Holiday Dresses Under $100

Crushed Velvet Belle Sleeve Dress- Gabby Skye

I am all about velvet this holiday season, it looks classy, and can be dressed up with heels and jewels, or dressed down with tights and boots.

Fit & Flare Velvet Midi- Old Navy

$44.99

Gillian Shimmer A-Line Dress- Francesca's 

$48.00

I think metallic dresses are so great because THEY are the focal piece of the outfit, it doesn't take a lot to finish the look besides a great bag and maybe some earrings! 

Sequin TShirt Dress- Soprano

Jumpsuit with Pockets- J.Crew Factory

Twill Shirt Dress- Old Navy

I love this plaid dress because it's perfect for the more casual Thanksgiving or Christmas, but could totally be worn again! With boots and tights, I would wear this to work or school. And who can beat $36.99?!?!

My Favorite Spring Break Outfits

Well hello there my dear friends!
I am back from Florida, tan, blonde, and a little bit itchy (It's not spring break if you don't give yourself a little sun poisoning)
I really didn't go off the resort property much because I wanted to soak up as much sun as possible, however I did want to share 2 of my favorite outfits from the trip!

Outfit #1:
My first night I was lucky enough to meet up with one of my closest friends and wander around Disney Springs eating Mickey Ice Cream Bars and visiting all the cute little shops! It was actually a little chilly this evening so I decided on my classic Old Navy white V-Neck tee shirt, my favorite Ann Taylor LOFT navy knit skirt, my silver Jack Rogers sandals, and a basic light gray cardigan from H&M! As far as jewelry, I kept it simple with a silver bangle, and some flash tattoos!

Outfit #2:
On the 4th day, we decided to venture out to Celebration, the small community run by Disney. It's super cute and has a bunch of little boutiques and restaurants (including a macaron store... #blessed). I went with casual but cool, considering it was almost 90 degrees! My shorts are the J.Crew 3" chino short, in a super rich olive green color, and my purple and gray floral tank is from Ann Taylor LOFT. I paired that with some easy brown leather sandals with some gold detailing from Target, and finished off the look with a statement necklace from Forever 21!

Though it's not much, I hope this gives you some outfit inspiration for your upcoming trip! And if you're not going anywhere, don't  worry! Spring and summer are just around the corner!

The Ultimate 10 Reasons We're STILL Head Over Heels for Chuck Bass

1. The way he loves Blair- Kind of possessive, but also so endearing 

We love Chair. They are a match made in heaven. They are the creme de la creme of all relationship GOALS. Does he love her to the point of going a little crazy? Surely, but could you blame him? She's perfect, he's perfect, it's really unfair. 

You can't help but wonder, when to heck is someone pretty much equivalent to Chuck Bass, going to look at me all dreamy-eyed?! 

2. He has mastered The Smolder

It's absolutely incredible how with one look he can melt our hearts and drive us insane. 

HOW DOES HE DO IT? 

WHAT KIND OF MAGIC IS THIS?

3. HIS JAW

It could quite possibly cut glass. That's all I'm going to say. 

4. He is in fact, the Ultimate Bad Boy

There's something so bad ass about a guy who can throw a punch, do some drugs, and be so blah about it all. He says what he's thinking & he doesn't take crap from anyone 

5. He exudes confidence no matter what he's doing

The man struts down the street knowing exactly who he is, and exactly how good looking he is. Its remarkable really.

6. He's a loyal friend

No matter what he and Nate, Serena, Blair, hell even Dan go through, in the end, they are always there for each other, and ready to scheme until the cows come home. Their bond is what all of us admirers of the Upper East Side royalty wish we could have. 

7. He loves dogs

No commentary needed. 

8. He takes family very seriously
Not only is he hell bent on keeping his fathers name and business alive, but he's also always willing to do what he can to protect Lily and the family he has left. Though he's the typical 'Bad Boy' he has such strong morals, you can't help but imagine a future with Mr. Bass.

9. His style (Lets never forget the onesie)
When have you ever known a man to rock a bow-tie and also a onesie all in one day?! The man has impeccable taste from his designer suits to his tight shirts and suspenders

10. He's Chuck Bass.

Duh. 

Enjoy your sweet dreams about our beloved, pals
