Spring Break '17

4 days before spring break, my plans were to do absolutely nothing and enjoy the hell out of it. 3 days before spring break, my friends and I found a really good deal at a resort in Orlando, Florida and booked it that day. The following monday we drove 13 hours to Central Florida, unpacked and made the most of our week. Making a couple day trips to near by beaches, visiting downtown Disney, and eating lots of good food. Although, I didn't take as many pictures as I wish I would have, here are a few to visually summarize (most) of my trip.

DIY Cut-Off Denim

 

Cut off denim has been in trend for a while now and I am definitely still here for it. However being petite, it is a little bit harder for me to find a pair that work for me and actually give the cut off look, rather then being normal length jeans.  

Whether you have the same problem or you just simply have a pair of jeans that you wanna cut up; Below is a quick & easy way to get the cut off denim look.

What you need:

- Jeans

- Scissors

- Pen/Marker

- Ruler

Step 1: Find your jeans.

It can be any pair you are okay with cutting up. Whether it be an old pair that you've had in your closet or a pair you thrifted for this purpose. Remember how tight the jeans are, make a difference in how they are going to look. 

I have a pair of mom jeans, so mine will end up being a little more lose on the legs.

     

Step 2: Find your length & mark it.

To find where to cut your jeans, you are going to want to try them on with a pair of everyday booties. Fold up the jean so that the bottom of the fold touches the top of the shoe. This cut will end up be the longest part of your jeans (The back). 

Once you fold the pants, you will need to make a small mark or two on the jeans to keep your place. I would recommend trying to take the pants off without unfolding the bottom because it makes it a little easier.

Step 3: Cut off the bottom excess.

Cut to the mark you had previously made, then cut off the bottom part of the jean. Measure up to the other leg then do the same.

Step 4: Mark & cut the front. 

(You can stop at this step if you end up just liking how the cropped pants look.)

To get the shorter front, you will then measure up 1 inch from the bottom and mark both sides and even one in the middle for a guide. (I ended up liking how 1 1/2 inch looked, you can play with it to your liking)

Once you have made your marks it is time to cut. Cut the seams of both sides, then cut across.

(This is when I decided to add an extra half inch)

... and that's it!! You can play with it to get whatever look you want. 

Faux Fur Szn

I wanted to do a quick post about my outfit the other day. Winter is finally here, making it the perfect time to pull the [faux] fur coats out the closet. Fur coats can make any simple outfit more stylish. I find many people chose to shy away from fur coats because of the statement they can make. However, the key to wearing any attention-grabbing piece is to wear it with confidence, and you will look effortless and fabulous.

My coat is a recent purchase from Express, and it is already one of my favorites. It is hella soft, hella warm and hella cute. For this fit, I simply paired a black leather skirt with an ivory turtleneck and added the coat. I finished the look with my go-to black booties from Public Desire and my snake skin purse. Both the skirt and shirt are from Boohoo [they always have really good deals going on]. I played around with different sunglasses, showing just how a little accessory can have a huge impact. 

I hope every is having safe + happy holidays!

Finally Fall

It has been a while since my last post but I am back and it is finally fall! Fall is my favorite season, not only because the weather and holidays but also fall fashion. There are so many options you have when it comes to dressing for the fall, the weather is the perfect temperature and the color palette is filled with darker tones (which is my favorite). It is not quit cool enough to start layering but the weather is perfect for transition outfits. After a week of rain, I was able to get out today and snap a few pics of my outfit after some coffee with a friend.
