Hi hi!!! Yes, hello, it is me. I am still alive and haven't fallen off of the face of the planet, I swear! Between baby-barfing off of a zip-line platform, frying my skin for three weeks at the beach, and writing twenty or so articles for CF, I have been a little busy, I do suppose...but no worries, you can't get rid of me so easily.
As mentioned, after having taken a couple hundred photos of my stylish friends and cranking out some #RAD columns for College Fashionista in the last month or so, I'm a bit rusty at actually writing about myself. I'm also a bit rusty at putting on clothes that aren't workout pants and figuring out how to do cat-eye liner again (tune in to CF this coming Monday for an article on cat-eye liner and my struggles!!!!) Thankfully, I am blessed with artistic and #hip friends who know how to be behind the camera when I, for once, willingly step in front of it...because I'm so serious about the workout pant thing. (The secret it to actually NOT workout and just trick your fellow humans into thinking you're about to go for a "jog" or drink some cold pressed dirt juice.) But alas, today I wiggled myself into a skort (I wonder how many people have actually ever said this in seriousness?) and only re-did my eyeliner six times for this post! Maybe seven times on the right eye. Blouse: Oscar de la Renta Expressions, thrifted ($4) Proof that a little or a lot of digging in any thrift store can land you a sweet find. It's also 100% silk AND looks like a popsicle. Skort: TopShop UK ON SALE!!! ($14) Necklace: Forever21 ($6) Buy it here! Literally don't even get me started on online shopping at F21...probably half of my college tuition would cover my purchases in the last year. Wedges: Me Too... from TJ Maxx ($28) Lipstick: NYX Butter Lipstick in Bonfire Orange ($6) Buy it at Ulta or here! NYX is my favorite makeup brand ever wow yes wow. At Ulta and select Targets and CVS, this brand is seriously the bomb. My favorites are the matte lip cream and the new contour stick (mostly because it's fool proof and I am a fool, as we all know.) Sunglasses: Nastygal ($18) My light, my love, my haven. Yeah I basically worship Sophia Amoruso so you can guess that I also worship Nastygal. Another online retailer that has killer sales; also a GREAT place to find Jeffery Campbell shoes discounted! Clearly I am a FrUiT fAn (eating it, smelling it, bathing in it, wearing it) so I'm allllll aboard the fruity print and accessories train! If you wanna get a lil' fruity, check out this swag melon bag or these fun pineapple earrings! If you need a little encouragement then here is Solange lookin' bangin' in a punchy (ha ha) dress. If fruit isn't for you, try your hand at the classic color block. Pick two analogous colors--or just some colors you think look rockin' together--and boom boom put em together (it's that easy.) My favorites are reds, pinks, and oranges like my girl Kelly Osbourne, but the classic black and white color block is always a hit. Thanks to my killer gal Clio for taking my supermodel documentary hour shots today.
