Daisy











Top: Nordstrom Rack (borrowed from my younger sister) | Skirt: H&M | Shoes: DSW | Necklace: Urban Outfitters

Black and white outfits with pops of color are definitely a staple outfit formula for me. The combinations are endless. 

I'm usually not one to wear yellow but I saw this textured skirt at H&M and knew it had to happen. It just screams happiness and it makes me feel like a daisy. 

I had a special spring in my step as I bounced from place to place in this 'fit. I even had a woman at the fabric store tell me I looked like a life-size Barbie doll!

Since I was feeling especially playful this day (I credit the power of the skirt), I decided to try something different with my hair outside of my usual top bun or long braid. So when one bun isn't enough, why not try three!?

It's safe to say I had a lot of fun with this one. 
Until next time!

A Modern Belle Loves: Matching Set




Draya in Preme Houston





Solange in Diane von Furstenburg



Matching sets have become a huge trend over the past year and I have been here for it since day one! They just make life so much easier and take away some of the stress of trying to put together that flawless outfit. In ode to my love for the look, I put together some swoon-worthy matching sets that are giving me some serious inspiration.

Royal








Turban (Scarf): Street Market | Dress: Zara | Shoes: Zara

This outfit had me feeling AMAZING! I wore this back in February when I performed at a V-Day cafe and I'm glad I'm finally getting around to sharing it.


Peep the turban game though? Turbans will always be fashion heroes in my book. They're my best friend when my hair decides to do it's own thing (like it did this night).

Long Time No Post

I completely fell off from blogging.

For lack of a better term, I was "sick" from January until the beginning of April. (The last thing you want to be as a second semester college senior.) I dealt with crippling joint pains which, on bad days, left me virtually unable to walk but a few feet and, on good days, allowed me to shuffle around on crutches. It was rough but guess what? I'm back and better than ever, with a greater appreciation for the things that are often taken for granted......like walking, putting on pants, not carrying my Starbucks in my shirt pocket, and of course, being able to wear heels! 

I'm excited to get back to blogging, sharing my passion and trying out some new ideas!
