Week in Review

As a college frosh I didn't really know whether or not I would have the free-time everyone seems to have...

Luckily for me I've yet to fall impossibly behind

-knock on wood!-

Somewhere somehow I found time to shop at Gap (yea I know I know what am I doing shopping when I could be studying!) but that's for later.

On your left is one fold, which I ended up not really liking since it had the seam and it got HOT. Stayed with the double fold seen on your right!

 

 These paanttsss are sooooo coommfffyy! They're very red-orange and so much fun for autumn. I'm stoked at their length; perfect full, ankle, anything

And finally a 'business casual' interview. Yes, I've resorted to bathroom shots... let's lament together after I resolve this issue!

1. Top: Cynthia Rowley (from here)//Shorts: Gap

2. T-Shirt: Gap//Pants: Gap//Shoes: Target

3. Shirt: Ralph Lauren//Skirt: Gap//Shoes: Kenneth Cole Reaction

'Twas 82º...

and the weather is soo fine! Sun-bathing, production-promoting (those two might be opposites) kind of weather! It's so lovely and thank goodness for clear skies as my sister returns to university.

I think back and realize I made some sort of promise to dissolve my stripes obsession.

Yea.

That didn't really work out.

What do you expect me to do? This dress killed me with its back, bow, stripes, AND color. Quadruple whammied - Me.

Dress: Forever21//Shoes: Candie's//Pearl Necklace: gifted//3-Flower Ring: Claire's//Bandeau: Victoria's Secret

'Twas 91º...

and it was so freaking hot why in the world did I even bother putting on clothes?!

Ahh right, because this skirt was too dang cute. I HAD to wear it! Went out with my galpals for a Sunday lunch and ran a few errands before the heat beat us home. Beat as in I felt physically defeated... but thank goodness for the revival from frozen yogurt & ice-cream!

Again with the Ralph Lauren shirt, when will I stop you ask? NEVER.

(Just kitten of course! Hahaha... ha..)

 Shirt: Polo by Ralph Lauren//Skirt: Gap//Shoes: Candie's//Watch: Seiko//Cuff: gifted//Bangle: AE//Flower Ring: Chanel

Spotted this tropical maxi outside of church; it's so on trend & perfect for sunny days! I want to take it to Hawaii asap

Also, met a wonderful Nigerian woman. Traditional tribal clothing is immensely fascinating. I love how fashionable it is while practical; breathable dress with matching head scarf keeps the heat away. She's also just so darling!

IT'S JUST SO FLOUNCY.

Obsessed: Polo by Ralph Lauren

I don't have one particular style, I'm not one for 'punk' or 'girly' labeling my clothing choices, however I can't help but be utterly smitten (and dare I admit, obsessed) with my Ralph Lauren shirts.

There's something so convenient, classic, and convertible about them. I love them buttoned down or thrown on. Either way I'm definitely having a -long- moment with these! Also checks off my 'white buttoned-down shirt' staple.

First

Shirt: Polo by Ralph Lauren//Shorts: A&F//Shoes: Birkenstocks//Bag: Antonio Melani//Sunnies: Ray-Ban//Heart Bangle: American Eagle//Ring: thrifted

KC Haul

Ohh boy, this is long overdue, but I finally have everything sorted. Including the receipts (which I conveniently threw into one bag and plan to tackle in a few with some tissues and ice-cream).

As most pictures end up, the colors on some items are off. However do take my word on them!

Top Row (left to right): Victoria's Secret PJs, Gap Jeans, American Eagle Midi shorts, Abercrombie&Fitch Navy shorts, Polo Ralph Lauren shirt, Gap shorts

Bottom Row: Abercrombie&Fitch plaid sleeping shorts, Victoria's Secret Lace underwear, Old Navy Gingham sleeping shorts, 'Live While We're Young' ONE DIRECTION CONCERT tank, Forever21 dress

The water bottle, dog, and bag came with my Victoria's Secret purchase. The dog's not as useful as the bottle though, haha! I had to get cute pajama stuff though, I'm not comfortable enough to wear holes around the dorm..

The anchor belt is Gap and the black, buttery, 'Made in Italy' belt is thrifted.

Gold Circle Ring (thrifted), American Eagle heart bangle, Sterling Silver cuff (thrifted), Gap Neon Crystal Bracelet

I am completely aware that the size on the shorts is for the world to see, is it so wrong of me? I figured it's no big deal, it's clear I'm no model and I admit, I love food. 

This dress is too cute. I had to show the deep V back! Currently my horizontal stripes collection is growing exponentially. I understand I must stop. I cannot. Man, I need to stop.

1D in KC

I'm We're going to overlook the fact that I spent way too much money and energy on this trip, and instead freak-out about my magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience in Kansas City. For starters, I have bruises all over my legs... which makes no sense since I was only fist-pumping and jumping all over the place (okay so maybe there's a little sense).

Putting my haul off 'til later, since it covers the majority of my queen-size bed (this might be a problem), I wanted to share some shots of what we did and where we went!

The Country Club Plaza, or The Plaza for short, is KC's premiere shopping center. Burberry, American Apparel, H&M, J. Crew, Tiffany & Co., and many many more all reside there in Modern-Tuscan buildings. I was floored!

If anyone knows how to make a display, it's Kate Spade.

This worker looked too cute! She graciously talked about her necklace and favorite items. That dresss~

How siick are this woman's shoes?! I'm smitten. From Aldo Shoes.

If I had $2,294 this Burberry jacket would have left on my back. Sadly, it was blazing hot and my debit card was crying in a corner. The studs, the leather, the zippers, oh my!

Concert gear! For those who aren't Directioners/Fangirls/Obsessed/Insane, the shirts are play on lyrics from different One Direction songs. I'm sportin' the cobalt blue shorts, a small portion of my haul from KC.

I'm still sore from the concert on Friday, so I must go recline and figure out whether or not the whole weekend was real..

I CANNOT HANDLE ANYTHING ANYMORE THEY ARE PERFECT AND I'M IN LOVE WITH EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM SO MANY FEELS.
