Bloglovin and Tumblr

I've been meaning to get around to this for a while, but I finally got some "fall cleaning" done for my blog, and I've created a bloglovin and tumblr to go along with this blog! If you sign up for bloglovin and follow this blog, you'll get updates whenever I post something new on here. If you follow me on tumblr, I'll probably update you all myself when I post new things, and you'll also get to see my polyvore creations and other things that I see and reblog - basically, randomness.

 

So yeah. I'm trying to make this more organized and easier for everyone on here. Let me know what you think!

Find the Nomads

So I'm not sure if you know this, but I'm a bit of an internet nerd. I spend way too much time on my computer, and one of the things I love to do (like much of you, I'm sure) is watch youtube videos. There are some youtubers that I absolutely adore, and I follow them on instagram, twitter, etc. One of my favorites is Fun for Louis, which is actually the second, vlog-type channel to Food for Louis, and just started selling t shirts online, and I absolutely love them!

 

Since I'm usually very picky with my graphic t shirts, I thought Louis did a great job with these! I really like everything, but I thought I'd share my two favorites (that hopefully I'll be ordering soon) with you all.

 

The first is the Palm Tree Pocket T-shirt Grey. It comes in white and grey, but I prefer the grey just because I already have some white graphic t shirts, and most of my bras are colorful, and since I'm lazy its helpful to have some shirts that are not at al see through. I would pair this with some high waisted cut off denim shorts, some Tomes, a messy bun, and some aviators for a cute and casual summer look. For the winter, I would wear it with a pair of black jeans, some black moto boots, and my oversize cream biker jacket.

 

The second piece is the Peace Out, Enjoy Life T-shirt. I love the saying across the front, and paired with the cute yellow background and a little cartoon mountain for the A in adventure, I was immediately sold. In the summer time, I would pair this top with a skater skirt (preferably black or denim, but I honestly think any color would work), a light grey sweater, and some black t-strap sandals. When it gets colder, I would wear this with some distressed boyfriend jeans, a leather jacket, a cute white fluffy scarf, and some converse or tennis shoes in a light color.

 

 I honestly can not wait to get my hands on some of these t shirts! At around £20 each, these shirts are a pretty great deal if you're in the UK.

 

Let me know what you guys think! Are you planning on ordering some? Comment below!

Style Icon: Edie Campbell

Edie Campbell is a British model who's style is absolutely gorgeous. She rocks an eclectic mix of boho and menswear pieces, tied in with other trends that creates a very British look.

To get Edie's look, you only need a few interesting staple pieces, paired together in interesting ways.

First, start with some palazzo pants - printed or solid. Add in a classic colored skater skirt, and you've got your bottoms sorted. For tops, Edie loves loose boho inspired pieces, so stick with some cute cropped flowy pieces. For dresses, she loves shift dresses with flared sleeves. Add in a cute oversized bomber jacket or parka, and some chunky shoes in neutral color, and you've got a nicely sized, Edie Campbell inspired wardrobe. 

Let me know what you think of her style - do you love it, or not so much?

New York City

On Monday, I'll be flying out to New York to hang out and shop in the city with my cousins, and I am so excited! I've already figured out exactly what I'm bringing with me.

Since I'll be in New York in July, I'm bringing an assortment of clothes for weather varying from thunder storms(I'll also bring a rain jacket) to crazy crazy heat. On a more practical note, I'm bringing shoes that are cute and good for walking, and a watch because watches are always useful. And of course, it's New York City, so you've got to try your best to be stylish. 

I'll only be in NY for five days, including the days I fly there and back, I'm bringing as few clothes as possible. That way, I can go shopping and bring back tons of cute clothes.

Love,

Caro

Style Icon: Twiggy

Nineteen sixties British supermodel Twiggy (real name Lesley Lawson) was the embodiment of the mod movement. With her boyish figure and big doe eyes, she captured the hearts of photographers and designers around the world. 

Now, I felt that I should put a disclaimer in here: Twiggy has a very thin body type, and her body type is not attainable and healthy for everyone. If your body is naturally very similar to Twiggy's, then that's great. If it's not, then that's great too. Every body type is beautiful, and every body type can wear this look.

Twiggy was famous for wearing mod shift dresses or swing dresses. Depending on your body type, you will want to go for a more fitted or more loose shape (whichever you feel your best in, really). Personally, because my boobs and my hips are my widest parts and about the same size, I like to go for swing dresses. The great thing about this look, though, is there are so many different shapes and styles, colors and patterns that you can find, it will suit just about everybody. If you would rather go for pants or shorts, for Twiggy's look you would want to stick to looser fitting pieces, with higher neck lines on the top and either wide leg trousers or tailored shorts. For coats, swing coats and pea coats are your best options. Pair it with some simple ballet flats or classic chelsea boots, and you've got a great outfit. Of course, it wouldn't be a true sixties mod outfit without some oversized round sunglasses. I have a pair myself, and they are so much fun.

And there you have it. My take on how to get a Twiggy inspired look. I hope you enjoyed it!

Love,

Caro

Style Icon: Emma Stone

Emma Stone: this style icon really doesn't need much of an introduction if you haven't been living under a rock for the past few years. She's hilarious and fun, and more than an awesome personality she has a cool sense of style. 

I absolutely love Emma's street style. From day to day she lives in jeans and a top, and when it gets colder she adds a cardigan or a cute jacket. For events, especially recently, she rocks a timeless, 1940's inspired glamour in her dresses and her hair and makeup.

To get Emma's look you need a lot of basics, like dark wash jeans, loose and comfy t-shirts, collared shirts, and jumpers. You can mix and match anything from these basics, and you have a cute simple outfit! Then, to add something extra, you can layer on a cardigan or a boyfriend jacket or a biker style jacket with an interesting print. For shoes, Emma loves ballet flats and brogues for most of the year, and some simple sandals when it gets warmer. Add a large tote in a neutral color to any of these outfits, and you have an Emma Stone inspired casual look. She doesn't wear a lot of skirts or dresses casually, but she almost always wears them for events. For a more formal look, stick to 1940's inspired dresses and skirts. 

The thing that I love most about Emma's style is how relatable it is. I could wear anything that she has worn and feel completely comfortable in it. 

What do you guys think of Emma's style? Do you love it, or is it too simple for your taste?

Love,

Style Icon: Mollie King

I felt it was time for me to write a post about a style icon who was a little more modern, and who better than Mollie King from The Saturdays? She is just so adorable and british, and every time she goes out she looks impeccable.

Her style is very girly, preppy, and classic. She wears certain trends, but she never overdoes it, and as a result her outfits could fit into many different eras of style. She loves prints, especially polka dots, collars, and statement jackets.

For jackets, I kept it simple and classic, with a tan trench coat and a black moto jacket. For dresses and rompers, I chose a leather look shift dress (which is perfect because leather and leather look is a trend, but shift dresses are classic) and a lace romper. Mollie loves big bags,, that are held on the wrist, in neautral colors that can be paired with anything. For shoes, she wears heels pretty much all the time, mainly classic pumps and heeled booties, but for some flat shoes you could try some brogues or ballet flats with a cute little bow. And finally, she loves statement and printed shorts and skirts, so I put a few options up in varying styles - a standard denim hot short in a girly color, a pair of culottes in a neutral color, and a pair of patterned cotton hot shorts. 

Some items I didn't include but are essentials to get Mollie's style are classic blue jeans, white or neutral shirts or t shirts, and t shirt dresses. But, I figured that these are pretty standard wardrobe pieces, so I left them out of the polyvore set.

What are your thoughts on Mollie King's style?

Love,

My First Flat!

So, as a few of you may know, I've just finished my first year of University this past year. And I have to be honest, the thing I'm probably looking forward to most this coming year is having my own flat! No more living in my parents house (apart from the summer, of course) and no more halls or dorm rooms!

It's a cute little flat, in a great location near my uni, with a friend of mine who's also a physics major. One of the best things about a new place, though, is decorating. And while I don't get to do a crazy amount of redecorating, because it is a rental, I am looking forward to putting my own flair on it.

My plan for this new room of mine is posters, blankets, pillows, and comforters, and maybe some curtains for my window. In my dorm room this year, I wasn't allowed to hang any posters up anywhere, and the walls looked so blank and boring it was horrible. On top of that, I get to actually use my scented candles this year, which will be nice. 

And last but certainly not least, the closet and dresser. I haven't actually had a dresser for quite a few years now, and I'm getting very excited at the prospect of having drawers to put clothes in again (is that terribly dorky of me?). And the closet, is a gorgeous (albeit tiny) walk-in closet. I have about a million hangers, and to actually see my dresses and coats and jackets all hung up and nice in the closet, and my t-shirts and jeans all folded up in those dresser drawers will be so satisfying. 

I can't wait to move in!

Are any of you guys moving or redoing your rooms this year? If so, share with me! I love seeing these kinds of things.

Love,

Caro
