I got these shorts last week and I am officially obsessed with them. Very 40's inspired and vintagesque, right up my alley!

These are my Hunter S. Thompson sunglasses. Every time I wear them I feel a little like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

It's been so hot here I don't feel like doing anything, so I'm off to sit around my apartment and watch my kitties wrestle.

Charlotte Russe Shorts, H&M top (it's like 4 years old), Isaac Mizrahi for Target flats, Luella sunglasses, and Claire's heart necklace.

Have a wonderful night lovelies!

These shorts were my moms from when she was young, they're a little big but I can't resist wearing them!

Today marked the last day of my finals! I'm done! Today the boyfriend and I also got a new kitty! We're making a happy family :)

Vintage shorts, H&M top, Gladiator sandals from Marshall's

If you live in Rochester enjoy the tropical-like weather we're having while it lasts!

Anchors Aweigh

Yesterday I took some time to go a show opening at the High Falls Gallery where my mom's work is featured. It was very warm so I wore just a simple dress that sums up everything I want my summer style to be: Simple and breezy.
Photobucket
I got this dress on ebay for practically a steal from some ebay store located in China. It came with a matching belt which is currently broken. I had to substitute with this old rope belt I got from children's shorts.

I love the anchor and life saver details.

I've had this necklace since I was 15. I found it a garage sale, these people were clearing out their house of all this vintage jewelry. Awesome find! It's been through a lot with me along the way.

Here's me at 16 wearing it haha

When you wish upon a star...

I don't have any outfit photos for you today. After a stressful day of classes I came home to my apartment, soon after I found myself browsing through various webpages. I compiled a list of things I'm dying to have for summer. If I had an endless source of wealth these would be in my wardrobe in a heartbeat!




This lovely oh so girly floral dress from the ebay store lovelyladycloset, is something I'm really thinking of purchasing. It's 9.99 and is the epitome of everything I'm looking for in a summer dress. Light, girly, and just the right amount of floral. Nothing too grandma or curtain like. That's hard to find these days...
This is the Forever 21 Sweet Sailing bikini. Each piece is around 10 dollars and I would LOVE to wear it. Ever since I was a wee teenager I have been obsessed with anchor and sailor paraphernalia. Recently I noticed this has become a popular trend in stores like forever 21 and such. Such a convenience to me because when it's not popular, nautical stuff is very hard to find!
UPDATE: looks like I might be out of luck, the top to this bikini is sold out...

I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of shorts for about 4 months now. I think I found the closest to my dream shorts! The American Apparel Hampton short. They're seersucker, lightweight, and old fashioned. Too bad they're out of my price range! They're priced at 45 dollars.

Here is another lovely piece from the ebay store lovelyladycloset. It goes for 9.99 and I've been think about getting it for awhile. What do you think?
Nautical knee socks from Forever 21. $4.80, nuff said...

Lastly, this elephant ring from Forever 21. I love elephants, there are little elephant figurines scattered around my apartment. Why not wear a little figurine on your finger?

These are the things I'm loving for summer. What's something you can't live without during the hottest months of the year?

Three Tiers

This is my last week of school so I've been super busy, but here are some photos from a few weeks ago.
Photobucket
I got this dress back in January with my mom for 10 bucks. It looked like nothing on the hanger but when I put it on I fell in love! haha

I got this three tiered necklace a few years ago. You can wear them as a set or you can wear each necklace separately. I thought that was so awesome. Oh the things that excite me...

Oh and sorry about the mediocre photos I had to take them by myself.

H&M dress, Betsey Johnson platforms, and Lia Sophia 3 tiered necklace.

XOXO Goodnight!

Today my day consisted of having coffee with my brother, group projects, marketing, and window shopping with the boy. When the semester ends I think it's time to really go through my wardrobe and sort out the pieces I never wear. Maybe I'll start an online shop. Stay tuned! haha

This necklace was on a long black cord until today I decided it to string it on a delicate chain. It was a gift from my aunt when I was about 6 or 7.

I honestly have no idea where this gold and onyx ring came from. When I was moving out I found it in an old cigar box in the garage.

I've worn these shoes so much there are stains all over them. Oopsies!

Target dress scrunched into a shirt, Charlotte Russe pants and headband, Payless wedges, and NYC nail polish in string of pearls.

I'm off to get some rest. I'm going out to dinner tomorrow for my dear friend's 21st birthday. Should be exciting!
Good night xoxo

I tried to pass for nothing, but my dreams gave me away.

Photobucket
I kept things very lax and simple today since I was exhausted. I've been working non-stop on end of semester things! I promise to update more this week though.
Photobucket
It's nothing special but it sure is comfy and keeps me nice and cozy. Temperature's have dropped into the 40's again. I know crazy right? I really can't complain I enjoy living here.
