Dot Your Eyes

Hey everyone--

I am a bow person.  I always have been and I'm pretty sure that I always will be. I'm also a sucker for the element of surprise. These are two of the many reasons why I have fallen in love with this striped maxi from Deb Shops. If you are looking for a classic maxi with a twist, this is the dress for you. Pair it with a black bandeau and some amazing taupe wedges. This look is so fun to accessorize. You can add a few bold accessories to really pull it all together.  I chose a color block tote, a chunky bracelet, and polka dot sunglasses. These polka dot sunnies are a gorgeous shade of pink and they are so flirty! You cannot go wrong putting these sunglasses in your life, they are ONLY $4 right now!!

Happy Monday!

Student Book Exchange (SBX) at Ohio State Collaboration + Sweepstakes

Hey everyone--

I'm so excited to share a sweepstakes opportunity with you! The Student Book Exchange at Ohio State (SBX) is proud to present The Sweepstakes for a Year of Free Textbooks. SBX is offering a year of FREE TEXTBOOKS to one lucky sweepstakes winner! Wouldn't that be nice? ..

If you're an Ohio State student, chances are you've already familiar with SBX. The Student Book Exchange at Ohio State (more commonly known as SBX) is a spirit-filled bookstore that sells new and used textbooks and offers textbook rentals. They also carry Ohio State apparel as well as brand names such as "Underarmor", "Be Ohio Proud"" and "Columbus Urban Threads". SBX has been at it's current location on High St. since 1953 and some of their staff has been employed for over 30 years! They do a fantastic job at serving OSU students.

 As a student, SBX has been my go to place for textbooks and quick campus pick-me-ups. It was so wonderful to collaborate with a sweepstakes that is so local and close to home for me. I love that I got to represent The Ohio State University and SBX. When I first arrived as a freshman, I was trying to start up a blog from scratch. I would have never believed that the bookstore I shopped at would one day partner with me. Dreams really are created on this campus! O-H !

I had so much fun collaborating with the lovely Amanda, from Girl About Columbus. Amanda's blog is seriously amazing, definitely a must read. For all things Columbus, fly by her blog!

 & If you love the shirts as much as we did, you can pick them up for yourself in store and online! Amanda's "Home" shirt is from Be Ohio Proud and my "Columbus shirt" is from Columbus Urban Threads.

Now, all of you buckeyes go enter the sweepstakes for a year of free textbooks and be sure to read the terms and conditions! 

I'd like to thank SBX Ohio State for hosting the sweepstakes and providing the threads + fellow blogger Amanda Hamman of Girl About Columbus + our photographer Lauren Kinsey!

Orange You Glad

 

Hey everyone--

I love the color combination trio of bright orange, blue and white. It's crisp, breezy and a bit nautical.. perfect for blue skies and sunny days. I'm so ready for warm weather!

I also love summer scarves. They're usually the most beautiful colors. A great light weight scarf is a must-have for every wardrobe! Check out the fabulous printed scarves from Charlotte Russe. This blue floral print Charlotte Russe scarf is a bright pick-me-up for any outfit.

Have a great week!

La La Palazzo Pants

Hey everyone--

I've been dying to try out the palazzo pant trend for spring. The minute I saw these Deb Shops palazzo pants, I knew that I had to create a fun, trendy look. Don't be apprehensive about trying the palazzo pant trend, they can be flattering to all figures! Pair them with a pair of wedges or heels to visually elongate your legs and a fluttery crop top to keep the look breezy. Fun, bold accessories look best paired with palazzo. Try a colorful statement necklace and a coral fringe bag to complete the look! 

Happy Monday friends!

Hey everyone--

I have a new post for y'all finally! I was on vacation for a couple of weeks and then under the weather since I've gotten back! 

I centered this outfit around this fierce faux leather jacket from Charlotte Russe. I like to girly-fy pieces that aren't too feminine such as the classic leather jacket. I paired the jacket with a bit of lace and a flirty skirt to create a more lady-like meets glam look. 

& For any of you wondering, you can totally pull off a leather jacket for Spring! Just pair it with neutral or pastel colors and with your most flirty, feminine pieces. 

Happy Wednesday friends!
