Replay: Songs I can't stop listening to.

    Hello, Lovelies!
    Everyone has been asked before, "What's your favorite song?" Some people might answer with a classic song that everyone likes, such as, Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan. Or with a song that is meaningful to them like Imagine by John Lennon.
    Well, I never have an answer to this question. I either say "I don't have a favorite song", or "Hmmm, let me think about it" and then never give an answer. So, I've decided to make a list of my favorite songs right at this moment. These are songs that have been on replay on my phone for at least a week. I literally can't stop listening to them!
   
Pompeii - Bastille

Can I Stay - Ray LaMontagne

Glamorous Indie Rock and Roll - The Killers

Counting Stars - OneRepublic

Take a Walk - Passion Pit

Bold is out. Simple is in.

    Hello, Lovelies!
    Fashion is a very important thing in my life. So keeping up with trends and fads are a must. As most of you probably know, last year anything bold was what made a statement. This year however, bold has been banished from the fashion scene. White, pastels, sheer fabric, and simple construction are this season's inspiration. Block patterns and monochrome are also playing a role in the trends this season.
    Simple, understated, and elegant are the three words that come to mind when looking at this seasons mood.

Fashion Essentials for the Everyday Woman

Hello, Lovelies!
Audrey Hepburn coined the basic look. The boat-neck tees with cigarette pants and flats. The classic look never has and never will go "out." No matter what your personal style is, there are a few essential pieces every woman should have in her closet. With these pieces, you can create an entire wardrobe around them and can pretty much be set for any occasion. All of the examples I'm using today are all from J. Crew because who has a better selection of affordable, good quality basics than them? I think no one! Hope you enjoy!

Skinny Jeans
(Toothpick Jean in Pitch Black Wash - $125)
Black, white, navy, denim, colored, patterned, etc. No matter what kind they are an absolute essential. They look good with pretty much anything and are probably the most versatile item a woman can have in her closet. 

LBD
(Tipped Gamine Dress - $138)
A little black dress is so crucial to a women's wardrobe. The simplicity of it is so amazing. It can be dressed up with heels, jewelry, and a colored blazer or dressed down with flats and a scarf. 

Blazer
(Double-breasted Schoolboy Blazer - $188)
Speaking of blazers, this piece is perfect for any occasion. It adds a bit of formality to every outfit making everything seem much more polished and put together. I highly recommend something like this!

Flats
(Cece Leather Ballet Flats - $138)
A comfortable pair of flats are so important for any woman. After spending a day in heels you just need a little comfort and flats are the perfect solution for that.

Button-Up Shirts
(Stretch Perfect Shirt in End-On-End - $72)
Not only are these extremely comfortable, they look great on everyone and can be dressed up or down with pretty much anything. 

Heels
(Everly Suede Pumps - $245)
Next, a good pair of heels. Black preferable, but any will do. Pumps, wedges, platform., they come in all shapes and sizes and are an essential in any woman's wardrobe.

Chambray Shirt
(Keeper Chambray Shirt in Dark Rinse - $78)
Buttoned, as an overlay, or tied around the waist, this versatile piece has just recently become a must-have and essential in women's fashion.

All my love,
Hailey
