Last Friday I was battling a particularly strong case of blahness. I was in this rut where my mood was “blah.” My clothes felt “blah.” My hair felt “blah.” These are the moments that I am most susceptible to impulsiveness (fighting the urge to go buy new clothes and/or chop off my hair). So I decided to fight these feelings by mixing things up. I threw on my husband’s glasses (which I have now officially adopted to be own. Thanks hubs!), tossed my hair up into a messy topknot, and put on some bold lipstick. Sometimes it’s just necessary to have a little fun & play around! Later that night Ryan and I went out to dinner with friends & went to a comedy show fundraiser. Made for a fun Friday night out. Laughter is the best medicine. :)

Hope your Friday is wonderful. ♥

Here are some looks that I am currently loving. The wavy hair, neutral colors, layers, and long satchels. ♥

Here are some pretty things that I would purchase if given the chance. (I have a thing for neutral tones… can you tell? ha.) I picked some fun pieces and some that would easily transition in the fall. Happy Shopping!

1. Knit Scarf Forever 21 2. Leatherette Handbag Forever 21 3. Juice Couture Watch ASOS 4. Cream Mini Dress Modcloth 5. Blue Frill Dress ASOS 6. Free People Pullover Piperlime 7. Silk Button Down Blouse Piperlime

There are a lot of great affordable beauty products out there, it’s just about finding the right items. I’ve compiled a list of my favorite drugstore beauty products. My favorite part? They are all under $15! 

1.     Physician’s Formula Organic Wear Bronzer & Blush - $12.99

Let’s go ahead and imagine we live in a dream world where we get to go shopping and buy lots of lovely little things. In this dream world, I would go ahead and purchase the above items. It would just be fabulous, wouldn’t it? So many pretty things. Ahhhhh. 

Don’t wake me I plan on sleeping in… 

You can find the items at the links below:

  I finally got my closet organized after a few weeks of moving craziness. While doing so, I came across these shorts that I purchased about a month ago and never got the chance to wear. Friday night provided the perfect opportunity, and I was excited to get a little dressed up after days of working around the apartment. 

Hope your week is off to a great start. ♥

I’ve been feeling particularly uninspired with my wardrobe lately. I would love to go shopping, but with the recent move across the country that’s definitely not in the budget. So… I’ve been looking around for some different outfit inspiration. These are some of the outfits/pieces inspiring me. Now I shall go into my closet and play dress up. Pair things in new ways. Try things I wouldn’t normally try and see how it makes me feel. Just have fun. Because that’s when true creativity happens. When you stop trying and just have fun with it.

[Embellished Mini Dress $107.58 ASOS; Cypress Dress $128 J Crew; Soft Tank $54.50 Gap; Cypress; Suede Wedges $89.50 Gap]

As much as I love bright colors for spring, I just love the elegance and timelessness of these neutral pieces. I believe my next two purchases will be a cream blouse and a pair of brown or nude wedges.

Today is a busy day of running errands and getting everything together for our LA trip. We leave tomorrow night, and I am so excited! Trying to do laundry, go to the store, get organized, etc. So this was my go-to outfit, because it is not only comfy, but I feel stronger in it. Something about these boots makes me feel infinitely tougher, like I can take on the day. And yes, it is all in my head, but I love it either way. ♥
