Top: Forever 21 / Shorts: Urban Outfitters / Shoes: Sammydress / Beret: Oasap / Clutch: CVS

If this look doesn't scream "It's hot as shit, sweat is rolling off of me", then I don't know what will. These past few weeks have been so unbearably hot, hence the scarcity of blog posts. Trust me, I still put on clothes, but it's terrible to go in the heat and take pictures. I'm thinking of getting a really cool tapestry or backdrop to hang in my apartment so I won't always have to go outside to take pictures. Thoughts?

Claudia and I went to get frozen yogurt and decided to stop by the skate park on our way home. It was cooling off at this point in the day, so I wasn't whining too much. We had fun watching people skateboard and rock climb, so all in all it wasn't too excruciating.

Can we talk about these SHOES? I mean come on...I bought two new pairs from Sammydress and I could honestly keep them both on forever. One shoe on each foot. Done. I'm also in love with this little clutch thing. I was getting some makeup products at a CVS and saw it, and obviously fell in love. I think it's actually meant for makeup storage, but it has a strap, therefore it shall be worn as a clutch.

Huckleberry Wants His Pants Back

Dress: Oasap / Jeans: Polo Ralph Lauren / Shoes: F21 / Necklaces: Grandmother 

I've been on a disheveled housewife kick lately. I purposely flipped my hair outward and put on more blush than normal to appear more like the classic housewife. And of course this dress screams it as well. But then I felt compelled to mess it up in some way that made it more 'me', so I added some pants that I also cut up. And yes, these were Polo Ralph Lauren pants and I took scissors to them. Screw you overpriced pants. 

And can we also talk about this necklace and brooch/pin thing?? My Mimi came over to my house the other day with a huge chest of jewelry that she's been collecting for me. She's an avid garage sale goer, so she began collecting different pieces for me. How sweet is that? You should always go out of your way to speak or spend time with your grandparents, they teach you a lot. 

On another note, I've given more thought to the styling aspect of fashion, and I feel like I would really enjoy it. I'm not defining what I have to do yet, just keeping different options open. So I've been collaborating with different people from my school/city to help me build a portfolio. I've already done one shoot and I have to say it was freakin' rad. Stay tuned, because I will announce when I create a site for that! Love you guys!

Top: Urban Outfitters / Skirt: XXI / Leggings: Tobi / Shoes: eBay / Jacket & Hat: Purple Cow

Have you ever fallen in love with something that was undeniably meant to be in your wardrobe? That is exactly how I felt about this hat. I was browsing the accessories section at Purple Cow and found this gem. I honestly don't know how it is meant to be worn, but this is how I wear it- like a captain/cute French school girl maybe? I've been very into statement accessories like hats, scarves, and big jewelry, so be prepared for more of that to come. 

This cami is one of the other things I got from Urban Outfitters. It's so simple but a little girly with the peplum style bottom. It's also very free flowing, which limits your bra choices (but if you're like me and you don't have to wear one, it's AWESOME, except when you flash passerbys...). 

The last two pictures are for comedic effect. Claudia and I have way too much fun with the tripod and my brick wall. She filled in my eyebrows for me, and now I'm obsessed with that look. Strong eyebrows with minimal makeup. 

I may start asking questions at the end of my posts. Today's question will be: What are your Tumblr URLs? (I'm always on Tumblr and looking for new blogs to follow, so let me know!)

Beverly Hills

Jacket: Mom's (Ann Taylor Loft) / Furry Shirt and Slip Dress: Thrifted / Pants: XXI / Shoes: JC Simon

I love looking in my mom's closet, because she always has really good jackets. Her style is obviously more sophisticated since she works in an office, but she got some serious style, no lie. I really liked this jacket since it wasn't too padded, but kept me warm enough. It also just looks really cool, like I'm in the Matrix or something. Next is the fur. It's getting colder down here in Louisiana so it's time to layer lots. I wanted to wear a dress over some pants for a while now and since it was chilly I thought the fur was the perfect addition since this dress is basically a slip. Yay for fur/dress/pant combos. 

I also had a serious case of butt-chin in these pics. I got it from my dad, but mine only shows randomly. Oh, butt chins. And sorry for the brick wall/ power cord background. The sun was out and I like to take my pics in the shade so I had to go underneath our patio. Bleh. 

On another note, I encourage you to listen to some old alternative rock/punk songs in your spare time. Mine has been Weezer and Sum 41. Too punk rawk 4 u.

Top- Thrifted / Bottoms: XXI / Shoes: Heels.com / Glasses Frames: Etsy

Okay, the first thing you've probably noticed is that neither of us is in the same background or an even remotely close area. I took these pics of Claudia yesterday since we can't always be together to take pics. So she just did a wardrobe change and tadaaaaa, another outfit was born. Her Jurassic Park shirt completes me. 

My sister took these pics of me today after church, and the wind was just going CRAY. Literally hair kept flying in my mouth..not cute. BUT, let's just talk about these shoes. I am completely obsessed with them. I got them for my ring ceremony, which was Friday night. They are so amazing and the flowers on the bottom are so cute. And I know I will be walkin around all summer in them, so just be ready. 

I also just got some new glasses frames that I posted yesterday, but here they are again. I don't wear my glasses all the time, but sometimes I just feel like wearing them. The frames are from an amazing Etsy shop that I linked up top. She has the coolest ones and they are really cheap too! 

Claudia also got some rad bracelets from Honduras for me. They are sort of like our friendship bracelets. One of them is purple and the other is a blue and green beaded one. We always used to buy the same bracelets and say "Oh, friendship bracelet, hollah!" But, we would always loose them or they would break. SO, this shall be the new bracelet and we will see how long that lasts....

Have a sunnnny Sunday.
