Flying Like a Butterfly

Hey ladies!
Oh and a special shout out to all my UMASS girls!! (haha this is actually the most hilarious/greatest news I received all week! Thanks for reading!)
Okay so major updates here:

• I have a formal date: woo hoo! More on this in future posts
• I have a formal dress, and formal shoes: double woo hoo!
• I drank a ton at Bonvue last night and do not feel hungover right now: triple woo hoo! (is that getting annoying yet?)
• I think after graduation I am going to go to Europe! I am not sure how/why/where but I know in my heart it is something I NEED to do!
• I am quickly approaching the end of my second to last semester of college, and it makes me appreciate everything so much more.
• I love all my friends!
• I love the direction I am going in my life, and even though I make mistakes, I would not trade anything I have experienced for the world!
• Oh lastly, my sister was initiated into her sorority! Congrats D!

So last night Bonvue was a madhouse, I think it is because it is the first Thursday we are back since Thanksgiving. I literally felt like a little seashell being pushed with the tide anyway it moved--dance floor, bar, everywhere--I don't know what was going on...regardless I had an amazing time!
I wore these shoes: $29.95 at Wet Seal. I was looking for some military & equestrian inspired lace up-sky high heels...what do you think?


As for my outfit today:

• Kelly green butterfly sweatshirt by WE THE FREE
• Forever21 blue/black jeggings
• GAP blue ruffle flats
  

I have such a strange mentality these days, I go through major bursts of different emotions. Some days I am super happy loving everything, the next I am in panic mode: what am I going to do with my life, I am only 21 why am I going to be in the real world soon, why can't I stop shopping when I'm sad? Oh the questions of my life!
Anyway, please follow the blog if you read, it will make me super happy!
Oh and my friend Alyssa and I are doing a photo shoot soon, so be prepared to see my model face (YEAH RIGHT!) all over this blog...not that you don't see enough of me already.
As always if you have any questions, just shoot me an email/message.
I love you all for reading!
Let's all get through Friday classes so we can enjoy the weekend!

Bonvue Babes

Hi Guys! So this past Thursday I went to Bonvue for the first time (legally, I am now 21) with all my friends, to celebrate my birthday that was on Wednesday. We all wanted to dress up and look classy and edgy. When I think about ultimate class and rocker edge I channel my inner Taylor Momsen (however I try to keep it classier, although you got to admit it, the girl has a wild side!) and rock out, quite literally. We were fist-pumping the whole night and it was a great time. I wanted to wear something that I could dance comfortably in but still feel pretty, because hey, I was the birthday girl and I wanted everyone to know it.

Anyway, back to the outfit. In this post I am going to describe the elements of my style choices and where you can buy the same pieces. I don't know if this is a good way to go about fashion posts but I guess it is a "try it out and learn" type of thing, just like finding a unique style, see how clever I am? Okay, sorry no more random outbursts! I wore a tight black spaghetti strap tank top that I purchased at Forever21 for $6.00 (Yes, $6 dollars people.) Seriously invest in these tanks, even if just the black (basically all I wear is black anyway) because you can wear them with anything. I tuck them into skirts, pants, shorts, wear them under dresses and sweaters, I even sleep in them sometimes-fashion and function, I LOVE! Besides the tank I wore a black skirt that I just got at Target. It is the Marciano for Target brand and it is a cotton skirt with leather panels down the front and back of the skirt. The skirt cost only $30.00 which seems a bit stiff for Target, but I am a firm believer in the black skirt. I think I wear a black skirt at least once a week; so if you are anything like me and love little black skirts, invest in this piece, it is super comfortable too and pretty much stays in place (ladies, you do not want a skirt that rides up- not classy.) Lastly, I wore my favorite pair of BCBG wedges. They are black and tan leather peep toe wedges and I love them. They weren't comfortable at first (literally made my feet bleed walking the cobblestone streets of the West Village of New York City this summer) but now they are my go to shoes. They cost $50 and I got them at Marshalls. Marshalls is a very under-appreciated store. They have top brands, and I love the adrenaline rush I get when I find an amazing deal right off the racks, there is no better feeling! Wedges are so comfortable because the weight isn't just placed on the sole and heal of your foot. If you want to dance, pick wedges over stilettos.

Anyway, this was my first fashion post and I hope you all liked it. I assume I will change how I go about these things but did you like the price point and store information? I am trying to be as descriptive as possible. As always let me know what you are thinking and wearing; I would love to hear from my readers!
