Recreate the Look: Heidi Klum

Vacation Essentials

In July, I will be jetting off to Italy (SO excited!) and over the past couple of months I have compiled a list of the things I will need that I thought I would share. What are your vacation essentials?

Luggage: My lack of good luggage really is a sad testament to how little I travel, but at least it gives me an excuse to buy some gorgeous DvF luggage! {DvF Luggage}

Sneakers: Okay so I already have sneakers..... buuuut they aren't nearly as cute as these! (which totally justifies the purchase, right?!) {Lauren Ralph Lauren Sneakers}

Dress: This dress is perfect for transitioning from day to night! {H&M Dress}

Crossbody Bag: Crossbody bags are a must for easy traveling! {Fossil Bag}

Camera: I've been needing a new camera for a while, and this is the perfect time. I probably won't be spending $500, but it's nice to dream... {Nikon Camera}

Sunscreen: Last, but not least, sunscreen is super important for keeping your skin healthy! {Neutrogena Sunscreen}

Ultimate Prom Guide.. not really

So I'm kind of the worst blogger ever, and I seriously do not know how all you other bloggers out there manage school, a job, and a social life!

Wanted: Cute Jackets

You know what I've realized? I am really good at finding things to spend money on. Current obsession: jackets.

Blazers by Forever 21
Coats by Arden B

Also currently obsessing over: Kate Middleton. Which might be playing into my coat obsession. I mean seriously, how chic does she look here?

In other news, I used the word "obsessed" three four times in this post, and spelled it wrong every time.

Ultimate Prom Guide!

So while I was at the mall this weekend, everything was about prom, prom, prom and I thought, "Hey wouldn't it be fun to do a prom dress shopping guide?!" Shopping for a prom dress is one of the funnest (most fun?) things to do and I am so excited to create a really thorough shopping guide! Here are some of the categories I think I'm going to do:

Simple
Unique
Princessy
Long/Short
Sweet
Fun
Funky/Edgy
Dream Dresses
And probably posts on shoes and accessories.

Any other suggestions? :)
