Happy Studying

I had a mini study session at Starbucks and as I was unpacking my things, I realized how much I still love leopard print. I thought I had grown out of the animal print phase, but I've realized how fun it is to be a little tacky every once in a while.

A Dressing Room & A Hair Bow

I thought this bow was so cute (and funny because it was humongous!). I didn't buy it, but I had a lot of fun taking pictures in the dressing room. I was trying really hard not to giggle too loudly..by myself.. awkward..


Why, hello there :)

Messy Bun Monday!

I do love a messy bun! End of story.

Sheer Tunic Dilemma

I purchased this sheer tunic at Forever XXI the other day. It was in the sale items marked down to $11.99. I only found it in an extra large, but I bought it anyways thinking I could do something with it. Still not quite sure how I'd wear it so I was playing around with different ways.

With leggings and pumps or flats? Or with a tank dress and boots? Hmmm, decisions.

Easy Updo

Directions:

1. Start by teasing sections of hair to create volume.

2. Make desired part.

3. Smooth hair on top.

4. Make "inside out" ponytail

5. Take remaining ponytail, and tuck ends into first ponytail.

6. Pin everything down :)

Summer Trip

I took a trip to Vegas earlier this month with my boyfriend and friends (along with their significant others). We didn't plan for it to be a "couples' retreat", but it somehow ended up being that way. I was only there for two nights and both went by so quickly, but I had a lot of fun. We stayed in an MGM signature suite which I liked a lot because it was quiet but still close to all of the fun. It had the cutest little kitchenette (which included pots & pans and everything you could ever need) and a huge bathroom (complete with jacuzzi tub, shower, his and her sinks, and vanity) which I would love to have in my house someday! We saw some shows, had a few really nice meals, did a little pool time, and I had my first limo ride. It was great.

Mint Green & Sparrows

It's official. I'm a bad blogger. My last post about trying to blog more was written over 5 months ago. SAD. I must work on this... I think I'll start with an outfit post because I was bored and decided to take pictures of myself and the things that I decided to wear :)
