Trenches and Knee High Boots For The Win

It's finally getting cold around Atlanta, so I'm posting a quick OOTD to keep everyone happy!

10 Items Your F/W15 Wardrobe Can't Live Without

It was this time last year when I was doing my F/W Things To Love Series, so I wanted to do a bit of an update, and in case you want to read last year's feature, click here for the entire week-long series! Fall and winter are quickly approaching with the end of the summer sadly, so it's a fabulous idea to go ahead and grab those F/W pieces that will be sure to make your wardrobe rock this season!

Everything's All Skorted

When skorts made a comeback this season, the first thing I thought of was the terrible skorts I wear for school. Khaki, kneelenght, forever wrinkled skorts. I was happy to find out that the the skorts that would be taking over the fashion scene this year are nothing like that. They are fun, colorful, printed, and ever changing, which is great for someone like me, who has a different idea on what to wear every day! 

New (Shoe) Bits: Topshop Kapa Boots

I came across these shoes during the Topshop summer sale and I bought them immediately. Like no hesitation whatsoever. They were the last ones in my size, and I did what most rational sale shoppers do. I bought the shoes! 

Topshop Acid Floral Dress

Ahh France I miss you!! I absolutely love it there and I can't wait to go back!! Rouen was so gorgeous and the weather was great,on top of the great time I'd had travelling! I wore this amazing Topshop cutout floral dress, and I love how the cutouts hit and how it hugs my body and how it looks!

End of Summer Accessories Roundup

Summer is nothing without the accessories, and since it's the end of the summer, I've put together a post of accessories that have gotten me through the summer!

Flash Much?

Dim lighting calls for extreme circumstances, and in these photos....a little flash was needed. These were taken RIGHT after I got my Rebel, so I didn't know how to explain the new flash to my friend...With a teensy bit of light editing, I think they turned out alright for a first time!! 

#Throwback Thursday to Pretending to be French

With all of this World Cup madness, I've been feeling epically nostalgic, so I'm writing up another post about France for you all!

Life in Lyon - France Travel Diary Entry #2

When we went to Lyon during part of our homestay, and my friend and I took the time to explore the city after doing some shopping!! Lyon had a huge Galeries Lafayette with all of the European stores that I wanted (and did) hit before I left the continent! We found a super stylish fountain that had no water and we had to take pictures by it!! This was the second to last time I wore these boots before they sadly broke, so I'm labelling this as a tribute to my boots...RIP my dears. 

#FlashbackFriday to France: Day 1

And LANDING!!! 

So finally I'm getting around to posting some of my photos and outfits from France, and there are videos coming for you all to enjoy!! I wanted to kick off my French Odyssey with my first full day outfit. I didn't want to disgrace the blog with my awful travel outfit, because at the end it just wasn't pretty!! But just in case you're wondering, I wore a Love is Apparel tank, Topshop leggings, Axxiom Slides (I know, I broke my own never-will-I-ever-rule!), and a school jacket. I also had a Nasty Gal sweater, but it stayed in my bag for the most part. There's pictures, and maybe if I'm brave I'll share them as a #tbt....maybe ;) 

But anyways, the day we arrived in Roanne, the town where we had our homestay, and the day after, we went to school. I've been out for a month so the idea of going to school again wasn't my favourite, but I didn't really mind once I was in the classroom. And these 6 years of French have paid off, and I got the gist of what most of the teachers were saying. In the pictures of day to day, there are going to be tons of pictures of me and my friends, since it'd be rude to cut them out. But anyways, on the first day I wore a Tildon drop hem dress (now sold out),  Franco Sarto mules (I knowww another rule broken), and an H&M cardigan (sold out). 

Youtube Takeover

So recently I have restarted my Youtube channel, and during the 3 weeks I spent in France, I posted videos for you all to enjoy. They are my first ones since I started back on Youtube, so some are a work in progress. 

One of the videos that I posted was a tag video, The Black Girl Tag. I've seen tons of people doing these videos, so I said why not and made one of my own. My voice was going out and I didn't speak very loud at parts, so the sound quality isn't the best. I think you can still hear me and my answers though! 

Topshop's Spider Floral Jumpsuit

My Super Summer Wishlist

Everyone's got a wishlist, and everyone's got a super summer wishlist!! I wanted to share the top 15 items that I'm going to try to get my hands on, or something similar, to revamp my summer '14 wardrobe!!

Bloggers Do It Better: Sneakers

Living Life to the Maxi

I saw this dress at Topshop last year, saw the price and immediately snatched it up! It was on same during one of the mega sales that Nordstrom has (one of which is going on right now), and that gave me the incentive to buy it! I was planning on wearing this to my cousin's wedding, because being the pre-planner I am, I planned a year early, but I was asked to help in the wedding! This dress has been in my closet and I've been dying to take it down and pop it on! The cutout is so lovely and it shows just enough skin, and the v neck isn't too deep that everything is hanging out! The fabric is super light, so I was able to stay cool in the Georgia heat while taking these pictures!!

Dress - Topshop (sold out)

Shoes - Ivanka Trump (on sale here)

Sunnies - Target (available here)

Trend Lowdown: High-Waisted Bikinis

Its summertime again, which means you're breaking out those bikinis again ladies!! But what if :

a) you aren't super comfortable with your body image (which you shouldn't be because every body is BEAUTIFUL, so cross this off your reasons why not to wear a bikini list. Anyone can wear one)

b) you don't like bikinis

c) your old one is old and worn, and its time for a new one

d) you just want a new bikini

e) you're having severe nostalgia back to the 1970's 

well you're in luck. High waisted bikinis are in style and ready to rock the beaches this year!!

Throwback Thursday - NYC

If you follow me on Instagram (and if you don't you are missing out, so click here and follow) then you know that a few weeks ago, I was in New York. I never got around to posting this outfit, but I got to visit my dream design school, FIT, while I was there, and this is what I wore! 

Atlantic Station & Ice Cream

 An outfit post? Its been too long hasn't it? I miss taking pictures of my outfits because the weather has been so horrid lately!! Its finally warming up in Atlanta, so stay tuned!!

On Saturday, I went out shopping with my friend for prom accessories because prom is this weekend!! I got everything I needed and I'm so happy with my choices!! We went to Atlantic Station, which is a fabulous kind-of-outdoor mall in Atlanta, and I couldn't resist taking pictures!
