Hello all and happy Friday! We made it through the first week of 2017. Cheers to that! Has anyone made, or should I say actually been keeping, their New Years resolutions? I'm going to do a post on mine next week so stay tuned for more =)

Now, onto this silky slip dress from Haute Shop Co. Wearing your evening attire during the day may seem a little out there for some, but hear me out on this. I have to say when this trend first started, typically wearing a t-shirt under a slip dress with sneaks, I wasn't so sure about it. I may have even rolled my eyes and thought, nope, not for me! Slip dresses on their own are beautiful and slinky. They hug the body in all the right ways without being too tight, especially this one that I'm wearing. Can we take a moment to look at that side split giving some flirty leg action too! The dress does run one size small so make sure to order up one. I'm wearing a medium for reference.

One thing I love about fashion blogging is that it widens the horizons in my style views. I've tried so many different styles that I may not have before and actually found to like them. This trend, with my own spin on it, is one of them. Wearing a shirt underneath takes the look from night to day. I opted to wear heels with this for a romantic feel, but wearing sneakers would take this into day time even more so and give that urban cool girl vibe to the max.

Ruffles and Spakles

in ,

What really gets me excited about an outfit is the details, whether it be a cute little bow, an exaggerated ruffle, or simple sparkles, its the details that make me swoon. The ruffled sleeves on this gingham top give it a feminine flair with a trendy vibe. I'll always be a sucker for gingham too. It has a slightly boxy cut and runs true to size (I'm wearing an XS.) The top is under $20 too! How amazing are these star glitter pumps too?!?! They also fit true to size and give me all of the feels. They're also part of the the surprise Shopbop sale that is going on right now. It ends today (11-3.)

I have some exciting news that absolutely made my day yesterday. I mean, I was literally smiling from ear to ear and could not wait to tell my family and friends. At the beginning of each month Lauren Conrad chooses 10 style tips to showcase of her website laurenconrad.com. One of my outfits was chosen (the third one down on the list) and she even said it was one of her favorite looks for the month! She has always been one of my top inspirations in not only fashion, but also life in general. It was such a special moment for me, especially since she personally wrote the article, which you can see here. A few years back, I was also one of her Chic of the Week picks and let me tell you, that moment gave me so much inspiration. My jaw literally dropped when I visited her site and saw my picture looking back at me. I remember how excited everyone was, especially my dad and Justin. Both of these moments mean the world to me.

Also, I wanted to note that Shein is now offering 40% off for any students out there! Click here for more details.
