It has been a while since I have posted, but I’m excited to be back bringing you some awesome content. To kick off my return I wanted to bring you something summery and super easy to throw on any day of the week. So here is my take on being put together and still super comfortable.

This past weekend I also had the pleasure of spending some time in the Misson in San Francisco. The weather was gorgeous and the Mexican food was to die for. This striped button down was perfect for the sun and the little bit of wind I had to contend with. I love the light and airiness about it. I have been living in these Levi 501

I have been living in these Levi 501 Skinnys since I purchased them a few months back. They are definitely my favorite now that I have broken them in. If you are on the hunt for jeans that have that vintage look but don’t want to pay the ridiculous price some of them are, I would recommend checking these out!

Have a great week!

Last Minute Halloween Costume Ideas

Last Minute Costume Ideas - Vivian and Violet

Happy Fashion Friday! Today I’m bringing you some last minute Halloween costume ideas. This is for those of you who say every year your going to have an epic costume, search Pinterest and then out of no where it’s a day before Halloween! We have all been there, life happens. Moving across country, I have none of my crafty things on hand at the moment and luckily I remembered to bring my furry ears along for the journey. Here are two different ideas you can pull together with just some furry ears from your local target or corner store. All the clothes you already have in your closet and what girl doesn’t have black eyeliner in her makeup bag.

‘Cool Cat’

Aeropostale Striped tee similar // Madewell Jean Vest similar // American Eagle Cropped Jeans similar // Madewell Moto boot similar // Bandanna // Forever 21 Silver Boyfriend Watch similar 

The ‘Cool Cat’, this one is super easy! Jean vest, ripped denim, moto boots and a neck scarf are most closet staples these days. If your missing one I’m sure a girlfriend of yours has at least one or all of these. The ultimate cool girl must haves. You could also trade out the jean vest for a leather jacket. You will be the coolest cat on the block!

Here are several links to Cat Ears to help you out!

Lace Cat Ears, Sequin Leopard Ears, Studded Cat Ears, Plain Cat Ears, Target sells plain cat furry ones in store only, local Halloween stores around also always have cat ears to pick from

‘Glam Cat/Party Animal’

The ‘Glam Cat/Party Animal’, another fun and easy way to look smashing! Grab your favorite party dress, heels and some sparkly jewelry. It’s a great excuse to look classy and have some fun. If you have a group of girlfriends who are last minute with their costumes too, why not make it a group of party animals! With cocktails in hand, you girls will be the classiest party animals of the night!

If your anything like me, during the summer you feel as if your jean shorts become a fashion “go to” all the time. They become almost like part of a uniform that you utilize to stay cool and look cute. You may have more than one pair you wear like me, but everyone has their favorite. In this post I’m going to show you how I style them for certain summer activities we all love to do especially if you’re from the midwest.
