I love the juxtaposition of the ripped jeans with the feminine florals on top.

Running on a Budget

I know everyone has had the thought, "If I buy cute workout clothes, then I will go to the gym more." But, the problem is you can't walk into Lululemon or Nike without dropping $100 dollars. If you are like me you don't have that kind of money to spent on clothes that you are just going to sweat in. So, my solution is to shop at TJMaxx or Marshalls.

My top and leggings are both from TJMaxx and the total was $28 dollars!

Hopefully, I helped you save a few bucks!

I love shopping at TJMaxx, you never know what you will find.

There are always unique things!

Have a great day,

Kara

Little Vaca In Jersey

This past Monday my roommate, Nikki and I went down to visit our other roommate, Erin in New Jersey for a mini vacation. We went for two nights and drove back in the afternoon on Wednesday. 

On Monday, Erin showed us around her town she grew up in. Where she went to school and all her favorite spots. Her mother made us an awesome home cooked meal and we just caught up with what is going on in our summer lives. For me, all I do is work, work, work (haha)! Later that night Nikki and I got to meet Erin's high school girlfriends and we all hung out together. 

On Tuesday, we took a trip to Bradley Beach for a relaxing beach day. It was the perfect day it wasn't too hot and there was a nice wind blowing! One of those days where you can't tell if you are burning or not. Don't worry none of us got burnt, we were careful. The girl that was near us wasn't, by the time we left her whole body was as red as a lobster!

Before we went back to the house we grabbed some dinner at a local Mexican/ Hawaiian restaurant called FINS. It was so good, highly recommend trying it if you are around the area. I got the crab tacos with chips and salsa. Also, I ordered the Lulu's Crazy Kick Out smoothie! 

On Wednesday, we slept in a little bit, packed up the car and before we got back on the road we stopped for breakfast at Bagels 4 U. Another great place in New Jersey, I got the cinnamon burst bagel with a vanilla chi tea latte. 

Over all, I had an amazing trip so glad I got to see my roommates from college! I miss them so much, you don't realize it until you are back home doing our own thing and don't see them 24/7. 

Hope I gave you some new food places to try if you plan on traveling to New Jersey or you live close!

Thanks for reading,

Tips For Planing An Event

At my college, I'm in this fashion club called, International Fashion Society. Every year, we hosted a fashion show and all the proceeds go to charity. This year, our show was March 11, 2016 and I was the Fashion Show Coordinator, which means I planned the whole show! Planning an event is very stressed and time consuming! Here are some tips I learned that helped me through the process that could help you for your next event!

1. Stay Organized: Keep a binder for all the receipts, contacts and papers that you consume. Also, have a folder on your flash drive for all the documents you make.

2. Make a Timeline: Before you start anything, plan out what you have to get done right away and things you can wait to do later. 

3. Keep in Contact: Keep in touch with everyone you hire for your event. If the time or day for the event changes, you will need to contact them and see if they are able to still come. Also, they might cancel on you so; you will need time to find a replacement. 

4. Make Lists: Lists really helped me! I had a list for everything; I had one for what we had and what we needed. I had one for everything that needed to be done the day of the show, one for everyone's job, etc. 

5. Don't Bark Orders: If you yell or be mean to people they will not want to help you. For my event, a lot of people were volunteers so, I was very grateful they were there and wanted to help with the event. A "please and thank you" goes a long way!

6. You Can't Do Everything: You almost always have a team to help you. Give everyone a job because you can't do it all. If you do, you will pull your hair out and lose your mind! Trust me, if you divide up the work it will get done faster and make your life less stressful. 

Our fashion show last Friday went great and I'm so proud of it! Our theme for the show was whimsical, bohemian and dreamy. Our charities were the Ethan Henry Lecours Foundation and a trust fund set up for the daughter of a Johnson & Wales Marketing Professor, Susan Cox, who in 2012 passed away from her second battle with breast cancer.

Here are some pictures from the event!

My Favorite Looks from the 2015 BillBoard Music Awards

Here are some of my favorite looks I saw on the Red Carpet for the Billboard Music Awards. As a whole I saw a lot of skin from deep V's, and cut outs everywhere! Personally, I think less is more with showing skin. Therefore, there isn't any skin showing in the favorites I picked. 

First we have Oliva Culpo and Nick Jonas.
       I absolutely love Olivia's romper, I think it flatters her really nicely and for Nick well he looks good in anything!

Liz Hernandez

       I think she is rocking this edgy two piece and the plum lip just completes the whole look.

Ludacris

       This co-host is looking very sharp. I'm a sucker for bow ties, I think they look so clean on guys!

Kerri Kasem

        I think the floral design going down the front is so pretty. She looks beautiful.
