The Passage of Time

Rogan for Target silk shift.

Time has been passing way too quickly lately and I have had no time to take any outfit posts. Plus on my downtime this weekend the weather was too terrible to take any good photos. Monday is my day off yet it's not my boyfriend's, so I had to take these photos all by my lonesome. Also I don't have any shoes on, so sorry readers. This is the kind of outfit I feel like frolicking barefoot in my yard in. Shift dresses just make me feel that way, especially ones made of silk.

I don't want to fall behind again and since I work with my mom who is a photographer I will be trying to take some outfit posts at work.

Until then I hope you're enjoying your first week of summer!

Solstice

Vintage shades and vintage Ferragamo shoes.

Here are two snapshots I messed around with today. I'm in love with these sunglasses my dad let me borrow and of course I'm in love with my tried and true Ferragamo's. Mostly I just wanted to wish you all a happy solstice and first day of Summer.

There is no season better than summer. Wild grass, flowers, light breezes, and airy outfits. Just makes you think romantic thoughts. To me, there is nothing better than a cotton sundress on a hot day. I take that back; there is nothing better on a hot day than a cotton sundress AND some iced tea. Can't live without my tea.

Tortoise

I like to preface this post by saying thank you to my Dad. On Father's Day I'm the one who should be giving him gifts, but he ended up giving me two pairs of amazing sunglasses. He brought out his collection which he mostly acquired from his father (my grandfather). In the bag were two pairs of vintage Ray-Bans, one being an original Wayfarer from the fifties! I was so excited I just had to share them with you all.

The second pair are Ray-Ban Olympian's made in the mid sixties. They're different from any other sunglasses I've seen. I also found out today that Ray-Ban's were invented in my hometown and current residence; Rochester, NY. I never knew!

Well, I'm sure you'll be seeing these babies all over my blog now that I've got my hands on them!

Anchors Aweigh

Forever 21 sailor dress, and thrifted vintage flats.

Just sharing a few shots of what I wore to work today. My mom got an iPhone so we were playing around with it.

I've wanted a dress like this for as long as I can remember and got this one from Forever 21 on ebay at a discounted price. I am pretty much obsessed with anything having to do with being a sailor, or nautical. I also love red, white, and blue combos even in the middle of Winter. It's almost a problem, I need to go to nautical rehab.

The simplicity of this outfit is everything Summer style should be: easy and breezy. I can't wait for super hot weather to come!

I leave you with:

My mom's glittery platforms from the 1970's.

An Evening in Black

Rodarte for Target dress, Charlotte Russe velvet mini jacket, and Forever 21 Mary Janes.

My boy snapped these pictures of me after coming back from a delicious dinner Friday night. I was finally in a dressy mood again, so we fooled around with the photos in our apartment.

I also got to wear my new mary janes I scored for 17 bucks on Ebay. They're not the mary janes modeled after Miu Miu, but they're close enough. I love them, the cap toe just adds the best detail. I wore them out all last night and managed to keep foot injury to a minimum. Which included a spontaneous trip to a club I was dragged to (I'm not a club person).

Wish I got photos from last night's outfit, but somehow the thought slipped my mind. Next time!

For now I'm off to relax, before I have to sort out the ordeal with my car tomorrow.

Keep Calm and Carry On

Charlotte Russe crop top, thrifted shorts, Target flats, Forever 21 connector ring, and Icing sunglasses.

These photos were taken on Sunday and I meant to post them yesterday but I got into a car accident. I don't know when I'll have my car back but it's a huge bummer. At least I'm alright, something serious could have happened.

Aside from that, I've been busy preparing for the opening of my shop and just have not been in the mood to wear heels. I haven't been into dressing up period this past week. Especially since it's been so hot here. I've been enjoying my super casual looks since I don't usually revel in super casual outfits.

Tomorrow is supposed to be cooler, I'm hoping so can take my crazy new Mary Jane's for a spin. I love hot weather but sometimes I think I'm better suited for 75 and sunny.

Exciting Announcements!

So I mentioned a few posts back that I had some exciting news to share with everyone. Well the day to share the news has arrived...

I'm opening my very own vintage boutique located in Honeoye Falls! I'm sharing the space with my mom, her half will be her photography studio and mine will be full of goodies.

We've been working really hard to make everything perfect, here are some shots of the process!

I just put my sign up!

We chose purple as our paint color. It really brightens up the place!

I am so excited and I'll be posting more about our progress soon!
