Mount Dora

Jeans/ H&M Boots/ Urban Outfitters Bag/ Aldo jacket/ Gap 
Last week I visited Mount Dora and did a bit of exploring. It truly is such a lovely town filled with coffee shops and cute little antique spots! Will be back soon :)
This look really describes my everyday style. I have been squeezing the life out of my boyfriend jeans and wearing Chelsea boots like its my job.
 Hope you are having a wonderful week!

Lately..


To be quite honest, I have a heavy obsession with Winter Park. Usually my weekends are spent wandering around Park Ave discovering new places to eat and hang around. A couple weeks ago I discovered the Winter Park Farmers Market. It is the most loveliest market filled with flowers, lemonade, vegetables and all kinds of goodies. If you live in florida or ever visit, you must check it out! 
Anywho, I am still getting use to this new schedule..and I will be posting as often as possible. Some weeks will be more than others, but I will always update you all! 
Hope you are loving this semester!

Jean Jacket

Skirt/ Cotton On Shoes/ Steve Madden Jacket/ H&M Crop Top/ Primark (london) Necklace/ ASOS
One of my goals for the new year is to become healthy. I mean, my family typically makes healthy food during the week, but I want to make sure the products I use for my hair, skin and consumption are organic and promote overall health.. not just weight lost. So far, I have been committed to this goal and have already started to see positive results! 
All this to say that my skin has been incredibly clear and that I have had lots of energy! What are your goals for the new year? 
Change always starts with a decision! Make a positive choice for change this week and stick to it! :)

P.S. More beauty/ skin care post coming soon!

Boyfriend Jeans

Boyfriend jeans/ H&M Boots/ UB Coat/ London Fogg Scarf/ Cotton On Lips- Twig- MAC
The cold weather and I have a lovely relationship. It would be against my nature to say "it's too cold!!" when I have been on my knees praying for it to feel like winter in florida. To end the rambling, I was just very pleased to whip out my scarf and coat!
Boyfriend jeans are probably my newest favorite addition to my wardrobe. Being that jeans are not my favorite, I was a little hesitant to wear these... but my mother went ahead and bought me these lovely jeans for christmas and I have literally worn them almost everyday since then. Love them with all my corazon! 
Also, I have worn the same boots for the past few post, but I just don't get tired of them. I do repeat items in my closet because thats the purpose of buying things.. to use them! ;)
Thanks for stopping by!!

Hair Care Products/ Routine


To spice things up, I wanted to share my hair care products/ routine! Please note that I normally leave my hair curly so these are the products I use to get my curls looking healthy. If you desire a straight hair look and want to put something in your hair before blow drying, I reccomend using a pump of Organix Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum and a tad of the Moroccan Oil Intense Curl Cream (My hair is extremely dry and this helps make my hair be silky and shiny)

Before I begin the process I want to clarify that this is just what works for my hair. Everybody has a different texture, thickness etc. so please feel free to alter what I say according to your liking! I really love these products and highly recommend them!
Here we go!
Step 1:
Before showering I usually de-tangle my hair. While in the shower I use shampoo of course and then the conditioner but the trick lies in the conditioner. The best results I have found have been in leaving some of the conditioner in my hair. Don't wash it all out. Leave as much as you want but due note that too much can make the hair too greasy. I had to play around with my hair for a couple washes to see what was best. 
Step 2:
I wrap my hair in a towel for a few seconds. Do not leave your hair in too long because it will dry out the hair and you need a little moisture to form the curl. Remove the towel and in your hand squeeze a pump of the Moroccan Oil Intense Curl Cream, Shea Moisture Yucca & Baobab Thickening Groth Milk, and Organix Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum. Feel free to do less or more based on your hair type. 
Step 3:
After applying the products scrunch scrunch and scrunch!!! :) I usually let my hair dry for a bit before the next step.
Step 4:
With a defuser, scrunch and dry the hair. I usually do this till my hair is completely dry and then style to my liking.
the end!!!!

During the week:
Once a week I apply the Moroccan Oil Intense Hydrating Mask for about 45 minutes after I shampoo my hair. 
On days where my hair is not freshly done or a bit of a mess I add a bit of the Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie to style the hair and get any fly away hairs in place! 

Hope you enjoyed my hair care routine!!!

The Smell Of Change

Jumper/ ASOS Boots/ UB Sweater/ H&M Necklace/ (london) Watch/ Swatch Lips- Twig- MAC
Hello once again. This jumper was given to me by my lovely mom and dad for Christmas and I must say I am completely in love. The fitting was just perfect (which is a surprise because usually I have to try on these types of clothing before purchasing) and the color is completely versatile!
Spring semester makes its appearance tomorrow and to be honest its entirely bittersweet. 
Praying you have a lovely start of the semester!
