tank (no longer being sold through Halsey’s store). shorts. sneakers. sunglasses (use my code CLUNKSTER25 for 25% off your order!). perfume.

Hi hi! I hope you’re enjoying the heat. I’ve been basking in the sun and finding safety in front of my tower fan. I love taking walks in this weather, but I really don’t like sweating. Remember that episode of Victorious when Tori had never sweat in her life? I wish I could be like her. 

This is one of my favorite tanks! It’s merch from my girl Halsey. I’m usually not into graphic tops, but I love this design and the stark contrast of the black and white. I always wear it with my black Converse since the colors look so great together. Usually, I tuck this top into my denim shorts, but it also looks cute untucked with leggings.

I topped this look off with Katy Perry’s INDI and my Sunice sunglasses. Remember, CLUNKSTER25, 25% off ;)

top (by Nothing Sacred). bralette. shorts. sneakers. perfume. sunglasses (mine are lighter).

Happy Tuesday, angels! I hope your weekend was fantastic. I just got back to Boston for my last Orientation! I can’t believe how fast my time at Emerson has gone. I feel so old. I’m excited to start getting back into the swing of this school year. I miss being busy and seeing all the people I love!

This look is another simple one featuring a top I don’t wear enough! I got it from my cousins, and it looks so great with my bralette. It’s another top that I can wear differently depending on how I drape it. It’s made of pretty thin material, so this is a great top for these hotter days.

I wore my black shorts and black Converse, and let my hair down. I also wore Killer Queen, one of my favorite fragrances from Katy Perry, and my wood sunglasses.

crop top or bra?

top (similar). shorts. kimono (similar). sneakers. perfume.

Happy hump day! Back when it was super duper hot here in Boston, I barely wanted to wear any clothes to be honest. I didn’t have any AC in my room (thank God I do now!) so all I did was lay around in my Star Wars bra/crop top (I still never know how to categorize it) and denim shorts, watch lots of Vanderpump Rules, and sweat.

Regardless of how good these clothes make me feel temperature-wise, I think this is a cute look in general when I added the kimono. I love wearing crop tops, but I hesitate to with these newer shorts because they have a lower waistline, but I feel like showing my whole belly is Star Wars-like, like I did when I went to a May the 4th party.

And to be honest, this kimono can make anything look amazing. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it and we’ve been together ever since. And while formatting this post I found out that it's no longer being sold by H&M, and I would be lying if I said I didn't shed a tear. But I linked an equally cute one that I actually really love. I'm definitely gonna take a stroll through their kimonos. I got this one in a size large because I wanted it to fit nice and loose, so definitely keep sizing in mind if you decide to get one for yourself (which you definitely should). 

My top knot is also thriving, as this was one of the only hairstyles I could bear! I love my long, thick hair, but in the heat it can be just too much. I miss wearing my hair down, but playing around with new styles is always fun. I’ve been meaning to measure the height of my bun, I’ll get back to you guys.

Do you think this is a crop top or a bra? Let me know in the comments!

top (no longer being sold at H&M). leggings. bralette. sneakers. perfume. lipstick (in Sanctuary). 

Hello! Happy Thursday! I wore this look to a party a couple nights ago. Going to parties during the summer is so much easier than in the winter! No one has to wear their big bulky jackets, no one minds walking a lot or being outside, and everyone can get away with less clothes!

This wasn’t too much of a party, so I just decided to wear my high-waisted leggings and a crop top. I was a little bored with what was in my closet, so I borrowed this shirt from one of my roommates, and I love it! I think I had a similar one in hot pink a couple years ago. This was super comfortable, and the cut was perfect.

I wore my bralette underneath, and my white Converse to make my shirt pop more. I put my hair in a braided ponytail, and wore my darker lipstick. I love all the balance of light and dark in this look!

This one’s another simple one, but I’ve got a bunch of cool looks coming soon! Stay tuned, and make sure you’re following me on all my social media channels: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, & Pinterest.

Happy Friday! Finals are over, the sun is shining, and there’s more time to spend with the people we love. I wore this outfit to a surprise birthday dinner for one of my sorority sisters! She was so surprised, and everyone had a really great time. Gabrielle Martin is an amazing human being.

To be honest, I don’t really know how I put this outfit together! I was wearing this look earlier in the day, so I really just swapped outerwear. I normally would’ve thrown on a flannel, but since we were going out, I put on a kimono instead. I love this outfit because it’s cute and put together, but not too fancy. It’s really just the perfect thing to wear to a girls’ hang!

My hair was still in a ponytail from the night before, surprise! I put so much product in it to get it to stay perfect, so I always want to get as much out of it as I can. I did re-do my makeup though! I kept it relatively simple, with a little bit of glitter.

My favorite part of this look is probably my bag! I bought it five years ago on Black Friday at H&M. It was crazy cheap, I think it was $5! I love this color red because it adds a pop to any look, especially a black and white one like this. The bag is really roomy, too! I'd love to find a bag like this in a more neutral color, so if you find one let me know!

There’s not much to say about this look other than that it’s cute and I love it! I think it’s a good example that it doesn’t take a ton of work to take a look from night, to day, to night, to day… 

Have a great weekend!
