STYLE SPOTLIGHT - Holland Roden

This month I'm starting something that I hope to update every couple months. 

My style has always been inspired by a number of things; music, television, and of course celebrity style. Typically it varies and changes quite often but over the past few months a particular celeb's style has really stood out to me and that is MTV Teen Wolf's Holland Roden. 

Now, I wasn't always a huge fan of Holland's style. For a while she was into tighter fitting skirts and flowing blouses but even with those two stand-outs her style was kind of all over the place. Recently however, she's definitely come into her own style and is looking more comfortable in her own skin and that is definitely helping! Her style has become so much of an inspiration for me that I've even purchased some of her exact outfits!

Here are a few of my favorite recent style moments from Holland!

ATLANTA - EYECON CONVENTION

This past weekend one of my very best friends and I headed to Atlanta, Georgia for Eyecon Convention. This particular Eyecon Convention was centered around one of my very favorite television shows MTV's Teen Wolf. While we were there we were able to walk around the city, meet some of the Teen Wolf cast and make new friends! It was by far one of the best weekends I've ever had and I'm so sad it's over! But, I have so many great pictures from the trip to relive it through!

BANGERZ TOUR

On March 24th I went to Miley Cyrus' Bangerz Tour with my best friends, mom and sister. I am a HUGE Miley fan so I was going into this show with super high expectations. Miley exceeded any and all expectations I had! My seats were spectacular (Thanks Mom!) and the package that came with the tickets were so fun!

Here are a few pictures from the show: 

How to Style: Tartan Sneakers!

Lately everyone has been wearing street style sneakers! Topshop, H&M, Steve Madden and tons of other designers all have put out their version of this shoe. From pony hair to quilted leather to snakeskin, this shoe has definitely been a hit! However, my post today is going to focus on Steve Madden's version with tartan fabric! 

They're very 'on trend' but I think they can work all year round! Here's a few different ways to wear them throughout the seasons.

November/December Favorites!

I unfortunately lost track of time and forgot to post my November favorites! Because of that I decided to combine November and December into one post.

1. TAZO Organic Iced Green Tea: This drink is so refreshing! I love having one on my desk at work.

2. Old Navy Flip Flops: I know what you're thinking - flip flops in winter? - but, that's Florida for you! These are so comfy and show off my pedicure just right. And they're CHEAP!

3. One Direction and James Blake: These musicians are on the complete opposite ends of the spectrum but I've been loving both lately! The title track from 1D's Midnight Memories is so fun and James Blake's 'A Case of You' has a very somber mood but both are fantastic. 

4. Purple Lippy: I have been LOVING a bit of purple lipstick lately! Revlong Colorstay and Maybelline Color Whispers have great shades that I am obsessed with. 

5. TGI Bed Head - Epic Volume Conditioner: This conditioner has been a lifesaver it makes my hair so smooth and tangle free and it smells AMAZING!

6. Iphone 5: I know by now everyone is moving onto the 5s and 5c but my 5 has been so useful as of late. I've been using it to read on the go, keep track of my to-do lists and count down to upcoming events. I'm so grateful to have this. 

Book Review: Eleanor & Park; Openly Straight; Fangirl

Eleanor & Park - Rainbow Rowell:

This week I started with the novel Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell. Set in the 80's this book spans one school year for the title characters. A red head with big hair and big-ish everything else and a half-asian boy who's not really sure what that's supposed to mean to him end up sitting together on the bus and it goes from their. This book was heartwarming and heartbreaking. I myself have never been in love but reading this makes me think that I have an idea of what it feels like.

8/10

Openly Straight - Bill Konigsberg

Openly Straight is funny and interesting. Konigsberg does a great of balancing out humor and intellect. He explores the ins and outs of discovering yourself and then being true to who you are. A fantastic coming out and coming of age story. With quick witted character, sensitive jocks and quirky best friends Openly Straight has easily become one of my new favorite books.

7.5/10


Fangirl - Rainbow Rowell

Out of all three books I read this week Fangirl was the story I was most able to relate to. The main character, Cather or Cath, is quiet, introverted and in a relationship with fanfiction and 18 years old. All of those things I would say are the same about myself. This book has wormed it's way into the section of my bookshelf reserved for favorites. Filled with ups and downs and excellent one liners - I love a good one-liner - Fangirl exceeded all expectations I had set for it and set high expectations for any book I read hereafter.

October Favorites!

October is finally coming to a close! Since today is the last day of the month I though I would post this months favorites! Enjoy!

1. Coke Zero. I love this because it tastes far better than Diet Coke in my opinion. And, it's better for you than a regular coke. 

2. These booties from H&M have become a fall favorite! They have just the right balance between dressy and casual.

3. Bangerz! Miley's new music is so edgy yet still manages to remain soulful and emotional.

4. Pinafore style playsuits paired with tights are perfect for fall! The tights help make the transition from summer to fall and keep you warmer!

5. Revlon has some great products right now. Their ColorStay Concealer and ColorStay Gel Eyeliner have been an everyday ritual this past month.

6. This bag from H&M is quickly becoming my favorite bag that I own. A perfect amount of space inside with a leather look exterior that can be dressed up or down.

Happy Halloween!
