Current Favorites // 004

Welcome back! I hope you enjoyed my first week of daily posts. If you have no idea what I am talking about you can refer to my new blogging schedule here. Anyways, I am back and as the new schedule indicates it is Monday Current Favorites. So read below to find out my current favorites and tell me some of your below!

. . . . .

Favorite Clothing Items

Shades of blue anyone? If you must know me, you must know that I love blue. I don't mean to pick up strictly things that are blue, but somehow it always happens. The second thing you must know about me, I love Zara. These recent years, I have gone from 0% to 50% of my wardrobe from Zara. I went shopping at there yesterday and here are the three things I picked up.

Zara Shimmer Thread Blouse, $39.90

Zara Peplum Poplin Top, $25.90

Zara Frilled Dress, $49.90

Favorite Person

Olivia Palermo is and will always be my style icon. Olivia has the ability to defy the rules when it comes to fashion. She is daring with her wardrobe and still maintains class and ease with each sartorial choice.

Favorite Song

I love singing to this song. It is uplifting, fun, and the perfect song for getting ready for a fun night out. The full album comes out July 15th, so give it a listen and get ahead of the others before the album drops. 

Favorite TV Show

I started True Blood a couple of days ago and I am hooked! I'm not going to lie, there are some really cheesy moments that make me want to roll my eyes, but it is a cool, dark, and unique show. One of my favorite things about the show is that it takes place in Louisiana which is something I don't see too often in TV shows. The United States has many colorful people and it is interesting to view a plot line set in the south.

Friday Finds // 001

Hey there! Welcome to Friday Find. This series is just a compilation of articles and stories that I have found that are worth reading. Each week I'll share about 4 articles give or take a few that have sparked my interest and hopefully yours too. Have an article you recently read that you want to share? Leave it below!

The Real Reason You Procrastinate - In my entire life I have only met one person who admitted that he is not a procrastinator. Soooo many people put off that important task which is why I find it interesting to know why people procrastinate. After reading this article I think this article portrays exactly how I feel when dealing with a daunting task. I exactly align with the mentality that "it usually happens when people fear or dread, or have anxiety about, the important task awaiting them." Let me tell you, I have definitely become victim to the "self-defeating cycle" when we go on further to avoid the negative feeling of procrastination.

Money Diaries - This is not an article per se, but a collection of articles featuring modern day women and how they manage their money. I think Refinery29 does a great job of introducing women who are just like the rest of us (trying to maintain financial stability), and not receding to traditional patriarchal societies where women depend on men. I also just enjoy reading some of the stories just to see the standard of living in bigger cities. It has been my dream to live in New York City and with that you best believe that I need to get my finances down on lock.

San Francisco Decorator Showcase - I LOVE design and interior design is no exception. In one single home, it is so cool to see the difference in style. I like to think my style is industrial/contemporary, but after viewing each designer's creation, I would love to live in any one of the rooms. I especially like how so many designers broke the usual rules when it comes to styling like 'don't mix patterns' and 'less is more' and still made each room look amazing.

The Most Flattering Colors to Wear with Every Denim Wash - Let me first premise this in saying that by no means do you have to follow these suggestions; wear whatever the hell you want to wear! However with that said, Who What Wear has some amazing pairing that totally work! Burgundy + Light Wash and Kelly Green + Medium Wash. In my wardrobe I either have one or the other and now I desperately want to go shopping for some missing colors/washes.

The New Schedule

Hey guys, if you haven't noticed I've been pretty into posting frequently. I have mapped out a schedule and a theme for each day. However Thursday, today, is the only day that I haven't yet planned any specific theme. I have mulled over the idea of something like 'Thought Thursday' or 'Talking Thursday' where I just share with you something fashion related all in plain conversational text with no graphics, but I know that I'm probably going to run out of ideas or topics. So for today, I guess I'll just share with you things to expect on the blog in the future while I think of a theme for Thursday. I also plan on taking Saturday and Sunday off as those are the days I need to plan posts. As of today, the new schedule will be:

• Monday Weekly Favorites
• Trending Tuesday
• Wishlist Wednesday
• _______ Thursday
• Friday Finds

P.S. If you don't know what "Friday Finds" is, check back tomorrow where the first post will be up and I'll tell you a little more about it.

P.P.S. As always, please leave me a comment below. Any comment would be greatly appreciated; I'd love to read some of your feedback.

On The Wishlist // 001
