My closet needs some serious TLC ya'll! I'm not talking about shopping (let's face it, I've done enough shopping...), I'm talking about reframing my wardrobe. Weeding out the pieces that are unnecessary/unwearable/irrelevant and making way for my grownup girl closet (which may include a little shopping). I'm putting on my big girl pants guys...literally!
This past year I've been experimenting with colors and patterns, trying to find what works for me and defining my style. There have been some hits and misses but I've come to the realization that simple is best. Simple, good quality pieces are always in style and I need to get rid of some loud, cheaply made (ahem... Forever 21) items and invest in staples.
2013 is halfway over (OMG, where did it go?!) and I'm dedicating the rest of the year to my quest for a classic closet. I was creating a wishlist today with J Crew's newest feature and it hit me... No more shopping unless it's a good piece that fits my criteria (mainly WWJLD or what would Jenna Lyons do) and no more fast fashion! #makeithappen

Happy Friday friends, I'm coming down from a little red, white and blue overdose! As I always do with holidays, I spent the days leading up to the 4th of July in full-on festive mode. Once Thursday rolled around I was psyched to make some fun memories and partake in a few cliche Summer activities. Unfortunately, mother nature had other plans: We're still in the midst of the longest week of Summer rain ever. Couple that with a little health hiccup and we're in for a bumpy weekend... Hopefully your holiday weekend will be better than mine and may you fit in a little time to be fearless! Here's what I've been loving this week:
Stephanie Sterjovski's homemade coconut oil and honey hair mask on The Everygirl
a sweet look at Alys Beach at Style Me Pretty Living
The Glitter Guide shares an amazing tour of Damsel in Dior's Jacey Dupri's home
a glam Fourth of July picnic + a sweet beach party via Style Me Pretty Living
& the July issue of Matchbook Magazine!
