It's back to school for me tomorrow, and I want to start off the year fresh with a sweet and simple blouse and skirt combo. I love the combination of navy and yellow, especially because navy brings out the vibrancy of yellow to make it pop. For the finishing touches to the outfit, I added a gold statement necklace, a navy satchel and matching ballet flats. 

little black dress

A few days ago, I got a new haircut, and since then, have been drawn to more feminine and classic pieces. Today, I felt like wearing my favorite little black dress. I love this dress because of its length, silhouette, and the floral detailing along the neckline. I kept things simple by pairing my dress with Chanel flats and a pearl bracelet.

chocolate chunk cookies

• 
  
• For our dinner party last night, my sister and I made my favorite chocolate chip cookies. They were moist, soft, and slightly sweet, and they perfectly complemented the coffee oreo icecream we had. We had a delightful time making our own icecream sandwiches! 
• 
  
• Here's the recipe (adopted from Martha Stewart): 
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
  
  1 teaspoon baking soda
  
  
  1 teaspoon salt
  
  
  2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
  
  
  1 cup granulated sugar
  
  
  1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
  
  
  2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  
  
  1 large whole egg, plus 1 large egg white
  
  
  12 oz. semisweet chocolate chunks (about 2 cups)

My favorite trend this season by far has been the peter pan collar. My polyvore set features a blouse and skirt combo with a rhinestone peter pan collar necklace. I love this necklace because it's not brightly colored or overwhelmingly bejeweled with sequins. It's simple and refined and adds just the right amount of glamour to the outfit.
