WHILE IN JERSEY

HIPSTER

Wearing- top: American Apparel / pant: vintage / flats: Zara / necklace: Bijuju / sunnies + bag: Grey Dog

This wide leg pant is one of my absolute favorite items to throw on when I don't feel like fussing around in my closet. I got them at this cute little consignment shop when on vacation in Fort Lauderdale last September. Not only are they super easy but I can wear them fall through summer no problem, which is kind of a big deal! I also really like that I can throw them on with a crop top for a casual look or with a dress shirt + blazer for work, interviews, etc. They are just everything! Do you all have any items that you keep going back to? xx

DAY TO NIGHT

DAY TO NIGHT by alexiamickens 

I am currently on a staycation at the beautiful Lansdowne Resort in Virginia on a unity retreat with my church family! Last night after our first session I plunged into the bed + stumbled onto the polyvore site for the first time and was instantly hooked. I saw this cute little Madewell dress + thought it would be perfect for a day like today when early errands can turn into a date night or drinks with the gals. All you need is a change of accessories; from a fedora, fun sunnies + flats to a snakeskin clutch + caged pumps! xx

SUMMER DENIM

Wearing- denim: Buffalo Exchange / dress and shoes: Urban Outfitters / sunnies: ZeroUV / bag: old

I've been on a search for years for the perfect denim jackets. I was so happy early spring when I found this one tucked between a few fall jackets at Buffalo Exchange. It's gotten a little too hot to wear at home but with the breeze off the ocean at the beach it was kinda perfect + necessary for the rainy days I spent ducking in and out of little shops + restaurants. 

ALIEN IN SOUTH CAROLINA

Wearing-  sunnies: ZeroUV  / dress: Urban Outfitters / flats: Zara / bag: old / denim: thrift

I love these sunglasses but they make me look like an alien. Especially with my hair do. I love this little dress. The last time I wore it was on Valentines Day to dinner with my beau. I accidentally put it in the dyer, shrinking it so now I have to wear a pair of short under it just in case the wind blows or something.

These pictures were taken after breakfast a cute little pancake house in Myrtle Beach. I wish I could go back there! I'm ready to ditch work + school for another consecutive 7 days! xx

HAND ME DOWNS

I never realized how much I wear dresses. They are just so easy especially with this heat wave!

I got these amazing vintage cowboy boots from my aunt who got them from her father (my grand-pop). They were knee-high + I cut them to the ankles!

Wearing: Grey Dog sunnies / Nasty Gal tunic / vintage cowboy boots / hand me down bag

I wore this outfit a couple weeks ago to run errands for my family vacation to South Carolina. The dress was so comfy that I decided to wear it on the road. The second to last picture was taken when we stopped at Cracker Barrel just an hour outside of Myrtle Beach. Every time I visit it reminds me of when me, my sister and cousin used to go with my grandparents! Those were + are still are some of the best times of my life. xx

TA LULA

Wearing- thrift vest here / Chicwish skirt similar and similar / Zara heels / Grey Dog sunnies

So there's nothing like a pair of pointed toes heels + a tulle skirt to make you feel all girly. This is not a practical outfit for my daily life. Most morning I'm reaching for the first dress I see in my closet and a comfy pair of flats + dashing to the door for my grueling commute to work or school. Yikes, I know I'm back in school + this quarter is gonna be a toughy but in light of my new workload I intend to be more consistent with my blog + etsy store updates. My goal is to be posting at least 3x a week + adding new merchandise to Allie Tutu at least 2x a month. I'm going to do it, no excuses! Do you guys have any goals for this month? xx
