as award recipients tackled important issues such as equal pay, ALS, Alzheimer's, suicide prevention, and immigration, among others.  By far the most touching moment was John Legend and Common's performance (and win) for the song Glory. I don't blame the people attending for being drenched in tears. Heck, I was comfortably sitting on my couch and bawling my eyes out during the speech. It's people like these that make the less socially sensitive folks of the entertainment industry (S.P., anyone?) a bit more bearable.

In terms of style, there were so many beautiful people that killed it on the red carpet. I wish I had a better understanding of men's fashion (or, I guess, a keener eye for tuxes) so I could include some lovely male eye candy in my roundup, but for now, I'm just going to give some shoutouts to the ladies that made me green with dress envy. (Also, Eddie Redmayne. Because Eddie Redmayne is the absolute cutest). Here were my favorites from the night: 

Jenna Dewan Tatum

Zendaya

Naomi Watts

Emma Stone

Oprah

Jennifer Lopez

Dakota Johnson

Rosamund Pike

Margot Robbie

As usual, I was attracted to the (mostly) deep hues and body skimming silhouettes, and just in general by the looks that felt most cohesive from head to toe. If I had to choose an ultimate favorite, it would be Emma Stone. Her dress cut and color were so unexpected and not the easiest to pull off, but she's Emma Stone, so she can pull anything off. 

And this concludes the awards season. Cheers, and thank you so much for stopping by!
