Counting shopping as a workout

*I decided that if I were to somehow end up taking a train ride to any destination and I were to stay for five days I would wear these items of clothing. I created a whole scenario for myself and everything. Sigh. A girl can only dream!! P.S. I am aware that my room is childish. Just the way I like it;)

 *My granny shoes!!

 *My clutch that I made out of some leftover jean fabric that I had severed to make a pair of cutoffs.

 *Gah my little sister and her ridiculously adorable shoes.

A fabulous day out with the girls! Including my sister, my mother, my grandmother and moi. We hit up Chipotle after getting lost for quite some time on the drive there. Afterwards we decided to mosey and poked around a little boutique nearby. That is where the supercute two-seater bike necklace was from. We then went to Grand Old Creamery and had ice-cream after driving around some more and getting mildly lost again. Then finally we got some shopping in at Lulas where I found this amazing fairytale dress that I literally want to get married in. I suppose I will have to start with wearing it to homecoming, though.
P.S. All my clothing today=vintage. My sister's clothing on the other hand is a bit more complicated=shoes from forever 21, skirt from Charlotte Russe, jacket from Charlotte Russe,tank top from Target.

Summer bags and clip-on steals

Firstly: Happy Independence Day all!!! Secondly: The summer weather has been so wonderful lately that I haven't had a chance to get around to blogging much less being indoors for more than the short amount of time it takes to use the restroom and get back outside again. My apologies. Also my mother had a mishap with our computer and an unfortunate cup of milk. So my laptop is, as of two days ago, null and void. You know what they say: No use crying over spilled milk! That is, unless it breaks your computer:( I unfortunately lost a large amount of stuff on that computer that I was too lazy to back up...My B... Anyway, I will survive! Fashionably wise: I have had an obsession with smaller-scale bags lately(and, more often than not, my coconut purse!) and they suit my needs quite well. All I really need is my phone, chapstick, and some cash (usually) and that's all that will really fit in small bags anyway. If I have a large bag I tend to put unnecessary stuff in it and it just becomes cluttered and messy. Plus I think that small bags are such a statement compared to the big ones that are in style now. I have nothing against large ones, but small bags are my latest thing. Picked up this cute pair of clip-on earrings while antiquing with my grandmother a couple days ago-for quite a steal! I figured that I could use them as shoe clips/a button of some sort if they end up pinching my ears too much. Anyway. Nap time.

P.S. Sorry if this post seemed kind of 'off' I'm super tired and my brain isn't working at top notch...Zzz...

 *Sorry about the dreadful facial expression

 *My little sister! Ahh I love this picture. I really do. It has a kind of story to it, you know?

A quick 'photo shoot' with the little sister as the sun went down. We chased it up the hill behind our house and found it a great place to snap a few(or a ton-sorry about that) pics. I tried having my mom take a few shots of my outfit but it didn't turn out. So I recruited my sister for the job! She did wonderfully, really. She had a bunch of creative ideas and gave good direction, and because of her knack we closed with an abundant amount of useable photos. Thanks a million, sis! This look is one of my favorites for summer: dress from New York and Company, blouse from Target(super soft! also, I cut the sleeves off of it), hat was given to me by my step-mom, purse from Modcloth, shoes from a thrift store. I really like the tied-in-front look. I am also having a thing for hats lately? I need to get me some more wearable ones so I don't bore people with this same one over and over again...Other things: 1.The marvelous weather we have had lately that left me with no time to be inside on my computer(and therefor no posts since Friday) and a little bit of color to my pasty skin 2.Finding my moms Princes' greatest hits in her car-highlight of my week 3. The Zumba class I am taking on Wednesdays that totally kicked my butt today(SO fun btw-seriously. I couldn't do the moves right and looked like a total spaz but it was good to let out my inner insanity-I mean, more than I usually do;))4. Beach day tomorrow with my friends! Fun fun fun!
Ahh time to hit the sack though. Long day tomorrow.

Ah, finally a (mostly) sunny day! Too bad I have spent most of it cooped up inside doing housework. Ah, well. Hopefully tomorrow will be as nice as the weathermen have been promising, I am desperately in need of some time in the sun. Apologies for my cracked nails and mediocre photography- I am on top of it. Promise. Looking forward to some time spent doing actual summer stuff this weekend. No summer school on Fridays so I finally got to sleep in today! Glad I got to an outfit post, too. Fashion is the main reason I started this thing in the first place so I should be posting it way more often. Skirt from Goodwill ($4.55;)), tank from Target, shoes from Everyday People, belt from JCP, jewelry from here there and everywhere(mainly gifts from people I care about). Next on the agenda: grocery shopping. Yay for Target and its one-stop-shop convenience!
P.S. The closeup on pins=a shout-out to my recent pin obsession and the joy this new found accessory has given me. They go on/with everything. Literally.

Food with personality

So the other day my little sister decided to decorate our food with permanent marker and give them a new sense of life. I thought it was pretty much the cutest thing ever:) SUCH a creative girl. Future artist? Maybe in her spare time-being a princess is going to be hard work she says;) I think my favorite one is the ninja lemon, or the devil egg. Also it's been unusually gloomy and chilly in MN these past couple weeks! Where is summer? Where are the warm, sunny days? The weather is supposed to be nice for the weekend so maybe things will cheer up! And just in time for my little sister's birthday party (and possibly a day spent lounging at the sort of community pool set aside for our town home complex). BIG DEAL: I went to The Goodwill for the first time in my life. You could say my life has been completed. And summer school is not as bad as I anticipated it to be...whew! Load off my shoulders. Anyway, I have been trying to soak up summer to the best of my abilities because in the blink of an eye it will all be over:( I try not to think such thoughts.... On the bright side I plan to have an outfit post soon (way past due-my B!) which will keep me busy which is a good thing. You see, if I get bored I eat. If I eat I gain weight. If I gain weight I look bad in a swimsuit. And then my summer stops for a little bit (until I exercise a bit, eat better, and finally get back to my normal self again). So another summer goal: practice self-restraint with food. Along with teach myself to rap, start a blog(check!), and buy myself a nice pair of shoes. Okay, I'm babbling. One last thing:THIS satchel makes me die a little bit inside. Wish I had extra $ to spend on such things...xoxo

Trying new things

Girl time with one of my besties(who also happens to be my only follower so far!) last night! Did our nails, ate turkey Manwiches, and listened to summer playlists. Used these nail sticker things and they worked fabulously! They were easy to put on and are a super fun pattern. I am looking forward to showing them off :). Today is my first day of summer school and I am kind of nervous, sort of like first day of school butterflies but much more subdued. I will hopefully finish my semester up quickly so I can freely enjoy my summer without the burden of summer school dragging me down! Fingers crossed-
<3
P.S. Sorry about the bad photography- I have a better camera that I will be fixing up soon.
