Sleep Tight

Sleep is obviously highly valued, especially among college students. But, I am really not a fan of how disheveled and disarrayed most people (including me) look after awaking. Since crusty eyes, unpleasant breathe and knotted hair will probably always be an inevitable result of a good night's rest, a fashionable pair of pajamas may be the best way to offset the morning mess. Here are some affordable options for cute sleep wear... 

Forever 21 Pajama set: $16.80

GAP laced trim sleep romper: $34.50

GAP PJ shorts: $16.50

Forever 21 long PJ pants: $9.50

GAP silky gown: $17.99

Like a Lady

In case I didn't make it clear in my Waiting for Summer post, I wanted to say that I'm really sick of this snow, and I'm ready for my upcoming trip to Punta Cana! (especially since Uconn is no longer giving us snow days. Now it's just unbearable. ) Warm weather clothes are on my mind, and while I love dresses, there is something to be said about skirts. They give a look the same feminine vibe that dresses do, but they are slightly more versatile since it is up to the wearer to determine what to pair it with. If two girls are wearing the same dress, it may be quite obvious, but it is much rarer to find two girls in the same skirt looking identical. Whether a skirt is long, short, tight, layered, or flowy, it is the quintessential girly piece. Although those of us in New England still have a few more months before we can wear skirts freely, here are some affordable options to keep in mind. Until then, we'll just have to settle for pairing them with tights and boots!

Last Minute Ideas!

Last week, I posted here about one of the most hated and the most loved holidays: Valentine's Day. Well, for those of you who are procrastinating about getting gifts or figuring out what you're going to wear, here are some inexpensive and accessible last minute ideas for both girls and guys.  Remember, a simple red accessory is enough to be festive for the day without going overboard.

2. Rimmel burgundy flirt nail polish: $3.99

3. Forever 21 PJ shorts: $5.80

Perfect Timing

Lately, I have been infatuated with watches, and it seems I am not the only one. Watches have recently become the most popular accessory for young women, and it comes as no surprise since stores have been featuring them in all different styles and colors. Over the summer, I wrote a post about watches here, but the ones I featured were slightly pricey. I found these watches a few weeks back at a local boutique called Francesca's Collections and was impressed by the quality, wide selection and inexpensive price tags! Luckily, they have a website, and these great watches can be found online. 

Each watch can be found at Francesca's for either $18, $20, or $24.

Waiting for Summer

Now that my college is on its 5th snow day in the third week of classes, it's safe to say that everyone here is slightly sick of the winter and ready for summer, or at least spring. Since I have so much free time while I'm NOT in class, I started browsing some of my favorite stores' websites for warm-weather clothing in attempts to give me something to look forward to. Putting together summer outfits is so much more carefree than worrying about whether or not you're wearing the right amount of layers or if your shoes can handle the stormy elements. Here are some affordable pieces to keep you hopeful!

Valentine's Day: One of the most feared and revered "holidays." Trust me, I know that some hate it and some love it. I am one of those annoying people who love Valentine's Day, so, warning: if you hate it, this is not the post for you. 

Whether you plan on celebrating with a boyfriend or girlfriend, a friend, or by griping about how much you dislike the day, it is always festive to add shades of pink or red and some glitter to your outfit. Although, I do not recommend going overboard (I don't love Valentine's Day THAT much.) Simple cardigans or accessories are a great, inexpensive way to be celebratory, without looking like cupid.
