Happy May 1st everyone! Can you believe that the year has flow by so fast? School has been extremely hectic lately, and I haven’t had much time for blogging with graduation, a trip to Dallas, and of course… my Europe vacay around the corner. Although my life has been chaotic lately, I have a few fashion necessities to purchase before I venture across the world. I put together an inspiration board to help myself prepare and give you all some summer must-have ideas!
How flirty and fun is this Betsey Johnson suit, perfect for the sandy beaches of St. Tropez? Or, a zesty lemon suitcase by J.Crew, great for traveling in style! And of course, you can’t forget a good pair of Chaco walking sandals to stroll the streets of Paris and visit the museums in Amsterdam. Another item that has me swooning is Esther boutique’s pastel pink dress! Are any of these items catching your eye?
J.Crew’s number 1 pick for a 2012 gotta-have-it is the classic ballet flat. After browsing through my January catalog I received in the mail, I couldn’t help but agree 100 percent. You can never go wrong with a timeless J.Crew shoe, so purchase a pair while they last! Don’t forget that you can use your student ID at most locations to receive a discount.
An all time favorite actress of mine and incredible role model, Reese Witherspoon is a class act with impeccable style. Most celebs have the luxury of hiring stylists who dress them, which explains why they look flawless every time they are spotted out! I decided to put together an affordable recreation of Reese’s look at a recent West Hollywood event. Here are a few of my choices to complete this sassy little number for less.

Jessica Simpson Booties (similar), Alice + Olivia dress, J.Crew Blazer, Kendra Scott Danielle Earrings (would look great in any color!)
Today: Try these J.Crew toothpick jeans in a variety of spring colors. -slightly stretchy, easy to wash, and affordable … you can’t go wrong with this purchase!
So after my much anticipated trip to New Orleans, I have to admit that I didn’t have that great of a time thanks to something called the flu. I will probably be away from the blog for a few days resting up and spending priceless time with family that I will be leaving once school gets in gear. If you still have any downtime like I do, take my advice: lounge around in your favorite pair of pajamas and RELAX while you can…that feeling will be long gone once 2012 starts setting in.
