Suited Up

(Thrifted skirt, belt  and jacket, American Apparel bodysuit, Madewell backpack, Jeffrey Campbell for Free People boots, Free People bra)

If there's one thing I haven't played around with much, it's bodysuits. We've been getting a ton of bodysuits at the store I decided that it was time to have some fun! It was oddly warm so decided to pair it with long flowy skirt that I found at Savers a couple years ago along with a belt that belonged to my Mom. I went for a light denim jacket and my favorite lace up boots to give a bit of a rougher finish. 

This leather backpack is another obsession but I'll save that for another post.

Nashville

First of all, Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great holiday season. Mine was wonderful, spent surrounded by family and friends. 

This year, I am planning on working on myself and deepening my relationships with others. The past year was all about growth and thinking about my future, 2016 will be all about new beginnings. I'm graduating from college this year and starting anew so this will surely be a big year for me!

My first order of business this year was to reconnect with an old friend of mine. My friend Oakley and I were very close and high school, but after graduation she moved back down south and while we've tried out best to keep in touch, there's nothing like being close distance-wise to keep the friendship alive. 

So a few weeks ago, John and I headed south to spend on quality time with our long-lost friend. We ate, drank, went sight-seeing, and   had a great time! The amazing thing about true friendship is that you can be away from each other for an extended period of time and be able to pick up right where you left off. That's exactly what we did.

Here are just some photos of all the fun we had! Thanks so much for having us, Oaks, it was so good to see you again! Next time you're coming up North.

Overall

Free People overalls, top (similar) and sunnies, Carlos by Carlos Santana boots (similar), and assorted bangles (similar) 

Weekends off call for comfy attire. I'm definitely the type of girl who loves to twirl around in a pretty dress and tall boots, but occasionally I'll opt for something a little more casual. But of course, I had to keep it girly with a flowy top and an armful of bangles

I've had my eye on these overalls since starting at Free People two years ago, but decided to finally bite the bullet and get them a few days ago. I couldn't be happier with them! The material is super stretchy and comfortable, I almost wore them all weekend!

Weekends off

It's been a long semester, but now it's finally over! I chose to celebrate with brunch and pottery painting with a good friend that I don't get to see nearly enough. 

We started out our day with some brunch at Lulu's a cute little spot just down the street from my apartment in Allston. The mimosas were amazing and the food was even better.

We spent our afternoon painting pottery at the Brookline Clay Room. If you're still at a loss for last minute holiday presents, I would really recommend this place! I made a mug for myself (featuring some very sassy succulents) as well as something for my boyfriend. 

It was a great way to spend my long-awaited Saturday off. 

With Love

To me, there is nothing that makes me feel more beautiful that a dress with flowy sleeves. Maybe it's my childhood love from princesses and fairytales, maybe I'm just a fan of sleeve getting got in the breeze. 

These were taken a few weeks ago, on an unseasonably warm November day. I put my boots back on in a hurry after we were done taking photos. I know that warm weather so late in the fall really isn't good for the environment, but I'm not complaining...
