"Sexy Coal Miner"

I don't normally wear this style of clothing, as I am usually a dresses and ruffles type of girl. I wanted to try something different, and I couldn't resist this romper/overalls combo! My friend Simone dubbed this outfit as "sexy coal miner" hahahaha. I thought it was a perfect description, and it reminded me of when he works in the coal mind in Zoolander! I want to get lots more wear out of these boots, and I need inspiration. Any suggestions, lovelies? <3

Stealth Lingerie

Hello! I'm back from my vacation to Cape Cod, and will be back to regular posting now. I have a ton of cool pictures from that to share soon as well. But first, outfits from before I left! I wore this to an outdoor concert downtown in 100 degree weather, and made the mistake of not eating before we went. I am hypoglycemic, making that an even stupider decision. Needless to say, I ended up getting sick and having to go home, and missed our friend Tim's island birthday party :( You'd think I'd learn after all these years, but noooooo. Oh well, I'll wear the outfit again sometime. The top is actually from the lingerie department at Forever 21, but I pulled the skirt up so it didn't show my stomach!

two looks

I went to lunch with my boyfriend, and to run some errands, and threw on a quick outfit. I kind of liked it, but I just felt something wasn't right about it. I think it was mostly because it was uncomfortable, due to the off the shoulder shirt and skirt that was too big. For the later part of the night, I changed into a more comfortable tank top, and added accessories so it wouldn't be boring.

outfit part 1-
shirt- Forever 21, belt- came with another dress from Charlotte Russe, sandals- Forever 21, necklace- Target, skirt- Forever 21 (several years ago)

outfit part 2-
tank top and same skirt from above- Forever 21, belt- Body Shop, cuff bracelet- Charlotte Russe, gold bracelets- H&M, pendant- vintage, Love necklace- Charlotte Russe, gold sandals- Target

girly brunch

I went out for a delicious brunch and antique/vintage shopping with some friends a few weeks ago, and I've been dying to go again ever since! We had such a great time, and I was so happy for the chance to spend time with my girls and to dress up :) We felt absolutely like the Sex and the City girls this day. The dress was left to me by my grandmother, and is one of my favorite pieces in my closet.

my unmistakable love for Harry Potter ;)

valentine weekend

The day before Valentine's Day was when my boyfriend and I celebrated the holiday (sort of), and when I wore this outfit. We walked across the bridge and had lunch at a cafe, and had dinner at the delicious Blacksmith's Bistro. For actual Valentine's Day, I woke up to the sweetest thing on the kitchen counter (below) and I gave him a lovely vintage flask. We cooked dinner and dessert together, and sat around in our pajamas :)
notice the Star Wars card in the left corner there...hah

black and cream

I had another great date with my twinsie on this night! We went major thrifting, and even had this awesome old lady take our picture because we had so much stuff in our buggy. It was epic. Then we spent some time with my mommy, and went back to my condo to make some hilarious videos. Which, of course, I have included a link to :)
