Hearing about a castle in New Jersey, at this day in age, I was so intrigued to visit and use the venue for a post to share with you! 

Pleated dresses and skirts have been making their way into my closet lately along with thick, 4-inch heels, and this classic denim jacket. I haven't worn a plain, white dress since my First Communion, but it was so refreshing and crisp- I loved it! I never believed in the whole "white after Memorial Day and before Labor Day" law that people seem to think exist. If it looks amazing and is weather appropriate, why wait? Fashion was never about abiding rules or laws anyway. 

Happy weekend, my lovely followers! :)

Pick-Me-Ups

Everyone needs a few pick-me-ups every so often to get them through rainy days or bad weeks at work or school. Here are just a few of my favorite things that always tickle my fancy when time seems like its slow and dreary in the middle of the month:

 

Nights out for dinner with the girls are a great way to catch up and get away from the stress from work, school, and life. {I look forward to these twice a month.}

 

 Family BBQ's usually result in family reunions where we act goofy and reminisce of years gone by. {Target straw fedora; Forever 21 top}

 I'm currently obsessed with Instagram; an app that lets you blog through photos. I try to post a photo everyday, whether it be an outfit of the day, food, or just random finds. {I love my followers and their photos. A lot of the users are very talented and see such magnificent things all over the world.} {American Eagle denim jacket, skinny jeans and bag; Forever 21 sweater and booties; Old Navy tank top; Macy's scarf; J. Crew IPhone case}

 Manicures- whether it be self or professional- always make me feel better on a gloomy day. {I love playing with trends and fun colors.} {VanD'Go and Carnival - Essie; Queen of Everything- Sephora by OPI}

I have this new obsession with pleats. They're just so feminine and flirty and contrast amazingly with my leather bomber! {Skirt and dress- Forever 21}
