Just take a breath

Surprise! I got the day off today! I went into Princeton with my little sister for some ice cream and shopping, which means outfit pictures yayyy!

These were taken in an alley way that has a restaurant entrance in it, the painting is so fun right? I was so glad I picked that spot because there wasn't any people around and it was quiet. Do any of you get embarrassed if you're taking pictures in a public area and theres a million people around, because I do! I try to plan places I know no one will be around haha!

These are my new sandals from Zara I just got, I'm in love! They are so comfortable and I feel like they are a little edgy perfect for summer though.

Blogger Inspired: Part 2

I wanted to do another post of a blogger inspired look that I wore today. Yesterday Jessica from Wardrobes and Whimsy had a cute casual look that was dressed up with heels and a scarf, and I thought it was perfect for the weather I'm having in New Jersey so I had to recreate it! I have done this before with an outfit from Tieka at Selective Potential here.

My Way:

it was too windy outside (of course..) so I had to go inside - I hate taking pictures inside!

533 days

After running to Target for some errands with my boyfriend we went to Barnes & Noble to kill time, of course my first stop is the magazines I usually take a Vogue from every country and look through them all but to my surprise, Lula #10 was staring right at me. I almost screamed, grabbed the only one I saw and was content, then looked down and saw a huge stack of Lula with different covers, went through the options and picked my favorite. I've been dying to get my hands on a Lula magazine who would have thought Montclair, New Jersey's Barnes & Noble would start carrying it? Not me. But I'm not complaining, it's the most amazing magazine has wonderful editorials and interviews and I'm so very happy to have one in my possession finally.

(I got excited to see the editorial I just posted about here in the issue!)

Also, I'm pleased to announce that I will be starting a "blogger of the month" type post every month but I think it's going to be more of a "blogger I admire... of the month" because I feel like blogger of the month is too cliché haha, and I got a very exciting call today about something I'm really pumped for... I can't tell you for a month or so though! Stay tuned :)

ATTENTION: I entered the "Keds Casual Style" contest on Chictopia and to my surprise, I'm actually doing pretty well so I would love it if all you lovely readers that have chictopias would vote for me! It would make me so happy! Please vote here

Otay

Even though I laid in bed most of the day watching Indian in The Cupboard and The Little Rascals, my boyfriend and I made it outside for a couple of hours. It was gorgeous outside, but my allergies are starting up so it's not so fun! I thought I'd show you some of my purchases from the last month, including some new jelly shoes that I found at Urban Outfitters in one of my new favorite colors! And I finally found a double finger ring that I love for only $8 at Hot Topic (I know Hot Topic..so cool....but hey! It's cute!)

I also am still working on my layout for the blog, a lot has changed already but more will be changing! I'm loving the way it looks! (HUGE THANKS to my boyfriend Greg<3)

I spy with my little eye

Both my classes for today were canceled so I was very excited to sleep in then spend the rest of the day outside. Today was even nicer than yesterday, I can't even tell you how happy I am to get out of my dorm and finally be outside! & I'm really loving taking outfit pictures outside, they are so much more interesting! It was really windy today so don't mind my dress flying in all different directions.

Excited

First of all, I recently reached over 300 followers! You guys have no idea how excited I am! I keep changing my goal of readers it was 300 but I guess now it has to be 400!! Thank you all for reading and commenting my blog, it means so much!

Anyways...finally I have a new outfit post for you. I went home over the weekend and found these amazing wedges in a local consignment shop, not only are they amazing looking but they are Calvin Klein! I'm not a big shoe person, or I wasn't until this year so for me to actually find these shoes and like them enough to buy them is sort of a big deal. I'm very excited to be the newest owner, they look like they were never worn before!

How awesome are those wedges really though? I'm in love, big shout out to my mommy for buying them for me! :)

Casual Friday

This is my "Casual Friday I have to wake up for an 8:30 class, I'm tired" look, I finally bought an American Apparel sash while in the city a week ago and now I can make the real turban look seen on Kansascouture and Calivintage

My new agate rock necklace from Urban Outfitters, I'm in love with it! (and I got it on sale for 10 dollars when it was really 34, win!)
