Cheers!

Round Trip: Washington D.C.

Now, I would just like to begin this post by saying that I'm really not all that into politics. I was raised to believe what I want to believe with my own research and opinions (this applies to religion also). Because of this I am a registered independent.

That being said, I joined College Republicans at my University solely to go on the conference trips. I did this for my love to travel and educate myself on things that I won't learn in school - Marketing major, meep.

Our most recent trip was to the Capital for CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference). We stayed at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor. Nice, large hotel for the conference. However if I were to go to D.C. to see the city, I would choose a hotel in the actually capital because it's about a 20 minute drive from National Harbor to Union Station. Anywho...

My travel companion, Emily, and I had a blast.

Today's Regalia: Pop of Pastel

Happy 2014 everyone! One of my favorite looks to achieve is preppy with a bit of an edge to offset it. I kept the prep with this pastel pink silk blouse from Gap (similar), and layered a comfortable gray sweater dress (similar) (also from Gap) over it. I threw on my toupe suede booties from Target (similar) to polish it up a little bit. Because I'm in New England and it's January, I rocked a long belted puffer jacket from J.Crew to keep me warm.

Ugh it's 24 degrees right now.

I then added some Ray Ban Clubmasters to tie the black together. I did a somewhat distressed low ponytail with little teasing and a middle part. My makeup was a clean look with a slight cheek contour and rosy pink blush with a couple coats of mascara. Hope you're all enjoying your new year!

Weekend in The Big Apple: A Recap

Location: New York City

Occasion: Avery's Birthday

Hotel: Ritz-Carlton, Central Park

View of Central Park & the skyline from our room…beautiful.

I'll never forget when Avery's dad stole handfuls of hotel chocolates off the maid's cart and threw them into our room…highly recommended.

Ice skating in Rockefeller Center-so fun. It's something I always wanted to do at the time. However, now that I have I feel like  next time I'm in the city, I would spend my money elsewhere because it can get expensive with the skate rentals and ice time.

Max Brenner's however, is an absolute must for all chocolate lovers girls. With a total of five locations in the United States, if you're lucky enough to have time in the city, I'd highly highly recommend it.

Carriage ride through Central Park: beautiful. Though it was pretty darn freezing outside, we had a great time experiencing the park with all of the wonderful Christmas lights.

Hey guys!

Until next time!

Today's Regalia: Neutrals & Lilac

Sweater: Garage

Scarf: Purchased on vacation at a Club Med in Punta Cana, DR

Pants: J.Crew Pixie Pants

Flats: Reef

This sweater and these flats have a lot in common: both the color and comfort level. The sweater is extremely soft and stretchy. The flats have a cushy sole that strongly resembles a Tempur-Pedic mattress. Seriously.

Today's Regalia: Vintage Piece//Modern Style

Okay, I loooove thrifting. Some of my favorite pieces I own have been previously owned by somebody whom I have never met-weird? The concept bothers a lot of people but I find that as long as I wash before I wear I'm okay with it all. I'm also 95% sure this is a men's sweater because of the super-high V-neck. But like, whatever…it's cozy.

Sweater: Vintage J.Crew ($2 at a thrift store)

Jacket: Max Jeans

Hat: Target

Necklace: Tiffany & Co.

#Basic

Three basics that I could seriously not live without.

First let's begin with my personal favorite: the J.Crew Pixie Pants. These sturdy pants that strongly resemble leggings make it okay to wear leggings as pants. (Personally I think it's always okay to wear leggings as pants as long as they are not transparent…but ya know that's all personal preference.) I actually wear these twice a week and would wear them everyday if it was socially acceptable. 100% worth the money.

Next let's move on to another fan fave: the Madewell Perfect Chambray. Honestly so perfect with any set of cords, leggings, no matter the color or print. Layer it under sweaters in the winter or toss it over a swimsuit in the summer. Love.

Ahh the trench coat. This is that piece of your wardrobe that will take you from average to fabulous in two seconds flat. With a belt that takes your waist right it, it flatters your entire body. Also, most of these coats (you'd have to check on yours!) are water-resistant. I bought mine from Target by the brand Merona roughly three, maybe four years ago on sale for $25. Sadly they no longer have it on the website but I found a similar-looking Calvin Klein (hello, upgrade) one. This is the type of piece that you can honestly find on ANY budget. I mean, if we could all own a Burberry one we already would right?

Black is The New Black.

Basically obsessed with the "All-Black Everything" outlook on outfits...especially in the fall/winter. Here are ten chic (not gothic!) outfits to try out this season. Found them all on Pinterest!

These two girls have been my best friends for almost 10 years. Anytime I need someone they're there for me. It's a level of friendship that I feel unbelievably blessed to have had for the past decade.

Fall 2013 Daily Beauty Regime

 Face!

1. After moisturizing, apply a thin layer of MAC Prep & Prime Tinted face primer.
2. Apply MAC Studio Fix Concealer to any red spots and under the eye area. If you have oily skin I would recommend this concealer. However for dry skin, I would use a more liquid-based concealer to add moisture to the skin.
3. Take a kabuki brush and apply BareMinerals all over the face to desired coverage. Mineral make-up is the best because you can add coverage in layers without it looking cake-y.
4. Next, with an angled contour brush, I contour my cheeks with NARS Bronzer in "Laguna". Contouring your cheeks defines the face and lifts your cheek bones.

Eyes!

1. First prime your eyes with MAC Paint Pot in the neutral color "Painterly". Using a colored eye primer neutralizes any veiny or red discoloration under the thin layers of skin on the eye.
2. Next apply neutral eyeshadows of choice from the half-matte/half-shimmery Lorac Pro Palette.
3. Then for eyeliner, I have been in love with Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Crayon. It's ridiculously smooth and effortlessly smudge-able. I leave my lower waterline clean and only apply this to my tight line and upper lash line.
4. Finish the eyes with Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara.

Lips!

1. On clean lips, apply any mauve/rose colored lip liner to ensure all-day color. I've been using Milani's Easy Liner in Rose Pink.
2. Finish off with a moisturizing tinted lip balm. I've been using either Burt's Bees in "Rose" or Yes to Carrots in "Soft Plum".
