NOLA Daze | Feat. Maddie + Zach

Posted in Fashion, Lifestyle

on 01/06/2016

I finally was able to take a real break this week and I always love the idea of playing tourist in my own city for fun. Living in Baton Rouge, we don’t get to go to NOLA as much as I did in high school since it’s not the quickest trip. When I’m home, I make it a point to head into the city. It’s one of my favorite places in the world, and hopefully someday I’ll be able to live there.

Maddie, Zach and I went Uptown to Magazine Street, Oak Street and St. Charles to do a little exploring and picture taking. The weather has been super duper bi-polar this winter, and it was surprisingly actually pretty chilly. I’m one of those people who wouldn’t dare to ruin an outfit with some chunky layers just to keep warm, so of course I had to stay warm in style.

Maddie and I both chose to rock our Hunters (which we LUURRVE) and some jeans. We are super into ripped jeans, especially in this medium wash. I opted for a monochromatic top half featuring a chunky oatmeal colored knit sweater from Madewell (which I borrowed from Maddie #blessed), and my cream quilted puffer vest from J Crew. Maddie is sporting a pale pale blue colored basic tee from Urban and for warmth she added an olive army-inspired jacket and chunky scarf.

I took a few shots of Zach just to show y’all how much he was SLAYING. There are so many things I could say about Zach, but really I’ll just leave it at the fact that he used to wear ugly tennis shoes and jeans… Look at him now. Started from the bottom now he’s here. Zach doesn’t get cold easily so he opted for some short navy shorts with a belt, basic white tee and denim jacket. His urban, yet preppy look wasn’t complete without a Vineyard Vines hat and some Adidas Stan Smiths.

I’ll link all of our outfit details here.

All I want for Christmas is…. | LGIP Christmas List 2015

Posted in Lifestyle

on 12/21/2015

Is it just me or is it every time Christmas rolls around I have the HARDEST time coming up with a list? Throughout the year I am always on Pinterest, Tumblr, Instagram and seeing things that make me go “OMG I WANT!” but then Christmas list making comes and hits me like a brick. I seriously struggled this year, y’all. I think the older I get, the more I realize that I don’t really need anything for Christmas, ya know? Well after some thought, I present to you my Christmas List 2015.

Ray Ban Aviators // J Crew Factory PJ Set // Blanket Scarf // S’well Bottle

// Ray Ban Aviators //

As you all well know- I am sunglass obsessed. Back in July, I broke my favorite pair of Ray Ban Aviators {I talk about this and about my newer pair in this post}. It was such a sad day for me… I had those glasses for four years. They were the first pair I was able to keep up with in the history of EVER. Nevertheless, I miss them dearly and thought I would ask for a new pair of them for Christmas this year.

// J Crew Factory PJ Set //

I’ve recently been on a PJ kick.. Is that even I real thing? I’m not sure but all I know is I’ve been really wanting a PJ set to cozy up in on Sunday mornings when I have nothing to do. Sleeping in a PJ set actually makes me feel like I have my life together somewhat.. lol only me. I plan on monogramming these to add my own flair to them!

// Blanket Scarf //

Blanket scarves are all the rage this season. I’ve seen them on my Instagram feed at least once a day for the past month or two. I love scarves but unfortunately it hasn’t really been cold enough here for me to rock them :( I’m hoping the weather will cool down and I can rock a chunky blanket scarf one day! A girl can only dream….

// S’well Bottle //

Along with being sunglass, PJ and scarf obsessed at the moment, I have always been a fan of water bottles. My favorite are Camelbacks and Tervis Tumblers. I always bring a bottle of water with me to work or to my classes to be sure I’m staying hydrated. Having an adorable water bottle really does make me want to drink water. S’well bottles keep cold drinks cold for 24 hours and hot drinks hot for 12 hours. They’ve got so many patterns and colors, it was so hard to choose.

Well there you have it readers, my 2015 Christmas List. What are y’all asking for this year? Any of the same things that are on my list?

And if you’re still doing some last minute shopping… believe me I feel your pain. Keep this in mind!

Much love y’all. Until next post..

Black and White with Herringbone

How adorable is this black and white look featuring my favorite fall/winter piece a vest? I have been known to be vest obsessed. I love a simple outfit with a vest as a pop. This herringbone one from J Crew factory took me FORVER to snag.

I paired it with this adorable little suede swing skirt with button detail, and a basic long sleeve tee. I love the simplistic look of this black and white outfit. I finished things off with my Mini MAC and black booties.

On a side note, how can I just say how excited I am for Christmas? I can’t wait to spend time with my family and enjoy some quality food!

Nordstrom Boot Sale | LGIP Picks

Posted in Fashion

on 11/19/2015

Riding Boot // Sam Edelman Penny Boot

I always love a good pair of riding boots. You can pair them with anything- jeans, leggings, a dress, literally anything. This Sam Edelman pair is so sleek and I love the color options offered (a grey, deep chocolate brown and a chestnut).

Bootie with Fringe // Vince Camuto Harlin Fringe Bootie

Fringe is all the rage this season! These booties are too cute. Fringe would be the perfect addition to any outfit that needs a little spicing up!! This neutral color matches with anything (especially purple and gold).

Open Toed Bootie // Dolce Vita Port Open Toe Bootie

Dolce Vita makes THE BEST open-toed booties. There was a pair from last year that I went on a man hunt for in September. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find them anywhere! These are the closet match I was able to find. I’m loving the zipper detail and this pale nude color makes me swoon.

Sleek Bootie // Sam Edelman Reyes Bootie

I have seen quite a few bloggers I follow on Instagram sporting sleek booties similar to these. I loooove the rounded toe these have. I’d pair them with an adorable pair of flair jeans for a 60’s-70’s vibe.

Bootie With Zipper Detail // Dolce Vita Highlander Bootie

Every girl needs a solid pair of black booties to wear with anything and everything. Checkout the zipper detail on these (do y’all see a theme? I really love zippers this season). My pair of black booties that I currently own are my absolute go-to for any outfit.

Have any of y’all shopped the Nordstrom boot sale? If so, what are your picks?

Sweater Weather

Posted in Fashion

on 11/09/2015

1 // 2 // 3 // 4

It drops 7 degrees in South Louisiana and we all break out the sweaters. I’ve been waiting with bated breath for fall to arrive and bring with it cooler weather, warm coffee drinks (PSL anyone?), and layers upon layers.

In anticipation for the upcoming weather, I’ve been browsing around for some sweaters. This season I’m super into chunky knits, turtlenecks, and ponchos. I cannot wait to layer my J. Crew puffer vests with some chunky sweaters. I picked out a few I’m digging- including a textured sweater, chunky cable knit turtleneck in the most beautiful coffee and cream color, long light weight poncho to throw on over a solid long sleeve tee or even to wear alone as a statement piece, and the ever so classic v-neck sweater to pair with jeans and boots.

I’m too excited to break out my jeans, riding boots and sweaters, so until then, I’ll be crushing on these babes online. A girl can only dream, huh?

What are you most looking forward to this fall?

Saturday down south: Casual Gameday Attire

Posted in Fashion

on 09/08/2015

If you live in the south and even if you don’t, I’m sure you’re well aware that we southern women love us some football. Not just the game of football, but the act of getting all dressed up for game day and going tailgating pre-game. This weekend I had my first experience of the act of tailgating at LSU. The Parade Grounds are flooded with tents, filled with swarms of people- all decked out in their purple, gold, black and white. Sorority girls wear their buttons and plaster “Sorority name here loves the tigers!” stickers onto boys. It’s hard to describe, but if you’ve tailgated at an SEC school, you’ll certainly understand where I’m coming from when I say it is sheer madness.

Of course, there’s always a question of what to wear for game days. Some girls where dresses, while some opt for shorts and a simple shirt. This weekend, I decided to go more casual and sport some distressed denim shorts and a swing tank complete with some accessories and my Alpha Phi button (A Phi loves the tigers!!). The whole look was effortless and certainly was perfect for the extreme heat I experienced.

// The Breakdown //

Articles of Society Distressed shorts // Free People Swing Tank {similar} // Forever 21 Strappy Bralette {similar} // Druzy Arrowhead Necklace (I made myself) // Sideways Cross Necklace // Mini MAC Crossbody Bag // Ray Ban Mirrored Aviator Sunglasses // Copper Jack Rogers Sandals

Pictured with me are my friends Maddie and Camille. The two of them dressed up a bit more and did dresses with boots.

The game was overall a flop. LSU literally played for five minutes and then we had a rain delay due to lightening and then everyone left due to the dark dark clouds. I had to walk all the way across campus in a terrential downpour with no umbrella or rain jacket. That was an experience I’ll definitely remember!!

I hope to continue this little Saturday Down South Series and give y’all some game day outfit ideas cause I know I’ll sure need some from y’all. Let me know what y’all think in the comments below. Did you enjoy this post? What would you wear to an LSU game?

My Stack | Best Baubles for under $45

Posted in Fashion

on 08/12/2015

Due to the fact that I’m moving into my dorm this Saturday, I’ve been so busy this week with packing and running errands to get ready for my dorm. I’m so excited about school! Big changes are coming up. But, I regress. Now onto the post.

Baubles and Baubles and Baubles oh my! I recently ordered the Bauble Bar Cape Town Build Your Own Stack. There was a promo code which took 30% off my order, so each bracelet ended up being around $8. I would’ve been crazy to pass that up! I’m always looking for statement pieces to add to my collection. If you’re in the market for some high quality fashion jewelry, check out Bauble Bar!

Here’s a peek at my order.

Gold Elephant Chain Bracelet

Twinkle Pull Bracelet

Sao Paolo Tassel Bracelet-Metallic Gold

Chambray Love

Posted in Fashion

on 07/21/2015

Photos by Zachary Weber.

Chambray popover {similar} // Textured white shorts {similar} // Jack Rogers // Black faux leather tote {similar} // MK sport tortise watch // stella&dot gold chain-link bracelet // Ray Ban Clubmasters // Monogram necklace

How adorable is this combo?! I’m so obessed with easy outfits for the summer. Just throw on some chinos and a shirt, and I’m good to go. Today I styled my Bananna Republic textured chinos with a chambray popover from Old Navy. Unfortunately both of these items are out of season so I linked something similiar for both! I’m really digging the simplicty of this outfit.

As for accessories, I’m sporting my MK sport watch in tortise (Are y’all seeing a trend here? This is my fave everyday watch! Expect to see it again!), and this gorgeous gold chain bracelet from stella&dot. The piece is so great to stack with a watch and some bangles. It’s so eye catching and I love how simple it is! My 3 inch monogram necklace makes its return as well (another everyday staple of mine! I may have to get a new one soon, considering I’ve worn this baby down!). I’m still carrying my Forver 21 black faux-leather tote because I can fit soo much stuff in it! Today I managed to fit my computer, camera, a book, my agenda and a notebook in this bad boy! Not too shabby for a bargain bag! I’m also wearing my Ray Ban Clubmasters (remember how I told y’all I was a sunglass hoarder. Well here’s exhibit A.), which are the cutest! I can’t get over the vintage vibe they add to the look.

I’m wearing my Jacks as well, no surprise. These are the Hamptons sandals in bone with white whipstitching.

Is there any thing y’all want to see on the blog? Give me your suggestions below in the comments!
