Everything is Nice in Nice - Spring Break Part 1

What I Wore: [Top: Forever 21, Skirt: American Apparel, Boots: Franco Sarto, Hat: H&M, Earrings: Anthropologie, Belt: Forever 21, Lipstick: Bite Beauty Lip Crayon in “Quince”]

I recently got back from spending a week exploring France with 4 of my friends for spring break. And let me tell you, it was an amazing experience. Like the title says, we spent the first part of our trip in Nice on the French Rivera. It felt so good to be able to get some fresh air, sunshine, and slow down from fast paced city life. Although I can’t say we slowed down too much, with such a short amount of time (only 4 days) there was a lot we wanted to see and do in the area, so pretty much everyday was packed. I took the two photos below on our first full day there from an amazing lookout point at the top of a huge hill - getting up there was definitely the most exercise like thing I’ve done since being abroad - but the view was so worth the hike. I was one of my most favorite things we did while in Nice.

The photos above were taken on our last day in Nice as my friends and I stopped for our final helping of the amazing locally made ice cream before we headed off to Paris (I went for the mango sorbet). As I have always had a big spot in my heart for stripes I made sure to fully embrace quintessential French style and pair my stripes with a big “I feel really cool when I wear this” hat.

A post from Paris should be up within the next few days, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, thanks for stopping by!

OOTD: Boyfriend Jeans + Stripes

What I Wore: [Top: Forever 21, Sweater: Banana Republic, Jeans: LC Lauren Conrad, Shoes: White Mountain]

Today’s outfit was incredibly simplistic and comfortable, yet I feel like it was more stylish than most lazy day outfits. I’ve been trying to breakaway from my habit of only wearing dark-wash skinny jeans and have always liked the look over boyfriend jeans with wedges or heels, so here we are. Although I will still always prefer a skirt or dress any day of the week, sometimes a girl just has to wear pants and this pair is remarkably comfortable. 

Until next time,

OOTD: Maxi-ed Out

What I Wore [Shirt: Urban Outfitters, Jacket: Macy’s, Skirt: Forever 21, Shoes: Born]

Maxi skirts/dresses are one of my favorite things to wear, not only are they not pants (which I love) but they are nice and long so I don’t have to worry about bending down and any wardrobe malfunctions happening. I picked this simple black one up at Forever 21 a while ago and have been loving wearing it on days when I want to be lazy but still appear put-together. 

I am slowly but surely getting used to my new hair, what are your thoughts?

OOTD: Sunday Brunch

What I Wore [Dress: Gap, Belt and Earrings: Forever 21, Boots: Lucky]

My parents came into town this weekend which meant eating lots of good food and being a tourist around Portland. This morning before they headed back to the Midwest we had brunch at The Daily Cafe in The Pearl, which was amazing. This striped dress, easy hair, and a pair of boots were the perfect thing to throw on this morning and is becoming one of my go-to outfits. Have a good sunday!

OOTD: Denim Dresses and Wavy Tresses

What I Wore [Dress: Forever 21, Cardigan: Urban Outfitters, Tights: H&M, Belt: T.J Maxx, Boots: Lucky Brand]

It’s looking to be a beautiful weekend in Portland, loving that can I wear a cute outfit without having to layer coats, scarves, and fleece tights over it to stay warm! 

Saturday Style

What I Wore [Sweater: Forever 21, Button Up: T.J. Maxx, Jeans: Gap, Flats: Michael by Michael Kors, Earrings: Betsey Johnson, Lipstick: Revlon “Raspberry Bite”]

On Saturday Morgan and I wandered through the entire Pearl District in search of a coffee shop to do homework in, this polka dot sweater was the perfect thing to wear for walking around in the cool air and curling up to do homework and sip hot drinks.

Hope all your weekends were wonderful :)
