My first blog post for 2016 is fitting for anyone who's been trying to cope with this whacky NJ weather! Just a couple of weeks ago it was a balmy seventy degrees, and now it has been absolutely freezing. 

I've got five tips for how to survive winter in New Jersey, and if you're not up to braving the cold wind, just grab a cup of hot chocolate and wish for spring. 

It's basically impossible to not look cute in a beanie. Girls look cute. Guys look cute. Babies look cute. Everyone looks cute in a beanie! Bonus? They keep your head and ears warm. Pom or no pom, you decide! 

Sure, men's pullovers look great on guys, but oversized pullovers look great with leggings and a pair of boots. I feel like guys' clothes also tend to be a hundred times comfier, which seems unfair to us girls. Plus, they're going to be so warm for the winter. 

Onesies are essential, even when you're an adult. They're cozy and comfy and the ultimate lazy outfit for when you don't want to face the snow and just stay in and watch movies all day. Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. 

When the snow hits, you definitely don't want to be blinded by the sun. Make sure you've got a good, chic pair of sunnies to help protect your eyes.

Boots boots boots boots. Drill it in your mind. A quality made, sturdy, all-weather boot is exactly what you need to survive the winters. They can be dressed down or up depending on the kind of vibe you're going for. They'll be good to you in slush and snow and keep you comfy for treks into the city. 

Despite the fact that Jersey is still experiencing warm weather (UGH), today's post is all about the trendiest fall pattern this season: plaid.

Plaid is pretty much a staple in my wardrobe all year round thanks to flannels, but I've noticed that it's basically on everything this year. Just go to Target and you'll see what I mean. 

Thank you so much Rocksbox for this opportunity! I loved working with you! 

I received my July Rocksbox a little late because I loved my first box so much, but I love this one even more! Can we appreciate the watermelon pink ribbon on this month's box? It's sooooooo cute! 

Happy Fridaaaaaaay! 

Today I have a little sunglasses haul for you guys! The great thing is that these babies are inexpensive and still fabulously chic - a win, win situation. 

I found Sunglass Spot (@sunglassspot on Instagram) on Instagram. Their page features a ton of beauty and fashion vloggers/bloggers. 

I instantly loved how they looked just like the trendiest styles that would normally cost hundreds of dollars, but the best thing about these glasses is that they only cost $5 each! Shipping is only $5 as well, so all in all this is the sunglass website for you college girls on a budget. 

Hi ladies! A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by Rocksbox to try out their company. If you don't know what Rocksbox is, it's a subscription jewelry service. For $19 a month, you'll get three pieces of designer jewelry that you can try. You can borrow, swap, or buy whenever you want! 

I've finally caved in to the beautiful BaubleBar ... 

If you don't know what BaubleBar is, it's an online jewelry website that specializes in statement pieces as well as beautiful dainty ones too. On Monday's and Friday's, they have Buried Baubles that are discounted just for that day until they run out! 

Hello June and bye to my paycheck, haha. Oh well, that's the price you pay for fabulous accessories, right? 

Hellllooooooo ladies! 

Before I wanted to post about my weekend, I wanted to get this up on my new purse! I splurged and bought this for my birthday because I desperately wanted a new bag ( #treatyoself). I got a great deal on this bag from Poshmark; brand new with tags and less than half of the original price.

Today is all about my favorite accessories! 

I'm not one to spend too much time on my outfit; it's usually just comfy and simple but I like to wear a view pieces of jewelry that make my outfit more 'me.'
