Fashion Favorites: The Met Gala 2015 (China: Through the Looking Glass)

Here are my favorite looks from the Met Gala last night! Warning, there are a LOT of pictures. The theme this year was "China: Through the Looking Glass," in honor of the Met's newest exhibition. I think you'll be able to tell who my favorite was by the end of this post (hint: she probably wakes up like that).

Style: Baby Blue

Recently I've been loving monochrome outfits with hints of soft, baby blue / periwinkle accents. For someone who struggles to incorporate color into her wardrobe, I think this color is perfect (and it makes my eyes pop!). I have an old baby blue bag from Zara that I adore, so here are some sets inspired by just that.

Inspiration: Erin Hanson (The Poetic Underground)

Erin Hanson is a 19 year old Australian poet who became famous through her website The Poetic Underground, which she launched in 2011. She has published two books of her poetry, which I am dying to get my hands on, as well as set up a service where she writes and sends personalized poetry to people all over the world. Poetry and I have a love hate relationship. There are poems I despise, and poems that I can truly connect to, that touch my soul. Hanson's poems do just that. Her poetry often uses everyday items and concepts to create metaphors that reveal great truths about life, love and our society, themes which are often hard to talk about in day to day conversation. Here are some of my favorite poems by her.

Inspiration: Morocco

As I think about life at university, I think about study abroad options and where I might like to visit during and after that time. One of those places is Morocco. My parents had me watch Casablanca when I was a freshman in high school, and that sparked my interest in the city and the country. The architecture and culture I later spent hours researching sealed the deal. Here are some of my favorite pictures of the amazing country and its architecture.

Style: Flare Overalls?

I have seen tons of celebrities wearing flare overalls lately, especially this lovely Frame Denim pair in a darker wash. I was skeptical about them at first, but I've discovered with the right accessories, they can be a perfect statement piece in any closet. Here are some sets in which I've styled various pairs of flare overalls.
