Summertimmeee and the Living's Easy..

Well hopefully not too easy. I would like the summer to be fulfilling with some easy on the side. Hopefully I will get that P.R. internship this summer, and maybe a job as well. But even with those two things I am hoping that this summer will be a lot less stressful and demanding as the school year. And less stress = more blogging hopefully. I hope everyone that was in school did well on their exams. And I hope the hot sand, pina coladas, dainty dresses, big hats, teal rimmed sunglasses, and Mexican BBQs are in your future because they are sure as hell in mine.

I Feel Shabby Chic..

Whenever I wear light pinks and peaches I think of English people and they color they call "blush." Before perusing beauty and fashion blogs from all over the world I had never heard that nudish pink color referred to blush. I kinda sorta love it. And I love the blogs of girls who wear this "blush" color on a regular basis because they seem to be charmingly feminine and cute. Many of them put their products on beautiful paper with roses and other equally charming and quaint little things. Whenever I see new posts from them I think of tea parties and fairy rings and The Secret Garden.



Shirt from Marshall's by Tramp (Ew?) $14.99
Shorts from Marshall's by American Eagle 9.99
Sandals H+M 12.99?
Toes Essie Jungle Bungle (This color is so hot it might burn you, for serious.)

An Affair to Remember.

I've had a crush on these shoes from H+M for a couple of months now, but I was never willing to fork over the $40. (I am a serious frugal mcdugal.) Then today I went to the mall to exchange a shirt I got for my mom, and I spotted them again winking at me, teasing me with their little stacked wedge. Perfect paired with a summer dress or skinnies, they called out to me from across the store. Then I saw the BIG RED $5 tag! I had to check at the register to see if it was true! Oh. It was true. They are a bit too small, (probably why nobody picked them up) but for $5 I'm willing to try a few of those "stretch your shoe" techniques on YouTube.

I love.

Can we just talk about how much I love this Overlay Discs Necklace? from TopShop?
It seriously makes my heart go pitter patter. Can't you imagine some chic little gypsy dancing by a giant bonfire wearing THIS necklace? Well I can. Obviously the gypsy is wearing a simple white or navy dress with some brown wedges or even gladiator sandals because a necklace like this makes quite a statement, even in gypsy circles. It's beautiful and sparkly, but at $120.00 it is out of the Ox College Student budget.

Forever21 has a somewhat similar style (I use this term pretty loosely) available for a measly $6.80. It's just doesn't satisfy my gypsy bling quota, so the search continues.

Outfit of the Day

Striped Sweater: Forever 21

Booties: Joyce Leslie
Bracelets: H+M
Meeting doppelgangers wearing your clothes then giving them a swift kick in the butt: Priceless

This Weekend I...

I have a confession to make. I love the public library. I love coming out feeling accomplished when I have a few books under my arm. In my head I think, Hell yeah! I'm totally set for the weekend! which may or may not make me sound like a nerd, but I don't care. I also love getting things for free which is why the library is so much fun for me. I always seem to get pretty overwhelmed when I get to the fiction section so on most occasions I quickly pick up a book from the fiction section, then I head over to peruse the classics. On the most recent trip I picked up Grass Roof, Tin Roof and Gulliver's Travels. I don't know how little kids used to read this book. Maybe I'll get into it in a chapter or two, but so far it is eh. It may just be me, but it is really slow-paced. But what do I know? I didn't like Catcher in the Rye, or at least I didn't like Holden Caulfield.

In other news I bought a new favorite lipstick. After seeing fafinettex3's latest haul video I went out, and bought Pink Please from the Maybelline Color Sensationals line. It's kind of like the best thing since flavored seltzer (which is very high on my Favorite Things list).
It's really pigmented, really moisturizing, and it smells pretty good. My only gripe is that it tastes kind of bitter. I'm planning on getting many more because I'm pretty in love with the one I have.

TAG

Keys

Jane, Maybelline, NYX

3.Favorite Flowers
Tulips, Peonies, Freesia, Hydrangea. The list goes on and on because flowers are one of my all-time favorite things.

4.Fav clothing stores
H+M, Marshall's, and Forever 21 I suppose. I don't really go clothes shopping. I would much rather buy food.

I don't wear perfume, but in general I like fruity scents.

6.Heels or flats
I love looking at heels, but I usually wear flats.

7.Do you make good grades?
I used to make good grades in elementary then I slacked off in high school. I've tried to stay on top of my game in college so yes. I do make good grades, but I have to work for them. I'm not one of those people that just knows everything without putting any effort into it.

8.Fav colors
I like coral and teal

9.Do you drink energy drinks?
I used to drink them before work, but I've weened myself off of them.

10.Do you drink juice?
I love juice, but now I mix it with water because it's too sweet.

No. I'm a terrible swimmer. I like floating in water, but swimming is definitely not one of my
favorite activities.

12.Do you eat fries with a fork?
Nope.

13.Whats your fav moisturizer?
The Aldi q10 day cream is good, but it has no SPF so I use it at night now. During the day I use
Aveeno Ultra-Calming moisturizer.

Maybe.

Not really. I get sad more easily than mad.

16.Are you into ghost hunting?
I think it's cool, but I don't do it myself.

17.Any phobias?
Spiders freak me out, but I know that they are not going to hurt me. They're just doing their job, and eating mosquitoes so I let them hang out in my room sometimes because as much as spiders freak my out I HATE mosquitoes.

Nope. I did when I was younger, but not anymore!

Yes, I once got caught in a riptide when there was an oncoming storm.

No, I love tea though.

I wasn't tagged by anyone so I tagged myself! I tag anyone who hasn't done this because it's fun to write and read. Now I'm off to watch The Daily Show, and play the second Professor Layton game. :)
