Look at the stars, look how they shine for you.

I think these are the first pictures where I have worn my ACTUAL glasses. I rarely wear them when I take pictures because it is always sunny out when I take them and usually, I wear my sunnies. These glasses are from a company called Warby Parker, located in NYC. They do a great thing; for every pair of glasses you but from them, they give a pair to someone in need (yes, these glasses ARE prescription, people don't believe me). They actual just started selling sunglasses, so I am excited to look through them!

Take a walk on the wild side.

The day these pictures were taken, my OTHER friend Amanda wanted to go try on brides maids dresses with me and another friend Nicole. She was joking saying, "Want to take pictures for your blog?" and of course, I said, "YES!" We walked down her street and what did we find? A HUGE TRACTOR that happened to be the same color as my shirt. We eventually got yelled at by a soccer mom (literally there was a game going on behind us) to get off, so we kindly obliged. I took pictures of her as well, just not with the great tractor (she will be a "Featured Friend"). Amanda is an amateur picture taker, so I apologize for the blurriness! You'll get it next time, girl.

I'll have my people call your people.

Lookey look what came innnnn!!!!!

Christian Dior!

hello, birdie.

When Stephanie told me that she had a vintage Christian Dior blazer hanging her closet, then proceeded to tell me she would let me have it, I was ECSTATIC! I think this is the only "designer" piece that I own (I just got rid of some tired Steve Madden Moccasin flats). So, here she is. I love how bright the yellow is and the leopard detailed buttons. I also love the flirty back. Definitely a piece I will keep in my closet forever!

Featured Friend: Amanda Maria

Since starting this blog, a lot of my friends have been asking if they could be in it. My response? ABSOLUTELY! If you would like to be featured, let me know!

This is my dear friend, Amanda. She has just graduated college and is now getting ready to take her CPA exam. She has been working her butt off and I hope all the best for her in the future. These pictures were taken on one of our not so infamous nights out (we have had MANY). Amanda insisted that I feature the boat shoes that she had purchased a few weeks ago. [Side note: if you have small feet you CAN find cute shoes! Amanda is a 5-5.5 size shoe and she was able to find these fab shoes for summer!] I am also loving the messenger Coach bag! Perfect for a night out, as I mentioned here about my summer picks.

Oh yeah, and she insisted  I also take a picture of her fashionable watch the other night! Haha love her!

If she's this crazy now, there's no telling what's in store.

Yesterday was another hot one for Philadelphia. My friend Jordyn and I decided to go to Neshaminy State Park. This part of the park is near the Delaware River. It is a nice place to just sit back and relax. I rolled up my jeans because it was so hot and kind of wished I had worn shorts instead! We did go to two BBQ's later so I did swap them out then. I also love this shirt with the fun frilly sleeves! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Take it easy, baby.

I LOVE this dress! It is so light weight and easy to throw on. Guess how much it was? FOURTEEN BUCKS! Such a steal! These pictures were taken a couple days ago, but I threw this dress on today to do some errands and I instantly felt fab walking around in it! What's your go to outfit for the summer?

We all shine on.

 

Happy Monday all! As I promised, here are some outfit shots. These were taken at the train tracks near Stephanie's apartment. We both think they came out really cool and might be doing some more in the near future! I really love how the yellow in my shorts pop against the background!
