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!
Happy Awards Season!! Below are some of my favorite looks from Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards. Some of the biggest trends I saw last night were silver metallic looks along with beautiful blush/nude tones. Classic black is always a red carpet standout. I would have to say that last night's fashion was not a disappointment. Emma Stone's pants ensemble, YES. Hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey SLAYED it; their jokes were totally on the mark. There are just way too many beautiful looks to include on this post (newcomer Gina Rodriquez looked beautiful as well). But I would have to say that my best dressed last night would have to be Kate Hudson or Julianne Moore. Enjoy! PS. Eddie Redmayne, adorbs.

So if you haven't heard the AMAZING news by now, you've been living under a rock!
Tuesday night, Target announced their newest brand collaboration for the Spring and the lucky company is one of my all time favorites, Lilly Pulitzer. This marketing strategy is one for the books!
The pictures are stunning, the colors are vibrant and fabulous which make me yearn more and more for warmer weather and spring fashion. When I read about the news on Twitter last night, I was grinning from ear to ear. The hammock, umbrella, chairs, flatware, cosmetic bags, cushions, bathing suits, shorts, and cute espadrilles (swoon) are a "ticket to sunshine" (Target's slogan for the collection).
With 250 items in the collection, most of which are under $30, Lilly Pulitzer for Target is a Lilly-loving college girl's dream collection. What I love most about this collaboration is the accessibility that it will provide to those who typically can't afford to splurge on a Lilly Pulitzer shift dress each season. Lilly Pulitzer for Target is the perfect method to spread Lilly Pulitzer's sunny state of mind to all! While many criticize that this collaboration will "cheapen" the luxury brand, I believe this collab will do the exact opposite. Lilly is not selling its brand to Target, it has simply created a modified line designed for Target that will feature exclusive products and prints Lilly fans would never have access to if it weren't for this Target collab. You can bet that I have April 19th marked on my calendar, and I'll be staked out front of the nearest Target to campus ordering everything under the bright sun.
Happy December! Christmas music, movies, and decorations begin are my favorite part of the holiday season! The holiday cheer is just so fabulous. It's so surreal that my favorite holiday of the year is 3 weekends away! (PS. I'm currently listening to Justin Bieber "Under the Mistletoe" in the library, and the album will be on repeat to get me through finals). Below are some of my favorite holiday/Christmas "pinspiration" from my fav website. Enjoy and happy holidays! (PS stay tuned for more holiday inspired posts)
One of the most fabulous colors of Fall/Winter 2014 is Bright Cobalt!
I've become more and more obsessed with the vibrancy this color exudes. Most importantly, this color is a great way to jazz up a dream all black/grey winter ensemble.
Below are some of my favorite items and also some great styling inspiration from Pinterest!
