Driving Glasses!

I have been having a hard time seeing far away lately, so I decided to go to the eye doctor. Turns out I was right about my eyes, and needed glasses for driving and other long distance activities! I got a cute pair of Tiffany (!) glasses that I'm very pleased with. I keep making the joke that it's the only Tiffany box I'll ever own, but it's probably true! The dress I wore that day is made from a parachute pantsuit I found that the thrift store, and cut off. I love it now!

Pearls and Bows

I did a few of my favorite things this past week, all in one day. My mom and I ate at a new Mediterranean restaurant downtown, and then sat outside at Starbucks and sipped yummy drinks. It was quite nice. I always love going to dinner or brunch with my mom, I'm a total Starbucks fangirl, and sitting outside in the summer evening is just divine. I really wish summer was year-round. I know many people don't share that sentiment with me, but I am a true Southern Belle!

Simple, girly makeup to complement the preppy stripes and pearls.


Isn't my mom so elegant? Her bag is a Cynthia Rowley and I'm very jealous of it.

Cat Eyes and Cameos

I spent the day at the pool a few days ago, and didn't feel like blow drying my hair. I put it into a bun, and right before I went out, pulled it over into a side ponytail. It actually turned out looking more styled than if I had washed and dried it! I matched my outfit around my romantic hairstyle, and called it a day.

date night

My boyfriend's mom generously gave us some restaurant gift cards, so we were able to go out to dinner. We are often so broke that we can't do this, so we were quite happy. Unfortunately, we lost the one to Outback :( So sad.

I drank a 25 cent sample of wine... that's pretty much all you'll get from me haha

in between outfits

My camera died midway through birthday boyfriend week, so I took some phone pictures.

This was the day we picked up our new kitty that I surprised my boyfriend with :) The girls in cosmetology at school did my hair.

I cooked homemade pizzas for out friend Simone's birthday this day. I NEVER dress this casually, and it was actually harder for me to pick this out than what I normally wear, haha.

This was the night my mom took us out for boyfriend's birthday, and right when my camera died, hence only one photo. I swear this outfit looked better in person!

repeating theme

Here is yet another example of me wearing similar clothes a few days in a row. I am not exactly sure why I do this, but it's completely unconscious and quite funny! This outfit felt very Parisian to me, which I love. I didn't wear it for long though, because Chelsea finally did my hair :)
