Even though I won’t be attending, Coachella is right around the corner. You don’t have to go to Coachella to appreciate the style. I have long since loved taking and mixing styles to make them my own. Here’s a feminine yet edgy festival outfit idea that you can wear to a festival or in your own backyard. Or on the grounds of the Parker Palm Springs, like I did!
Bohemian inspired style, while cute for a festival outfit, don’t feel grounded enough for me. So, I styled this lace For Love and Lemons dress with my Matisse biker boots and a red lip to make it a little more chic and classy. The grey fedora hat is from Gigi Pip, of which I am now a brand advocate and will be sharing a promo code for on Instagram very soon…
My initial vision for this festival outfit shoot involved a trip to Joshua Tree, but Denisse Benitez of Chasing Denisse, made magic happen right where I was staying!
Have you ever been to a music festival? I’ve been to Boston Calling. What are your festival plans for this year?
Before I recap my second (and much more gratifying) NYFW experience, I wanted to share about one of my favorite parts of Fashion Week.
Street style.
I will also be sharing my own outfits from NYFW, but that will just be in a later blog post.
While this time around, my overall experience was about 1000x better, I still didn’t delve into NYFW as much as I could have. That’s not a bad thing, though! What I did do felt surreal in the best way. But more on that in another later post.
Scout the City
I saw enough outfit inspiration while at NYFW to make Andrew worried I would want an entire new wardrobe.
However, when Sai De Silva walked by us and was inevitably stopped by street style photographers for photos, something came over me and I sprung into action. Snatching my camera from a very confused Andrew (who had been taking photos of me) snapping photos like my blog depended on it!
prêt-à-provost
Sai wasn’t the only blogger I crossed paths with at NYFW. Very similarly, I witnessed photographers clicking away camera directed at Allie Provost and her beautiful Kate Spade ensemble.
I’ve followed Allie of prêt-à-provost on Instagram for so long, that I felt like I knew her and asked to take a photo with her. She is super sweet and of course she obliged, resulting in a photo that I absolutely love!
For all the other fashion obsessed out there, what is your favorite part of NYFW?
Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links. I’ve partnered with Sperry to show you how I style their shoes, and do prep, my way.
Summer is without a doubt my absolute favorite season. Give me longer days, warmer nights, and road trips to the beach. Living in New England, I tend to find myself wearing sneakers to the beach more often than not. Sperry is more than just your classic boat shoes, they also have sneakers. Be it for the beach or to brunch, they’ve got tons of options to style as you please.
Since I often wear jeans, sneakers have quickly become my go-to weekend shoe choice. But really, grabbing my Sperry Crest Vibe sneakers is always a great option no matter what I’m wearing!
With the unofficial start of summer, and me having zero chill, I’ve already worn my sneakers more times than I care to share. This weekend I have a wedding, and if I could get away with it, I would totally wear them instead.
Are you judging me or would you wear these sneakers everywhere too?
A while back, I was nominated for a Liebster Award by Michelle Nguyen ofMidwest Beauty on a Budget, a blogger with impeccable style. We met in a beauty + fashion group on Facebook, and I have been envious of her wardrobe ever since! Sorry, Michelle, I totally dropped the ball on that one…
I was given the chance to redeem myself thanks to my obsession with Instagram, where Liv found me! Liv is the voice behind Unbelievably Human + my BBFF. Her energy is undeniably contagious and there are SO many times she says something and I’m like, “YASSS!” or “Get out of my head!” (And yes, I had to spell it that way, because it is THAT serious.)
Thank you Liv, for being my BBFF, and also for giving me the chance to be a part of this blog tour!
What are you working on?
Currently, I am working on a style post that’s totally different then the ones I’ve been doing. I don’t want to give too much away, but it was inspired by People StyleWatch.
Aside from that, a giveaway, and a couple of other ideas, I am really just trying to focus on posting more often.
How does my work differ from other of its type/genre?
In a lot of ways what I do is very similar to others with similar blogs. BUT, I like to think that I’m more fun. I try to be informative + real, while giving you a little bit more of my cornball personality.
Why do I write/create what I do?
In all honest, because I needed a hobby that would last longer than a day. I mean, I have an English degree that I wasn’t really using, and in my book, this counts!
I really enjoy blogging. I allows to me tell people about things I care about. I know that the people that care about the same things can read it and the ones who don’t care, don’t have to. This is not always the case irl. When I talk, you listen. You don’t have a choice. When I’m passionate, I get LOUD.
How does your writing process work?
I’d love to be like, oh my process is A, B, C…but it’s not. I write about what excites me. New makeup, clothes, a fun date night. I try to plan ahead as best I can, but really my best blog posts are when I share what I am currently experiencing. I’ve also become aware of the fact that I am very easily inspired so when I do plan I come up with like five bazillion ideas, some good, other not so much…
Next up on the blog tour:
Christa of Beatrice Clay| I know I bring up Alt Summit quite a bit, but it is because I came away with so much for the experience. Including new friends. One friend in particular, Christa, was one of those people you meet and just know that you met them for a reason. She is so inspirational in a way that I can’t even begin to explain. One look at her blog and you’ll understand! Need a hug? Her Hump Day Hugs are simply the best!
