FRENCH BISOUS

Wednesday, January 27, 2016

This has got to be my favorite winter yet! It didn't start getting cold or snowing until January and even now its pretty sunny here and we barely have any snow. Unfortunately, I didn't get a visit from any Jonas. On Tuesday it was pretty warm out so I decided to wear a dress!

I got this dress for $9 at Forever 21 along with a free tee during their BOGO free sale!

This dress is great quality for Forever 21. The fabric is very thick and so comfy!

It's the perfect staple item to dress up or down, I can't wait to wear it this spring.

I paired it with some charcoal tights and my over-the-knee boots.

I also threw my hair up in my fave hair-do, the half up pony with a scrunchie!

Shoutout to my roommate who took these fab photos for me!

FIRST DAY RECAP & DORM TOUR!

Wednesday, January 20, 2016

Happy first day of classes for the semester to me!

I only had 2 classes today and was done by noon so that was really nice. I then went to my campus' Starbucks of course and got to see my lovely barista ladies, that just made my day!

Then I had to spend over an hour searching for a new elective to take that wasn't in my major and didn't require any previous class, so that was a ball of fun (sarcasm...)

The rest of the day was back and forth walking across campus to go to a meeting and picking up/buying my text books. Now finally, I can relax & chill in my cozy bed and sweatpants!

Here are some pics of my ootd...including the Brandy Melville shirt you've all seen before, some new PINK leggings, and my Sperry Duck Boots!

& bundling up for the cold!

My big puffy jacket is North Face & my fave blanket scarf is sold out from Hollister (they have other colors available online!)

Now time for a look at my dorm room!

This is my pretty little corner, with all of my favorite things, that I'm in love with!

This is the cutest painting that my 6 year old cousin made for me, hanging right over my bed!

Here is the view from my bed, it's nice because the snow is pretty (when I'm not outside in it) and I love to people watch. Im also right next to a dining hall!

& here is the "living" area of my common room. We also have a bathroom and a little kitchen area with our fridges, microwave, coffee makers, and table!

I hope you enjoyed this recap of my day & a little look into my college life!

Good luck to everyone starting classes this week!

& if you need some inspiration,

FAVORITE GOLDEN GLOBES LOOKS

Monday, January 11, 2016

I'm currently watching the E-News red carpet live taping and constantly refreshing twitter for new pics of stars on the red carpet. I have gathered up my top 10 favorite looks of the night and am going to share all of them with you!

#1. Kate Hudson

I love Kate Hudson, she is always killin it on the red carpet and always just naturally stunning.

I love the metallic pink/rose gold set, especially with the crop top & choker. I feel like this look is almost bringing back the 90's style just a bit!

#2. Lily James

Lily is gorgeous and this dress is truly angelic!

I love the tulle & shape of it all.

#3. Chrstina Milian

This is actually from one of the pre-parties but I'm obsessed with it! It is so chic, I love the gold pants/skort style with the boxy white crop top. Chrstina is so beautiful!

#4. Zendaya

Zendaya is always one of my faves to watch at award shows. Her style is amazing and she's always surprising people. This dress is so elegant & classy with the color and I'm loving the layered poofs!

#5. Jane Fonda

I love this classy & sassy dress! I love white and the ruffles are just so fun. I'm also loving the simple white heels and how beautiful Jane looks in this look!

#6. Jennifer Lopez

I wasn't sure about the color when I first saw it but now I love it and how it looks with the dark red lip! J Lo is so fabulous & sleek always. She just has this glow thats so beautiful. I also love the shoes & cape!

#7. Malin Akerman

I love all the sparkle in this! The slim fit with the flawy peplum is so cute. All the details are just elegant and beautiful!

#8. Jenna Tatum

Navy & gold is one of my favorite combinations and this dress is so gorgeous! I love the deep v-neck & all the detailing.

#9. Amy Schumer

This dress and Amy's look all together is so simple & beautiful.

The angle & cut of the skirt is so fun and the colors are classy, I just love it all!

#10. Melissa Benoist

This was actually the first look I saw and I immediately just thought, "wow, this is so cute, girly & simple." I love the little details, the dainty shoes, and her natural, beautiful hair!
