Style Icon: Vanessa Hudgens


The second I came across this picture on tumblr of Vanessa Hudgens at the Teen Choice Awards '09, I fell in love with her dress. The royal purple Christian Dior piece looks stunning on her. Of course, everything she wears does...but paired with the loose waves and smoky eyes, this look stands out. Now if only I could find a spitting image of this dress for like, a third of the price. Not likely.

swooning for these summer essentials


1. To me, nothing says 'Summer' like classic stripes on a tailored blazer. In a navy color paired with denim cut-offs, an outfit with this piece has the perfect hint of the nautical trend.
2. For a more sweet and feminine look, lace is perfect. And when you make a pair of shorts of the fabric in a blush color, they make their way straight to number one on my list. I'd definitely add some gold jewelry and a simple top to make these adorable shorts into an ideal date outfit.
3. I've purchased plenty of Sperry's...as gifts for my father. However, it seems like lately the brand has gotten even more popular and stylish with their women's selection. Although I would wear the original pair as well, this gold metallic style is a tad more girly, and incredibly cute. Bonus: they are SO comfy!
4. When it comes to the clothes I regularly wear, black overwhelms a majority of my closet. I enjoy edgier pieces, and this bag would fit in perfectly with my wardrobe. The studs and leather give it a tough vibe, which I love, and the long strap allows it to be messenger style. This is perfect for back-to-school, which is what I plan to use it for if I finally decide to purchase it!
5. Something about nude wedges keeps me searching through the endless styles online for hours. The wedge style makes it comfortable enough to wear throughout the day, and the nude color makes legs appear even longer. My particularly favorite style is strappy, like this adorable pair above.

What are your summer essentials? Please, leave comments; I'd love to know what makes your list!

First post down...

For whoever is reading, if anyone is reading...

First off, thank you for taking the time to read this at all, haha.

I just wanted to start a blog where I can post about mostly fashion related topics- what trends I love, clothing items I'm dying to snatch, and hopefully, outfits of the day.

It may certainly take some time but I hope to eventually post every single day about things that girls of any age would be interested in seeing and reading.

So, with that said, welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy what's to come!
