Hey all!

It is officially September. I have broken out my fall candles/sprays and even ordered a new blanket scarf. Even though it's still in the 90s here in AZ and probably won't be cooling down until end of October, it doesn't mean I can't cheat the system! Even though it is still rather hot here I usually cheat and wear summer items with my fall items until I can fully transition into cardigans, boots, and sweaters. Here are just a few tips I find helpful:

Back-To-Campus Look

Hey all!

I have already put up my back to school backpack essentials a few weeks ago. Which is super close to what I have in my backpack this year.  But I decided to do a back to campus look of what I normally wear to my classes. Plus showing off my backpack! I was planning on doing a flatlay of all my items but decided not to since you guys already know from the other post what I have. If you want me to go over what I have in my backpack then I totally can just comment below!

School starts on Monday for me! I am excited for this year to start with my new adult job and my last year and semester of school left. I think everyone their senior year or last stretch they are just ready to already graduate. Which is totally me right now, I am so ready to be done and out in the world with a degree!

Anyway, so usually when I am on campus I wear a college t-shirt and jeans/shorts and birkenstocks. Since I am sitting for so long I just want to be comfy. But for this post, I usually wear something a little nicer now since I am coming and going from my job. I opt for a bralette and a cotton tee that has some time of criss crosses on it. With some distressed jeans, these light wash with distressed cuffs is my favorite. I have these rose gold birks and then my initial necklace.

Hope you enjoy!

Backpack Essential's

Hey all!

I hope your first week of school(if you have started or are about to start) is fabulous! Last week wasn't my favorite but hey, we all have bad weeks and this week is a new one I am going to make a positive one to the best of my ability!

I plan on doing a full post on a back to school outfit paired with my own personal backpack essentials. I just have to find the time to drive to my college's campus and make sure the photos are good enough to share on here. So be patient with me it is coming!

In the meantime, this post is just a flatlay of my back to school essentials for this year. I really loved doing this last year I feel like was something you guys really enjoyed and liked. So I decided to do it again!

Bralette Review Ft. Stylzoo

Hey all!

I have a review for you guys today on some bralettes from Stylzoo. I loved the last bras from them so I had to try the bralettes when I was told they were going to sell them next. You can find the bralette here if you're interested in buying one!

I am going to go ahead and say they do run small. So ordering at least a size or two up is helpful. Especially if you're me and are more endowed in the chest area. Overall they fit rather comfortably and I like that they have a hook in the back to make it criss-cross.

I loveeee the colors of both of these are blush and a mauve. The camera doesn't do the mauve justice because it honestly is so beautiful in person. The lace also isn't scratchy like most materials. It is really soft and comfortable on my skin. 

They also have some new comfy bras if you wanna try those first here.

Hope you enjoyed!

Tulle Skirts & Collabs

Hey all!

I hope your weekend was long and spent by the pool! Because mine was well spent with some amazing friends. I got to celebrate a birthday with a good friend on Friday, then had a pool day on Saturday, but on Sunday I got to see one of my oldest friends.



But most importantly I am really excited to announce this collab with Rylie. She is a photographer in Tempe and extremely talented. Her site is here and she already has some of her projects up. I am an incredibly proud of her work and a humble friend lucky to collaborate with her.

We ended up getting lunch and catching up like no time has passed. We ended up exploring and finding some fun buildings to shoot at. I am excited for more photos with her in the future!

Her photos of me are also here on her site and she has tons more to go through. I definitely recommend her she has a great eye and is easy to work with if you're looking for someone to take your photos this summer!

Enjoy!

Easter Wear

Hey all,

Can we just talk about what I wore to Easter for a moment? Because I bought this dress from Old Navy's plus size site and I am absolutely in love with it. I have wanted a chambray dress for spring for a while and this one has scalloped hem and laser cutouts & off the shoulder perfect for spring.

Old Navy has been killing it for Spring fashion!! I think I am going to do a post on ONLY Old Navy clothes for Spring. I also got my booties from Old Navy. The laser cutouts and an open toe make it breathable for that Spring/Summer weather. They're also extremely comfortable. I have some other classic Spring trend outfits I want to do soon and give my version or take on them!

I am wearing one of my favorite bracelets from Boho Betty in this photo. It's called the Red Sea Tassel and they have a few different colors on their website and I want them ALL.  Click here if you want to see more from them and use the code MALORISCLARKFIRST for some money off your order! I love this company and the jewelry they offer is super high quality I can't wait to buy and talk about more of their products.

Enjoy!

California Sun

Hey all!

I realized I never got the chance to talk about my Spring Break trip with my best friend!

A few weeks ago I got the chance to take a trip with one of my close friends since high school. We went for two days and the first day was spent driving. Which wasn't that bad at all. We had a few wrong directions but that's okay because it was an adventure! We listened to some classic songs from the late 80s-early 00s. Once we got there and checked in we immediately got into our suits and went to the beach before it got dark.


It was super peaceful and we brought a small speaker to play some music, brought a few books, and prayed the birds wouldn't poop on us. Later that night we went to get dinner and drinks at Yard House and just walked around.

The next day we got up early for breakfast and headed down for a longer day at Mission Beach. That water was FREEZING. I don't recommend getting in it in March because my friend and I couldn't feel our bodies. I also always burn so I put on a ton of sunscreen and even reapplied and guess who still got burned? ME! We then went and dried off and decided to walk around and looked at the boardwalk and I ended up getting a shirt and a few things for some friends. We saw this huge waffle cone store and ended up getting some ice cream.

After that, we decided to drive/walk around and look for a place to eat. Went to this place called Duck Dives (love the name) and tried some fun foods. It was an open front bar and had a cool atmosphere. Then that was the last thing we did and started making the long trek home.

Overall we had such an amazing bonding experience and just an incredible time. It was fun to get away for a few days and relax. I put all the info from my outfits and items I am wearing down below. If I didn't list something go ahead and comment and I can tell you! I will be doing two posts soon on a swimsuit look and of the outfit I wore out with a better quality camera!

I hope you enjoyed!

Making My Own Clothes

Hey all!

So update I turned 21 on Tuesday! WOHOOOO!!! I honestly had the most amazing time. My roommate had a get together at our apartment and toasted with me and I got to meet her friends and they were all nice/great people. Then my 2 best friends joined me for dinner for drinks and pazookie. If you must know BJs is my fav fav favorite restaurant. I did have class the next day so nothing crazy but it was still memorable. We ended up going back to my apartment to play board games and  mingle with her friends.

I am excited to post this outfit because... I made this shirt! I am incredibly proud of it and cant stop wearing it. My mom helped me with the pattern and picking something simple enough where I could work on it without her. I got that sewing machine for Christmas and so far I feel like a kid again getting to play with my big kid toy all the time. I have a vest I am working on now but I love this shirt. It turned out great.

I also got a new editing system for my photos which has me really excited. So bear with me while I find what I like since I am not used to it yet. I also am back in school so I am gonna try my best to have outfits lined up for posts but I may have to take a week or two break to make time for classes. But I promise I have some fun stuff lined up!

I hope you enjoyed my ramble and this outfit!

The Creme Vest

Hey all!

As you can see I got a haircut! It was much needed and I like the length when I curl it is always perfect. I love my hairstylist Lyndsey is great and she colored my hair a few weeks ago too. She is in Phoenix at Comb Sweet Comb if you live nearby I definitely recommend her. I am also back in Tucson now and classes will be starting soon which I am not too excited about. All my classes will be grueling so I am a tad nervous about that. And I could use at least one more week of break!


I have been looking into plus size boutique stores, and even just different plus size stores in general. I feel like its easy to get stuck in your circle of stores you shop at because you are familiar with them or they're popular brand. But I want to branch out and try other brands and stores and thats how I found this vest. Which has quickly become one of my favorite things in my wardrobe. I found this site called Curvy Sense and its not super cheap and whenever you're buying from a new online store you have to be careful because you have no idea how its made or the material or if they are true to size. but the material is really nice quality I am really impressed and I can tell it's going to last me awhile.

Tomorrow is my birthday!! I feel so old and I don't really have much planned but I am gonna take a few days to readjust to my school/work schedule and then post maybe on Friday. I have something special to post about because I got this sewing machine from Christmas and I made a shirt and I am quite proud of it. So I will be styling it and posting about it!

I hope you enjoyed this outfit!

New Year New Blanket Scarf

Hey all!

Happy New Year!!!! I hope everyone had a safe and fun time the other night because I know I did. One of my longtime friends and I got all dressed up and went to dinner. Which was so good I had this shrimp stuffed with lobster and mashed potatoes. After that we went back to her house to celebrate with her mom. Then we went to a few parties and just had the best time with the people there playing games, dancing, and watching the ball drop. I had such a great time and I am so excited for this new year!

I have been waiting to post these photos ever since my sister took them. She did such a great job. I have been wearing this scarf nonstop all winter break and will not apologize for it. This outfit is very minimilist and simple. I sticked to making the scarf the focus and having black outfit background with gold jewelry accents. These brown booties also have been my go to with this scarf. Overall I am just in love with this outfit.

I actually got this scarf from Screaming Owl and their site is really cute because you can do a solo scarf or you can do matching scarf with your friend as a gift or one for your daughter if you wanna match with her. The scarf is long and thick and the material is soooo soft so it has definitely been keeping me warm. Winter break is almost over for me since this is my last week and I am sad I won't have my sister's photography skills! Just kidding I will miss her and my family and then it's back to the real world.

Enjoy!

Tis The Season

Hey all!

I hope you are having a great weekend. I just finished running my errands, I got brunch at my favorite breakfast place with a friend, and then I am searching for a holiday dress for a special post. Brunch was much deserved because I just finished 3 big final projects and my hardest final. I have been struggling with this class all year. And it is the most satisfying thing when all your hard work pays off.


I only have one final left and then this semester will officially be over. Guys in all honesty 2016 has not been the best year for me. It has been a struggle and I am extremely thankful for a new year and fresh start. I am also excited to go home and see family and just have a break from school. It is nice being closer and I get to go home more often but between school and work I am mostly stuck at my apartment. But this is my favorite time of year for hot chocolate, family time, and watching White Christmas.

Next week I am doing a post strictly about my lazy holiday plans, wear, and my decor in my apartment. Keep your eyes peeled out for it. But this week I wore this outfit for my works party and I loved it and got so many compliments I knew I had to blog it. I paired my camo button down with a black sheer top and gold studded detail. I also wore my FAVORITE black ripped jeans. I seriously can't stop wearing them. Then I added some gold details for jewelry and decided on my brown booties. Overall I really like how seamless the outfit is and just flows well together.

Enjoy!
