Casual Monday

 Even though I am always wearing a dress here 99% of the time, I love wearing jeans. But not the typical skinny jeans that may look cute but they are so uncomfortable to wear. I love a good fit of jeans (maybe even high waisted) that look so flattering but have the same level of comfort as a dress! So today, I am introducing to you jeans from Loft which if you don't already own a pair, run to their website and find a good pair of jeans (on their sale tab of course ;) ).  And who doesn't like a little bit of decoration on their jeans, like this paint splatter detail?!

Back to School!

                                                     

 Where did summer break go! Even though this summer was far from normal, I can't believe how fast it went by and that school starts today! I am beginning my senior year from college and all the emotions are going through my head. To top it all off, everything will be online and I know this transition will be hard since we are so used to have traditional classes. So, I have rounded 5 tips that have helped me in this transition and I hope they help you as well! 

1) Get a Planner! I know everyone says this but it is truly so important to have a space dedicated to writing down all of your tasks. School is already overwhelming as it is and you probably have 100 and one things running through your mind, so why not take a little bit of these things and just write them down to make sure you do not forget! I am usually drawn to really cute planners and I feel like when I do have a cute planners, it helps me keep motivated in writing things down! 

                                                      

2) Develop a Routine! Before, you knew you had to wake up at least an hour before your class, get ready go to class, then to another one and another one and then you had a break and so on. Now, you can literally wake up 10 minutes before class and just turn on your computer and you'll be set to go. However, this is not a good thing to follow since you might get a little "lazy." I would suggest to follow the same routine as you would pre-covid to make sure you are the most productive!

3) Organization! Last semester, when my school went fully online, I found myself working from my bed and that was not good. There were papers all over the place and I knew I would loose something important one day. Make sure you have a space that is just for your school work, either a desk or a table or even a room in your house. 

4) Reward yourself! If you manage to study or finish an assignment without distractions, reward yourself either by grabbing a snack or taking a break! You deserve it! I usually find it helpful setting up timers when I start an assignment so I know not to get distracted and finish in time. 

5) Be kind to yourself! These times are very stressful so don't feel bad if you are not on top of everything! You are doing the best that you can and that's all that matters. Remember that you and your health comes first and nothing is more important than you!

Romper Season pt.2

Based on my last post from a couple of weeks ago, I love rompers!! They're such a staple piece in your closet and I love the fact that you don't have to worry about choosing a top for your pants or vice versa! They're easy, fun and so versatile! This navy green romper is one of my favorites because it is such a great summer to fall transition piece! I might even try wearing it with maybe riding boots? I'll keep you all posted! I've also rounded up my favorite rompers from different stores. Enjoy!

On the Bright Side...

Happy Wednesday! I know I haven't had an honest talk here for a while and I just felt like it was time to! Lately, I've been in a weird funk because everything is just so uncertain and this year has not be a "typical" year to say the least. Summer is almost over and looking back, I didn't have any memorable moments or created new memories or anything in that sort and to be honest, it is sad. But there's always a bright side to everything, and sometimes you just need to look really hard to find it! So today I will be sharing some "on the bright side" statements that serve as a reminder to always be thankful even for the small things. So to get started, on the bright side, we are healthy! Health is something that we take for granted but specifically this year, I think we have all learned to appreciate our health. On the bright side, I have this creative outlet where I can share and express all of my feelings and connect with amazing people every day. On the bright side, I am with my loving family during these hard times. On the bright side, it could be worse. We can't let all of those negative thoughts fill our life because it will overpower it and then it will be hard to get out of that "funk." So today, Wednesday, middle of the week, I encourage you all to write down your own "on the bright side" statements and I guarantee you it will make you feel 10000000% better.

Summer Black Dress

Dress (similars below) | Shoes | Necklaces | Earrings 

If you all have seen my other posts, you all know how much I love dresses, specifically dresses with bright colors! However, I believe we all need that classic black dress in our closets for every season. And this one is perfect for summer! The length hits right above the knee and the ruffle off the shoulder is just too cute! Another great thing about this dress, it has pockets!! The simplicity of this dress is the best thing in my opinion. I paired this dress with my favorite espadrilles but it is so easy to dress up or down by changing into some pretty sandals or even sneakers! 

 

I have rounded up six of my favorite summer black dresses below as well! I hope you enjoy.
