Chucks


Shirt: Brandy Melville | Shorts: LF (old, similar styles here [only $25!], here & here | LOVE these guys for Fall) | Shoes: Converse (kinda thinking high tops might be in my near future) | Clutch: Clare Vivier (I adore the lining on this one) | Necklace: Unknown (BaubleBar has a fantastic version here) | Rings: gorjana (here & here) | Bracelet: gorjana | Studs: gorjana 

There's something about Chucks that immediately take your outfit to that next 'cool' level. I have abnormally large feet for a girl (...ok they're pretty proportionate to my height but I like to pretend I'm much shorter than I really am) and I was always afraid to sport Chucks as I thought they made my feet look extra clown-like. 

I learned a trick last year - buy men's sized Converse! They're 'small' for men so they don't look as long and goofy as the women's larger sizes. Now, I'm no scientist but this little discovery makes me think my feet look much smaller when wearing my Chucks...at least that's what I keep telling myself!

We're off to Barcelona for the long weekend - I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning! Anyone have any must-see (aka must-shop) spots for us to check out?!?

Follow along on our trip with us on Instagram.

Happy Labor Day friends!

Lost

Shirt: H&M (I stole it from the boyfriend's closet..shh, don't tell! Get some more feminine styles here here & here ) | Jeans: Rich & Skinny | Boots: Rag & Bone | Bag: gorjana | Necklaces: gorjana (here, here & here) | Rings: gorjana (here & here) | Bracelet: gorjana
 
So, these photos were taken immediately after I lost my phone...yup, no bueno! I had been dying to go visit the Round Tower since I arrived and this morning we finally had the chance to climb the thing! Well, had I known I would've left my phone at the top, I would've reconsidered going... That's the 2nd phone in 6 months I've lost - I think I'm single-handedly supporting Verizon Wireless' Insurance company! 

Good thing I have my iPad?!? 

I am pretty bummed about the whole thing but trying not to let it get me down...I mean, I am in Copenhagen after all! I'll deal with reality tomorrow...

Silo

Top: WGACA (old, lusting after this blouse now) | Jeans: J Brand | Boots: Via Spiga | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff (Eying this beauty for Fall) | Earrings: gorjana | Necklaces: gorjana (here & here) | Rings: gorjana (here & here) | Bracelets: gorjana (here & here)

Welp, Summer has officially left Scandinavia! It's been raining all morning which gave us the idea of shooting in the middle of these huge silos turned apartments on the river (there's a photo of the buildings on my Instagram if you want to check it out).

Planning a getaway this weekend to warmer climate - can't wait to de-layer (that's totally not a real word), throw my bikini on and enjoy the first weekend of September!

Seriously can't believe August is almost over!

Love Story


Top: Dolan | Jeans: J Brand (Love Story) | Shoes: Coach (old, similar style here) | Clutch: Clare Vivier (computer bag used as clutch)| Necklace: gorjana | Studs: gorjana | Bracelets: gorjana (here & here) | Rings: gorjana & unknown (similar styles here, here & here) | iPhone Case: HauteCase (coming soon)

J Brand has some amazing jeans (obviously) but the fit of the Love Story is definitely my favorite - they're long (long enough for me to wear heels with which is unheard of!), have an amazing flare and are a nice break from my daily skinnies.

Just a quick post today. Despite being abroad, I'm still working and have so many things to get caught up on. I find it so hard to stay motivated when there's an amazing city out there waiting for me to explore! 

How do you stay motivated while away from home?
