Study Space

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello all!!!

 

With the spring semester approaching, or has already begun for some, I decided to share my "study space"!

 

As a commuter, I have TONS of options to get some peace and quiet both at home and on campus. But I love coming home to my own room and sitting down at my desk.

 

Interestingly, I don't actually do much school work at my desk let alone at home. I usually do most of my work on campus mainly because I get too distracted at home. I find myself most productive at school with a big iced coffee of course!! :-)

 

Aside from that, I have to say, I love the little corner in my room I have delegated for my desk area. I've had this desk since I was very young and never really understood what I would use it for. I always did homework at the kitchen table and instead found myself using the chair to put my clean clothes I needed to put away on, and using the top as a table for all of my stuff.

 

During my recent winter break I found myself using it more and I finally think I've found the perfect set up for myself and my desk. Surprisingly, I find myself actually wanting to sit at it and do a million different things.

 

I think part of it is because I love the way it looks.  On one corner, I have keepsakes from my boyfriend and many silly little things we've found or done throughout out four year relationship. I still smile every time I look that way and think of him.  I always wanted to keep pens on my desk and finally found the perfect container! How freaking adorable is this mason jar?? Yes, I bought it like this and it actually came with a gold cover. I filled it with colorful pens which I love to use for basically anything I can! I also LOVE keeping a coaster close. My favorite thing recently is to scroll through pinterest while drinking my coffee. I actually find myself doing that most days. I finish it with this adorable desk calendar which I actually found online and just put it in the frame to stay nice.

 

I also love keeping a calendar like this on my desk. Although I don't really use it, I love the way it looks and keeps my desk neat. You'll also notice I keep my planner and these adorable notepads I got. It just reminds me to actually use them!!

 

I hope you guys enjoyed this post!! I loved sharing my little corner with you all.

 

What does your study space look like??

 

With love,

Mariss

Layered Up for Date Night

 Welcome back!!

 

My winter break is almost over so naturally I am trying to spend the last few days off with loved ones and doing fun things!

 

My boyfriend and I attempted to go to the movies the other night for date night (it was sold out so we ended up getting tickets for another night) and I fell in love with this outfit. It is perfect for a movie night! Overall, its comfortable enough to sit in a movie theatre seat but yet it is still stylish and cute for a date!

 

I love this giant cowl neck sweater or poncho that I got last fall. It is super cozy and comfortable yet totally chic! I decided to pair it with a long sleeve shirt for some extra layers and I love how this combination turned out.

 

Also- I love these jeans and I think it paired perfect with the sweater! I love dark denim for nighttime and paired with dressier sweaters!!!

 

Finally, I finished the look with these adorable moccasins. These are Minnetonka and I love them more than any other moccasins I've had because the are not furry inside. Surprisingly, they are still warm but do not leave your feet sweaty and smelly. Also- I've worn these a ton and they have never stretched out which I feel the furry ones do.   

 

 

I wish everyone a great start to their spring semester (for my college gals) or for everyone else a great week!!

 

What is your favorite date night activity?

 

With love,

Mariss

Flashback Friday

 

 

 

 

Welcome back!!!

 

I decided to post about my favorite fall outfit that I never really told you guys about. I actually wore this for my birthday dinner with my boyfriend's family and I love how it turned out!!

 

Also- Its been so cold that I wish I was back in the fall season, in the picture it was 60 degrees and at the time seemed really cold!! Now I know what cold really feels like!!!

 

I decided to pair my burgundy vest with this flannel. The colors are a little off, but I still think it looks great. In addition, I love that this flannel has gold detailing. I'm not sure if you can tell from the pictures but instead of buttons it actually has gold snaps and has gold studs on the shoulders!

 

I paired the top with some dark distressed jeans and finished the look with moccasins.

 

This outfit could totally be worn during the winter! I actually have worn it recently and just changed it up a little. I paired it with plain dark jeans and brown riding boots instead so I was a little warmer!

 

 

I hope you guys enjoyed this look! It is one of my favorites!!!

 

Have a great weekend!!

 

With love,

 

Mariss

Winter Favorites

 

 Hello loves!!!!

 

I am back with another post! I decided to tell you guys about recent favorites for winter!! In New York where I live specifically it does get super cold and it does snow but nothing compared to what other parts of the state get luckily!!

 

It was actually great timing because it snowed the day before I shot these pictures but then suddenly began to snow right as we took them!!

• Micheal Kors Down Coat (Macy's)

Its super warm yet super light!! Great for the winter (especially on campus) and super glamorous!!!

•  Fur Infinity Scarf  (Nordstrom Jrs)

Kinda giant but super cozy and a simple yet great accessory!!

•  Sunnies (Tory Burch)

These were a Christmas present and I am obsessed!! They are my first pair of designer sunglasses and I'm obsessed. I love that they are tortoise so they match with everything! GO MOM!!

• Longchamp 'Small Le Pliage' Shoulder Bag

These are great bags. Especially while I am on break because I can basically throw everything I need in there! I also love the fabric and especially this color.

• Gloves  (American Eagle)

I am a sucker for pink and hearts so these were an obvious favorite. They are so warm and so cute! Also-they are tech so you can use them with any touchscreen phone!

• Hunter Rain Boots (Bloomingdales)

These were also a Christmas gift and I have been wearing them non-stop! I love that they can match so many things and can be worn with a dressy outfit or leggings and a sweatshirt.

• Dual Pearl Earrings (Ann Taylor LOFT)

Love these statement earrings!!! So classic but so chic! I've been wearing these since I got them.

•  Louis Vuittion Keychain

Although this was a birthday/anniversary gift I was given in October I have recently been finding more and more uses for this baby!

•  Dark Nails (Wearing "Material Girl" by Essie)

I love a good dark manicure! Especially in the winter!! I love deep burgundy and purple. Most of the winter (pretty much since October) I've had dark polish on!

I hope you guys enjoyed this post! It was fun to take pictures in the snow!!

 

What are your current favorites??

 

 

With love,
