My Picks: Spring & Summer Lip Colors

Now’s the time to try that orange or magenta lip color that you’ve been shying away from! When I think about spring and summer lip colors, I think bright, bold, and fun! I’m going to list some of my favorite stains, glosses, and a lipstick as well as some swatches and a few photos of me wearing them. Hopefully you see one that you want to try! XO Catherine 1. Josie Maran Argan High Gloss Lip Quench in “Pink Honey” (part of…

Spring Trend: Culottes

A trend that is pretty popular for this spring is culottes. Before this year I didn’t even know what culottes were but they’ve been around for a while and were popular in the 1960s! The best way to describe them is to say that they are elongated shorts that flow like a skirt; they’re really comfortable too! I purchased these at Marshall’s about 2 weeks ago; they have great deals on spring trends. I decided to wear wedge heels with this look because culottes…

Retro Inspired Spring Look

Hello Fashionistas, hope you all had a great weekend. I’m so happy that spring is finally here because now I can go back to wearing my fun, bright outfits! I wore this outfit to lunch and while running some errands. I wasn’t trying to go for a retro look but after I put this on and looked in the mirror I thought, this kind of has a retro vibe. I was thinking it resembles the style in the mid…

Spring Look: Patchwork Jeans

Hello everyone! It’s Monday and it’s a little cold today here in Charlotte but nonetheless Spring is here and I wanted to share this look with you guys. When you think of patches on jeans it seems a little outdated but it can actually look stylish; it really depends on the fit of the jeans and what you pair them with. I think this look is great for spring, perfect for a day when it’s warm but not too hot. I’m…

Favorite Spring 2015 Handbags

Hello everyone, I hope you all are having a nice weekend. Spring will be here before you know it and I want to share with you all my favorite designer handbags for spring 2015. Most of these designer handbags are costly so for some I have posted similar and more affordable options; I couldn’t find similarities for all of them. Even if you are not looking to spend a high amount on a handbag, you can use these designer handbags…

The Greek Festival

Hello everyone! I hope you guys are having a wonderful Wednesday 🙂 It’s been cloudy here the past couple of days and the humidity is still lingering but it’s starting to feel a little cooler (thank god!). I know it’s been awhile since I’ve done a blog post but my school work load is getting heavier, so I’ll most likely be doing my blog posts between Wednesday and Saturday. This past weekend I went to the annual Yiasou Greek Festival located at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox…

Tribal Trousers

Hello everyone, I hope you guys had a wonderful labor day weekend! Not only was it nice being off on Monday but that means the school/work week is shorter 🙂 I bought these tribal pattern pants I’m wearing about a week ago from a boutique in Phillips Place here in Charlotte called K la. The best way to describe Phillips Place is an outdoor shopping center with restaurants that has a European look. I’ve been there numerous times to go to the movie theater and to Dean & DeLuca but…

Out & About On A Friday Afternoon

This outfit is perfect for a summer or spring day. It’s still very hot here in North Carolina; it was about 90 degrees today! If you’re going to be outside for the…

Transitioning into Fall

Hello everyone and Happy Monday! Monday’s aren’t usually that happy but so far today hasn’t been so bad. I’m at school today and not working so that’s a plus and it’s absolutely beautiful outside! You can tell there’s a hint of autumn in the air; it’s sunny, breezy, lower humidity, and just a few degrees cooler. This brings me to my look: a maxi skirt and a crop top. Maxi skirts are a great transition piece between the seasons; whether…
