1. A fun, fringed necklace from BaubleBar.

2. A twist on a classic red pump by Jessica Simpson. Perfect for the upcoming holiday season!

3. A structured bag from Forever 21. 

4. Plaid trousers (I want some so bad!) from Macy's. 

5. A classic Michael Kors watch.

6. A fun, metallic crossbody by Fossil. 

TGIF, amiright? This week dragged on. After I finished with midterms on Tuesday, I kept thinking the week should be over #theworst. Tonight I'm going to the Black Keys concert with my sister, and I have a friend's party on tomorrow night. So excited to not spend the whole weekend doing homework!

Have a good one!

Whenever I buy something, I always imagine all of the outfits I'll be able to create with it. Well when I bought this striped shift in the spring I imagined wearing this exact outfit, and only now did I finally get around to posting it here on the blog. So it's been a long time coming!

This weekend was equal parts fun and studying (actually more studying than fun, but what are you gonna do). I studied most of the day on Friday, but then gave myself the night off to go to the homecoming concert. Iggy Azalea was the headliner, so needless to say, that was pretty fun. It was a great last homecoming. Then I pretty much spent all of Saturday and Sunday studying. I'll finally be done with midterms for a few weeks after Tuesday, so I'm itching to fast forward to Tuesday night. 

Hope you had a fabulous weekend!

Remember this post where I said this was my uniform? Well it still is, but I've updated it a bit with some metallic pineapples. Like I said on instagram the other day, I'm not quite sure why these spunky fruits are trending, but I'm not complaining. I think it's such a fun print for summer.

Side note: I'm so used to seeing myself with lipstick, that I feel like I look washed out without it! The white on white outfit isn't helping things either. But alas, I digress. 

Hope your week is going well so far! I leave for a week long visit to California tomorrow--can't wait!

You can't go wrong with a basic white button down and jeans. I wore this look out to dinner last week by the river on Saint Anthony Main. After we got home from dinner, Mark surprised me and his family by coming home for the 4th. It was such a fun surprise to be able to spend the holiday weekend with him. We spent a lot of time by the pool wining and dining :)

You've probably realized by now that I love a good pattern mix. It took me a while to feel comfortable mixing patterns, but now it's just second nature. It's such an easy way to jazz up an otherwise simple outfit.

This weekend was pretty perfect. We went to the Twins game on Friday, and the weather was absolutely amazing. Then on Saturday there was a lot of swimming, dining al fresco, and celebrating Mark's birthday. He's back in California now, but I will be visiting the first week in August :)

This has been my uniform as of late. I love how crisp white denim looks (and white peonies :) ) especially paired with a simple chambray top. Can't go wrong with a look that's equal parts functional and cute. I wore this outfit twice last week #outfitrepeater. Once to a bawl fest movie (The Fault in Our Stars), and another time to run errands.
