Current Obsession // Chelsea Boots

Chelsea boots have been on trend for the last few years but they only recently peaked my interest.  Thanks to the Future of Fashion series by British Vogue featuring Alexa Chung, I developed a new interest in Alexa’s style.  After looking at countless images of her outfits, one piece stood out to me.  The Chelsea boot seems to be one of Alexa’s go to pieces and I was instantly mesmerized by how effortlessly chic a pair of boots can make your overall look.

70's Fever

When it first popped up, I had a love/loathe feeling about the seventies trend.  The seventies was a time of twig thin women and fashion reflected that waif image.  As a woman who isn’t a stick, I found this trend hard to pull off.  However, I’m feeling inspired by the pieces I’m seeing online and I wanted to make a post centered on how to translate the trend for a curvier body type.

Fall Wishlist

Fall is finally here! Now that the leaves are changing and the weather is cooling off, I’m feeling the urge to add some fall inspired pieces into my wardrobe and makeup collection.

Spring Wishlist

Spring is here and I feel inspired to revamp my style. These are the items I want to add to my wardrobe and makeup collection.

Birthday Wishlist

March is finally here! Spring is around the corner and my birthday is just 28 days away. While I’m a little overwhelmed about being a year older, I can’t help but also get excited at the opportunity to do a little retail celebrating. Some of these items have a steep price tag so they are probably more wishes than what will actually be on my real birthday shopping list. Either way, I thought it would be nice to show you what I have been coveting lately.

NOTD: Sally Hansen All Fired Up

Lately I've been obsessed with bright nail polish.  Normally, I prefer more toned down shades.  However, now that spring is in full bloom I am ready to embrace bright nail colors.  Also, I love the bright orangey red nails on Mad Men.  Inspired by the warmer weather and the return of my favorite show, I decided to sport a polish from my collection that sadly I don't give enough love.

Figuring out this whole blog thing....

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/6726683/?claim=3tapm93mzk7">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>

I'm not a very tech savvy person.  In the past I've tried and failed to keep up with blogs.  Unfortunately, I could never figure out the whole RSS feed thing (shameful I know).  A site that really helped make it super easy for me to follow blogs is Bloglovin.  Above is the link and apparently I need to put it up there to validate my new account.  So, bear with me and the link above.  Soon I hope to have a fancy Bloglovin button off to the side where you can click and add my blog to your reading list!

The Dreaded First Blog Post/Introduction

Here’s a little bit about me:
I graduated fairly recently with my master's degree.  After graduating, I decided to take the plunge and start making YouTube videos.  Looking back, I don’t know why I didn’t do the whole blog thing sooner.  I feel much more at home typing away on my computer than in front of a camera.  I think after years of being conservative with my life decisions, I needed to venture outside my comfort zone and into the world of YouTube.  Now I’m back in front of the keyboard and instead of trying to stealthily insert my creative pros into my school research papers, I plan on unleashing my creativity here on my blog!  I will post the usual product reviews, favorites, OOTD, empties, hauls, and whatever odd bits I decide to throw into the mix.
