Weekly Playlist - Summer Beach

School's out (for most of us) and summer is here! Time to hang out with friends, plan future road trips, and find excuses to shop our hearts out. With our new found freedom, there's no way we'll pass up the chance to take a trip to the beach! Here's a fun little playlist to help you montage your way to the waves.

Festival Fun!

The Fashion of Festivals 

Music Festivals!!!! With summer finally here, I have been hearing a whole lot of hype about the recent festivals coming up and it's getting me more and more pumped! I am attending a music festival in Canada and could not be more inspired right now on my outfit choices, accessories, makeup etc. (So excited!) I have had fun with making a few collages recently and below I decided to share one. Hope you get some inspiration!

Columbia College Fashion Shoot

During the last few weeks in our Freshman year at Columbia College, Gigi and I were asked to do a photo shoot for a group of seniors. The collaborative school project involved stylists, makeup artists, art directors and a photographer. It was a super fun experience, and the photos turned out amazing (thanks to Alex Friedland). Enjoy!

Pictures from Europe

I traveled to Europe alone over summer and met up with my sister there and here are some of my favorite pictures from my trip. PS I know this post is super late but I still wanted to share!

All about them jellies

JELLIES
OOTD

Sorry this picture doesn't show my outfit very well! My shirt is a pink blush crop top from Brandy Melville. They don't sell it online anymore but I found it here. My light wash denim skirt is from LF but it's basically the same as this one! I got my clear jellies at this random little store in London for like 15 pounds. I found them here for super cheap and the original JuJu ones can be found here. 

How to style: Glitter Jellies

Jellies are hard to style. Which is weird because they are clear so you can wear socks to make them any color you want, but I find them harder to style than solid colored ones. I was sorta scared and nervous when I got my glittery clear ones. I honestly thought I would never wear them but I got them anyways because they were so cute! I thought I wouldn't be able to pull them off, but honestly, you can pull anything off if you wear it with confidence.

I think clear jellies look awesome with denim. Denim is always the answer yooooo, especially light wash denim!! So you could pair them with a denim skirt, or denim jacket (pictured to the right) or denim dress! In the pictures below, the girl with the pink hair wears them with a denim dress and black sheer tights. The picture on the right features Kylie Jenner wearing her jellies with a denim dress and cute socks. They look great with frilly socks like these as well.

 How to Style: Solid Colored Jellies

These are easier to style in my opinion. Honestly they go with basically everything especially if you're getting them in black or white. They can be worn with an edgy, girly, spunky, funky (basically anything) outfit. In the photo to the left, she's wearing her jellies with super basic pieces that I bet you already have in your closet! So just pull out a basic tee and jeans and you're good to go. 

The photo to the right features a girl wearing them in a girlier way. She's just wearing them with a floral romper and I bet you already have a floral skirt or dress! Moral of the story is to buy a pair because they go with everything!! 

SO basically I made this post to bring jellies back because I feel like I haven't seen people wearing them lately! So buy them :) Thanks for reading!!

Phone Photos

These are just a few snaps I have taken on my phone when I never had a camera on me. All are from either an iPhone 4 or iPhone 5c.

Nova and Cher Shoot: Gigi

Gigi and I had the awesome chance to spend the night with our friends in Idlewild. We slept in this adorable strawberry cabin, and loved it (and the town) so much that it stimulated us to do a shoot. Here are the photos that the inspiration evoked. Enjoy!
