 Hello & happy Saturday! For this week's edition of "a daily dose of outfit inspo" I thought I'd share an outfit featuring one of my current favorite brands- Lonely Ghost. Lonely Ghost is a clothing company started by traveler, YouTuber, and influencer Indy Blue and her friends. They sell AMAZING loungewear that's not only cute & comfy, but affordable as well. For today's outfit I'm wearing their new "TEXT ME WHEN YOU GET HOME" crewneck. A year ago I would have said that orange is an unattractive color and not for me, but to be honest I'm finally starting to see the appeal. Lonely Ghost Co.: https://lonelyghost.co

 Wow, I've really missed uploading on my blog! Anyways, today I am sharing an outfit that is perfect for that transitional spring weather. If you have a cute satin dress but it's still chilly out and you don't want to cover up your dress with a coat, trying layering a turtleneck underneath! Using turtlenecks as a layering piece is very trendy right now! I chose a white turtleneck to compliment the white dots on my dress. I then added some gold jewelry and my go-to white chunky sneakers to complete the look. Being intentional about having a color scheme for the pieces you're wearing (white shirt, shoes, and polka dots on dress) elevates your outfit to a whole other level!

Over the past half a year I've had my hands full with some new projects I've been working on, like my YouTube channel and a secret project I'll be releasing this spring! I've always loved creating blog posts on here, though, and I definitely miss it. With that in mind, I've decided to take this time in quarantine/during these next few months to get back in the habit of posting weekly blog posts on here. Happy to be back and look out for a new fashion blog post this Saturday :) 8/17/2019 0 Comments ☆FALL FASHION VISION BOARD Hello & happy Saturday! With the beginning of school just around the corner, there is no better time to create a fall fashion vision board. This fall I'm looking forward to trying out the following trends: blazers, patterned pants, oversized crewnecks, circular sunglasses, lots of layering, and perhaps my favorite trend atm- bucket hats! TIPS FOR CREATING YOUR OWN FASHION VISION BOARD1. remember that you're looking for outfit inspo for cooler weather- focus on outfits which layer clothing, include jackets or jeans, and contain muted hues like camel, navy, white, or black. 2. get inspired by your favorite celebs- I personally looked through my favorite bloggers' Instagram accounts to find outfits I could recreate for fall. 3. find photos which match your aesthetic- while back to school shopping is very fun, buying an entirely new wardrobe will break the bank. A better solution is to create a vision board containing a few pieces you already own (for example, I own a white bucket hat already, so I just need to buy an oversized white crewneck to complete one of the looks on my vision board).

 |  |
This outfit was definitely out of the ordinary for me. I think I bought this set to make up for all the years I went to Lolla looking "basic." What's nice about sets like these is how easy they are to style. Since the main part of your outfit (the top and pants) automatically matches, you just need to worry about shoes and accessories. I decided to contrast this loud pink cheetah pattern with white accessories- white purse, white shoes, pear hair clips, & clear sunglasses.
OUTFIT NO. 2
 |  |
I originally only planned to go to one day of Lolla, so looks 2 and 3 were last minute 'fits I whipped together by raiding my closet. For Saturday's look I wanted something that looked more "high end" and less "rave," so I went with this ensemble. All accessories were gold- from my belt and necklace to the gold clasps on my boots. There was an unfortunate fashion moment when my gold Cartier knock-off bracelet fell into a Port-a-Potty toilet (rip), but even without a bracelet this outfit still screams "stylish."
OUTFIT NO. 3
 |  |
The final day of the festival was met with a major wardrobe malfunction- the zipper on the jumpsuit I planned on wearing broke. Running 20 minutes behind schedule, I threw on this simple, feminine look. It was my only Lolla look that was versatile enough for me to wear walking down the street and not have people glare at me/whisper about my outfit. A crop top, cute skirt, and chunky sneakers is my fool proof, go-to styling choice!

STEFFI STYLES: BUCKET HATS
hello and happy Saturday! In this latest installment of Steffi Styles, I'm showing you how I style a bucket hat. I created two different looks- a casual 'fit and a fancy 'fit. This blog post includes photos and styling tips, but if you want to see more be sure to click the link at the bottom of this page to view my newest YouTube video- a mini fashion film dedicated to styling bucket hats.
LOOK NO. 1: COOL GIRL CASUAL
 | One of my favorite ways to style a bucket hat is to simply throw on an oversized t-shirt. Who says fashion can't be comfortable? For this look I'm wearing a shirt from designer Virgil Abloh's pop-up exhibit at MCA in Chicago. It gives off major street style vibes, so my tip to you is to pair a bucket hat with a band tee, edgy shirt, or anything oversized! Lastly, adding some jewelry brings in a feminine touch which really ties the whole outfit together! |  |
OUTFIT DETAILS:
bucket hat- Guess
shirt- MCA Virgil Abloh collection
bracelet- Tory Burch
backpack- UO

LOOK NO. 2: LBD LOOK
 | Look number two is definitely fancier than the first outfit. Fashion is all about experimentation, so mixing casual pieces with dressy pieces is always a move. Since a little black dress is a timeless look, I paired my LBD with my bucket hat. Color coordination is also something to consider when creating an outfit, so naturally I made sure my hat and shoes matched (both white). |  |

WHAT TO PACK FOR A SUMMER TRIP
hello and happy Saturday! Summer is in full swing and since I just finished up a wonderful vacation, I thought I'd share what I packed for my trip! I'm leaving out the boring stuff like toothpaste, contacts, and phone chargers and instead focusing on the fun aspect of packing- the clothes!
PACKING TIPS & TRICKS
★ first off, it is important to pack outfits that can transition between warm and cool weather and from daytime to nighttime.
★ another tip is to make sure you are packing pieces that can be easily mixed and matched with one another.
★ my favorite tip is to take flat-lay photographs of the outfit combos you are packing so you can visualize all the looks.
★ I've said this time and time again, but ACCESSORIZING IS EVERYTHING. Remember to pack bracelets, necklaces, sunglasses, scrunchies, etc.
★ lastly, be sure to think about what activities you'll be doing on vacation, who you're going with, and what type of environment you'll be in (i.e., urban, outdoors, etc.) when picking outfits.

WHAT I PACKED
In retrospect, I think I packed some pretty solid pieces for my vacation. I travelled all through northern Michigan for about a week and then ended the trip in Mackinac Island for a few days. The vacation consisted of a combination of outdoor activities (zip lining, biking, swimming), walking around towns, and going out to eat. Packing a combo of fancier and casual outfits was definitely the way to go for this particular trip.
Lastly, you can't forget about the slightly less fashionable essentials- i.e. socks, underwear, workout clothes, etc. I like to make a check list of all clothing items I need to ensure I don't forget any of these less glamorous pieces.
enjoy your upcoming summer trips and have a great weekend :)

☆How to look put together☆
Let's face it, no one looks great all the time, except maybe the Kardashians. There are a lot of tricks, however, we non-celebrities can use to make ourselves look stylish and put together. In this blog post I'm sharing my top tricks for always looking put together!
TIP No. 1: paint your nails☆
Nothing says "I have my life together" like a good manicure. Having two week old nail polish chipping off, however, screams "I'm busy, stressed, and don't have time to fix my nails." If you really are busy, stressed, and don't have time to upkeep a nail color, simply apply a clear coat- it gives your nails a shine & no one will notice when the polish wears off.
TIP no 2: brush/style your hair☆
If you want to look put together, the bedhead has got to go (unless, of course, you're going for a beachy vibe). Taking 2 minutes to brush through your hair instantly gives you a more polished appearance.
TIP no 3: wear matching socks☆
No judgement here, we've all worn different socks at the same time, but this simple switch to wearing a pair of matching socks goes a long way in helping you look put together.
TIP no 4: tuck in your shirt☆
This tip literally takes 2 seconds to do. When you tuck in your shirt, it gives you more of a shape, as well as keeps an outfit from looking sloppy. If you are in the mood to wear a comfy t-shirt but still want to look presentable, try tucking your shirt into whatever pants/skirt you are wearing!
TIP no 5: ADD A TOUCH OF MAKEUP☆
Don't take this tip the wrong way- you do not need makeup to look beautiful. Adding a little concealer, however, goes a long way in brightening up your face and making you look awake and fresh-faced. A little concealer, bb cream, and a swoop of mascara instantly wakes up your face and enhances your natural features.
TIP no 6: accessorize☆
Last but most certainly not least, accessorizing is a MUST. You are all likely tired of me sharing this fashion tip, but adding necklaces, a purse, hat, or statement belt transforms a plain outfit into a stylish, put together look!
That's it for this Saturday's post! I hope you found these tips helpful and I look forward to sharing a new blog post next weekend :)

☆MY GO-TO #OOTD
hello & happy Saturday! A few months ago I wrote a blog post on the importance of having a go-to outfit. Well, this look I'm showing you today is that outfit. {if you want to read more about the importance of a go-to outfit, click the link below!}
My everyday sense of style consists of mostly denim & t-shirt combos, so it's only fitting that my go-to outfit is a fun tee and Tommy jeans. My current fave tee is a shirt which reads "If you want to impress me, bring me chick-fil-a on a Sunday." I love how it's a conversation starter and adds major personality to my outfit.
The rest of my go-to look includes my trusty Tommy Hilfiger jeans, favorite white chunky sneakers, a trendy clear plastic purse, and of course some gold jewelry! This is my most worn, favorite look due to its comfort & flair.
