Inspiration Pt. II

Let's begin where we left off...

3. Emma Watson (as my readers, you MUST know that I am HUUUUGE Harry Potter fan)

4. Olivia Palermo (plus, she's got gorgeous hair!)

So, tell me- Who are some of your celebrity inspirations? I'd love to know!

Love That Texture...

Sweater - J. Crew, Pants - PacSun, Flats - Nordstrom

One thing about me: I like anything with texture - velvet, metallic, sequins, glitter. So naturally, I am absolutely in love with this bronzed sweater. My mom gave it to me for Christmas, and I can barely take my eyes off of it. It's such a wonderful sweater for fall and winter.

Anyways, hopefully everyone is enjoying the last couple days of holiday break. I sure am. On Monday, January 10th, it's back to reality. Back to stress, stress and more stress. For now, I'll be stocking up on all the sleep I can. XOXO

Inspiration Pt. I

I thought that it was about time to include some of the most influential celebrities.  And when I say "influential," I'm mostly referring to their sense of style.  On the top of my list is Rachel Bilson, Kate Hudson, Emma Watson, and Olivia Palermo (in no particular order!).  I don't understand how they can look so amazing, whether they're running errands or walking the red carpet.  I mean, I guess a personal stylist, and a couple million dollars would help... but still.  Me want their clothes. Me want all of it.  But haha don't worry- I'm not that desperate enough to pull a "Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch."

Also, I'm definitely making a Part II to this inspiration post.  Too many pictures, not enough time! And there's no way am I letting you (my reader!) become bored to tears, fall asleep, and then drool on that new shirt of yours (Christmas gift?).  I still have to get used to this weird concept of talking to any readers.  Anyways, let's begin.

P.S. Be sure to click on the picture to enlarge it.  The small size doesn't do Rachel's and Hudson's style any justice! 

1. Rachel Bilson (Plus, she is sooo amazing in the OC!)

2. Kate Hudson

Starting 2011 with a Bang

First off all, Happy New Year!!! Yay!! *Cue the confetti and fireworks, pizzazz and streamers*

 

So I recently took up the College Fashion Challenge, mixed up my black and browns, and sent in a picture.  The next morning, I check my email and "Oh hey! My pictures are featured on the site!"  It was pretty cool to see myself on a site that I religiously refer to and admire.  Anyways, that challenge helped out my blog a lot.  My viewers primarily consisted of my family, so this challenge definitely brought in some new viewers (who aren't related to me!) THANK YOU CF.  Really, even though my blog's not crazily flooded with viewers, this challenge definitely made a difference. 

Here's a screenshot of the challenge:

 

Sweater - J. Crew, Top - J. Crew, Skirt - J. Crew, Tights - Madewell, Boots - Nordstrom

May everyone have a wonderful year, surrounded by friends, family, and all the things you love!

Sparkling and Plaid

Necklace - Urban Outfitters, Flannel - AE, Vest - AE, Boots - Nordstrom

Sweet.  My second outfit post in one week.  Who's good? :)  Anyways, enough gloating... back to my blog!  I've found another way to wear my necklace!  I told you its amazingly versatile.  See I'm bringing the bling bling into the rugged grunge.  And it feels so great to get your money's worth.  Maybe this New Year, I'll start making smarter fashion choices.  Haha my New Years resolution list is getting longer by the moment.  This is what I have so far:

1) Don't procrastinate/endlessly surf through blogs/Facebook stalk/etc.  (and hopefully this will lead to good grades, good SAT score, all that good stuff)
2) Talk back less.  This mainly concerns me and my parents.
3) Make smarter fashion choices (money wise, closet wise, etc.)
4) Stay organized.  Don't let clutter take over my life!
5) Take adventurous risks with fashion.

Let's hope I can stick to at least one...

P.S. My brother wants me to mention that he was the super awesome photographer who took these shots.  Happy now, Trevor?

The eve of Christmas Eve

Top - Banana Republic, Skirt - J. Crew, Shoes - Doc Martens, Belt - H&M 

Boy oh boy does time fly fast.  There are two more days till Christmas!  Cue the presents, the food, the family, the fun!  Okay that last line bordered corny a little too much, but whatever - I'm excited.  Nothing will stop me from enjoying my Christmas this year... not the lame White Elephant (exchanging the usual cousin gift exchange), or any annoying relatives or even my wisdom teeth.  

One of my favorite parts about the holiday season is dressing up.  During the school days, I rarely get to explore and adventure past the regular old polo and cords, so the holidays are a lovely treat.  That should be one of my New Year's resolutions... be more adventurous when it comes to dress code.  Live a little Caitlin!  Don't worry about getting a detention! :)

Anyways, back on the subject of fashion, here's a recent holiday outfit of mine.  As you can tell, I loveee my simple black tees and tights.  They're definitely key staples in my wardrobe.
