Lucky Treasures

Tomorrow I'm off to school again, I'm all packed up and ready. I can not wait to get back to school with my friends and boyfriend all the time, plus I love the town my school is in with a passion.

In the meantime I wanted to show you some treasures I got today from a family friend:

11 pairs of vintage heels, all gorgeous and made in either Italy, Spain or Brazil.

I can not wait to wear them to my internship!

Wish me luck moving in tomorrow!

Panic attack kind of day

Like I said in my last post, I went to the city again yesterday, for more news I don't want to say here yet. I'm sorry for keeping you all hanging, I'm sure you could guess some of it though just by the way I'm dressing! I didn't have time to take pictures outside but I couldn't help but show off this gorgeous dress from the Forever 21 in Times Square I was talking about! The stitching detail is wonderful, and so is the fabric. I love the zipper the most.

Surprise! The soles of my heels match my dress, this was not intentional but I love it anyways. Good job Christian Siriano for foreseeing that I was going to wear a turquoise dress with your heels one day.

Tomorrow I'm going to a Hanson concert, bring on the MMBops and all.

The Good Old Days

Today I went to my cousin's graduation party and when I got home I found a goodie from my Pop-Pop! He left me a magazine called Reminisce the tag like is "The magazine that brings back the good times" and the cover had a vintage picture of a girl in a bikini. How could I not love it already? It's filled with old articles, old ads and old pictures along with recipies! It really is a great magazine. I have no idea where my Pop-Pop found it or why he had it but I'm so glad that I got my hands on it.

Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from articles you can read in the magazine:

How I Met My Spouse:

The colors in these photographs are how I wish every picture could look now, it's so rich and classic, and so vintage. I'm in love with it.

Doesn't this magazine look great? If you can ever find or get your hands on this grab it, it's such a great find with perfect pictures to hang on your walls after you read the articles :)

Blue and white obsession

I have recently been obsessed with anything blue and white - basically channeling Zooey Deschanel, vintage and china tea patterns. Which brings me to what I wore today. Ever since I went for my first interview at Zara I have been eyeing a skirt with the best pattern and colors (blue and white of course) with bicycles all over! I've been drawn to odd prints with the influence of Rebecca from The Clothes Horse who always has the best clothing with the coolest prints! So I finally purchased the skirt and wore it as soon as I could!

I paired all this blue and white with brown accessories, I love the combination so much for some reason and it was the only color I pictured with this skirt. I also tried a different look instead of a tank top tucked in I opted for this baggy crop top shirt and belted it, I love how it came out.

This bag was one of my first vintage purchases like 4 years ago, I was real into the 60's hippie look and I saw this and couldn't pass it up, I still love it!

Perfect Outfit for rainy summer days

I stole this outfit idea from Refinery 29, I got an email today with an outfit I had never thought of, and something that I could easily do on my own so I went for it! Thank you Refinery 29 for the idea!

Here's my twist on it, I went with a black button down stole from my dad's work clothing and this amazing maxi skirt I've had for about a year now that I can wear so many ways, the colors in this skirt are my favorite! So bright and fun, this is usually something I would never wear. It's probably the most daring obnoxious piece of clothing I own.

BBQs and board games

My day off from Zara was spent with my friends having a BBQ and playing board games all day, it was the perfect day off and so relaxing. I took a couple outfit pictures in front of my friend's 2 foot "swamp" in the back of her yard, which is actually pretty picturesque all though very buggy.

Skirt; Old Navy (so old)

Back to work tomorrow, I have off Tuesday so expect an outfit post then!

Everyday is a blur

Today I visited a family friends house that happens to be a farm with the Delaware River in the backyard, nice right? Of course I knew it was the perfect place to take my pictures today.

I finally got my hands on the giveaway bag I won thanks to Meg from Another Day to Dress Up, I was so excited to finally see it! Its perfect, has a million pockets and of course the map print makes it the best thing ever!

Welcome Back

After a full day of unpacking I finally have everything in it's place back home again, my clothes are folded and put away and theres nothing on my floors. I cleaned out a bunch of things from my closet including shoes and purses and I'm going give them to a consignment shop later in the week and hopefully get some money for them!

I totally forgot I owned this shirt (used to be a dress - I was just going to hem it..but I cut it too short, so now its a shirt) because it was tucked away in my closet. I'm so thrilled I found it, it's perfect for summer!

Ring; LuShae Jewelry

Sunglasses; Forever 21

Sarah from LuShae Jewelry very kindly gave me the chance to pick any jewelry from her site and review it. Of course I went for a ring, rings are my absolute favorite but it was such a hard choice. LuShae Jewelry has such a great selection of gorgeous pieces, all for a cheaper price than retail. The website has tons of information about jewelry, what kind of diamonds to buy, how to clean jewelry as well as information on each piece with sizes, weight, colors and more! I had a hard time picking but ended up with the Silversun ring! I was thrilled when I finally got it.

It came in a very cute box that I will definitely keep:

I'm in love with the thickness of the ring, it's actually pretty heavy which I like as well, I've been wearing it for two days straight, it's such a wonderful piece of jewelry that is so classic and I know I'll have for such a long time! (Oh, and I've been using it as a little mirror which is a plus! haha)

Thank you so much Sarah for the opportunity-

Everyone go visit LuShae Jewelry and get some great pieces

Bonjour!

I'm finally back from the Bronx Zoo! I had such a great time with my boyfriend walking around seeing everything possible. I think my favorite part was the Peacocks roaming around the park (and following me ^.^) they are gorgeous animals and all their combinations of feathers so close up were amazing and seeing Red Pandas (my second favorite - Panda's my first). I wore the dress I had purchased at the Manhattan Vintage Clothing show I talked about in the last post here.

Now and Then

The outfit I wore today wasn't really inspired by anything until I had the urge to watch the movie Now and Then, I figured my outfit was very children in the 1960s like the movie. I'm in love with the outfits and the music in this movie, if you have not seen it...go rent it, buy it or download it. I've loved the movie since I was like 6, thanks to my mom! (thanks mom).

As I'm typing this I'm singing these lyrics in my head you are my candy girl, and you've got me wanting youuuuuu because it reminds me so much of this movie.
