a birthday dress

3 Comments »


Five things to take away from this post //

1. I like Target. A lot.
2. I have left over birthday balloons in
my room and they show up in these awkward,
selfie-like outfit photos. My bad.
3. My amazing friends know me well and gave this
dress to me as a birthday gift. Just getting around to
wearing it now but it's whatever, ya know.
4. I'm on summer vacation? Um, excuse me... how
did that even happen so fast? But I'm kinda glad it did.
5. According to this blog I only wear these boots, dresses,
and a jean jacket. Um...I promise, I don't repeat outfits that 
much. 

Side note: apologies in advance if I blind you with my
white legs. Contrary to popular belief, I do actually go
to my classes in California and so my legs seem to maintain
that nice Washington-vampire-esque look. But I mean, that's a
thing, right? Or are vampires no longer cool? .........

Recently, I noticed my strappy flat black sandals from 5 years were starting to break. (Shocker, I know). Because every time I wear them I'm now 99.9% sure THAT will be the day they totally fall apart, I started my search for the perfect summer sandal. Let me tell you, the only hard part in this will be deciding which to buy. I mean, is it too much to ask for them all? I think I'm in love.

Just a short, short, collection of the songs
I'm relying on to get me through finals.
And then...
It can be summer.
And I can return to road trips
and taking pictures of my sister
with her head out the window.
Wait, what?

Side note: I'm always on the look out for new music. 
What's made your recent playlist?

Is it legal to live at a farmers market? Because if it is, I'm totally camping out near that berry stand. Just look at them! Beautiful. In other news, we've got some hipster shoe pic, the raddest new pillow cases, a puppy that hogs my bed, and a lovely day with friends (I'm on the left, turns out Macy's has cute dresses now? I know, right?!).  Oh, and as a side note...what the summer just around the corner? Holla at ya summer! I'm coming for you.

Though it's been known for a while now that emerald was (is..) the lovely Pantone's color of the year, I still can't help but continually pull inspiration from it. In fact, one of my art classrooms has one wall that is always painted the color of the year, and while the tangerine color of 2012 was bright and vibrant, I find that emerald is a really soothing color...

So as I continue my hunt for the perfect pair of emerald green pants, for the moment I'll draw inspiration from the classic boots, a pop of nail color, the perfect spring shorts, and a satchel that I would like to have my closet meet.

PS: Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, I'll be off eating too much cake because I turned 19 and why not, right?!

best laid plans

You know how there's a little saying that mentions how your best laid plans often go astray? Yeah. So that basically sums up spring break. My intentions were to fly home, de-stress, and blog my little heart out, because the month of March was a whirlwind. That little sucker called sickness kinda sorta really messed that one up...so here I am, back at school, with 4 weeks left until summer. I. Can. Do. It! And I'm happy to be back on the good ol' blog, and I'm excited to catch up on all I've missed.

If you've been with me for a while, you may remember this dress here...hate to say it, but that may have been the last time I wore this dress. Turns out, when you move to California it becomes easier to wear dresses because you don't have to plan around tights and boots and layers. Who woulda know, right?

Oh, and happy Friday. I'm glad to be back.
