Warby Parker: Home Try-On Program

A couple of weeks ago I went to the Warby Parker site to select 5 glasses from their 'home try-on program'. You basically get to select 5 glasses you'd like to try and they send it to you for free (you only put your card info so that they can hold $1 to ship and then they take it out, so yep...ZERO dollars, FREE FREE FREE!) After 5 days, you send the bad boys back with the return label they kindly already have ready for you. I've been pretty familiar with the Warby brand and have wanted to get a couple pairs of glasses because of how inexpensive they are, but I wanted to try them on at first and see how they fit my face shape. I'm such a creature of habit with my wayfarer Rayban glasses, so this try-on was what was needed to freshen up my style a little. I decided to pair up super quick and causal (everyday) outfits around the glasses I chose. Underneath the pictures you can click on the style to see them on the site. Definitely going to be buying some from the 5 that I picked! Plus, for every pair that you buy, a pair is given to someone in need :)

Instarecap + Life

I seriously cannot stop listening to my favorite people "Data Romance" and their fabulous CD "Other".

I've been having the weirdest time trying to balance work + life when I just want to go home and sleep at the end of the day; let's not even talk about how it takes me an hour to an hour and a half to go to work and the same time to come home...and that's with me living in the city. Born and raised in Chicago - whoopwhoop! And yes, the actual city. 

Anyways, I've been in a lingering hiatus from updating my blog but I do update randomly but more frequently on Instagram. I'm a photo girl anyways and it's just easy to snap, upload and keep my day going. 

Getting back into the swing of things is hard, but I have some exciting projects for this blog coming up and life in general seems to be taking unexpected twists and turns. So here's a little quick instarecap into what's been up. 

If you want the synopsis without reading the end: shopping & eating.

From left to right:

1// Got new sunnies from UrbanOutfitters

2//Possibly my all time favorite boots that are filling the void of the Chloe's that I STILL WANT

3//My awesome Nike Dunk Sky Hi's that I got as a gift from da' best person eva

4//I bit the bullet and bought a Wildfox sweater and I'm not going to even think about the price...(yeah, even the sale price hurt a bit)

5//Before I bought the blue skeleton Wildfox sweater, I bought a fake Wildfox sweater lookalike (shipping was a bitch, and I definitely got it for $20)

6//New lipstick from MAC always make me so happy, it's the same one from my last post

7//Finally tried the Blue Print juice and I'm 50/50 about it - it did make me want to buy a juicer and just throw healthy looking things in there...worth the $10? NO

8//Scored 2 sweet UNIF tees at UO on sale from $70 t0 $20 ea. My love for UNIF has no limit.

9//I've been eyeing this hologram styled clutch by Deena & Ozzy since it hit the store but I forgot about it, went shopping and found it for $6 - it's online for a little bit more here

10//F21 pants that feel like PJs and only cost me $3 were such a great purchase - and yeah, I wore them to work

11//Wicker Park day dates that involve margaritas are the best kind

12// I FUCKING LOVE FROYO, OK? COOL

Sounds Like Noise

Happy Friday! I'm pretty sure I jinxed myself in the last post where I talked about Chicago weather getting better because it has been gloomy all.week.long. At least something bright came into my life - the newest addition to my lipstick collection named "Sounds Like Noise" by MAC. On their website they say:

"Colour plus texture for the lips that made M·A·C famous. Limited-edition shade of Sounds Like Noise, a true bright orange inspired by Hayley Williams."

It was an online exclusive/limited edition & inspired by the awesome Hayley Williams from Paramore, so you know that means - I had to have it. I definitely agree that it is a true orange - not reddish, not pinkish, but a real orange on your lips. It says it's a "matte" finish, but I think it's a bit creamier than matte and that's a-okay with me. One thing to consider when buying: it definitely settles on the lines/cracks of your lips - so you better scrub your lips and moisturize before putting this baby on! Final verdict? I'm in love.

PS: Sorry for the shit lighting in these photos.

What I Wore To Work Yesterday

The title says it all, doesn't it? 100% of the time I never am able to take any OOTD's for my blog if it's a full work-week. I thought I'd take a couple quick photos on my phone to post on here since it'd be kind of interesting to see how "put together" I might look as a "young professional" - but who am I kidding? Anything too constraining and adult-y feels so uncomfortable to me. I wore a messy bun...that says it all.

Anyways, here's a quick phone photo recap of what I wore to work yesterday.

Obsession alert: Totally into midi rings at the moment!

Bonjour!

Pastel Dreams Lookbook | Photos

I know there's been a gap in between my posts but I'm getting back into the swing of things - life has been like a roller-coaster recently. Also, I finally turned 23 and had the best birthday I could have asked for. This is my MJ year, and let's hope it's as stellar as Michael Jordan's career, haha. 

This post is the picture version of the lookbook video I posted a while ago that you can watch here!

PS: Happy the weather in Chicago is starting to slowly feel like Spring.

Pastel Dreams Lookbook | Video

 Decided that I needed to re-inspire myself to stop wearing black too much, so I got my most "pastel" clothes and created this lookbook. It's not meant to be a Spring lookbook, but I see how it can be taken that way. Also, as I live in Chicago, it is still SNOWING/COLD at the end of March so some of these outfits might not be totally appropriate for the weather in your location, but hopefully you can find some inspiration from it. Enjoy!

PS: Watch in HD!
