Spring Break: Coral, Navy, and White Casual Wear

Okay so.. it's only a mere 4 days until I officially leave for my trip, and I only have my official second outfit done. I feel like I'm slacking a bit on the planning, but I have some spare time and the rest of my outfits are well on their way!
This outfit is from Victoria's Secret as well. (I think I might love VS a bit too much...) And I definitely wasn't lying when I said that I'm going to be wearing coral, navy, and white most of my vacation.. but hey, it's nautical and beachy and that's the whole goal, right?

1. Scotch & Soda Beach Bracelet- here // 2. VS Button Tee- here // 3. VS Eva Short- here // 4. Brahmin Bag- here // 5. Kenneth Cole Earrings- here // 6. Kate Spade Ring- here // 7. Valentino Sandals- here

So.. let's break down the outfit:

Usually, I find that the beach in mid-March can sometimes get chilly so I like that I packed a shirt that covers a lot of my arm. I also got the shorts with a 5" seam so I will have more coverage; also, longer shorts are totally in this season so I couldn't help myself!

I absolutely love the gold toned jewelry with my skin tone, and I also found that it works really well with these colors. I also love the cute, hand-made looking beaded bracelets for the beach!

As for the bag and shoes, they're a bit on the expensive side (Valentino and Brahmin), but any cute nautical tote and sandals would work just as well. I just happen to love these with the outfit.

I hope that everyone has an amazing spring break no matter where you choose to spend it, and I will be updating very soon!

Spring Break: Maxi Dresses and Nautical Jewelry

Spring break starts tomorrow!!! Well, at least it does where I live.
The departure date for my trip is getting closer, and I keep thinking about all of the clothes and accessories I'm going to pack! Thankfully, my coral maxi dress, cover-ups, and swim suits came in right on time, and I still have some extra time to do some last minute shopping before I leave.
I'm definitely going to be wearing a lot of coral, navy, and white this spring break. I'm also going to be accessorizing with cute nautical themed jewelry.
Below is a picture of one of my outfits I have put together so far. I think the MK tote would look great as a beach bag, and I'm absolutely loving the linked bracelet and aviators.

The links are added below so you can get this look too!

What's everyone else doing for spring break? I'd love to know!

VS Bright Bathing Suits

Spring break is right around the corner, and I can not express how excited I am!  Next week is my week to finally get away, soak up some rays, and get much needed relaxation time with my best friends. Aside from the fact that I get to break away from class for one whole week, I have yet to go on a spring break trip in college. So I've decided that this is my last spring break, and I'm going to make it count! (And you should too!) So, whether you're planning on going to South Padre Island, Panama City Beach, or any other location of your choice, first thing's first- plan your bathing suits pronto!

What suits did I choose this season? Victoria's Secret, of course.

This season, Victoria's Secret bathing suits have been more in style than ever before! They have such a wide variety of cute, fun, and not to mention BRIGHT colors.

Want to know the best part about them? Most of them are totally inexpensive!

All of the solid colored swim bottoms shown below are only $19, and the tops are $29 or less.

Another great thing about Victoria's Secret suits? They are so easy to mix and match!
For this spring break, I bought three bathing suits for the whole week, but I can mix and match them 9 different ways if I wanted to.
Also, these bathing suits would look amazing no matter what color you put together!

With all of these great advantages, Victoria's Secret is still the number one place to buy suits for this year.

So, do you love Victoria's Secret swim line?
What's your favorite spring break spot?

Let me know; I would love to hear from you!

Obsessed: Kate Spade

Is it just me or is Kate Spade some kind of a color GENIUS?

Kate Spade has been one of my favorite fashion go-to's for the longest time, and I'm very proud to say that Spade's new collection has more color than ever before.

Whether I'm out shopping with the girls, at a collegiate function, or on a special dinner date, this brand's fun, exuberant, and classy style is easily versatile for any occasion.

With much deliberation on which items to include in this look, below are some of my favorite Kate Spade picks to wear this season!

One of my favorite ways to wear Kate Spade accessories is to mix and match them with a simple, black dress or to wear them with a cute, patterned black-and-white dress as shown above.

So which brands do you love? How are you going to spice up your looks this year?

Comment me and let me know!

I'm really excited to hear about some of your favorite style icons and brands to wear this season. :)

See you all very soon!

LOVE is in the air!...or on your wrist?

Chocolate, hearts, chocolate, flowers, chocolate, cards...... oh, and did I mention chocolate?
As you can see, these are just a few reasons why I absolutely LOVE Valentine's Day... and Valentine's Day is here!!
As I sit at Starbucks and sip my skinny vanilla spiced latte, I can absolutely tell that love is in the air, and I'm absolutely LOVING it!

And speaking of love.... I LOVE LOVE LOVE these cute love bracelets!

Fortunately for the single ladies like me, whether you're going out to brunch with the girls or to dinner with your beau, these adorable bracelets will look absolutely fab on your wrist with any outfit of choice.

Need some sweet ideas to wear them with? 

This Valentine's day I'm wearing mine with red skinnies, a gold top with a navy cardigan, and gold flats.

So, where can you get these? I got mine from Etsy! The great thing about Etsy is that it has so many cute things for low, affordable prices. Not to mention, there are so many choices and options that make it easy for you to have original fashion pieces. All of the vendors and shop owners are so sweet, and they strive to make online shopping easier for everyone to use.

Now that I've told you a few things I love about Valentine's Day, I'd love for you to share some of your favorites with me as well! I hope everyone has an outstanding Valentine's, and I will post again soon!
