Happy Tuesday babes!

I’m still recovering from the weekend… I had my formal and it was such a fun time with girl friends. Although we all had dates we definitely always make sure to have the best time all together as just us girls. I’ve said it a thousand times on my blog but I’m so thankful for the friends I’ve made in college. Girl friends are super important to have in your life, and it’s hard to find the right group but I’m so thankful I did.

Speaking of girl friends, there are no better nights than a girl’s night out. It’s no surprise that I love to dress up. I know we all dress up for whatever special guy is in your life, but personally I love to dress up even more for friends. Girls appreciate style and beauty SO much more. There’s nothing better than spending two hours getting ready and then having a whole night with your gals taking photos and having a great time. Whether it’s for happy hour, a nice dinner, a movie, or a shopping trip, you can always dress to impress. (yes, even for your besties.)

Personally, when I have a girls date, I usually like to take advantage of it and dress a little more daring. I love prints, patterns, texture, and fun colors. Men don’t always understand that nor appreciate a good print mix but you know your girlfriends do! If I’m going on an actual date I usually play it safe with a neutral outfit and something simple. With my girl friends, it’s all about the fun prints and funky jewelry for me. For instance, THIS dress. Can we just swoon over it all day!? Like.I’m.obsessed. I can see myself wearing this dress so many times over the summer, especially for dinners on the beach. The leaf patter with the pop of pink in the dress is just so fun!! It’s also a really breezy shift dress which is perfect for the warmer months coming. I sized up with this dress, because sometimes shift dresses can be a little too short on me, but it was super big on me (still going to wear it tho) so definitely stay true to your size when ordering this dress. For accessories, I wanted the main attention to be on the dress so I paired some simple (but fun) block heels with an easy going black choker to tie in this whole “tumblr” type of trend. I also got this black saddle bag from Topshop which mixed the print a little bit with the snake skin and fringe detailing on it.

So, next time you’re out with your gals, try out a funky outfit and I promise your friends and YOU will love it. There are so many prints and fun ‘girl’s night out’ outfit options over on the Topshop website. Tweet/ snap me your outfits because I wanna see 🙂

Cheers to best friends and a girl’s night out…. xoxo

Happy Tuesday friends!

I had a quick 36 hours in Dallas this past weekend, that went super well! AKA slept the whole time, which is productive to me. 😉 I wish I could show y’all my planner for this week. The amount of projects, essays, and tests to prepare for is ridiculous. I’m only taking 15 hours this semester and I just signed up for 19 hours in the fall, kind of panicking with how much work I’ll have when I’m drowning with 15 hours right now. I’m just trying to power through this week and make it to this weekend, because we have formal starting this Thursday! (yayay!!) Follow along on my Instagram and Snap Chat for this weekend. Speaking of Snap Chat, I made a separate “blog” snap chat where I kind of share different behind the scenes stuff of my blog each day. It’s like a mini youtube channel lol 🙂 Add me at ‘amsblog’ for some FUN.

I’m gonna go ahead and apologize to all of my readers that dress WAY more conservative. This lingerie outfit is a little out there, but perfect for my college girl friends who go out like I do 🙂

I talked in a post here about spring trends. One of those trends was the ‘lingerie by day’ trend. It’s a new trend you have probably seen a ton with huge fashion influencers. It’s all about the bralettes and showing some skin. I got this crop top from Asos a month ago and have worn it out quite a few times. I usually wear it with high waisted denim shorts, as that fits more of the dress code here in Lubbock. But I saw this adorable light pink skirt in my closet and wanted to pair it with this crop top. This lingerie outfit makes such a scandalous look, girly and innocent. Since this top is extremely see-through and out there, I added a fringe vest to add texture and cover myself a little bit more. Underneath the crop top, I wore a bralette from Forever 21. This continues the lingerie outfit look, making it extra sultry. Forever 21 has a ton of affordable bralettes if you want to try out this trend. Even wearing a button down half open with a lace bralette is a fun way to branch out into this lingerie by day trend. I think it’s a trend that requires you to feel super comfortable with your body, but once you’re comfortable with it, the look is so flirty and fun.

Would you wear something like this lingerie outfit?!

Thanks for reading y’all!

Spring Bag Must Haves

spring bag details and must haves featuring extra gum

What’s up y’all!? I’m going a bit crazy this week. I’ve been scheduling in study times, blog posts, and events into my planner to get organized for the last final stretch of this school year. FIVE WEEKS LEFT of my freshman year in college?? It’s flown by. I’m headed home this weekend for a little meeting about an internship this summer and then will have to hit the books hard to end the year with better grades than last semester haha. Bare with me these next few weeks on my blog and social media channels… they will be slacking a bit 🙁 but school comes first! (or at least, it does to make my parents happy ;))

I don’t know about y’all…. but I love the spring time. Everything is just happier. I don’t usually like to carry a huge tote or crazy big bag as it gets warmer, I love an organized clutch that I can toss around and bring everywhere with me. With the weather warming up though, the things I put into my clutches change quite a bit.

Spring Bag Must Haves:

1. Small wallet/ Card Holder

Ever since coming to college, I am not a fan of chunky wallets. #nobodygottimeforthat I love my tiny LV coin bag, to slip all of my cards and school ID into. Plus, it fits easily into every small clutch I have.

2. Matte Lip Cream

I love my bright fun lip colors in the summer. What I don’t love? It smearing, melting, or having to re apply it. I’ve found that Matte lip creams dry easily and stay on all day. The one in these photos is from Gerard Cosmetics and they have an excellent selection. If you’re looking for a more affordable one, NYX makes amazing ones too. I have like every color of their line.

3. Extra® Gum

This is a given. I think people always need to carry gum or mints. You never know when you will need them!! Extra® has come out with new packaging that now offers 35 sticks of gum. So, more gum the better right!? Plus, I always hate having to buy a new pack each week and these larger packs are so much more convenient. So, these new Extra® 35-stick packs are in Walmart. You can get them from the checkout aisle. While I purchased the Polar Ice® flavor, they are also available in Spearmint. The packaging is better (durable and recycled) AND there is double the gum so I mean what is better than that!? I love how convenient these are to keep daily in your purse. Give Extra, Get Extra and go get you some gum for the spring season.

where to find extra gum in walmart

4. Small Makeup products

Having small makeup products like eyeshadow, or powder is important to have throughout the day to touch up as you’re running from work or class to dinner with friends. I know my summer is going to be crazy busy each day so having these products at my disposal each day is crucial.

5. Hand Sanitizer

IDK about y’all buttttttt the summer kind of grosses me out. Everyone stays outside (which I love) but you get all sticky, sweaty, and smelly. Plus, constantly being on the go means not taking the time to wash your hands and care for yourself. I ALWAYS have hand sanitizer in my bags to help me feel a little bit fresher on the go.

6. Blotting Sheets

Again, in the spring and summer, the oils come out. I usually have really dry skin but the second the weather warms up it’s like I have oily skin. I love to carry blotting sheets to look a little more normal throughout the day.

That’s usually about all I can fit into a clutch. Do y’all have any other must haves for your spring bags!? Talk soon, xx.

Happy Thursday y’all!

Today pretttttyyyy much marks the weekend for me since Low Hoop starts today. For all my readers who don’t go to Tech, Low Hoop is a huge 3-day event with a few fraternities that play basketball and some big rappers come in to sing! (honestly, don’t even know if that’s even an accurate explanation of it, I just know it’s going to be fun 🙂 ) But tonight we’ll kick it off at bar night and I’m SO excited. I MIGHT make it to one of my classes tomorrow, but probably not. (sorry, momma!!)

This dress has been ALL over my Instagram recently. Idk if it’s because of how adorable this outfit is or how amazing these photos are?? I bought this dress about a month ago because of the price and style. I wanted an off the shoulder ruffle dress and so naturally, this one was meant for me. These ruffle styled dresses are extremely in, and if you follow any other bloggers on instagram then you’ve seen this style 100 times. These shoes are new from Asos too. I’m a little crazy over their site since they have such good prices AND offer student discounts.

One of my favorite parts of this entire outfit is the jewelry. The bright colored bracelets and simple choker collar necklace add the right amount of details to this look. I talked about Taudrey here before. I am in love with their pieces! They have such a wide collection and I adore what they stand for. Definitely check out their pieces, I know you’ll love them as much as I do.

I’m off to finish last minute errands and get ready for tonight. Hope y’all have a fabulously bright weekend ahead!

P.S- If you want to see some good time college pics of this weekend follow me on insta here 🙂

Funky Pants & Simple Jewelry

Details:

Top: Nordstrom | Pants: California Moonrise | Shoes: Asos | Hat: Forever 21 | Jewels: Taudrey

Can we all just take a minute to admire these pants?! I’m in love!! I’ve featured flared pants like this before, but never floral ones like these. A huge plus? They’re soft as a baby and so comfortable. I could literally sleep in them and be so happy. California Moonrise, you never fail me. These pants are apart of their new Spring collection which I’ve talked about a hundred times, but I just love them so much.

I wanted the focus to be on the pants and the simple jewelry so I paired a plain black high neck top with this look. I think a cute crop top or crochet top would be darling with these pants, but this girl had a big lunch before shooting this and unfortunately these pants are tight at the top and do not hide food babies. 🙁 But they did allow me to eat anything and everything I wanted because they’re stretchy. #winning

I love simple, timeless jewelry with the warmer months. This necklace is from Taudrey. Their jewelry is gorgeous and amazing quality. I’m headed back to the Osheaga festival in Montreal this summer (I went last summer, and blogged about it) and I can already see this necklace paired with one of my outfits for those days. What I love about it, is it’s customized. On the middle tier, it has the letter A on the gold plate. I think any piece of jewelry that’s customized to you is so personable and chic. I’m going to link a few other favorites I have from their store below for y’all to check out.

On top of the jewelry, I love a good hat like this floppy black one and some fun sunglasses. These sunglasses are from Firmoo, they are actually an eyeglass company as well. They have wonderful glasses and sunglasses that can fit your needs. I LOVE these sunglasses they sent me, the brown color goes with a ton and I love how the frame is a bit circled. You can access their page here

I hope y’all enjoyed this look… I love adding a little bohemian to my style every once in awhile.

Howdy y’all! (sorry, I had too!)

I’m on my way back to Lubbock today. I feel like I have been home SO much recently. But I’m on my way back to power through the final month and a half of my freshman year.

April is SO close. I’m not even prepared for it, because I have a completely booked schedule. What are y’all looking most forward to in April?

Ok, Ok…. onto this outfit. How adorable is this two-piece set!? It’s from my favorite brand in Nordstrom, Lush! The color, the open back, the crochet, I love it all! It’s a solid piece for summer. I kept the orange hues with these orange wedges that are super old from Target. I’ll link a similar pair!

I also adore this statement necklace from Urban Peach Boutique. It’s a fun, girly piece and the pink jewels are right up my alley. I can’t wait to continue to style it this summer. You can get 25% off your purchase in their boutique when you use my code “AUDREY25”. I am also teaming up with them to give away a $20 gift card to their boutique over on Instagram. So follow me there, so that you can see when the giveaway is posted this week, and you can enter!!

I’m all about the orange this season. I seriously have already bought new shoes, a new bag, and this new outfit all in this fabulous orange color. How do you feel about the color orange?

Have a fab day!!

HAPPY Thursday y’all!!

I can’t believe Easter is almost here….. I’m going BACK home tomorrow haha, and then I’ll be back to Lubbock on Tuesday to power through the last month and a half of my first year of college.

I love Easter, especially for the fact we get to all dress up in pretty pastels and fun heels and praise God for our blessings in Church. This year, I collaborated with a really fun company called Shabby Apple. They sent me this amazing dress, and I took one look at it and knew I HAD to wear this gorgeous thing for Easter. It’s so flattering, with the cinched waist and obviously in the most stunning hot pink color.

I’m also usually the kind of girl that likes a really short dress, or a maxi dress. I don’t like the in between dresses, but for some reason this dress makes me want to only purchase dresses that are mid length, like this one, from now on. They’re classy and appropriate for any occasion. I felt like it was super fancy for me, so I did add some casual chunky clog wedges. These are super old from Steve Madden, but I’ll link similar ones below. To top it all off, for the Audrey Hepburn look, I added some layered pearls. I could’ve worn this outfit for 5 days straight if that was acceptable just because I loved it so much.

Last thing… funny story for y’all, I was running a little behind with my blog schedule and needed to get this outfit shot, so I resulted in asking my sweet mother to try and take some photos. As you can tell, they definitely aren’t like my usual ones but I’m so thankful for a mother who supports my love for this blog and will take the time out of her day to try and take photos for me. It started raining on us mid- shoot… and she stuck through it while I whined about how my hair is going to look so bad. So, needless to say, mom’s rock and if you haven’t told your mom that you love her today, go do it now 😉

I wish y’all a fabulous Easter weekend! He is risen!

TGIF!!

I got home from Gulf Shores Wednesday night and let me just say… I didn’t leave my bed Thursday and if it weren’t for planned meetings today, I wouldn’t be leaving my bed today either. The 4 days we spent in Alabama were some of the craziest, most memorable, and best days I’ve ever had. I also didn’t sleep at all so my body has completely crashed the last 42 hours haha!

I’ve collaborated with California Moonrise before, with their winter collection, and they were so kind to send me over a few pieces from their new Spring line… including this little romper number. I am a HUGE fan of this company and love working with them. Right now, you can buy their pieces from a Canadian store online, called Hudson’s Bay. Seriously… go check out their spring line. I’m in love with so many pieces and I want them all!

This romper is one of the most fabulous ones I’ve owned. It’s flow-y, fits just right, is low cut, and I mean…. look at those sleeves! Aren’t they just adorable? I was also completely in awe over the pattern details and how different each pattern is all over the romper. So creative! I’ll link this romper and a few of their items below for y’all.

AND… I just purchased these orange sandals from Asos. I told y’all I’m trying to only purchase colorful items this season, and as I usually gravitate towards black shoes, I saw these in this fun orange color and caved. They are so comfortable and the espadrille style of them screams summer on the beach.

Well, I’m going to head back to bed (insert tired emoji) but wishing y’all a fabulous Friday… hopefully filled with a more productive day then I’m having! xoxo
