My Style Inspirations / Staple Pieces

It  has taken me a while to actually think about what to say during my blog post. Reason being is because my style is kinda different yet same. Where I live, all of the girls wear only Brandy Mellville and Urban Outfitters. I'm not saying that there in nothing wrong with those stores! But i'm VERY tired of seeing the same stuff. Thats when i started realizing  preppy/southern clothing. I remember i had just figured out preppy style, it was over the summer and i was on youtube and started becoming obsessed with Sarabellex93 and Themakeupbydanielle. I started really realizing that there was something different then what people around me were wearing!

And of course I fell in love with it! I love how sweet and polished the clothes look! A lot of my inspiration did come from youtube, but it also defiantly came from different bloggers!

I also put together a little "Guide to Sophia's Style" if you will.:) Basically its just what i wear a lot, or what i would wear it i had it!:)




1. A Monogrammed Jacket : These are so comfy and warm, perfect for those winter days you don't want to dress up on. Plus they have your monogram which makes everything 10 times better! I don't actually have on of these, but i am planing on getting one really soon. They can get a little pricy , but to me they are totally worth it!

2. Staple Necklaces: Staple necklaces are such a must have in my wardrobe! I wear a necklace like the rose one, at least 3 times a week! It makes your outfit look so much more fun and classy ( depends the way you style it). They can be very versatile to! You can wear them to school and work!

3. Riding Boots: For fall time, you must have a good pair of riding boots. Even if they are so plain they still look so cute with any outfit! My favorite way it to wear a trench coat with them, one cold days.  They give you such a classy look! I actually had to give away my italian boots away because they were to small, but i if i could have any riding boots in the world, i would have the Tory Burch ones:)

4. Ballet Flats: It's always a good idea to have a good pair of flats. I personally really only like neutral colors when it comes to shoes. So when i buy flats i like to get rather black, brown , or nude color. But one good thing, is that they look good year round! You could pair some flats with some jeans and a sweater in the winder, and some shorts and a blouse in the summer!

5. Button Up Collared Shirt: Another one of my must haves! Collard shirts are very simple and classic! They also look good with staple necklaces ;) .  They can latterly go from day to night! A perfect day look to me is a denim collared shirts, some black leggings, and rose staple necklace long with some nude colored sandals!


Hope this helps you guys get to know me better!

Finals Tips!

I feel as if my school is the only school who hasn't taken their finals until this week :) But since some of us hasn't taken are finals yet, i thought i would share some of my tips on studying for finals! For the people who have already studied for their finals, maybe these tips could help you for your upcoming test!





1.) Self Control
     I Recently discovered this app for my computer. If your a person who gets distracted while you on the computer, ( especially if your supposed to be doing school work ;) ) tun this app will defiantly help! What you do is search "SelfControl" into the internet and then find the website that lets you download the application. And then what you is that you set a timer for the time you want to not go onto your websites that distract you. And then what it does is that it blocks you from your sites. It is super helpful, because trust me I am the #1 Procrastinator!




2.) Organized Agenda
    This is a ESSENTIAL to even doing good in school! Keeping a organized agenda can just keep you on top of things in general! One way is to write out the days you have your exam, and then on the days before your exam, you just write in the things you need to do to prepare for your exam! Like one day you could review the study guide, or another day you could read through the textbook!




3.) To-Do List
    This is another essential to doing good! To-Do lists are a perfect way to help you know what to do list. For me, Each of my study days, i write out the things i need to do. Such as study vocal or tripe up an essay. One other good tip is to add in things that you already to on a daily basis!  Like shower or make your bed. This way when you look at your to do list, your motivated to do more things on your list!



4.) Healthy Food
    Heathy Food is a important thing to have! Usually you would be good to go for some fruit and some healthy little snacks. My personal favorites are wheat thins! For me when every i get hungry i like to just snack on little things! And Wheat Thins are very small and don't keep me so attached an make me keep on eating. But if I'm in the mood for some chocolate, I would go for some  Kit Kat Bite size. They are the perfect size and they are so darn good!:)



5.) A Plan 

    Usually i do this month, where i basically write down my goals for that month. This can defonily apply to your finals! All you do is write down you major goals for that time. So it could be for you to finish all of your study guides or to read through a entire book! This can defiantly help you think ahead of what you need to do for the furture!


Good Luck!

Obsession: Perfumes


  Lately I have really been trying new things. Usually I'm the last person to try something new, but its actually have been really challenging my self. One things that i have been trying out are perfumes. One thing i was afraid of was of spending $40, and then ending up not liking it. But so far it has been a good experience!



Some perfumes that i have mostly been loving are the Marc Jacobs Perfumes. Originally i loved Daisy, but then i realized that the other perfumes like Honey and Dot perfume. I love how they smell very feminine and not so strong. At least to me:)

I also and a BIG fan of the Pink Suger perfume I have loved that perfume for the longest time. I love how sweet and cute smells. If you know what i mean:)

One of my all time favorite perfumes is the Victoria Secret Fresh & Clean Smell. The name truly sticks to the smell, because it actually does smell like you clean and "polished".  Its probably my most favorite perfume, especially when you take a shower and have to go somewhere.

Comment Down Bellow some of your favorite perfumes! I would love to try them out!

New Years Resolution

New Years Resolutions


 Hey Guy’s! So its officially 2014! I really wanted my first post of this new year to be about my new years resolutions! I know that everyone is probably thinking about what their goals should be for this year, but here are my goals! Maybe they will give you some inspiration!





Online:

Be consistent with my uploading schedule. As you guys know, i am notorious for not uploading on my planned uploading days, but this year i want it to change! I really want to focus on planing and preparing, so i think this is a perfect way to practice!
Interact and find more blogs. I really want to get familiar with people who share common with me! Plus it would be pretty cool to know people all around the country!

School:

Have A’s and B’s. Like everyone else, i need to maintain my grades and keep on shooting for very good grades during high school.
Take on more leadership roles. I find that leadership roles are perfect to keep you on task and to give you more responsibility. They also help you with communication and team building! Plus they look good on college apps:)

Personal:

Be more dedicated to things. For some reason, i always find my self always wanting to do stuff, but then giving up when i realize that its hard. Which is why i really want to work hard and dedicate my self to things and to not just give up when i run into a difficult spot in work,
Plan things out ahed of time, instead of right before. This is mostly for blogging and school work. I really need to try to stop procrastinating and start really thinking about hints ahead of time so i’m prepared.

Keep a journal and become closer to god. For years and years i have been trying to keep a healthy relation ship with everyone, but the one i mostly wanted to keep a good relationship was with god. I feel that if i am comfortable with him, it will give me more confidence that i need. I know it sound kinda crazy, but i really want to do that and i think it will be beneficial to me :) And i think by keeping a journal can help me talk about my feelings and also can help me with writing  :)


Well i hope you guys liked this post! I really want t commit to these resolutions / goals! I think halfway through the year, I am going do a update on my new years resolutions and how I'm doing with keeping up with them! Comment down bellow what your New Years Resolutions!

xoxo,
Sophia
