The Coveted: H&M

This weekend, I am (hopefully) going to H&M. I love the place. They offer well-constructed, chic, trendy pieces that fit a small budget. Here are some things I am coveting.
Necklace $12.95- I want this! It's so pretty. I would wear it with everything. I love the color too. So pretty for spring.

Blazer $29.95- Pastels are so hot this season, so this pink blazer is the perfect way to introduce pastel shades into your wardrobe. You can do so many types of looks: brights, pastels, and a twist on a classic. I would get so much use out of this blazer!

Blazer $34.95- I have this idea for this blazer. I want to pair this with a pair of coral jeans and a blue tee. I can also wear it with my green jeans, purple pants, and blue jeans. I could even wear it with pretty skirts and dresses. Adds a great pop of color to anything.

Top $29.95- It's not too warm yet, so I like the idea of a buttondown. This print is interesting, which makes the top special.

Dress $29.95- Ever watch Fashion Star? I love that show. It's a competition, where designers are bidded on by byers from Macy's, Saks, and H&M. Then you can actually buy the clothes. Last week, H&M bought Sarah's design. I love it. The pattern and colors are perfect. I would wear it to school or on the weekends. It looks really comfortable.

Dress $17.95- Everyone needs a floral dress. It's cute and sexy. Perfect for spring.

Clawed: Stripes

Time for a polish change! I like to do easy nail art since I don't have a very steady hand. Stripes is the answer!

First I applied a base coat (Sally Hansen Double Duty), then a coat of marigold polish (Designated Driver by Spolied).

After letting the marigold polish dry, use a black polish pen or striper to draw stripes.

After the stripes are dry, apply a top coat to seal it all in! I love that you can use any color combination! And it's really hard to mess up. If you can draw a relatively straight line, you're golden.

Style Musings: Matzah Ball

Happy Passover! Passover is my favorite holiday. I love the story, the symbolism, the food, and the four glasses of wine! I'm one of the few people who actually like gefilte fish. It's a mix of pike and whitefish all mashed up and rolled into a round-ish shape. Matzah ball soup is amazing. And if you've never had charoset, you haven't lived. Charoset is chopped apples, chopped nuts, and cinnamon, all drenched in some red wine. It's so good! It reminds us of the mud that the Jews used to build the pyramids when they were enslaved in Eygpt.

For this spring celebration, I wanted to wear something bright. I slipped on a pair of cobalt Forever 21 jeans. After some consideration, I wore a green Forever 21 top. I knew I wanted to wear a pair of floral Forever 21 flats. To bring in the pink from the flats, I wore Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense lipstick in #33, a satin fresh pink. I added some bling with a pair of vintage-inspired Jennie Boston earrings and a Hebrew nameplate necklace that I got in Israel.

My Passover was so much fun. I loved being with friends and family. And I loved my outfit! Don't mind my crazy faces. You try to take good pictures of yourself after more than four glasses of wine. And don't mind the messy room. How was your Passover/Easter?

The Coveted: Ray-Ban Aviators

Ray-Ban RB3025 Aviator Large Metal Sunglasses, $195

I need sunglasses. Badly. It may not be warm out, but it sure is sunny. And squinting isn't very pretty. These are the ultimate sunglasses: aviator shape, gold tone and a black/grey lens. I wish I had $195 to blow on a pair of sunnies.

Style Musings: Never Have I Ever

Never have I ever thought I would love flatforms. Whenever I saw them, I always thought they were big and clunky. They are big and clunky, in a wonderful '70's way. I also have small feet, so I thought that flatforms would make my feet look big. But I am converted! I love them! Flatforms have the height of a heel/wedge, but the comfort of a flat. I love being able to look my family in the eye! (I'm the shortest, and the oldest child of three!)

I wore my green BDG jeans and brown Zara tee. The Zara tee has a wonderful zipper detail in the back. I threw on my velvet vintage Ralph Lauren blazer. I couldn't stop touching myself! It's so soft. I like wearing blazers in spring because my school's building is so bipolar. In some rooms, I'm sweating, but I'm freezing in others. And since it's still pretty cool outside, I need to have something to cover up with. I want warmer weather.

To reflect the color of the shoes, I wore a heart necklace. I don't know where it's from. My sister let me have it.

I also wore my studded Gap belt to keep my pants up. I love the combination of these colors.

The blazer has my first two initals! It was meant to be!

This pair of flatforms are by the brand Born. The shoes are very comfortable, and have a little extra arch support. I love the color, which is perfect for spring.

I wear my heart on my sleeve. Well, on my neck.

Style Musings:Say Hello To My Little Friend

Did I say how much I love spring? Yes I love spring. I love the robins. I love the flowers. I love the warm sun. But I especially love the ladybugs! This particular ladybug was my grandmothers, and I love him. He adds a little whimsy to my look today.

This ladybug is crawling up a brown Zara tee, having conquered the bright violet Forever 21 pants. On my feet are Forever 21 floral flats. I really love these. I made them a little more comfortable by putting wads of electrical tape inside. I'm so ghetto.

I tied a vintage hot pink scarf onto my bag to bring in the colors in the shoes. I actually think it looks really cute!

As much as I love this look, I feel it's missing something. I think it's the blazer. Grey is an all-right color. But I think this look needs more color. I think I need a pale pink blazer. And bright orange lipstick. The pink blazer would tie in the shoes a little more, and the orange lips would tie in the ladybug.

So it's settled. On the hunt for a pale pink blazer!

But on the whole, I think this is a pretty good look.

Flowers and Lace

When spring comes, my favorite things to wear are florals and lace. So girly and so perfect for the season.

These green jeans also remind me of spring. Yes, I did get green jeans! I got BDG jeans from Urban Outfitters. They are so comfy and soft. The only bad thing is that they run big! I thought I should get a 32, but got a 31. Now I wish I got a 30. I guess that's what belts are for.

The floral top is from Love Culture. It's one of the few floral things I have. It's cute though. I like it. I also have my Joy Melissa bag. I love this thing. I use it every day. It looks like a briefcase!

The shoes are my copper flip-flops. They're cute. And they have support, which is really important if you have bad feet.

To reflect the color of the shoes, I threw a little arm party! First I put on a rhinestone bracelet that my boyfriend gave to me. Then is a copper chainmail bracelet that I made. Finishing off my arm party is a brown braided leather H&M bracelet. Adds some sparkle too.
