top (no longer being sold by Charlotte Russe). bralette. shorts. sneakers. sunglasses (mine are lighter!). perfume.

Hello hello hello! I hope everyone’s doing well. I’m back home on Long Island for a bit, and I’m having a blast! I didn’t realize how much I’d miss Long Island summers since this is the first one I spent in Boston, so it’s nice to come home and do typical Long Islander things and spend time with my family. I feel like I can move on from summer now.

Here’s yet another shirt I don’t wear enough! This color is so beautiful and unique. It looks like a sweatshirt, but the fabric is actually super thin, which is great in the hot weather that the east coast is suffering through. I wore my denim shorts and my black Converse to match my bralette.

I always hate when I don’t have a ton to say about a look, but this one is super simple! I always say that I need to wear more of what’s in my closet, so I’m happy I got to take this top out for a spin. I need to wear it more while the weather is still nice!

Where have you spent this summer? Let me know in the comments!

flannel (from my dad!). bodysuit. leggings (no clue, i'm so sorry!). sneakers. sunglasses (mine are lighter). perfume.

Happy Tuesday, cuties! I hope your weekend was absolutely fabulous. I can’t believe we’re almost halfway done with August! To be honest, I’m just about ready for the fall, my favorite season! It’s all about transitions, new beginnings, and my birthday ;) I’ll be twenty-one this year, so that’ll be a big change for me.

This is a good transitional look for that awkward time between summer and fall. These are my lighter leggings, which have been an actual lifesaver this summer. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I love my leggings, but I usually wear a fleece-lined pair that I just can’t put up with in the summertime. These leggings are still pretty high-waisted, so I wore it with my bodysuit, which I always say I need to wear more, and I am!

I threw my hair in my usual top knot, and pulled everything together with my blue flannel and white Converse. I’ve been digging the all black clothes with white shoes combo lately.

What are you looking forward to in the fall?! Let me know in the comments!

bodysuit (no clue, so sorry!!!). shorts (no longer being sold by Urban Outfitters). sneakers. perfume. lipstick (in Sanctuary).

Happy Thursday, my loves! I hope your week is going well. If not, I’m sorry, and I hope things get better soon. This look is as carefree and lit as I hope you get this weekend! I wore this look to a party we had at our apartment recently. It was the day I got my septum re-pierced, so I wanted to look badass and cool.

I’ve been in love with this bodysuit ever since my cousin gave it to me. It’s so comfortable, especially to go out in. The mesh makes it a little edgy, but the rest of the bodysuit is so simple that it’s the perfect amount of ~scandal~. I also wore these shorts that I obsessed over last week. The cut works perfectly. I love wearing higher waist cuts with bodysuits like this because it really accents my figure. I topped off the look with my black Converse.

I also wore!!! makeup!!! I went kinda dark because why the heck not?! This Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick will always have my heart tbh. I left my hair pretty normal; since I left my hair in a messy bun for most of the day I got a cute lil curl :’)

Happy Tuesday, angels! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. I got to see some of my sorority sisters on Sunday! Our Vice President was sweet enough to have a barbecue for us. We had so much fun! My heart is so full when I spend time with them. I’m so lucky to have them.

So here’s a sorority look! I haven’t worn this tank in a while! It’s hand-washable, and I only do those every now and then #adultingproblems. But I’m so happy I got around to washing it because it’s really one of my favorites. I used to be a cheerleader, and we used to cheer at Emerson’s basketball games, so I got it in Emerson’s colors, purple and white. I’m actually super lucky I didn’t get it in purple and yellow or gold, which used to be Emerson’s colors. They rebranded to purple, white, and warm grey/silver. I have so many feelings about it but I will spare you.

Anyway! This jersey looks great with my black lace bralette. We have a little ~French tuck~ action happening here (Queer Eye fans ;) ). I didn’t even know that what I was doing was a ~thing~ until I started watching Queer Eye! For those of you who don’t watch (you’re missing out!) Tan, the fashion guardian angel, often suggests a French tuck, which is basically when you tuck in your shirt tightly, then loosen it up so it hangs over your waistline a bit. I love doing it with most of my tanks and my denim shorts.

I topped off the look with my black Converse and a super high bun. I was torn between black and white Converse because of the letters, but I went with the black because I figured it accented them better.

What’s a piece of sorority merch you’ve been dying to get? Let me know in the comments!

happy august!

top (similar). bralette. shorts (no longer being sold by Urban Outfitters). sneakers. perfume.

Hello, beautiful people! Happy August! I’m so excited to share this look with you all because I love it so much. I’ve loved this top ever since I got it from Serengetee last year! It looks so cute with this bralette. You can kinda switch things up in a way, depending on how you wear it. I’m a fan of leaving one strap hanging, or pulling the neckline down to show my bralette if I want. I’ve been trying a little bit of both lately, and playing around with a higher neckline and more of a crop top. No matter how you wear it, this top is adorable. I love the pattern so much, and it makes me so sad that they're not offering it anymore! But I linked a couple similar patterns if you click the link under my flatlay ;) 

I’m also pumped because my roommate borrowed these shorts and just gave them back to me! I forgot I had them, to be honest. But I’m so happy I have them back in my life! The cut is very interesting. They’re high-waisted, which I love, obviously, but and very tight at the top, which I also love, but makes things difficult when you’re pulling your pants down to pee. I have a big butt! They’re also a little short, but I just love the way they look. They’re a really cool material too. I honestly don’t know how to describe it, I hope you can kind of tell from the photos. And they have pockets!

I topped this look off with my black Converse and some curly hair! I left my wet hair in a messy bun for a couple days and I got all cute and curly. I milked it for as long as I could!
