Outfit of the Day

Hey, everyone hope all is well. These past couple months has been super crazy with my classes, interviews, and work. Last weekend my sister came and visited me, we did a lot of shopping! I wanted to give you an outfit of the day with the dress I brought with her.

I got the dress from a store on Thayer St in Providence called Berk's Store. The company, Timing, is a wholesaler so I'm not sure where else they sell to. Here is a similar one. 

I got my cardigan from American Eagle but I did find a similar one on LuLu's.com

Sunglasses are from Francesca's,

And my booties are from T.J. Maxx's but I found a similar pair from Kohls!

Hope you a have a great day!

DressLily Haul

I got to work with Dress Lily for this blog post today! I was able to pick out three items from their website to style three different ways. 

DressLily is a leading international online fashion clothing and accessory store. They focus on the very latest fashion trends at an affordable price. DressLily features thousands of new products everyday, giving you the maximum amount of choices.You can find almost anything on their website from women's clothing to handbags to women's shoes at a reasonable price. 

The shipping was very fast and everything that I picked out looked exactly like the pictures on the website. 

My first outfit, I picked out this black leather backpack from DressLily. I paired it with a gray sweater, ripped jeans and converse. This outfit is great for a day in the city, its comfortable and hands free. 

For my second outfit, I picked these ankle boots and styled it with an pink flowy long sleeve shirt (similar), high-waisted jeans and a gold knotted necklace. This outfit would be cute for a weekend dinner with your friends. 

The last outfit, I picked out is this J.Crew look alike quitted vest.  I accessorized with a black sweater, tassel necklace (similar), high-waisted jeans and black booties. I wore this outfit to work and I got so many complements on the vest. Everyone thought it was from J.Crew but I was only $15 on DressLily. Just for reference I got a size medium. 

Hope you Enjoyed!

Can't believe how low DressLily's prices are, definitely check out their website. 

Send me pictures if you end up buying anything from DressLily.

Warby Parker X Kill Screen

Warby Parker and Kill Screen have paired up to launch a video game online and a pair of limited-edition eyeglasses!

Warby Parker’s first-ever—and totally free—video game can be played here. With the help of Highline Games, Warby Parker and Kill Screen designed a physics-based matching game. The object of the game is to match and clear groups of like-colored balls in a bowl. It is a pretty easy game and it is entertaining. I didn't want to stop, it is a great game to play if you are bored at work or in class! 

The limited-edition glasses, Burke in Glacier Grey, are crafted from premium cellulose acetate and equipped with lenses that have anti-scratch and anti-reflective coatings—which conveniently reduce the glare from screens.

These glasses are great for the person that likes to be different! You aren't going to see a lot of people wearing clear glasses, so these will be awesome because you will stand out!

I wear my glasses when I need a break from my contacts. These new clear Warby Parker glasses would be a fun change from my dark ones. People don't realize that glasses are very stylish. I will pick a different outfit out solely if I'm wearing my glasses because it will change the whole vibe.

The Burke glasses in Glacier Grey will go with every outfit because they are a matted clear! You almost can't tell that you are even wearing glasses. I love these because they are a classic square frame which is the best-selling frame on the Warby Parker website.

I have come up with a day to night look you could wear with the Burke glasses!

DAY LOOK

With this work outfit I went with a fun, playful look. I paired a windowpane skirt with a chambray shirt. Then, I accessorized with the Burke glasses, a statement necklace and fuchsia pink pumps! I would wear the shirt tucked into the skirt and buttoned all the way up with the necklace under the collar.

NIGHT LOOK

I went a little more edgy for this look and paired the same chambray shirt with black ripped jeans. Then, I accessorized with the Burke glasses, a choker and these amazing ankle booties. I would just tuck in the front part of the shirt, unbutton the first couple buttons and cuff the jeans for this look.  I think this outfit would be so cute for a girls night out or date night!

Warby Parker was started to create an alternative because the eyewear industry used to be dominated by a single company that was able to keep prices artificially high. Warby Parker designs glasses in-house and engages with customers directly. They are able to provide higher-quality and better-looking prescription eyewear at a fraction of the going price.

Warby Parker also offers a at home try-on figure. All you do is pick 5 frames and they will mail them to you for free. Try them out for 5 days and see which ones you like. Buy the ones you like online, sent back the 5 frames and Warby Parker will send you a fresh pair of your favorite glasses. 

Go check out the Burke glasses in Glacier Grey and have fun playing their new video game, Worbs!

If you do try the glasses, I want to see pictures!

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

Day One in Balitmore

July 2, 2016: We drove about six hours to get to the city of Baltimore, Maryland to see some 

family for Fourth of July weekend. Once we got there we had bought tickets to get a tour of the

Oriole's Ballpark. It was very interesting to hear about the history of how it was built and we

even got to go on the field and sit in the dugout! But, we couldn't touch or step on the grass

 they kept it in very good condition.

After the tour, we meet up with family to go out to dinner at Amicci's in Little Italy. 

The Pane' Rotundo for an appetizer was very good. So creamy!

For dessert, we went across the street to Vaccaro's Italian Pastry Shop to get some coffee and

cannolis. The cannnoli was one of the best ones I have had but, the shop is so small that we

had to wait a long time to get them!

This is a picture my sister took of me waiting outside of the shop.

We ended the night with a boat ride over looking the Inner Harbor.

Cheap Finds: Sunglasses

Hey guys!  Hope everyone is having a great Fourth of July weekend, I just wanted to share these $15 sunglasses I found on LuLu's.com that look just like the $50 Quay Australia ones. I was so happy when I found this look alike on LuLu's.  I was really considering spending the money on the Quay ones. I am so glad I waited, the LuLu's sunglasses were such a great deal!

I absolutely love them!

Happy Shopping,

Night of Beyonce

On June 3, 2016 my sister and I went to the Beyonce concert at Gillette Stadium. It's safe to stay that my emotions came over me when she came out onto the stage. My mouth was open the whole night in awe on her beautiful and her voice was even better live. I teared up for the opening song because I was so excited to be there. Everyone needs to see her in concert at some point in their life. From fire to a huge spinning box to dancing in water she had it all to make an amazing performance.
Here are some pictures I took!













We ended up on the Beyonce website!!

Styling: Day to Night Look

Today, I am going to show you how to take simple key items from a day to night look. In both outfits I have on the same floppy hat, monogrammed necklace and black booties. Floppy hats are very popular for the fall and a super cute accessory.

For the day look: It is a great outfit to go out and grab coffee with your bestie. It's cute and comfortable!
