This year has been absolutely incredible! I cannot believe it's been an entire year since I launched A Nerd in Pearls... From going to like 30 Instagram followers to almost 4,000 and quadrupling the amount of blog views I get a month, blows my mind.
I couldn't have done this without the support of my family and my awesome friends! They all love my blog and read it on a regular basis. Also thank you to everyone else who reads avidly... I love you all!! I cannot wait to see where this year takes me (psst... It might be California) and I am excited for all of you to read along. This truly is my creative outlet and I thank God every day for allowing him to let me live out and explore both parts of my personality... Super nerd by day Fashionista by night (or some times vise versa) Cheers to the first year and another cheers to many more!! -XOXO A NERD IN PEARLS

Brunch looks are always a favorite of mine! Plus this coat is EVERYTHING.
*I spy one of our pups sneaking in the picture* SHOP THE LOOK coat: SHEIN | sweater: similar HERE | jeans: American Eagle | boots: similar HERE We decided to go to Islands of Adventure and Universal studios on the coldest day of the year. WHY? Probably because we had already planned on it and when we put our minds to something and already have outfits planned for a situation... it is usually hard to deter us (I just had to add an extra jacket to the situation)! We had a blast at the parks and of course Harry Potter World is always incredible! My outfit was super warm considering I wore two jackets, a sweater and a scarf.
SHOP THE LOOK camo jacket: similar HERE | 2nd layer jacket (not pictured): Nordstrom | sweater: Forever 21 | scarf: Nordstrom | shoes: Nike
Mirina Collections creates the most gorgeous pieces of jewelry! Every piece is hand made and truly a work of art. The necklace featured above is the "Leona." I paired it with a simple black turtleneck because it is such a stand out piece that I wanted to keep everything else low key. There are several other pieces I am craving including the "Andy" necklace, the "Astor" and "Bryant" sunnies and the double sided pearl earrings. Use my code "pearls20" to get 20% off of your entire purchase!! Start shopping HERE. If I am walking around in public and someone compliments my outfit or asks me where its from there is a 50% chance I will say that it is from Forever 21. There is also a 95% chance that the person that complimented me will have a response that resembles "No way! I can never find anything there" or "Wow that does not look like it came from Forever!"
There is a method to my madness when I shop at Forever 21. I am constantly looking online at their inventory, constantly receiving their emails and I follow them on Instagram. Also, I will look at every piece, even though I know there is tons to look at. Along with going through all of the inventory I will read the comments under each piece to see how everyone that received it liked it and whether it fit like the pictures or if the quality of the material was up to par. Today I got an email saying their dresses were 60% off, tops are 70% off and their accessories are up to 50% off... PLUS AN EXTRA 30% OFF (using code EXTRA30)!!!!!!!!! BTW this sale ends on the 18th so get to it! This is my haul from today's purchase... I got such good deals I am so excited for this package to arrive!

I am so obsessed with wrap flats recently and these babies stole my heart the minute I laid eyes on them! I also cannot get over the fact that I only paid $10 for them... Like woah. They are the perfect POP to any simple outfit and the amount of compliments I got when I wore them was astounding!
You all have to go buy a pair!! Trust me you won't regret it! SHOP THE LOOK top: Forever 21 | jeans: Forever 21 | shoes: Charlotte Russe | bag: Michael Kors Ahhh finals are over! It is weird to not have anything but work to worry about but at least it means that I can enjoy little things like the cold weather and brunch on a Saturday. Also, I feel like I have seen this scarf all over Instagram but for good reason... it is adorable!
SHOP THE LOOK sweater: H&M | jeans: similar HERE and HERE | scarf: Shein | booties: similar HERE |
I am a college student in engineering and I love it, but my real passion is fashion. I am obsessed with all things neutral, all black clothing, expensive hand bags, and shoes with red bottoms.
