Finally, the Kimono

Well, I finally found a kimono and I am pretty sure it will be one of my favorite spring finds! Once I saw that stores were coming out with a ton of cute kimonos for spring, I knew I had to have one. They are just so fun and easy to wear! I hope I can get my hands on a few more, and it should come to no surprise that I am envisioning about three different ones in my head as I type this; I am thinking some bright colors as well as some pastels! Any recommendations? Until I find more, here is how I wore my newest love in my closet! Be sure to follow me on instagram if you don't already-I uploaded a little preview of this post yesterday!

Outfit details: Kimono: H & M (similar) // Jeans: American Eagle // Bracelet: Old, Forever 21 // Watch: Relic // Cutout Booties: Steve Madden (similar style)  // Purse: Nine West (similar)

Would you wear a kimono like this? If so, how would you style it?

// Study Break

Oh well hi there! Can we just take a second and talk about how many posts I have coming up/in the process of planning/taking over my to-do list? All I have wanted to do as of lately is blog. This week school got in the way though, and I had a monster exam today. I am not lying when I say I literally didn't sleep last night. No sleep since Sunday! I can't wait until my head hits the pillow tonight! It will be an early day tomorrow with clinical, but I love my clinical rotation right now so I really look forward to it! In the spirit of studying and being a college student, today my outfit reflects what I would be in if I didn't have much going on, or if I had to study, but still needed to look like I had a semi-idea of what an outfit besides yogas and zip ups look like. Do many college students read this? I would love if you let me know, or sent me your blog links too so I can see what other blogging students are up to! Also, lets get excited that weather in Cincinnati was in the upper 50's today, and by Thursday it will be almost 70-what?! Then it is supposed to get cooler again. If you follow me on instagram (which you totally should!), then you would have seen the picture of my beloved Keds, just waiting for warmer weather. Can't. Wait.

**If you could vote for me in the American Eagle "Live Your Life" contest, I would be so grateful, every vote can make a difference in me advancing in the competition! The link to where you can vote is here; once you get there, log in with facebook  and then click the hearts under my pictures; you can vote for more than once!  If you do it, I would forever be thankful! Also, apparently you get a 20% off (and free shipping) coupon sent to your email! <3

Love the blue detailing around the zippers!

Cognac Love

Notice anything different around here?! Today I decided that I was tired of looking at the same template and layout that I have had on this blog for a year or more...it had ta goooo! I am so happy with the new design I have! It was premade from Mlekoshi Playground (no way I can design a whole new template right now...maybe in a few more months of playing around with HTML and stuff!) so it was fairly easy to use. I just need to personalize a few more things and tune it up, but for now, I love it! What do you think? Anyways, I am sharing one of my favorite combos as of late-cognac and navy. Those two colors together make my fashion heart just go to mush. Okay maybe not mush, but you get it!

Outfit details:

Top: Madewell // Jeans: BDG // Cognac Boots: Madden Girl // Earrings: World Market// Necklace: Forever 21 (old) 

Are you loving any color combos or trends right now? 

Thanks for reading,
