Shoe Files: Every Shoe You Need for a Successful Back to School

Whether you're headed to class or out to a party, these shoes are definitely a necessity for a successful shoe year!

1. One of the great things about being on a campus is the gym! A cute pair of sneakers is definitely motivation to head to the athletic building. And these are so cute you can wear them to class too!

2. It's definitely an experience when you wake up to pouring down rain and realize you have to walk to class! But it is possible to look put together in a torrential downpour: just get yourself some rainboots!

3. Whether you're headed to a party or just to class, sometimes heels are the way to go! But you'll want something comfortable: you'll be doing lots of walking or standing in these shoes! Opt for something with a wedge heel or a platform. I've found these to be the most comfortable.

4. As summer turns into fall, you'll need a pair of boots to transition with the seasons! These cute booties work with both sundresses and jeans or leggings!

Back to School in Style

On the first day of classes, you want to be comfy, casual, and cute all at the same time. You'll be walking all around campus and never know what may happen in your classes. So what to wear? These outfits are sure to keep you looking cool on your first day. 

Look 1: Classic and Comfortable

I paired this red maxi skirt from Pacsun with this striped crop top from H&M. To stay comfortable all day, I suggest flats, like these flip flops from Billabong. Add a chunky chain necklace and a monochrome backpack to complete the look!

Look 2: Sporty Chic

This look is sassy and sporty. Pair boyfriend jeans, like these from H&M, with a loose baseball tee, like this one from Topshop. Then add some wedge sneakers (I totally love these), a slouchy beanie, and a faux leather cross body bag to complete this relaxed look. 

Look 3: Feminine Details

This look is all about being girly and fun! I paired this chambray cropped top from Tobi with these crocheted shorts from NastyGal. I added lots of gold arm candy and a pretty pink nail polish. The floral sneakers from Forever 21 add a little edge to this flirty look and make walking around campus easy!


What do you think? Would you wear these outfits to your first day of class? I know I would!

Good luck going back to school!

How to Make Your Dorm Room feel like Home!!

Many times, all your dorm room is is four white cinder block walls and tiled floor. However, with a little creativity, you can make your little dorm room feel like home!

1. Invest in some bedding you love! You'll spend lots of time on your bed, so a quality set of sheets is important. Also, fill your bed with comfy pillows or throw blankets. It really add color to your room!

2. Lighting can totally change your room. The fluorescent lighting in dorm rooms is harsh and uninviting. Purchase a few cute lamps and your room will feel much homier!

3. Liven up those white walls with some artwork! Posters are cheap and diy projects are even cheaper. I like to make my own art to hang on the walls too! Decals also work well. Just don't forget to bring something to stick your posters and art to the walls! Artwork is an easy way to express yourself to all your friends

4. That tile floor is going to be chilly in the morning! Get a cozy rug to put on your floor. Door rooms can be echo-y, but a rug helps with this! Choose a bright color to warm up your room!

With all these little additions, your dorm room can become your home away from home! I suggest looking at Bed, Bath and Beyond and Target for great dorm room selections. That's where I found lots of my dorm things! Hope you find everything you need for this year!
