Paint the Town Floral

Hello, everyone!

As the days get longer and warmer, I find myself not wanting to get dressed up when leaving the house. But what's a girl supposed to do when there are things to do and people to see! Most days I'm shadowing various physicians or interning at a research facility. When I do get a chance to do something different, this is my go-to outfit because it is girly and universally flattering. Floral prints make me feel pretty, dressed up, and wide awake.

This floral print skater skirt is perfect paired with a plain black top and some pretty accessories. I added a blush pink cross-body (that is like Hermione's bottomless bag), some floral wedges (that are both comfy and cute), and some statement sunglasses! It ended up being a perfect day out on the town, with a surprising rain storm in the evening. Luckily, these shoes were comfy enough to run in the rain!

Love this Mac lipstick in the shade "Craving"

Feminine Nautical

Hope you all had a perfect Independence Day weekend!

I love long weekends you can spend lounging with friends and family! This is my last week before starting medical school... It's been surreal so far but reality is finally kicking in! I'm super excited but extremely nervous at the same time. I'm spending this next week celebrating my birthday and doing last minute "first day of school" prep.

This look combines my signature feminine aspects with summery, nautical aspects! This eyelet, high-waisted skirt is so versatile and can go with literally any top. A top with sailboats` seemed perfect! Of course, I had to add my favorite color (bag) and my Jack Rogers! This outfit perfect for HOT New Mexican summer days because its light and airy!

Red, White & Blue (Vol. 2)

Happy Friday and Happy (almost) Fourth of July, everyone!

Today's post features The Class Act's second look for the Fourth of July. I love themes... So obviously, I was thrilled for this shoot. This color combination is absolutely darling, but it feels extra special around this time of the year. I paired this white and blue striped dress with a burgundy hat, my (new fav) white sunnies, a chambray top, and some red lips. I love bold lip colors (well, lip products in general) but I usually save these bright red lips for special occasions.

This look is extremely versatile so you can wear it to anything you have planned for the long weekend. Plus, a chambray button-up and red lips are essentials for every closet. 

Hope ya'll have a fun and safe Fourth of July! :)

I blow kisses all day with bold lips...

As you can see, I have A LOT of fun shooting these looks.

Dress: Option 1 and Option 2 // Hat: Similar Color (Burgundy) and Similar Styles // Button-up: Love this one // Sunnies: LOVE

What are your Fourth of July plans? :)

Red, White & Blue (Vol. 1)

Hope you're having a wonderful hump day!

Red, white and blue is a color combination I like to wear year round! For this 4th of July, I'm going with a simple and casual look. I paired a striped navy skirt with a black crop top. I channeled my inner Taylor Swift and added red lips. I always feel so confident when I do! This blue wallet is my favorite because it fits my phone and can double as a clutch. Products I can use multiple ways are the best! 

This look is perfect for a family barbecue and fireworks! There is a huge firework display in my city every Independence Day and we have the best view. We have a family tradition to watch them every year!

PS- The title say "Vol. 1" because you'll see Ari's version in Vol. 2 on Friday!

Pretty in Pink

Monday's are better in pink!

I love starting the week with something blush pink. This look combines a girly and simple dress with classic accessories. This dress is EVERYTHING. I'm in love with the color, the crossed back, the simplicity of it. I paired it with some neutral accessories so the dress would be in the spotlight. It definitely deserves it! My all time favorite pair of boots are probably these suede booties. They can be paired with basically everything because they pass as both formal and casual. How great is that?!

We shot this outfit around some beautiful locations at the University of New Mexico. This campus is breathtaking and has some charming spots. It feels like a completely different world... This look is perfect for whatever you have planned for the day. I wore it to feel extra pretty while running errands, and then to lunch with some close friends. 

Dressing up is one of my favorite things to do! It's not a burden to get dressed in the morning because I genuinely LOVE doing it. Nothing is better than feeling confident and beautiful no matter what you're doing that day. So why not get dressed up all the time? 

My sister and I live by the quote by Oscar Wilde, "You can never be overdressed or overeducated."

These sunnies are absolutely darling... and they make me super sassy. ;)

Love this classic Kate Spade purse. It goes well with everything!

The back of this dress is gorgeous.

What gets you through Monday? :)

Lace, Blush & Bows

Happy Friday!

Today's outfit involves some of my favorite things: lace, blush pink, and bows! I always opt for more of a feminine feel and this look definitely accomplishes that! I love this airy, blush pink blouse not only for the color, but also because it doesn't make me get heat stroke in the Albuquerque sun. Also, when you turn around, (BAM!) there's a bow in the back! These lace-y shorts are super comfortable and make me feel like I'm wearing PJs. I picked up these Tory Burch espadrilles while I was in Vegas last week and I haven't stopped wearing them! They are so comfortable for walking and perfect for summer! I mayyy need another color. ;) I also added my favorite sunnies and go-to handbag to complete the look.

This look was shot at The University of New Mexico Main Campus where I did my undergrad. I had a realization that I won't be going there that often anymore and got a little emotional! The campus is gorgeous and I have nothing but great memories from there. I'm really going to miss it!

 I love these turquoise accent doors around campus.

 I love this scarf on my Speedy!

Are you attached to your university like I am?
