Spring Into Summer

Image
It’s that time of year again. That short period between Spring and Summer when the weather is absolutely perfect. Something you will realize about me with this blog is that I am completely obsessed with the off the shoulder look (even before it was a trend, might I add). I love this look so much it is the perfect laid back romantic summer/spring staple. This shirt and pants go great together because of the small amount of burgundy in the pattern of the shirt that matches the pants perfectly.  I also decided to have some fun with my makeup with some bright colorful shadow. I am by no means a makeup guru but I still like to have fun with makeup and experiment with new colors. What is your favorite thing about this time of year? The weather? The style? School ending? Let me know in the comments! Also don't forget to follow me on social media for style inspiration and to stay updated on posts! Instagram: @cup_ofjules Twitter: @Cup

Weekend Wrap-Up May 21st

Image
Song of the Week: Malibu~Miley Cyrus. I know i’m pretty shocked by this too. But it's a catchy feel good tune and I’m pretty sure this will be my song of the summer. Currently Reading: The Hobbit. I started it over Easter and now that finals are over I’ve finally had time to read it. I’m loving it so far, this is the pinnacle of an epic fantasy adventure. Also I have been reading a lot of contemporary novels recently so this is a nice change of pace. Quote of the Week: “This is the beginning of everything you want” This quote is extremely relevant to my life right now.  I am in a lot of beginnings right now. Beginning of summer, beginning of my internship, and of course the beginning of this beautiful blog I have created and already love with my whole heart. Life Update:This week concluded the second week of my summer internship. It was also the weekend of our summer exhibition at the museum. On Friday night we had a members gallery opening. This opening was so much

Starting With the Basics

Image
For my first official blog post I decided to start with a classic. And what is more basic and classic than a white button down shirt and jeans. I love the casual breeziness of this look and the fact that is it a true classic staple. I decided to amp up this look with a bold red lip and a large floppy hat.  This look is also perfect for this springtime, when the weather is nice but you're not quite ready for shorts and a tank just yet.  One thing you should know about me now, is that I always like to have fun with style. Whether it's fun prints, statement accessories, or bold makeup I will always do my best to bring my look up a notch but still feel comfortable and confident in my look. Because honestly it doesn't matter if you are wearing the most basic or out there thing, if you wear it with confidence you will always shine!  Tell me some of your favorite classic pieces? What is a item that you think will never go out of style? Feel free to comment

I am also lucky enough to have an internship at a local art museum this summer and will be talking about my experience with that. My goal with this blog is to make everything attainable and real. So yes you can afford the clothes I showcase, and you can easily make the recipes I make. This blog is about sharing ideas, inspiration, and having fun with it along the way. Because, why settle for an ole cup of joe when a Cup of Jules is just so much sweeter! Here are Links to my social medias so you can keep up with all the posts and goings on in my life.
