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!
