Juillet Ensemble (Because Everything Sounds Better in French)

Top - Forever21

Skirt - Old Navy

Flats - TOMS

Bag - Merona

Watch - Fossil

Necklace - Forever21

How in the world is it the middle of July? Does anyone else feel like this is kind of crazy? 

Since it is the middle of the July, and because it has been pretty hot where I live, I have been taking full advantage of wearing thin tops that breathe easily as well as skirts and shorts. I can't wait until Fall, though, so I can pull out my sweaters and boots (I'm so picky when it comes to the weather... if you couldn't already tell from previous posts).

Anyway, I hope y'all had a great week! Look out for posts on how I organize my nail polish and my back-to-school wishlist later this week!  

Summer Days, Long Skirts, Don't Care

Top - Old Navy

Maxi Skirt - Old Navy (last Summer)

Bag - Expressions NYC

Sandals - Sam Edelman (Buy them Here)

Necklace - vintage

Bracelets - got them from a jewelry swap, so I'm not sure

I love maxi skirts because I feel like they make me look taller, and who doesn't love that? They're also incredibly nice to wear in the summer because of their versatility; you can dress them up or down and they still look fabulous. 

What about you, do you love maxi skirts? And the really important question, where do you like to buy them? 

Let me know in the comments, s'il vous plait!

Seeing Spots

Dress - Old Navy 

Flats - Kate Spade 

Bag - Expressions NYC

Bracelet - Betsey Johnson 

Glasses - Warby Parker

It was one of those mornings where nothing looks good and it takes you forever to find something that you don't hate (jeez, why is that?). I feel like that's one of the really bad things about summer; sometimes you just have no idea what will look good when it's hot outside (and when you don't have air conditioning in your ancient Jeep).

Anyways, hope y'all liked this post! Be sure to follow this blog for more outfit posts and upcoming tutorials & reviews!

Pale in All Filters

Shirt - Old Navy

Pants - Mossimo

Flats - TOMS

Bag - Merona 

Necklace - made by my super talented sister at yourmomdesigns

Okay. I know, I know. I'm as pale as the white shirt I'm wearing. I need to get out  in the sun so that people don't think I'm cast in the next Stephanie Meyer inspired movie.  

Anyway, today has been looong. I woke up super early to open up the coffee shop at my church and needed a simple outfit I could work in. Capri pants have become one of my favorite wardrobe staples for spring/summer, so of course I chose these because they're perfect when you're looking for a quick and effortless outfit that still looks put together.

What's your favorite wardrobe staple for spring/summer? Let me know in the comments below! 

Thanks so much for checking out my blog! I hope y'all have a fabulous week.

I am so done with this Winter thing . . . I'm thinking I need to move somewhere where it is warm year-round, and preferably where there is a beach in close proximity to my house. But no, I still have about a month left of this crazy cold then warm weather because the weather where I live has irrational mood swings. I am so happy about this day, though, because it has been raining like crazy for the past few days and today it is gorgeous.

Anyway, I'm loving this outfit because it's perfect for ridiculous weather like this, and I love wearing red and black together because red is such a great pop of color against dark colors. I tend to wear a ton of black during Winter, so switching it up whenever I can is needed.

New Year, More Polka Dots

Dress - Old Navy
Tights - Target
Shoes - Steve Madden
Jacket - Jack by BB Dakota
Bag - Merona err Kate Space knock-off (buy it here)

I love this bag so much because 1. I love polka dots and 2. I love Kate Spade and this looks like one of the bags in her collection but way cheaper so go check it out because I have a feeling they won't last very long in stores.

Also, did you notice my glasses? They're from the company Warby Parker and I love them, so check their website out (I'll also have a video up about it within the next few days). The style I have is called 'Bensen' and the color is in Whiskey Tortoise.

Hope y'all are having a great first week of 2013! Please check out and follow some of my other sites ♥

So I'm taking a break from biology homework because it is stressing me out like crazy. I have an exam on Tuesday and I have no idea how I'm going to remember what the heck a peptidoglycan does... there are so many terms and diagrams to memorize. *sigh* Anyway, I didn't get very many good pictures today because when I went out to take some my camera's battery decided to die on me about 5 pictures in, so that didn't help much, but luckily a did get a few. Overall this day has been testing my patience, but I'm hoping it gets a little bit better... and that I can remember all these bio terms by Tuesday.

Oh also, I have a couple ideas about new posts and videos, but I wanted to get some of y'alls suggestions, so please comment on this post and let me know what you would like to see in the future. That would be a huge help :)

Happy Birthday, America!

Happy 4th of July! I spent the day working in the morning and then coming home to relax before going out again to hand out 10,000 glow sticks with my church. It was so much fun, and of course afterwards we got to see the firework which is always my favorite part :)

I hope you all had/are having a wonderful day and are celebrating this beautiful country by partying it up <3

By now I was super aggravated with my tripod

I got a ton of blurry pictures like this.. *sigh*

Dress - Old navy
Tights - Worthington
Shoes - Steve Madden
Bracelet - Fossil
Lipstick (best accessory) - Maybelline's 5th Ave. Fuchsia.

 Today is the second time I've used my tripod... and I had a lot of trouble with it. I ended up having a bunch of really blurry pictures (see above) and it's annoying. Does anyone have any good tips for using a tripod? If you do it would be greatly appreciated, so please leave comments below!

Also, if you would like a tutorial on my hair or makeup just leave a request below as well, and have an awesome Sunday!
