Color is the New Black

In the past my wardrobe consist of three things: BLACK BLACK and more BLACK. Well, with my new transfer I am attempting to turn over a new leaf. I am starting to incorporate more color into my wardrobe in order to fit the summery Nashville scene.

It's not that I didn't like color. And it's not that I was afraid of color. Black was just easy. Thrown on a black shirt, jeans, and one bright accessory. So EASY. Well, personally that won't fly in Nashville, so COLOR is the NEW BLACK. I am starting to pair colors together and slowly move black out of my closet as a main item. Take a look at my new style inspirations.

Design Dream

Just like any other girl I fantasize about my wedding, my future career, and of course my house. I cannot wait to design my first house or apartment. It will give me a chance to take my creative side to an all new level. No one stopping me, no one holding my creativity back.

I guess I would call my style modern prep. My house/apartment will be simplistic with bursts of color and patterns.

Designing a house takes time and lots of thought and strategy, so here are some snip-its of what I hope will be the inspiration for my future apartment (because that is a little closer in the future than a house).

LOVE the idea of coloring the ceiling and not the walls. Gives the bathroom some drama! 

Organization is key in a small apartment!

A bedroom is the only place that is all mine! Meaning I can go crazy with patterns and colors.
And I will do that.

Another great idea: wallpaper on the ceiling!

I love simplicity in a dining room because there shouldn't be distractions in this room. But the bursts of color and pattern are oh so perfect!

GLAMOROUS! 

I wouldn't orange, but the color blocking here is exactly what I want.

I have always had an obsession with office spaces.  And with a little more color this one would fit right in with my apartment decor.

Summer Trend

This past year I have noticed a new trend: the maxi skirt. Yes, I've always had mad love for the maxi dress, but until recently I was unsure of this half maxi dress. Through my love of Pinterest, I have found the perfect way to wear a maxi skirt without looking boho-chic or hippie inspired. I consider my style to be classy and simplistic with a little flare, and I never thought a maxi skirt could be worn in that way until now. 

I am currently on the lookout for a way to replicate this outfit before I head out to the hamptons. It has all my favorite pieces: color blocking, simplicity, cute [gold] accessories, thong sandals, and just overall class. It is so put together and ever so perfect for the Hamptons!

How would you style a maxi skirt? Boho chic or Hamptons class?

Birthday Wish List

With my birthday coming up in a couple months (September 1 to be exact), I have started to think about what I want.
