Revelations

I have realized something.  Now that school is out and I only have to work in the afternoons, I actually have time to DO stuff.  Taken over with excitement, I spent today planning and scheming.  I filled a WHOLE notebook with lists, thoughts, sketches, and ideas to make the most of the next few months.  And, to revamp this here little blog.  I finally sat down and created a posting schedule, I started planning posts in advance, and I have all my features figured out.  I'm getting organized ya'll, and I've never been so excited about that in my life.  I actually can't wait to wake up early and just start DOING.

I've been spending the past few weeks with my family and friends, and just enjoying my time.  My dad is home from working overseas, and our family will be going on vacation soon.  We'll be visiting Busch Gardens and Sea World!  Yeah I know, I'm a little kid at heart.  I love going to theme parks, they're just so fun!

I'm so excited for everything that's coming for this blog, and I can't wait to start sharing everything with you!  I hope you all are having a wonderful week, and I'll see you soon!

What I Wore: My Favorite Tights

Dress, Cardigan, Tights :: Forever21

Belt :: Charlotte Russe

Shoes :: Payless

I know, I know.  It's 90 degrees outside, and I'm wearing tights.  They're just so hard to part with!  Especially this mustard pair, it adds such a great dose of color to all my outfits.  And can you believe it? I actually had a good hair day today!

So in other news, I finally got my iPhone today!  So you can expect a TON more photos now, because that baby will be going EVERYWHERE with me.  I haven't named it yet, it has to be something special. Yeah, I name inanimate objects.  And stray animals.  And random people.  I have a problem...oh well.

What's your favorite wardrobe staple?

Friday Favorites

It's finals week here, so all I've been doing is studying and taking tests.  Here's a list of things that help lift those finals week blues.

DIY:  Wanna join Elycia and Chantilly's Crafternoon? They're making this super cute bike bag!

Etsy: Cutest necklace ever? Yep, cutest necklace ever.

          

Fashion: I'm loving an all white look for spring and summer! via here and here

Art: Moments mean more than material objects.

Shopping:  This umbrella is seriously the cutest ever!  Who wouldn't want a bright, floral bubble umbrella?

For The Home:  I wish I could like it this pretty orange room.

Stitch Fix: Take Two

I received my second Stitch Fix shipment today!  A quick reminder:  Stitch Fix is a subscription styling service.  For a small $20 fee, their stylists will pick 5 items they think you'll like and send they to you whenever you ask.  All you have to do is fill out a thorough Style Profile to give them an idea of what you're willing to try!  You can get these shipments as often as you like, and it you decide to purchase one of the items the $20 goes towards the payment too!  Whatever you don't want you send back in the envelope/bag they send, postage free.  As always, I was super excited to see what there was. Who doesn't love getting surprises in the mail?  Overall, this box was okay.  I like most of the pieces, but everything was just too big to fit me.  I did keep one thing though.  Now that I'm don rambling, onto the clothing!

First up was an abstract printed maxi dress from MM Couture.  It was the most expensive item in the box, but it was really lovely.  I have trouble finding maxi dresses that are long enough for me because of my height, but this one was the perfect length!  The only problem was, the bust area was just too big.  I couldn't bring myself to spend $95 on something that didn't fit me just right, no matter how pretty it was.

Want your own?  You can find it here for $42!

Next was a belted shirt dress from Jack by BB Dakota.  I wasn't sure about this dress, it just fit so weird.  I'm used to tent dresses, but this one just looked strange on me.  The hem was cool, and the material was very soft and comfortable, but it just wasn't me.

This dress is available here on sale for $34!

This top from RD International is the only thing I kept from this shipment.  It is so comfortable!  The light, sheerness will be perfect for layering this season, and the colors are bright and vibrant.  I don't usually wear this pattern, but the great thing about Stitch Fix is they get me to try things I wouldn't normally wear!

This knit tank top from Jack by BB Dakota would've been another awesome layering piece, but I couldn't get past the texture of it.  Plus the bust was just too big for me.  I guess BB Dakota just isn't for us girls with small chests. *sigh*

Want your own?  Find it here for $34!

Finally, they sent this wrap ring by Karine Sultan.  I have to say, I really did like this ring.  It was very pretty, and would've fancied up just about any outfit.  But alas, it was too big for my fingers.
