Garden Party

For a fathers day gift there was no better place to go than Terrain. Even if my dreams of making my dad a hanging-wall garden of succulents was crushed, I still got a waffle and some crazy good pistachio ice cream out of the trip. Not to mention I got my dad a garden in a box to ornament his bathroom with. 

Raspberry Delight

There are two places that I never fail to find serenity--- standing in front of my refrigerator and standing in my closet figuring out what to wear. I’m a bored eater, so the fridge - with picking at fruit, leftovers, or lemon mint sorbet - provides a certain comfort that few other spots can produce. My closet yields that same satiating sensation. For a no stress outfit, I threw on a black Zara mini and a Topshop jean shirt as I ventured to the Shake Shack in Philly for a dinner with "the ladies". For anyone who is in the area, I highly recommended making your way into the city for a yummy burger and some crinkle-cut fries. 

Manning Up

As a kid I often ventured into my moms closet to play dress up, but as I have grown older I have started to investigate the menswear pieces I can swipe from my father’s closet as well.  My sister and I recently gallivanted through his closet in search for retro jean jackets we could make into vests and crisp oversized white button downs to pair with skinny jeans. Lucky for us our father came through and hooked us up with his old duds!

One Direction

Have you ever been woken up and told you have 15 minutes to get ready. If you haven't had to do this or you have not watched the girls on America's Next Top Model do it, then I suggest you time yourself and see what you can pull together in 15 minutes. This past Sunday morning I was thrust into that same situation. I was zonked and disoriented as I opened up my closet. I saw pink jeans and decided that was the starting point. From there I threw on a a light grey mullet top and a tan blazer. In a hurry I decorated my wrists with some blue bangles and an orange hermes bracelet. As I raced past the mirror I realized that the color pallet I was working with was in need of some spice. I decided that neon green sandals with the perfect solution.

Getting Tacky

For this DIY I went straight for the ears. It all started when I was shopping for school supplies. Sidenote, this is one of my favorite things to do. For some reason buying new notebooks, pencils, and pens soothes my soul. Anyway I HAD to have these tacks but what was I gonna use them for? So I decided to cut on the backs with pliers and hot glue them to an earring back. Boom new earrings for the summer time. 

Four Shades of Gray

I am feeling four shades for this summer; the aviator, the cat eye, tortoise, and the big O. No matter what mode your in one of these will suit your fancy. 

Aviator- Ray Ban

Cat eye- Ebay

Tortoise- Urban Outfitters

The Big O- US Trendy

Skirtin Around

Sorry for the delayed post... the workmen at my house cut the cable cord for the third time yesterday. Anyway, this was senior prom 2012. It all started with the hunt for a green dress. That crashed and burned. So I went onto pinterest, like any girl in need of inspiration, and decided to flip the script and wear a skirt and a top.
