Denim Styling

October 19, 2015

"This shirt had been my saving grace this summer and fall,  in all weather this shirt has been there for me, in rain serving as an umbrella, drying off after the pool, staying warm in general, I’ve been able to wear it pretty much every day. This shirt/ jacket  has been great to me and It looks great also, so here are three ways I like to style it.

This outfit would be the most casual of the three and something I would throw together pretty much without thinking, and would be something great to wear to school on a lazy day that looks nice for that little to no thought. I also paired it with jeans for a denim on denim look that is very on trend.
Look 1:
Denim Shirt
Blank Tank Top
Leggings
Blue Vans

This second look my androgynous look.  With the two layered collared shirts cuffed I think it gives a pretty masculine look that I really like in the outfit. It's also a bit more dressed up but still comfortable for a person that really isn't a fan of skirts and dresses.
Look 2:
Deer Zara Blouse
Denim Shirt
Black leggings or jeans
Black ankle boots
This final look is my girliest of the three with the inclusion of the dress, but obviously not that dressy. It's just enough to look like effort but it's just a simple dress and the denim shirt thrown over. A scarf can also be layered on top with cooler weather and definitely some tights also.

Look 3:
Denim Shirt
Simple black dress
White Watch
Ankle Booties

Thank you for reading and hopefully you enjoyed this and I can do more styling in the future."

getting away

August 08, 2015

As a nice end to a summer spent in rain my family found ourselves away from home relaxing in sunny Florida. Florida is sort of like an old friend to my family. The kind of friend you don’t have to always be doing things with, just hanging out is fine. And so, thats what we did. No wasting the heat in lines and crowded between people in amusment parks. Just what vacation is meant for. 

Relaxation.

This is our vacation in pictures I took along the way.

Watching live musicians at Downtown Disney.
Nights we spent searching Downtown Disney.


Our three day cruise upon the Norwegian Sky to the Bahamas. (Next blog post)

A cheery walk with my sister.




If you saw me you probably would have thought I had never seen an animal in my life the way I sprung up at every single one in sight.


Our last day we spent packing, swimming and exploring the last of the resort. This charming little gazebo is where Naaila, my sister, and I spent some time writing and accepting the finality of our trip.
Thank you for reading my recount of our travels, hope you enjoyed.
Mary

Moody Summer

August 03, 2015


As the seasons change the music I listen to changes, which brings me to my Summer playlist. I did quite a bit this summer and these songs are the ones I've played through it all. With blues-ey feelings from Hozier's Jackie & Wilson and Work Song to Sassy Diva vibes from Jessie J's Mamma Knows Best and happy feel good anthems like Hold my Hand by Jess Glynne and Anyway by Tori Kelly this playlist will fit a bevy of assorted emotions. Hope you enjoy this lineup as much as I do.
