Winter Trend: The Blanket Scarf

Recently, I have been seeing SO much of this scarf all over Pinterest and Tumblr.

It may be out of stock at Asos, but you can find a similar one here.

Better yet, I found this knock-off at Target! 

Its sold out online, but Target's website has a feature that allows you to see if your local store has it in stock. Luckily, my store did and I picked up this dupe for roughly $14 because scarves were an additional 20% off. Can't beat that deal! They even have a lot of similar ones in different colors. Definitely get it quick because I know these are going to sell out!

Here's a picture of me wearing the one I got from Target with my new jacket from Old Navy. I think they look great together and both are great transition pieces.

What do you think of this scarf and how would you wear it?

Throwing Shade (Not Really)

I was never a sunglasses person; I own about two pairs and they're both relatively basic. As I'm writing this, its snowing where I live in New Jersey. Lately, I been exploring Ray-Ban's website and finding so many cute sunglasses that spark my interest. I think the weather is making me anxious for summer!

Like I mentioned, I am rather basic in the sunglasses department. I typically stick to aviators because I think they flatter my face best. I couldn't find the exact pair that I'm wearing but it is this style. I also own a pair of Clubmasters that I got for a steal. I've had my eyes on some Classic Wayfarers for awhile, but I saw so many unique and new styles online!

I am obsessed with this pair of aviators. Everything about them! I think they're very different, but still classic. I mentioned how much I like aviators and I also love tortoiseshell so this pair is perfect!

Ray-Ban also seems to be toying a lot with the colored lenses trend. The green pair has really grown on me. I like them because they are unique, yet subtle (and aviators).

I think its apparent that velvet has been a big trend recently and I think its really cool that Ray-Ban was able to incorporate this trend in their Erika glasses, which come in several velvet colors.

I also really like the Erika glasses in general. I feel like they're kind of a wayfarer meets aviator look. Almost like a more feminine wayfarer which is super cute!

Thank you so much for reading! 

What sunglasses have you been liking for the summer? 

Birthday Wishlist!

My birthday is coming up, April 4th to be exact, and this year there was nothing that I really wanted. Yes, I'm a shopaholic so of course I always have my eye on a few things, but there was nothing I was dead set on. I figured I would ask from some basics, which would never do me wrong.

There is something about these sneakers that I really love. I think these Vans for J. Crew sneakers are perfect for the spring and summer. They're so simple but the lace makes them different. They'd be adorable with rolled jeans or chinos.

I do own a few pairs of Sperrys but I've always had my eyes on this leather pair. I've gotten so much use out of my other pairs that I know I'll wear these classics a ton!

Last semester, in my healthcare class, a girl turned to me and said "feel these shorts." She was wearing this pair of Krass & Co. shorts and they were honestly so soft. The texture was like no other athletic short and they come in so many cute designs. I've been going to the gym a lot recently so I would definitely love a pair!

My recent health kick has induced a constant craving for more Lululemon clothing - it's perfect motivation! My next purchase will most likely be a jacket because they're perfect for wearing to and from the gym. I specifically pointed out the design on this jacket because I love everything about it. There's also a really cute lavender one that I like.

I saw these earring on Tumblr awhile back and fell in love. I love this whole sparkly, statement earring trend. They look so cute with your hair up and they're a great price!

I own about five pairs of J. Crew Pixie pants in multiple colors and I have had my eyes on this tuxedo stripe pair. However, I never pay full price for any of my Pixie pants and definitely couldn't justify doing so on this pair. But, they just so happened to go on sale around my birthday and I wasted no time sending my mom that link.

I am a huge fan of J. Crew's Drapey Tee (I think that's what it's called). In the winter I got a few pairs and I noticed they are selling more this spring. I think they're great for a casual outfit but very flattering. They have a lot of solids but I really like the striped ones they have out now.

This is a reach because it's already sold out (so I can't include a link - sorry!). But I absolutely love this patchwork Shep Shirt from Vineyard Vines. I did mention this shirt awhile back when there were still some mediums in stock, though. . .

Again, I am definitely not expecting all of this! I just mentioned what I could find that I liked to my mom and I'm excited because I know I'll have plenty of surprises! What was your favorite item on my birthday wishlist?

Thanks for reading!
