Let the sunshine in...

Salut!



I have FINALLY had the time to shift my focus off of schoolwork and onto blogging, seeing that it is summertime now! My birthday was last month and with that came an exciting, new pair of sky-high heels. Even though the extra 5 inches make me well-over six feet, there's nothing stopping me from donning these new obsession-clad shoes whenever possible. Before calling it a day yesterday after returning from job hunting and endless errands, the glow of the setting sun called for a perfect mini photo session - well, more like begging my brother to snap a few pictures before the sun became hidden by the bushes and trees. You've got to love that arizona sunshine... It's good to be back home, but I'm definately missing Austin. However, all this free time and lack of art projects has ignited the urge to experiment with DIY projects. My sister and I have been pulling inspiration from other designers' works to create more affordable, yet fashionable DIY pieces. Can't wait to see how they turn out! Below are pictures from yesterday's outfit.

This reminded me of a blouse from Erin Wasson's line with RVCA!

I know it's been awhile..I was super busy with finals and I just started summer school today. These pics were taken the other day and it's hard to see my shoes but I was wearing these...they are still my favorites- I just love the gold heel! It's supposed to be extremely beautiful this week, so I'm looking forward to enjoying the warm weather and the sun!

Today was the most perfect day- sunny, clear skies and a little breezy, so my boyfriend and I decided to go on a picnic. We went over to this grassy field right by a small pond. We had had an early dinner..before one of my finals and then snapped some quick pics. The Doc Martens just came in the mail today; I got them off of Amazon for $47!! I have been looking for some floral ones for a quite awhile, and I was very excited to find such a deal on this pair. I know the second pic looks almost identical to a couple photos from previous posts, but I just love the feathers on the back of the shirt and can't deny the opportunity to take more pictures of it. Hopefully the weather continues to stay nice, so I can enjoy some more time outside.

Thought it was never going to end?? I know this post is just a huge random compilation of pictures, but I just loved them all so I thought I should make one big post. The first few are from the Met Gala, there were so many outfits, but these were just a few favorites. The rest of the pictures are from a bunch of different websites, and mostly consist of Erin Wasson and Tallulah Morton..who is my new style crush! Hope you enjoyed.

The first pic is from Rodarte Runway Spring 2009 and the second is from gojane.com for $26.40! I know I have been posting obsessively over this gojane website, but they always have such great knock-offs for such good prices!

I know I just wore this same plaid shirt in one of my other recent posts, but I love it...its so easy to throw over a tank top, especially on a rainy day like today. This morning my boyfriend and I went to this amazing quaint French Bakery...it was delicious! I meant to take pics of what we ordered, but I was too focused on indulging that I forgot...oops..guess that will be my excuse to go back again. We saw this green door and thought it'd be a perfect photo op.

Frescos

Salut!




Ok, so I have pretty much no time today...but I did manage to squeeze a pic in between classes and work. The quality of the pics was terrible...they were taken quickly by self timer in my room, so I decided to mess around on photobucket with all the interesting features. I decided on "fresco" because you can still see my outfit...but my face looks kinda distorted/scary...oh well I guess it looks artsy?

Today was very warm and humid...hence the "natural look" that's going on with my hair. I think I am finally back into the rhythm of taking pics and posting regularly....hopefully. Last night my purse was stolen...at Taco Bell of all places...so kinda a bummer today, but on the bright side, that means it might be time to find a new one to add to my collection!

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes

Salut!




I have been trying to find some great new summer sandals....all the ones I have been lusting after are designer names and I can't afford their hefty price tags. So, I have been searching for "knock-offs" that closely emulate the designer look. Here are some of my favorites...all under $30 too!

Last night I went to the Jason Mraz concert...hands down the best concert I have everrrr been too! I wore this similar outfit, except with wedges, but they killed my feet so I decided to put on flats instead. Its been extremely rainy all week so I haven't gotten any good outfit pics...hopefully this week it'll warm up and the sun will come out...it is May after all...
