13 things I'm wishing for

I felt a little materialistic upon deciding to create this post, but let's face it, unless you're not human, you're probably wishing for some things, too.  Here's my top 10 (in no particular order, as usual):

1. This trench.

2. This dress.

3. This cabinet.

4. This bag.

5. These boots.

6. This pup.

7. These jars.

8. This necklace.

9. This Leica.

10. This locket.

11. This skirt.

12. This light switch.

13. This dress.

You guys know my birthday is soon, right?  Size small dress/skirt/tops, size 7 shoe.  Kthx.  ;)

street style

LOTS of pictures with this one! My friend and fellow blogger Jamie and I went out on a bit of a photo adventure today. 

OUTFITS

hers: dress - H&M // vest - Blue // boots - Marshalls // hat - Forever21 // necklace - vintage

me: top - American Eagle // shorts - Forever21 // shoes - H&M // rings - topshop & Primark

We went to this gorgeous, run down gas station near our houses. The colors are brilliant.

We had so much fun! We already have another spot in mind for our next shoot. :)

I Hate Shorts

Okay, so the title is pretty self explanatory: I hate shorts. I'll wear them around the house every once in awhile but it's veeeeery rare you'll see me out in public in them. When it's hot I prefer a dress a skirt. However, today I came across some high-wasted shorts and decided to try them on. Surprisingly enough I actually liked them.

I apologize for posting creepy headless photos. I was using the self-timer on my phone, propped up against my iced coffee, and it was slightly tricky to get a good composition. Also, my hair was a mess so I decided it wasn't really necessary that my head be included!

Still feel kinda weird in shorts, but I think these have potential. I love the high-wasted style. I think they add back a little bit of class to outfits that is taken away with today's extreme-short-shorts.

What do you guys think? Yea or nay??

seventies vibes

A few of the many reasons why I was a fan of today's outfit:

It was airy enough for the warm air outside...

Yet warm enough for the cool air inside.

It was appropriate for work...

Yet easily changed into an outfit for my yoga class.

(kept on the leggings and switched out the top. no shoes necessary.)

Not to mention I was really diggin' the 70s vibe.

(I'd like to point out that once again my 4 year old took this.)

Top: Forever 21

Leggings: Forever 21*

Necklace: Jade elephant, given to me as a birthday gift

Ring: Forever 21

*Okay, it's clear I rock a lot of items from Forever 21. Their clothes are cute. However, the quality is not the best. I don't think this is much of a secret. I just wanted to point out the awful experience I had with this top and these leggings. I bought both recently, and when I got home I realized the top had 4 holes in it already. Unfixable holes. I took it back and they were reluctant to exchange it (since I'd already taken the tag off-- even though I still had the tag as well as the receipt) but they did. I'm hoping the one I exchanged it for stays in tact. When I wore the leggings for the first time, I noticed a lot of fabric bunched up at my right ankle (normal, seeing as I'm 5'2" and have short legs) but not at my left. When I took them off that night I laid them out on my floor... and found that the right leg was literally 3-4 inches shorter than the left. Ridiculous!! Anyways, rant over. I still like them!

CHEERS!

summer vibes

After the longest winter of my life, I am beyond happy to say it is FINALLY WARM! 

Summer outfits are my favorite.

(except for when it's fall, then I say fall outfits are my favorite)

I'm grateful I work a job with a pretty lax dress code.

It was hot and humid outside today, so I chose this outfit 

(plus a cardigan (not pictured) to wear in the office since temps get quite low in there).

(I'd like to point out that my 4 year old took this photo ^ for me)

Glasses: The Icing (inexpensive & a cute accessory)

Necklace: Forever 21

Ring: Topshop (I think?)

Tank: Forever 21

Maxi: American Eagle

Sandles: Forever 21

HAPPY SUMMER!!
