American Apparel crop top and bow, Forever 21 shorts and wedges

This is my ideal summer outfit.. a breezy, loose crop top, flowy floral print shorts, and a bright red bow in my hair. Though I haven't had a summer full of beach days and laying by the pool, wearing crop tops and shorts helps me convince myself I'm on vacation.

How To: Dress For a Job Interview.

One of the questions I get asked frequently is what to wear to a job interview. While what matters most is what you say and what is on your resume, how you dress matters more than you'd think. Here are some helpful tips:

1. Pick a classic- Blazers are a must for all interviews. They are fashionable, chic, clean-cut, and professional. This is an item that every girl (and boy) should have in their closet.

2. Pick one trend- Show that you know this season's trends. Whether it be decorative prints, socks, or a nice shade of lipstick,  be sure you don't over-do it because that may look like you're trying too hard. Instead, pair them with timeless pieces such as a solid tube skirt or trousers.

3. No logos- Try to stay away from logos. Yes it's important to know designers, but flashing them all over may seem as though you're showing off. Keep it simple.

4. Wear something vintage- Going to an interview does not require you to wear all new pieces. There are great classic vintage pieces that you can find that will show you really know how to find gems in the rough.

5. What to avoid- Avoid anything that is too tight or short, or reveals too much cleavage. Clothing that is costume-y or flashy, pantyhose, or anything that can be seen as too casual is a no-go. Though sweat pants are in this season, they are not interview appropriate. Just stick with classics and a few in-season trends and you're good to go.

Classic Colors [Fall].

Whether we like it or not, September is only a month away. For me, this is great news I'm so anxious for fall that I'm already shopping and filling my closet with the season's colors in mind, of course. I love fall colors best and this year, a few classic colors return and Nasty Gal is all over it.

1. Camel- The ideal fall color. If you don't already have nudes, khakis and beiges, now's the time to stock up. A classic color that never fails to make a return.

2. Olive- One of my favorites and another fabulous fall color, olive is in this season. Building on the military trend, all shades of greens and browns are making an impact.

3. Red- Whether you choose to accessorize with a splash of red or go all out with a dashing red coat, you can never go wrong with this color.

4. Stripes- A trend for quite some time, it looks as though stripes are carrying over into fall and to be quite honest, I couldn't be happier.

Flea Markets.

Out and about before the sun came out, my good friend Taryn and I set out in hopes of some fabulous flea market shopping. Our hopes were soon crushed when we found that the flea market was closed today. Though our morning plans didn't go as we had imagined, we managed to make the best of our early hours by filling them with shopping and coffee.. two of my favorite things.

Je t'aime.

I've been saving every little dime I make for my trip to London next summer and I am so anxious for numerous reasons! I'm going there to study fashion and nothing could make me happier. I don't do a lot of traveling and my fear of flying in an airplane continues to haunt me. But I just remind myself that it's going to be so worth it! I know some of my followers are from London and to see your pictures everyday makes me so impatient! If you could go anywhere in the world to study fashion where would you go?

Summer Scarves.

Whoever said scarves can't be worn in the summer clearly did not know what they were talking about. A light-weight scarf is the perfect addition to a summer outfit and can also easily be tucked into a purse for those chilly nights. I love that this scarf has the worn-in feel but looks as though it's never been touched. Try adding a pastel or floral print scarf to your wardrobe this summer!

I added a style service's tab to the top of my page. If you're interested, contact me!

Dress to Impress.

Environ Ment dress, Urban Outfitters sandals, vintage bangles

One of the hardest questions to answer is how to look cute in the scorching summer heat. Lightweight tanks and barely there shorts seem to be my go-to items, but even those just don't keep me cool enough. I've come to the conclusion that flowy summer dresses are the winners. It's been difficult to find thrifted dresses because of my summer challenge, but I managed to find this cozy dress and a few others a couple days ago. Dresses are definitely a summer must have!

Red Hot.

So sorry for my leave of absence from this for the past week. Life's been crazy busy (in a great way) and this unfortunately comes last.

I've always found red to be a fascinating color to accessorize with and when I see it used in an editorial, I find it all the more fascinating. There's something about red that makes me feel confident, and all I need is a small splash to do the job. What color makes you feel most confident?

Foam.

The Very Fabulous Emma Roberts.

I was recently introduced to Foam Magazine and knew instantly that it was love at first sight. This premier female publication is dedicated to its positive influence on fashion, art and music... the three things I love most. Emma Roberts is on the cover of the latest issue and her grunge inspired spread is "very fabulous" to say the least. Grunge has always been one of my favorite styles, yet I can't seem to pull it off well enough. Instead, I enjoy envying those who can... and Emma Roberts, she definitely can.

Sweet Tooth.

My summer challenge to not buy anything new is becoming more of a challenge than I had expected. The other day, I went shopping with a friend and I felt as if I was torturing myself by walking into Forever 21 and not buying anything. But I managed to stay strong. Now I need to do some thrift shopping to satisfy my shopaholic sweet tooth. Wish me luck!

Beige Beauty.

Cream color blazers are a must for this season and there's no better place to find them than a thrift store. In fact, I found this beige beauty at a thrift store for $2 a few months ago and it's become the perfect blazer for those chilly summer nights. It has the light color of summer but the warmth of winter. If you have yet to find yourself a beige blazer, I suggest you do so.. pronto!

Tip Jar.

I've never been a fan of wearing jeans, if you haven't noticed. I find them quite uncomfortable and do everything I can to avoid wearing them. But what I've come to discover is that all it takes is finding the right pair of jeans. Though I still don't wear them much, this pair of jeans has become a fave of mine. I love how versatile they are and that they work great for everyday lounging as well as going out.
Here are 10 tips to finding your perfect pair of jeans:


1. skinny jeans help elongate short legs..add heels and your legs will look even longer!


2. boot cut jeans are a great fit for everyone


3. if they're too tight, don't buy them


3. try different brands, don't give up after trying one


4. if you're curvy, find jeans that sit higher up on your hips to help accentuate your curves


5. high waisted jeans are fun and flattering


6. darker washes are more versatile and can be both dressed up or down

7. wash jeans inside out to keep them in prime condition


8. don't be afraid to alter a pair of jeans to fit you better

9. many brands offer a variety of styles for everyone's body type

10. invest in a good pair that fit well... the good quality is worth the price
