gladiator galore

It's the summer of the gladiator sandal. 

This chic style is the perfect way to add dimension and detail to a simple summer look. With varying styles and heights to choose from anyone can try out this trend without feeling too outside your comfort zone. I can't wait to get my hands (or should I say feet) on one of these pairs. 

I've rounded up some of my favorite styles below!

summer workwear

This summer I am working part-time at a public relations group. I'm fortunate to work in an office space where the dress code is a sort of anything goes, and I have the freedom to wear breezy summer looks and bright colors! {keeping it modest of course}.

Below are some summer office looks that keep your workwear fresh and in season. Whether you're in a corporate office or a creative environment, these looks will keep you young and fun at work. While packing up in Atlanta last month, my mom and I were browsing the LOFT near campus. While there, I spotted some of these amazing pieces that were perfect for summer jobs and internships.

Enjoy!

brand obsession: Madewell

If you've been following "for the love of gab" for a while or just know me, then you would know the J. Crew is one of my all time favorite brands. J. Crew's classic yet trendy and overall sophisticated style is my ideal look. However, I've learned in the last few months that J. Crew is not always the most essential wardrobe pick for a college gal.

Enter Madewell.

J. Crew's sister brand, Madewell, is the perfect mixture of everyday trendy clothes with a more youthful flare that does not depart from the classic/clean style that I love. Honestly, I wish I could live in their tops, jeans, dress, shoes, bags {so basically everything they sell} oh did I mention the jewelry {swoon}.

Below, I rounded up my current favorite looks from Madewell.

{hopefully you get obsessed too!}

Cheers!

IT'S JUNE!

I honestly can't believe it's already summer break and almost half way through 2015! I vividly remember being in NYC over the holidays and ringing in the new year in Midtown. Now I'm halfway through college and almost a month into summer vacation! I'm looking forward to relaxing by the pool, reuniting with friends/spending time with fam, and blogging! 

I can't wait to see what the rest of 2015 holds!
