SIDE STRIPE

Have I mentioned that Forever 21 is killing it lately?? I have been a long time fan of the fast fashion brand, but I always utilized more when I was in college and for "going out tops." Now the brand is making a big push to appeal to the over 21 set, and personally it is working. I am loving that they are coming out with more pieces with a more sophisticated vibe like the shift dress I'm wearing in today's post or this suede moto jacket I just picket up for #NYFW. Thankfully these upgrades are still in line affordable Forever 21 pricing I know and love - you can easily duplicate today's look for under $100.

Cheers Mates! For the past week I have been in London and I am so excited to start sharing some of my travel pictures with y'all. I definitely want to start incorporating more travel into the blog, and what better city to start with than London? I wore this outfit for our visit to Windsor Castle. It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to London and I would highly recommend visiting if you are ever in the area. We actually caught a glimpse of the Queen and some other members of the royal family on their way to a Polo match, which was amazing and very surreal. The Queen's doll house was another one of my favorite parts of the tour.
