i can feel it in the air

The weather is Chicago is finally turning into normal! This week so far has either been sunny with a slight breeze or warm enough to not wear another jacket. I can feel that spring is here and summer is just around the corner. Thankfully, because my birthday is in eight more days and I wouldn't want to be brr-ing on my birthday. Although it's cliche, spring reminds me of florals and I love florals. The colors that I've been attracted to are more muted pastels, or I guess a dark toned pastel. 

Greens, yellows, corals, or lavender colors but not your average pastel colors. A more dark toned, which gives the colors much more sophistication, in my opinion. If you want to know what color palette I'm talking about, I tried to use those types of colors for the pictures here. Beige is always an awesome color for spring, especially paired with a forest green. 

Since I'm a high school senior, college and AP's are my main priorities at the moment. After AP's, all I have is graduation and my priority then is shopping, hanging out with friends, and updating my blog more often. What a great set of priorities to have, right? I can't believe I have only a month of school left. The workload has been incredibly 'lax lately. The teachers have assigned us homework (i.e. to "study" for AP's and our mock AP's) but y'know...who does that, haha.

Hope you guys are enjoying the spring weather and possibly the days of summer! Hopefully the Chicago weather will be consistent...but who knows, it could start snowing tomorrow. Since the weather has been amazing lately, I will try to get picture posts up and running, but until then, expect a lot of inspiration posts!

changing seasons

The weather has been crazy in Chicago lately. There was news for a snowstorm last weekend, but there was  no bits of white in sight. It's usually bright & sunny in the mornings and incredibly gloomy towards the afternoon. I remember March last year, when it was warm enough to wear shorts. Now, I still need to have 

my scarf in handy to go outside. I wonder when I can put away the scarf...

 I think I now understand why people say that your style matures. I definitely saw my wardrobe change the couple of months, and I think it found its true colours. Comfort is key and simplicity is the best. I love accented items but simple clothing items make an outfit complete. I can't see myself without a loose fitting white tee (like an Alexander Wang inspired shirt) , booties, and a cardigan (an over-sized one is the best). Letting my hair be in its natural form completes my outfit too. It's effortless, yet you put enough effort into it to make it look like that.

I hope everyone is having a blast on Spring Break, I know I am. This is a break well needed. Sadly, school starts soon but I only have a month or so until graduation! So excited to finally graduate high school. It feels like I was a freshman yesterday..thank goodness I'm not, haha.

march wish list

A new type of post! Instead of monthly favorites, I've decided to do monthly wishlists. The things that I put on the wishlist will probably similar throughout the months, but we'll see ;) So far I've been keeping my eye out on a couple of items, since my birthday is in less than two months. These items are things that's been stuck in my mind. 

First off is the Dr. Martens X Agyness Deyn Aggy Strap in Cherry Red Rouge. At first, I found this shoe absolutely atrocious, but after seeing people wear it and the way they styled it, it grew on me. I see this as a huge statement piece and the chunky-ness is charming. 

 Second, is the Mink Pink Backstage Pass Sweater. Similar to the Docs above, I found this sweater overwhelming. But I absolutely love how it's over-sized  I really wanted a fur jacket (faux) but I couldn't find the one that fits me and is everyday material. I saw this and saw how unique it is. It's like a unique alternative of a fur jacket. I'm currently keeping a tab on this (it's on sale soon!)

 Third, is the Zara Close Toe Strappy Sandals. I didn't find the perfect gladiator sandals last summer and was determined to find a pair for this summer. Although this is a dark color, I feel like it'll fit perfectly for the summer. It's versatile and I could wear them in other seasons as well. I think it'll be pretty funny to have a foot tan in that pattern. 

Lastly, is the Chloe Susanna Shoe. This is a far reach product for me, sadly. I've been trying to find a similar faux one becuase I just need this in my life. But, I've realized that there can't be one that's as amazing as the original. I plan to somehow save up that huge amount of money for this shoe, but until then, maybe I'll find one that's 3/4 less than the actually price. 

Hope you guys liked my wishlist. It consists of lots of shoes becuase I've been feeling shoes lately. Other than jewelry, shoes are the perfect way to give pop to an outfit. Maybe for my birthday or in a possible haul, I'll have some of these items? Fingers crossed!
