Can you believe summer is over? The sun has been setting much earlier and mornings are gloomy - just the way I like it! Gloomy days conjure up wishful desires of rainy days in Paris, London or New York. For the past few days, many of the interior accounts I am following on Instagram posted bedroom pictures with large windows overlooking a very gloomy Manhattan. Now doesn't that just sound nice? Spending a cozy day indoors with your favorite book and a cup of coffee while looking over the concrete jungle... someday, maybe! But enough daydreaming! I finally wore these distressed skinny white jeans to go grocery shopping. White pants tend to look unflattering on me so I usually avoid them however, I had to have these! They're versatile and they can easily transition from summer into fall. Also, jeans never fit me perfectly in length so I always cuff them. Most of the time I roll them in but I decided to expose my cuff for these jeans. One thing to note, for petite girls like me, over-cuffing can make you appear shorter than we actually are! So cuff wisely! To give the impression of longer legs, I paired this outfit with Realove heels from Steve Madden. Anyways, I cannot wait until Fall comes in full swing! I have lots of past season runway outfits I cannot wait to re-create! Until next time!
Oh, how the times have changed. Having an in-person interview in 2020 seems like a figment of my imagination. As someone who transitioned from having in-person fellowship interviews in December 2019 to virtual on-sites and job interviews early 2020, I wanted to share some tips on how to be prepared and stand out amongst your competition.
I received this cubic zirconia ring from Berricle a few days ago and I was astonished. Unlike other cubic zirconia rings that possess an opaque tint, this ring is able to refract light and produce that blinding rainbow pattern (similar to an authentic diamond ring) from every angle. I must admit that when I first viewed their website, I was afraid that the rings might not appear genuine. However, the ring Berricle generously gifted me, as seen below, disproves my primary assumption. Not only does it look like a "real" diamond ring but the price for this gem is absurdly low. Any recessionista or luxury fashion enthusiast can purchase this ring without putting an enormous dent in their bank account. Visit Berricle's website HERE to view their products.
As for my outfit, I decided to pair this ring with a simple black dress. I love the leather trim and bows along with the drop waist (channeling a modern 1920's Gatsby vibe!). I chose to pair this dress with these COACH heels to maintain a classic yet sophisticated look. However, I could not resist adding a pop of color with my teal cat-eyed sunglasses. Have a nice weekend!
