The Perfect Pair

What I Wore: [Top: Anthropologie, Skirt: American Apparel, Shoes: Bass via DSW, Bag: TJ Maxx]

You know those outfits you have that you just put on and never want to take off because you feel so great in them? This is mine. It's 100% my style, extremely comfortable, and works perfectly with my body type. I also love this look a little bit more than usual because my hair is now (finally!) long enough to put up into a tiny top-knot! Because of my 17 years of being a dancer I think having my hair up in a bun is just always going to be the most comfortable and natural style for me. This look was perfect for a day full of running around town and checking things off my extremely long to do list, but I've also worn it during a long day of classes and for nicer occasions with a pair of wedges instead of my flat sandals. You've gotta love versatility! 

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead of you - mine will be filled with breaking in my new running shoes, seeing "The Fault In Our Stars", some hot yoga, and plenty of sleeping in :)

Thanks for stopping by!

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: Florescent Adolescent

What I Wore [Top: J. Crew, Skirt: American Apparel, Flats: Lucky Brand, Necklace: ASOS, Lips: Clinique “Curviest Caramel”]

These last few days the weather in Portland has been unbelievably beautiful every single day so I’ve had to put off wearing many of my sweaters and jackets and instead come up with some new combos for my warmer weather clothes. I love the mix of color and texture in this outfit, it gives lots of visual interest without being overbearing. I know I’ll be wearing this skirt for months to come seeing as I can pair it with just about anything. Hoping you’re all having a beautiful Saturday!

Until next time

Had to include these photos (only 2 of many) because staying serious when your best friend is taking your photo is hard!
