Mammal Factory

Necklace: Urban Outfitters | Top: Zara 

Skort: Topshop | Shoes: Converse

This Saturday I went to an AMAZING young artist event in downtown Atlanta at The Mammal Factory, hosted by GOD2ATL (Gaining Our Definition). With artwork coating the walls, live performances, good vibes and an eclectic crowd, this was an artistic utopia! 

I love being in creative spaces around equally creative people, it's so invigorating and inspiring!

I wanted to put together an outfit that gave off a fresh vibe to match the event. Since my skort masterfully mixes comfort and style, it was the perfect pick for the night. Pairing it with a simple black crop top and white Chucks dressed it down, while still managing to give the right amount of casual edge.

That New New

I am a self-proclaimed Zara addict. I get beyond excited every time their semi-annual sales happen. 

It's like Christmas in July! 

I had been stalking these pink pumps for months. I'm a huge fan of the T-strap and rounded heel, so when I saw them on sale AND one final pair left in my size, it was clearly a sign. Since, it would have been a bad idea to ignore such an obvious sign, I knew they were destined to come home with me. 

The trousers were a magical find for me. I'm on a seemingly never-ending hunt for cropped trousers that aren't too short and fit my waist and thighs. These floral ones are it! They're lightweight and perfect for summer (plus they match perfectly with the pumps). 

On top of the Zara sale, I discovered that another favorite store of mine, Nordstrom Rack, was also having a big summer sale. 

Your girl was was in fashion heaven!

The lace skirt fits like a glove! It's that perfect mix of lady-like appeal and playfulness with the sheer lace bottom. Plus I can wear it with the pink pumps (It should be clear I was supposed to have these shoes at this point). 

I was especially excited about this emerald green Topshop skort. For one, the color? Gorgeous. Two? As a child of the 90s, I appreciate a good skort. I get to look like I'm wearing a skirt without the worry of having a serious wardrobe malfunction (i.e. unintentionally flashing someone). 

'Tis all for now my dears. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by!

Less Is More

Necklace: Vintage / Top: Primark / Trousers: Goodwill / Shoes: Manolo Blahnik   

I love simple outfits that still manage to make a punch.

As I've grown, the 'Less Is More' mentality has become a cornerstone to my personal style.

That's definitely what I was going for here and I have to say I felt fabulous.

I got the chance to spend 5 days in Paris a few weeks back and 

one thing I absolutely loved about the city (the list is endless honestly) was the street art everywhere.

So I figured, "Why not snap some outfit pics in front of some?"

This was my travel outfit for the first day and was super comfortable but still made me feel chic enough for Parisian streets.

A lot of the pieces came from H&M, which I don't usually don't frequent often in the states but the selection in UK stores is so much more appealing to me here than back in the states.

À bientôt! 

(See You Soon!)

Taking It Easy

Booties: H&M (featured in my fall finds!) | Sunglasses: Old Spittafields Market

I'm back! It's been way longer than anticipated for me to make another post. 

Finals and traveling (Paris to be exact ^_^) got me a tad sidetracked but I'm refocused and ready to go. 

I wore this outfit when my friend and I randomly decided to go exploring around London. 

It was a wonderful day, the weather was perfect and we made some awesome discoveries. 

Personal note: One thing you should know about me is that I absolutely love lions. They're quiet yet so powerful.

When I came across this bad boy at Camden Market I just had to get a picture. 

Until next time!

In Plain Sight

I know I said my last post would be my final (and only) summer outfit but I couldn't help myself. 

 I really enjoyed wearing this outfit for a girls' day out with my younger sister. 

It was perfect for dealing with the southern heat.

Shoes: Converse / Purse: Charity Yard Sale / Necklace: Mom's / Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters

Alright, I promise I am now saying farewell to summer.

 I hope you guys are ready to embrace that autumn chill.....fashionably of course.

I know I am.
