Pleats in Paris - Spring Break Part 2

What I Wore: [Dress: Topshop Sale, Necklace: Nordstrom Rack, Shoes: Born, Coat: Michael by Michael Kors, Lipstick: Bite Beauty Lip Crayon in “Rhubarb”]

For the second half of our spring break my friends and I got to spend 5 beautiful days in Paris, otherwise known as my favorite place in the world. The weather was beautiful everyday we were there, we ate Laduree, had tea at the original Chanel boutique (still cannot believe that happened), walked and walked and walked, drank champagne, took in as much amazing art as we could handle, and overall just fell in love with the city of light.

I brought this dress along because 1. I love it, it’s so cute, I nearly cried when I tried it on at Topshop because it’s so perfect and 2. It’s pretty visually interesting piece so it’s great for traveling when I have limited space for packing accessories and layering pieces. It also felt kind of Paris-y to me, so everything just worked out perfectly. I’m also now on navy-colored dress buying ban, because this girl has a few too many in her closet right now.

Here are a few photos from our time in Paris:

A perfect example of the beautiful weather we had while in Paris, spend one day wandering around Montmartre, seeing Sacre Coeur, eating Creme Brûlée at the Amelie Cafe, and poking around vintage shops.

It was Kaylie’s 21st birthday the first day we were in the city which meant a trip to the huge Ladureé on the Champs Elysees (the excitement was so real and everything was amazing).

The last night in Paris my friends and I bit the bullet and stood in line for two hours so that we could go to the top of the Eiffel Tower at night, it was so worth the wait - I really couldn’t have imagined a more magical way to end an amazing spring break.

Cambridge and a Cardigan

What I Wore: [Dress: Topshop, Sweater: Urban Outfitters (super old), Belt: Forever 21, Shoes: Born, Earrings: Kate Spade]

On Sunday myself and 9 others on my study abroad program woke up early and hopped on the train to spend the day in Cambridge. It was a simply lovely day full of punting on the Cam, pub food, gawking at all the amazing architecture/wondering what it would be like to go to school in such a beautiful place, and lots and lots of wandering around the cobble stone streets. I’m hoping to make more of these type of day trips around England while I am here in London, my list of places I want to see and explore is never ending!

I picked up this beautiful emerald dress in during the Topshop sale within my first two weeks here and I am so glad I did! I’m really loving the higher neckline trend right now, hence why the combination of the mock turtle neck, ultra flattering cut, and beautiful color/texture made it impossible for me to pass up. Paired with it I’m wearing two of my most beloved pieces, my quilted Born flats and this mauve cardigan, to help tie the whole look together.

Thanks for stopping by!
