NYE

I'm getting excited for New Years Eve, especially planning what I'm going to wear. This year, I'm planning on a wide leg jumpsuit, with a faux fur cropped jacket and statement earrings. Like a modern American Hustle vibe. I love jumpsuits because they are chic and comfortable. I'm tired of wearing a sequin mini dress that I have to pull down every few minutes and scratches my arms. I put a few sequin options below though ;). I still love embellishments, but I'm on the hunt for an embellished clutch instead.

Do you have any fun plans? A cozy night in? A small soiree? A huge warehouse party? Let me know!

WHAT I LOVE LATELY III

1. Hamsa Necklace $6 and Eye Ring $4, Brandy Melville - I have been on the hunt for a hamsa necklace for quite some time, and surprisingly, this cheapie one fit the bill. It's a nice midlength instead of a long, big pendant or short, small one. I figure it will tarnish eventually, but I'm all about it right now! I also love this tiny knuckle ring, I think it looks the eye on top of the pyramid on one dollar bills.

2. Saijo Persimmon Candle, Voluspa $27 - I actually bought this for my sister as a birthday gift, but I plan on buying it for my own apartment as well. It smells so fruity and delicious. I also really love how pretty the tin is. 

3. Espadrilles, J. Crew $30 - I finally got a pair of espadrilles. It took me awhile to decide on a color combination, but this navy and white striped pair seems to pair well with quite a bit in my closet. They are also very comfortable.

4. Bikini, American Eagle $30 - I was surprised at how cute American Eagle bikinis were, and I thought this one was perfect for my East Coast vacation. The ruffle detail is really adorable and the top is more supportive than I expected. 

5. Romper, TopShop $24 - I cannot rave about this romper enough. It is a light linen fabric and has very wide legs, so it looks more like a sundress than a romper. Also, the waist has a small fringe of pompoms that I didn't notice in the online photo. I wore it to the first day of Outside Lands and it was perfect. I can't wait to wear it again!

6. 'Vanity Fairest' and 'Clambake' Polish, Essie $8 each - I have been wearing bright polish on my fingers all summer, but now that I am interviewing for jobs I had to tone it down a bit. Vanity Fairest is a very pretty opalescent pink shade that looks both professional and feminine. Clambake is a great because it has an orange tone and it looks great against tan feet. I would love a lipstick this color too!

INTERIORS: NEUTRAL BEDROOM

I know I posted not too long ago about updating my bedroom decor, but I can't help but want to overhaul my whole room. I'm starting to jump on the neutral train -- along with everybody else! -- but I still love pattern and interesting pops of decor. I also have been thinking of how great it would be to have a vanity/dressing table. Right now I sit on the floor to do my makeup (classy and mature, right?) so having a vanity that could both hold my makeup and be a comfortable place to get ready would be wonderful. I don't have enough space for one in my current room, but I definitely want one in my next apartment.Unfortunately I'm not redecorating my room just about yet, but quite frankly it's really fun just to mock up some cute rooms.

TICKLE ME PINK

Obviously I couldn't do any holiday shopping without buying a few things for myself... and lucky for me, while at J. Crew they were having 30% off the whole store! I found this pretty pink shirt on sale for $29.99 (Which I was already shocked about, fo real), so at an extra thirty it came to $20. Cue victory dance here. I am obsessed. I am waiting for the perfect occasion to pair it with a black and white strip skirt that I have from The Gap for a cutesy little outfit with Kate Spade inspiration.
