Busy busy bee

Guess what? I joined the track team! I've always loved running, so I decided to give it a try, and I'm really enjoying it (even though daily practices leave me busier and more tired than normal).

I have a couple of new pieces/new outfits that I am really excited to share with you guys, but I just haven't gotten the chance to take photos of them yet. I promise an outfit post by the end of the week! And stay tuned tomorrow for a post about the Oscars.


1. A set of makeup brushes (that I've finally gotten around to cleaning)! Side note: Check out Michelle Phan's recipe for brush cleaner here . I used her method and it really works!
2. Beach weekend with my best friend that felt like it flew by. (Is anyone else ready for summer?)
3. A city shot, taken a few weeks ago after walking out of a play with my family.
4. Weekend bike rides with friends :)

Net sweater

sweater (Forever 21) + necklace (Forever 21) + jeans (Forever 21) + boots (Steve Madden)

Sorry for the lack of posting last week guys! I joined my high schools track team, and so I've been ultra busy running, running and running some more.

I picked up this cute net sweater on my last visit to Forever 21. It caught my eye because it was just so unique! There are so many fun ways you can wear this sweater :)

Seven Henrietta St.|| A video by Kate Spade New York

This video is so charming and gorgeous. I found it around a year ago and was completely obsessed with the vintage colors and textures. Luckily I happened to stumble across it recently and was re-reminded of my love for Kate Spade's wonderful, colorful videos. Check out more at Kate Spade New York's YouTube channel here :)

Light blue

jeans (Zara) + leather jacket (H&M) + button up (Hong Kong) + boots (Ross)

I wore these fun, bright jeans today! I bought them from Zara at almost this exact same time last year. (I told you I love colored jeans!)

Mexican quinoa salad

I made this quick quinoa salad for lunch yesterday and thought I would share it with you guys.

I used this recipe from skinny taste for the veggie and black bean portion of the salad, but eyeballed all of the measurements to my liking. I then poured cooked quinoa over the top and voila!, a convenient on-the-go lunch that's packed with protein.

Follow the jump for more :)

Anorak

anorak jacket (H&M) + sweater (H&M) + jeans (Forever 21) + boots (Payless) + ring (Nordstrom)

Chilly mornings with light showers call for rain boots and anorak jackets. I'm a sucker for anything utilitarian (and warm!) like this jacket :) Check out the fun lattice ring from Forever 21 too!

My first blog award!

I was just given a blog award by Julie from Love Cordelia! I feel so honored to have been chosen :)

There are 3 rules to this award:

(for myself, as well as the bloggers I picked below)

1. Thank the person that gave you the award and link it back in your blog

2. Share 7 things about yourself

3. Give this award to 15 other bloggers and let them know about it

7 things about myself:

1. I'm still a high school student :)
2. My favorite color is blue (and sometimes yellow).
3. I am a fruit fanatic. (My favorite? Bananas. I eat at least one a day... sometimes more...)
4. I chose to name my blog Saturday Style because Saturday's are arguably the best day of the week. I get to sleep in and spend time with friends, and this is often the day I have the most free time to devote to enjoying fashion and food!

6. I've had the opportunity to travel to five of the seven continents with my family, who I love more than anything.
