5 Noteworthy Bags For Winter

My black, Zara city bag has been a great everyday bag for a couple of years now. Thankfully, it's also holding up well and I'm sure it will be my staple bag for a while. Though, recently, I've been getting that itch for something new. I've never personally been a 'bag-lady' but sometimes you need something that's a little more unique and brings some color to your outfit. Here's a few I've noted in my searches.

I'm very attracted to ModCloth's bags. They have a great selection of classic, structures in a variety of colors. I can't resist the straight out of a vintage boarding school look. The Zara bag is a bit more unique and great for a night out. The dark blue color and embroidery also reminds me of Hermione's bag.

I've been having a bit of a red moment and it has worked its way into my choice of bags. BritStich has a great selection of buckle-front bags in a variety of sizes and colors, that all look stunning. I also have a soft spot for 90% of Madewell's items. Their purses are equally gorgeous and practical. I could seriously fill that tote up.

I hope a bag makes it way to your Christmas list,

Jewelry Roundup

As my style evolved these past few years, I have pretty much completely ignored jewelry. In high school I knew I wanted to depart from my usual, big, costume jewelry but that's as far as I got. I wanted something a little more sophisticated and stylish, but I didn't really know where to go beyond that idea, so jewelry has been missing from my outfits for awhile. 

Recently, I figured out that I need to seek out jewelry that's pretty simple but still has a bit of quirk to it and spend a little more money than I used to (no more raiding Forever21). So as I continue to figure out what types of jewelry suits me I thought I'd roundup some of the jewelry I'm currently eyeing. Take a peek:

In Fair Verona

The title of this post may seem obvious or even cliche but there isn't a more appropriate title.  Verona is without a doubt the most gorgeous city I have ever seen. It's truly unbelievable how pretty everything is. My favorite part was the Ancient Roman ruins where I took these photos. Going up all the ridiculously tall stairs were worth it for the view.  If you're thinking about going to Italy keep in mind Verona for a nice, relaxing weekend trip. 

I totally felt like Indian Jones

Blue Space

I took a little break from blogging and social media in general because I was a bit overwhelmed with school, but despite the time crunches I'm really glad to get back in the swing of things. So, starting off slow here's a quick outfit post. I love this outfit so much for it's simplicity and I'm surprisingly loving not wearing black for a second. I particularly like the shirt because it's much thicker than other cheaper shirts, and I know it'll be around for awhile. Looks like my new obsession is Madewell tops.
