Maxi Shmaxi

 

One thing that I'm currently obsessing over are maxi dresses. I now have one in olive green, black, and this beautiful print one and I'm lusting over a coral one after seeing one that my roommate got from H&M. Maxi dresses are probably one of the easiest, most versatile pieces to style and I know I'm going to wear them very often this summer and I'm probably going to add like 79384 more to my collection.

 

 

With this maxi dress, I decided to dress it down a little by using it as a skirt and pairing it with gladiator sandals. I love the bohemian/aztec/tribal print that it has and the colors were the first things that drew me to the dress. Purples, blues, and browns are so rich and so tasteful.

How do you guys feel about maxi dresses? Love 'em, hate 'em, can't get enough of 'em?

Happy Wednesday!

Geometric

Hello there lovelies. How are we all doing on this Monday morning/afternoon? I'm definitely having a case of the Monday's but I have to get some energy in me because this is the last week of classes which means everything is due within the next 6 or 7 days and graduation is only 20 days away. I don't think I've entirely grasped the fact that I'm actually graduating just yet. Maybe it'll hit me when I'm wearing my cap and gown.

After seeing Sex and the City 2 for a hundred times, I knew I needed to buy a turban and when I saw this beauty on Amazon for only $10, I immediately proceeded to add it to my bag. Damn you Amazon for allowing me to buy things without even having to pull out my wallet. 1 step checking out might be the death of me ... or the death of my funds.

Happy Monday!

How were all your weekends? Mine was spent studying and spending some much needed time with my mom and my boyfriend watching movies and eating too many chips while it poured outside. Best way to take advantage of a rainy day. :)

Friday Fancies: Rainy Day

This week has had sporadic weather. It's gorgeous one day, cold the next, 74 degree weather one day, 50 degree weather the next. It rains one day and it's sunny out the next day. Needless to say, I never know what to wear. I've worn flats on rainy days and boots on sunny days and I've realized that the best thing to do is wear layers and check the weather constantly to make sure I'm wearing the right shoes so I've decided to dedicate this Friday Fancies to sporadic weather/rainy days.

Jacket American Eagle $49.50, Plaid shirt Urban Outfitters $39.00, Bag Marc Jacobs $478, Leather Leggings ASOS179.30, Hoops Forever21 $3.80, Shoes Jeffrey Campbell $242, Ring ASOS $10.76, Turban Amazon $9.99

 Happy Friday!

 What are you guys doing this weekend? Today is Rutgersfest at my school which means bands perform and chaos and madness ensue. I'm excited to see all the bands perform and party it up with my friends. Have a great weekend guys! :)

Ten Things I love

1. Pocketwatch Necklaces

I recently purchased a pocket watch necklace and I love it. There's something so timeless and classy about a pocketwatch. This beauty above is from Modcloth. It's too bad it's sold out.

2. Vintage Keys

Okay sooo story time. When I was a baby, one of the first gifts I ever got was a gold key pendant from my godmother. At the time, (I'm not entirely sure if this is some type of Dominican myth or not buttt) the key was said to stop nosebleeds which I used to have quite often as a child. I was later told that it had two purposes. It's first purpose was to stop my nosebleeds but its second purpose was to be given to the love of my life on the day of my wedding. I still have the key (obviously because I'm not married) but I think it gave keys a whole new meaning for me. Ever since, I have been obsessed with keys, especially old vintage ones. I already have like two key necklaces but I love this one pictured above. :)

3. Bohemian Handbags

They just look so pretty to me. Perfect for summer strolls and if you get a messenger, they can fit just about anything. :) This beauty can be found on Amazon.

4. Bright Red Lipstick

When it comes to make up, I am a minimalist. I hardly do anything besides eyeliner and because my lips are so small, I like drawing attention to them and bright red lipstick is definitely the way to go if you want to draw attention to your lips. The lipstick I love and use is #127 by Inglot.

5. Love Letters

Love letters are definitely underrated. With technology advancing as much as it has, people rarely take the time out to write anything anymore as there's texting and emailing so readily available. My boyfriend and I are big on cards and we give each other cards for every occasion. I think that's nicer than looking back on a saved text personally. It isn't exactly a love letter, but at least it's handwritten.

6. Polaroid Hearts

Now that I have my polaroid camera, I cannot wait until I have enough pictures to make a whole heart. Isn't the idea of having the heart where your headboard is supposed to go adorable? I love it. :)  

7. Pictures taken with Fish Eye Lens

I think I might need to invest in this for my camera. I love how the pictures come out.

8. Quirky Decor for your Home

Isn't this adorable? I, personally, have an obsession with owls. I have three owl necklaces and even an owl bookend but I don't have an owl to hold my mail. This quirky thing is from Urban Outfitters.

9. Old Pictures of NYC

It's no secret that I love all things NYC, but I especially love being able to see how it was 20, 50, even 100 years ago. 

10. Jewelry Organizers

If you remember from my accessories post, I have A LOT of jewelery and I'm always looking at ways I can organize and reorganize them. This wooden organizer is perfect because it has so many compartments and even some hooks for some necklaces. It can be found on Etsy.

And there you have it. What are some of the things you guys love? I'd love to know. :)
