Shorts & Dooney

Before the snow hits (which it surely will this year.. everyone bundle up!) I managed to squeeze in a few more days of being in shorts. Now call me ridiculous but nothing's more comfortable!

Other than going pants-less but that's besides the point.

Also scored a lovely vintage Dooney&Bourke off eBay. Internet shopping sucks me in again! Though I was over the moon hoping it was a white bag like its pictures, it turned out very cream.. Contacted the seller and managed to get some money back. Whew.

Be careful online, ladies and gentlemen!

One Direction

I didn't choose the fangirl life, the fangirl life chose me.

And woe, the heart-wrenching, money-snatching life it is! I'd much rather have a shoe fetish, instead... okay, so I have both. Tough.

Tomorrow I have the privilege of attending a One Direction concert, AND I'M PRETTY MUCH THE MOST EXCITED LADY AROUND I MEAN LOOK AT THEM I KNOW THEY'RE SO CHARMING (and they're actually around my age, so let me have this)!

Along with their good looks and talent, their styles created a massive craze among us fangirls. While it's not all too original, each boy has his own signature style.

Harry Styles

loves the preppy look. Think Tommy Hilfiger and Burberry. His use of blazers and well tailored clothing is a style I absolutely love.

Signature Piece: Blazer

Louis Tomlinson

is much more playful with his style. His signature outfit is composed of the nautical striped shirt and red pants. Not going to lie, I might have jumped on the bandwagon... It's just so cute.

Signature Piece: Horizontal Stripes

Niall Horan

is the most laid-back boy of the bunch. He loves to sleep and eat, so he's on the right track. Comfort is his number one priority! He loves Supras and high-tops, what a boy.

Signature Piece:

High-top Sneakers

Liam Payne

is >ironically< the most 'All-American' styled Brit. He loves a good plaid, monochrome outfit, and laid-back sneaks. He's able to look put together yet I-just-threw-on-clothes at the same time. Give me that skill.

Signature Piece:

Baseball Tee

Zayn Malik

is the perfect love child of Rock and Skater. Not only because, in this picture, he skateboards but his overall style is so nonchalant cool. He loves OBEY, a snapback, and attitude.

Signature Piece:

Varsity Jacket

'Twas 77º...

.. and my family and I was honored to attend a close family friend's wedding. Now, despite the high temp, the wind was a big bully so that explains the blazer.

Well, that and the blazer's just so perfect for the outfit.

I wish I took many many many pictures of the bride's dress, but alas by the time I thought of it we were already driving back home. It was lace, long, and figure-huggingly perfect!

Blazin'

Now that fall's approaching (which is a lie, it's still bloody hot but the date is right), I realize that I need a blazer.

I used to just borrow my sister's, but since she's officially moved, my closet has minimized! And as we all know, a blazer is the absolute puurrrfect staple item for bringing 

1) any outfit together 

and 

2) transitioning any spring clothes
