Free People ‘So Obviously Yours’ Bell Sleeve Top – On Sale! Also available in white and black

Valentino Rockstud Pumps – great dupe here and here

I LOVE a good bell sleeve, and honestly, who doesn’t?? This groovy trend has been back in style for the past couple of seasons, and I love all the great sweaters and tops. I have had my eye on this Free People ‘So Obviously Yours’ Bell Sleeve Top for the longest time, and when it went on sale, I had to snag it! The top is on the shorter side, which is fine for my non-existent torso. Plus, I think it balances out the ultra long, flared sleeves. The sleeves are super unique and have a bow detail that falls right above my elbow. The bow cinches the sleeve in, for a flattering look. I am usually an XS in Free People, but due to my bicep muscles (yes, I have rather large bicep muscles) I went up to a S so that the clinched sleeve wouldn’t cut off my circulation…

Work wear for me is a daily struggle. It’s what I wear the most, so I need to make sure I look good in whatever it is! But I just cannot myself to spend a ton of money for work clothes. Especially when I can use my $$ towards bags, shoes, and oh so many other fun things! After a little over 2 years of adulting, and in the true style of this blog, I’ve put together a work wardrobe mixing low-end and high-end pieces. To do this, I’ve put together a list of must-have staples. These are the items you will constantly wear and mix and match with other pieces, so they should be good quality and you can afford to splurge a little.

Hi Friends! Apologies for being MIA lately. October has been a busy month – B’s birthday, Family obligations, one of my oldest and bestest friends getting married, and just life in general! But now we’re one day away from November?! I can’t even deal.

Even with the weather cooling down, I had a special outfit planned for my friend’s rehearsal dinner. I adore statement closet pieces. A special item, like this Missguided Premium Crochet Lace Midi Skirt, stands out in the best way. Here, I paired it with a simple black crop top and my V alentino Rockstud Pumps. Since it was breezy, I topped the look off with a black moto jacket. For a cute winter look, this skirt plus a cozy off the shoulder sweater, would be too cute. I am wearing a US 4, and it fits perfectly. My crop top could be a teeny bit shorter, but alas, I am blessed with a short torso.

Rebecca Minkoff Backpack – My Favorite New Accessory

Backpacks have been super on trend lately, and they’re not your Jansport school backpacks. Do kids these days even know what Jansport is? All I wanted every year before school started was a new backpack and I was lucky enough that my mom indulged me every. year. In hindsight, that was super frivolous, but hey, I just had to have that giant pink backpack to put all 7 of my textbooks in, which gave me intense back problems. Yup. The trendy backpacks today are not always about function, but this girl needs to carry a lot of crap with her!

Hi Friends! For this Travel Tuesday post, I’m doing something a little different and showing you my ride-or-die travel skincare routine. These past few months have been filled with travels, and my skin always takes a toll. Airports, planes, and climate changes make my skin freak out. I find the air in airports to be so odd…maybe it’s the immense amounts of people, fast food, and industrial equipment, all in one place…ha. Also, everyone gets dry and dehydrated on planes. A lot of beauty gurus I follow say they use face masks on planes. Really?? I don’t know if I truly believe them. Maybe if you’re on an international flight in your own pod… For now, these products are my tried and true favorites. I’ll talk about each of them, and add in some of my other travel must-haves for your skin.
