My Closet Essentials


I am obsessed with fashion and trends. I am constantly looking at weheartit at all the cute outfits, which can give me an idea for an outfit to try. I love putting together new outfits just as much as I love buying new ones (hehe). But there are a few items that I find myself wearing weekly. They are my closet essentials! Now they may not be everyones essentials, but I think that the essentials will vary from person to person, as everyone has a different type of style. Here are my essentials.



The first item that I currently adore in my closet is my jacket from H&M. I really love this jacket as I find it very versatile. It's a loose fit that is longer than most jackets, which I like as I don't like wearing tight clothing on the top half. It also makes it very comfortable to wear on long flights or car drives.
It is perfect for fall as it is lighter than a winter jacket, but could still be worn in spring. The colour is a military green with greyish brown camouflage heart shape on it. I don't have a huge difficulty finding other clothes to match with this item either, so wearing it to or from your destination is ideal.

The next item is something that I think everyone should own a few pairs of, winter or spring. Leggings. Personally I like the look of leggings on myself better than jeans, and I also find leggings more comfortable than most jeans so why not? I have leggings in a few colours, black, grey, snakeskin and a few others. Most of my leggings are from Garage, as I like how the fabric and that they always have a huge selection of leggings. Having a pair of black leggings would be beneficial to mostly any of you because there are a whole variety of shirts and blouses you could wear them with.

The third item in my essentials is my purse.I don't buy a new purse that often as I always fall in love with  my current one. I had been looking online at the topshop website and had my eye on a purse for a while. So I decided that enough was enough and I should just make the purchase. It is the Studded Lady Holdall purse. I really like how there are two little straps to hold or an across the body strap for whatever you prefer.The colour being beige is again very versatile and the size is medium which permits for any daytime or night-time use. Doesn't this bag sound perfect ?!

The last item of my essentials are my combat boots. They are a nice brown colour with laces on the front and on the inside it is very cozy. These boots have lasted me long enough that I forget where I purchased them, but the brand is called Brash. These also match with most  of the items in my closet, which I find very useful. I couldn't find the link to this item but I purchased them at Payless.





So there you have it ! Those are my closet essentials. I think that it is very important to have key pieces that you can mix and match outfits with.  This way it will save you a bit of money, or will allow you to purchase more accessories to really change the outfit up to your delight. :)

Aloha!

Hello !

For those of you who are still in school , (such as me ) spring break is quickly approaching ! I tend to go away over the break and for some reason this stresses me out ?! I never know what or how much to pack, and always find myself anxious until i get there. Maybe out of fear that I am forgetting something. So heres a post that will help you get a better idea of what you should bring on your spring break trip. For the following trips you will of course need to bring the essentials, but I am going to tell you some things to try adding to your list for a stress free vacation. 


A Trip In The City.

If you are going into the city do check the weather. You do not want to arrive to what you thought was going to be warm, to realize that in fact it will be raining - the entire time. So plan ahead ! Bring part of your fall or winter wardrobe, such as long shirts and pants, and lots of layers.


Bring :

-  Jeans 
- A warm coat
- Small Umbrella
- Walking shoes or boots



Tropical Paradise:

If you happen to be going somewhere hot like Hawaii ( Me! ) you do not need to bring anything fall related, unless you want to be very overheated- not ideal. Bring lot's of your summery outfits such as shorts, tank tops and of course , your favourite bathing suits. 

Bring :

- Bikinis
- Sunscreen ! ( Very Important )
- A Sunhat 
- Sunglasses



Staying At Home : 

Spring Break is a time for relaxation. Even if you are not planning on going anywhere, do take the time to relax - you deserve it ! 

Ideas: 

- Try a new local restaurant or cafe 
- Movie Marathon
- Spa day ( This could be done from your home as well )



Those are just some of the things that I recommend bringing, or doing, over spring break. However there are so many more things to do ! I want YOU guys to comment below any tips or items that you think should be added to this list. Have a great spring break !
