Recently, my mom and I sauntered into Macys in search of a dress for an event she and my dad were going to attend. Usually, I just walk around in the Teen Department, drool over the shoes, and sniff the perfumes. But this time, I walked around with her and helped her look, and I ended up wandering to where the fancy stuff was. Thats when I discovered a new love of mine. S-U-I-T-S. Pant suits, skirt suits, dress suits, short suits. All suits! No, NOT the usual black or brown. The ones I saw were BEAUTIFUL. Pinks and teals and yellows and peaches! Gorgeous patterns, perfect cuts, playful looks! I made a little connection to Elle Woods too! Suits had never looked so fun, and I wondered why Id never looked at them before! I was a little overwhelmed by it all, but now I can say I truly love fun suits! Colorfull ones! Because when I THINK about going to work, to a meeting, or somewhere in a REALLY pretty pink ensemble, work doesnt sound too bad to me! Besides, there's nothing wrong with having a little fun while growing up!
So lovely readers, in this post I'll share with you some of the types of suits I saw! Enjoy, and leave a comment if you please!
First up are the girly suits. I think we all recognize the world's favorite lawyer Elle Woods, and her pretty pink dress or skit suits! I love the little hat that she wore with it too! I saw some absolutely gorgeous girly suits, which came in different shades of pretty colors! Pinks, blues, teals. I really liked them! The all-pink suits were my favorite! I saw mostly tweed versions, and they were just REALLY lovely! I really love the idea of pairing these suits with flats, but pumps could work too!
Next, I saw a few abstract suits too! There wasnt an exact word in mind for them, so I came up with abstract! With semi-long jackets, and then pencil skirts or dress pants. I think they're kinda heavy, so they'd be something to wear more in the winter time. With that said, I still saw a few with regular length suit jackets! Cant go wrong with a gorgeous black&gray&white color block jacket with triangle buttons! I thought of platform heels when I saw these suits.
I REALLY loved the classic suits! The ones I saw the most were plaid or navy or red, and they were gorgeous! Very soft jackets, gorgeous round buttons, just SIMPLICITY at its best! I think they're suits for when you WANT to make a statement, but you KNOW you may have to tone it down. I really liked the plaid ones best, with black skirts or black dress pants. I would LOVE to see classic suits paired with loafers! But I guess it depends on the look as a whole, but I DID see some loafer-style heels!
Last but not least, I saw really pretty PLAYFUL suits too! Gorgeous ruffle elements, paired with a simple skirt, or knee length shorts/pants. I think these are DEFINITELY more my style, but I really loved them best in color! I saw tons in teal, blue, and orange! Sincle ruffles are REALLY much more fun, I think pairing these suits with fun shoes would work very well! Kick boring out, keep fun in!
I absolutely LOVED seeing all the suits, and even though i have a few years to go, they definitely sparked a new though about office style in my head!

Home Is Where The Heart Is
Recently, ive begun to get REALLY into home decor and just interior design in general! So here's a post showing two interior designs ive come up with and put together, and the inspiration behind them! It'd be SO awesome if I went into interior design, and I definitely would love it! Enjoy!
For this one, I decided to create a bedroom. I think I really wanted to go for a rustic-ish and urban look, yet still retain some very soft qualities! I really love the simplicity of the bed, the cool designs on the chair, and the pattern of the cushion! I think those three and the light letter E really inspired the whole design all together. And also the Iron Z, which is a table accent. Oh and, I absolutely love the iron coffee table! How cool is that?! The street lamp may be for outside your house, but I think it'd be lovely to put it inside! 1 on each side of the bed, that would definitely be nice! Id like to this this room would be in an amazing apartment somewhere in SoHo.
I absolutely LOVE beach houses, adding onto the fact that I LOVE the beach and the ocean! For the second house, I also styled a bedroom but most of the elements COULD/WOULD be taken over into other rooms as well. I think the main reason I did bedrooms for both was because I would LOVE to re-do my room, and if I ever get to it, I want something to look at for more inspiration! I really would LIKE a room thats beachy-breezy but still really classic and cool. This room is definitely a little breath of fresh air, because the COLOR SCHEME is mostly vibrant! There's yellows, there's blues, there's teals, and creams! Its all in there! I definitely drew some inspiration from the beach and the ocean, which is why I went for white/cream furniture and then bright/pretty colors to accent that. Even though I tried to focus more on the beach scene, I DID want a little artsy-ness in there, hence the pretty chandeliers and the gorgeous pillow! Id like to think this room would be in a gorgeous beach house in Huntington Beach.
I hope you guys liked this post! It was SO much fun for me to do! One of my favorite home decor blogs is called Sacramento Street, so ya'll should check it out! Which room did you like best from above?

Its Never Too Early
Hi everyone! So basically my main goal this summer to post up lots of outfit posts, and im glad to say that im definitely keeping up with that! Today I wanted to wear something simple, yet cute, but definitely breezy. Im wearing my favorite bleached shorts, and some really cute VS flats ive had for a little while. They're so playful, and so cute! Definitely a little Cinderella-ish. Enjoy!

Band of Outsiders
One thing that I've never lost throughout blogging and aging (i'm hitting the big ones) is my LOVE and ADORATION for Free People! For some reason, their catalogs randomly stopped getting delivered to my house....... of course i re-signed up my address, but going through a Free People-less period for me was basically going through a time without my main source of inspiration.
Free People's catalogs always have these beautiful ensembles, and they come out perfectly! Its this effortless cool, and I think really thats a lot of people's biggest fashion goal. To become cool, without looking like you're trying too hard. So here are a few images from some of their recent catalogs, and I hope they inspire you too! (Just you watch, i'll be working for them one day!)
