Lavender Loves: Shoes!

To be more specific... pointed shoes. 

Like most of my obsessions it has something to do with looking effortlessly classy.

One of my favorite shows ever has to be The Carrie Diaries. I have the exact same ambitions as Carrie, and she always manages to look chic and put together. Her character is constantly seen with heels. I would gladly wear them everywhere but I feel like that would be a little much. 

Here are some pointed shoes I desperately need in my closet!

Denim Dreams

           

    So recently I've been becoming more and more obsessed with denim. I've been using my denim vests and jackets more than usual.  More particularly, I've been eyeing denim overalls. Something about them making a comeback makes me love them! Recently I just ordered a pair online because of my impatience to actually go to a store and buy one. I can only imagine the amount of ways I can dress them up, or down. And I also really love that denim dress. How more cute could it be ?! Anyways, you've had enough of my complaining. Hope this board gave you some inspiration to go out and buy some denim, as I am!

Stay chic, xo

Mothers Day Recap ✿

   I'm about 3 days late on this but HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! (Better late then never right?)
I'd just like to say, to any mothers that are out there, young or old, you're are extremely strong and beautiful. So I hope you celebrated with everything you wanted. I made dinner for my mother on Sunday and spent some time with the other mothers in my family. My mother has 5 other sisters! I guess you can say my family is huge... 'cause it is.
   In honor of my lovely and beautiful mother I decided to share with you her outfit (:

Mom's Shirt and Cardigan are from New York an Company

     Even though it wasn't my day, I still took a picture of my outfit, because I'm so obsessed with my new purse....but that's another post I'll write later on. Gladiators are from Steve Madden and Sweater is from JcPenney.

I also took with my awesome aunt! I noticed she looks kinda scary in this pic, sorry ha ha.

Stay Chic.

Must Haves for Every Purse!

I like to declare my self as a purse-aholic. But it's a very purse-onal problem.(Did you get my pun?No ? Awks)

This whole post is dedicated to the love , addiction I have with purses. These are the things I believe you certainly can't live without inside of your purse. First things, first- my purse is studded all over <3

     The basics are your phone, wallet and a small chap stick/lip gloss. No matter the size of your purse these should be here at all all time. In your wallet you should have your cards that are going to be used everyday( I.D, license, metro card.)

          

          

       
    Some next key items that I see myself having use for everyday are lotion and hair spray. I recommend travel size products so you don't have to lug around such large things. If you're a klutz like me, band aids are also a necessity.

                                  

    
    I really should carry around a makeup bag.... I also don't recommend carrying round your nicest or most expensive makeup. The makeup I carry around is mainly cheap and things I wouldn't mind if they broke.The little pocket on the side of your bad is where i store everything.In that pocket i have:

• Travel Powder Brush
• Pink Revlon Lip Gloss
• Sally Hansen Nude Lip Gloss
• "Sweet Mint" EOS Lip Balm
• "Grapevine" Maybelline Baby Lips
• Rimmel London Lipgloss "Captivate  Me"
• Express Lip Gloss/ Perfume Duo
• Ulta Blush "Girlie"
• Wet n Wild mascara
• Cover girl Lipstick Darling

                         

    
 Some random "staples" to my bag are a flashlight, house keys and a bracelet, (In case I'm not wearing enough accessories)

          

Lastly, you need a mirror in your purse. It is necessary to check your makeup and hair throughout the day! I own a vintage mirror that my mother gave to me. An old random woman gave it to her saying she used it in the 50's and it had a little compartment with powder in it.

        

       

 SORRY THESE PICTURES SUCK SO BAD!! My camera broke :(  
I hope you enjoyed and remember to add some of these items into your bags!
Stay Chic!

The Higher The Bun, The Closer to Heaven.

       On a daily basis, I'm known for rocking a sock bun at the very top of my head. I rarely have my hair down because of how hard it is to style (curse my curly locks!) However, since my hairstyle never really depends on my mood, I wear my nicest outfits with a bun. I know for some people, dressing up also means their hair, but I'm dressed up 99.9% of the time to it doesn't apply to me.

     Today was kind of (not really) warm today! So of course I wore a dress. This dress and blazer are from JcPenny.I like dresses that come with belts already so that i don't have to pay an extra 12$ for one. The blazer also makes it look more chic and business casual, even though I'm only going to school. The polka dots on the cuff of my blazer add an unexpected pop!

Did I mention this was a peplum dress?! Peplum has been one of my favorite trends. And I'll probably be wearing them 'til the day I die! They give the illusion of curves (not saying i need them) but it helps! and to me they are just as girly as a flowy skirt/dress.Another really cool thing about this dress are the leather patches on the side!

For accessories: I'm wearing my Tiffany&Co. necklace(that never leaves my neck), a gifted bracelet and I got my rings from a flea market for 5$. My snake skinned clutch/cross body, which can be worn either way is from the online shop my little black bag. Lastly My shoes are from Burlington coat Factory. I got them on sale for 10$! Oh how I love bargains.

 

Hope you have an amazing rest of the week!

Stay Chic!

Dot...Dot...Dot...

       I recently went on a huge shopping spree after my sweet 16. Before I can actually afford to buy a 500$ Marc by Marc Jacobs purse, I'm sticking to his perfumes. This particular one I've been wanting for awhile and I finally got my hands on it!

         It's such a girly and feminine scent. I'm not a fan of flowers or "flowery" smells, and this has none of that which makes me love it even more! If there actually is any flower in this perfume than it is definitely not overwhelming. The perfume is very light and is a must have scent! I believe every girl needs a scent like this.

         And lastly, this bottle is so...cute!!! To me it looks just like a little lady bug and the cap are the wings. When I run out if the perfume itself (which I don't think will be too far from now) the bottle will be a decoration on its own.

Stay chic!

Spring Wishes

Warehouse , $61 / Elastic shorts / Coco's Fortune pleated maxi skirt, $83 / Diesel , $275 / Wedge boots / Aztec wedge, $38 / Gathering Eye spike necklace, $26 / Essie nail polish, $21 / Naked Palette

       Today's post are the things really want for the new season. It's finally warming up! Which calls for some additions to my wardrobe.First things first, maxi skirts! "You can never have too many maxi skirts"-Me. It's very smart quote that I completely agree with. I adore this ombre skirt and i can only imagine all the outfits you can create with them! And you always need your LBMS (little black maxi skirt ;) 

      Shoooooessss! I love that word! I've been wanting a pair of ankle booties forever! And I'm not exaggerating that. I simply cannot get over the color and style of these coral boots from Diesel, but the price :( *Sigh*. And since its warming up a wedge sandal is definitely a new must. Who doesn't love Aztec prints on their clothes ?! They're even better on your shoes.

      Am i the only girl who doesn't own a naked palette by urban decay? I surely think so. But if i don't have one now, it might not ever happen. I'm also terribly bad at using eyeshadow. WHOOPS.  More Coral?!! That's a yes! coral is the prettiest spring color for your nails in my opinion! What women doesn't like spikes? No women! Spikes are such an amazing detail to a piece of clothing and it'd be even more amazing for me to wear it around my neck.

    Last but not least those shorts..... I LOVEEEE the pattern. I'm not really a pants or shorts* type of girl ( I guess I don't like feeling restricted, ha ha) but this pair i would definitely wear! I would also wear it with that *ombre* denim faded shirt. Denim is also a fave trend of mine.


     As you can see i may ask for a lot ! I think its okay to dream though lol.Stay Chic.
