Simply Vera

I was strolling through Kohl's the other day and saw this beautiful floral summer dress from Vera Wang's summer collection for "Simply Vera" . It has four navy panels to create dimension and movement and is perfect for the day straight into the night. I dressed this down to work last week by wearing a denim vest to add some texture, paired with my favorite ankle boots by Hinge from Nordstrom. This outfit will probably be on repeat again and again this summer and I'm not even ashamed to say it. Ha. 

The Sweater Weather Post

Three words: I. Love. Sweaters. Over-sized sweaters that is. I can't stress enough how hard it is for me this year to find the perfect sweater, but I finally found the winner for $20 at H&M which is such a steal. Rather than wearing it with leggings and classic tall boots, I decided to have fun with it by wearing a white skirt from a suit set of mine. This dresses down the skirt, but dresses up the sweater at the same time so you have the perfect combination of dressed up casual. Adding the knee high socks with my ankle boots and my favorite hat of course completes the whole look by giving it a sense of coziness. In the meantime, the hunt continues for more sweaters.

Jeffrey Campbell Melina Cut out Boot

If you can't opt for a pair of beautiful Alexander Wang booties, I found a perfect steal. These Nadine Suede booties are literally perfection and I can't tell you enough how obsessed I am with them, but me being a poor college student has left me financially handicapped at the moment. Today I stumbled across a pair of cut out ankle boots that resembled the Wang booties, but still had it's own sense of personality. Jeffrey Campbell just came out with a pair called the Melina Cutout Boot and I must say that I am kind of obsessing. 

Snow Day

Yes, I know my goal of posting every other day hasn't gone as planned, but don't fear, I'm still alive and well. Good news!! I got the the internship!! I start in June so there goes my summer pretty much. I'm really excited to have a change in scenery at work and to just meet new people too. I also modeled for my friend's boutique that is going to be launching online really soon!! It was so much fun so look out for the Lita Nicole boutique! I will be posting pics in the really near future. Other than that, it's been school and work day and night. Last week, my professor cancelled class 45 minutes before and by then the weather was already really bad. Almost got stranded, but at least I've would've been stranded in style. 

Latest Obsession: Cutout Ankle Boots

Balenciaga Buckle Ankle Boot

I can not get enough of these cutout ankle boots! 

They are the definition of perfect and go with everything.

 I must get myself a pair ASAP and wear it with an ethereal like dress 

and everything else in my closet. The Balenciaga pair might be a little out of budget, but I found a great substitute on Nasty Gal! Links below to a few of my faves!
