OOTN

For today's post I wanted to keep it simple and share an OOTN with you all. I am currently pre writing this post because by the time you read this on Friday I will have moved into my sweet dorm. Which stay tuned because I have a very exciting post where I show you my whole moving process!

Since I am leaving for college I've been spending my summer with friends and family. Which means a ton of one on one time with my mother which I don't mind because we always end up having great days together. Tonight we decided to go out and have a pizza date. My town is very small and lacks variety in restaurants but the only upside to that is that the few italian restaurants we do have are actually great. They are all family owned and the food is delicious, well, you can probably tell from the photo below.

As far as my outfit goes, my grey top is from Romwe.com. They we kind enough to send me this top and I can't even describe how much I love it. The material is great, it's a perfect top to wear this summer and really all year long and it's so trendy. My light washed jeans are from J.crew and my sandals are from Franco Sarto. Oh, let's not forget about my current obsession: my purse. It's from the brand REED and I actually got it at Khol's. You can certainly make this outfit more edgy by substituting the sandals for heels and the light wash denim for dark.

Party Like It's 1776

If you live in the U.S. I hope you all enjoyed your 4th of July festivities. I personally had such a relaxed long weekend that was much needed. For all of my viewers who are not from the U.S., first of all hello!! I wanted to take a moment to thank you all who read my blog from all parts of the world. I LOVE IT. Anyways, like I was saying, if you're not from the U.S. then you probably didn't know that Monday was Independence Day and everyone had a long weekend filled with celebration and fireworks.

I wanted to create a mini look book to show you what I wore this weekend to parties. I made these outfits a bit more simple. Therefore, you can wear this look at any time without having to save that one american flag shirt for the following year.

I stuck with the all american colors, red, white and blue. My overall dress was a lucky find at H&M. The white shirt on the inside is actually a white crop top I also found at H&M and resembled Topshop material a lot. Sandals are by Franco Sarto, oversized sweater from H&M and necklaces from Macy's jewelry section. I incorporated the red later on with a subtle lip stain but nothing too drastic.

I hope you found some cute outfit inspiration from that outfit as you can obviously wear it to any event this summer. Below is another outfit I wore later that weekend. The dress is actually from Marshalls. You can find similar ones at Forever21 and H&M. My heels are from Charlotte Russe and oh my gosh they are the most comfortable heeled sandals I own.

The swimsuit I wore on the 4th is from Tommy Hilfiger's summer collection. I hope you all enjoyed this post stay tuned for more event posts like this!

Favorite Jewelry Pieces

 I was lucky enough to be able to work with Pineal Vision Jewelry.  Brittany, the owner makes these beautiful handmade rings. She is currently working into making earrings and soon bracelets. What I love most about this small business is how everything is made here in the U.S. and it's also handmade. Make sure you give her a follow on social media @Pinealvisionjewelry. Brittany posts all new jewelry as well as gives you some behind the scenes on the process of constructing the jewelry pieces.

Make sure you check out her site and hopefully find yourself some rings to wear:

Vance Joy

Happy Friday everyone. Personally I couldn't be happier that this week is over since a lot has been going on. But to start the day off in a good mood, I wanted to share with you all some pictures and videos from the Vance Joy concert I attended.

Let me just say how in love with him I am now after seeing him live and in person. PLUS he honestly sings so much better live than through his recorded music.

The crowd was great and I'd like to give a quick shout out to my friend Liz who went with me.

Keep up on my instagram @valramm to see more.
