paint the town RED

We're getting our house painted. yay? the only thing bad about it is that in my bathroom i can hear men talking outside the window. which is creepy if you wake up early and forget that the house is getting painted ahaha.

anyway, i had a brief spurt of shopping today. my mom and i ran to tj max just because we wanted to after she picked me up from my volunteer work at vacation bible school. (i'm such a saint. oh yeah) i help out with crafts with the kids. they're pretty crazy but its fun.

my list is slowly getting checked off!

flirty tank tops... CHECK! (i need more tho)

boardshorts...CHECK!

red shoes... CHECK!

high wasted black shorts.... nope

floppy sunhat... nope

so i found some red flats, finally, and a ralph lauren canvas tote. yay.

my mom got a michael kors bag and a lauren ralph lauren bag.

i was jealous about the michael kors bag. she hadn't even heard of these beautiful bags until i brought them until her attention.

but oh well, i'll hopefully borrow it sometime. prepare to see it making an entrance into my outfits!

my mom's bag

red flats-steve madden

ive been looking for a cute canvas bag for those whatever days but all the ones i've seen are just okay but i think this one is pretty cute and it'll go with alot. they had it in blue and yellow too but i thought this would look better with more stuff, you know?

my birthday is in 2 days! oh my!

i'm getting my hair cut tomorrow. bangs? maybe? i'm not sure yet.

Father's Day!

My family didn't really do anything special for father's day. my mom and i sang in our church choir like we do every sunday and then we just chilled back at home. Here's what i wore...

orange shiny shirt (gift from my bestie for christmas) it's a lot brighter in real life and doesn't usually look so wierd!

denim high wasted skirt-old navy

black leather woven flats-lauren by ralph lauren

a gold necklace with a dove on it-gift for confirmation.
Remember how i mentioned shopping? i actually found a few things. only one thing that was on my list though, unfortunately

wedges from american eagle. usually i don't go for wedges, but these were like 20 bucks. so i figured, why not?

more pics of the shoes! i just like how they make my legs look... but these pictures didn't come out so well

top from gap. for some reason i was drawn to this top and i'm really glad i got it. i had a few items with me in the store that i brought to the fitting room but i saw this as i was walking there and i ended up not trying on anything else. i <3>

plain white top from old navy. i just needed some tank tops because in italy it's gonna be HOT and i have like no cute tank tops.

scarf! i'm in love with it! its so soft. mmm

billabong board shorts from pac sun. these were the cheapest ones they had. i don't love them but they cover what i need them too so all is well.

and finally, some sweet and tart body spray from victoria's secret. i wanted a like a fresh summer fragrance, and this one is really citrus-y. i like it, it makes me smell lemony.

Happy Birthday Alix!

Its my friends birthday today, woo!
Annd 7 days til mine!
So today i'm going to hang out with her and some other people for a couple hours and then i'm going shopping, so it'll be a good day.
The place we're going shopping has NONE of my favorite stores but its shopping, which is my favorite thing, so whatever. There is an Ambercrombie and Fitch and a Hollister and American Eagle and Pac sun and the gap and old navy and express and DSW and aeropostale, but i doubt we'll go in there. I'm looking for some high wasted black shorts, a big floppy sun hat, boardshorts because i hate my butt and legs, and some cute flirty tank tops for when i go to italy, to tuck into the shorts. annd i also want to invest in a good pair of red heels. but we'll see. hmm any advice where to find high wasted black shorts at those stores? i think express might but i want cheap ones in case they don't last, as far as fashion goes, for long. Sigh. i wish we were going to the big mall but its too far. ugh.
So here's what im wearing. its nothing special but i like to wear simple pieces when shopping, they're easier to take on and off when trying on clothes.
which way should i wear this, cardigan open or closed?

with the cardigan buttoned

with it open and with silver flats


close up of the top, its a lot brighter in person
cardigan-gap
shirt-gap
shorts- american eagle
flats-aldo or spring, i don't remember
ray bans-legit
bracelet-vintage from grandma addante (may she rest in peace)

Say Ah!

Soo my week so far has consisted of not 1, not 2, but 3 doctors appointments. Gag me. At least i've been able to squeeze some get togethers with my friends in there. Too bad i'm not having my birthday party this month when things are good with everyone.

Which brings us to the birthday countdown! 9 days to go people!

Speaking of parties, here's a dress i wore to a party a week ago. I just hadn't got around to posting it yet and i have no recent outfits to post.

without shoes. my legs look skinny and freaky here. i swere the don't look like that in real life!

with shoes!

the back! i wore it for this one guy, but he was only there for a little while so it was pointless.

The dress is free people, the shoes are from spring i think, and the grey sweater is from h&m

Ray Bans!

Found some tortishell ray ban wayfarers in my dad's desk! I was super happy :))).
i know i know, two posts in one day? but as i've said before, social life=none


HERE they are, and the outfit i wore today. Its nothing special, just went to see a movie with my family.

ugg i look AWKWARD. oh well, its about the ray bans not me. lol

HOt!

Yesterday was really really hot. I wore something cute but i didn't take pictures, oh well.
My friend came over and we walked around the neighborhood for a really long time and just talked. Then i went out to dinner with my parents. So far, summer is LAME. Hopefully it'll get better and i'll have more of a social life haha.
Today i'm wearing sweats, its just one of those days.

Sundress on a Rainy Day

So today was really icky at first but i wore a sundress to brighten things up. Except when i went grocery shopping it was really hott and my outfit was way to warm.
What did i buy at the grocery store? I got a blush stick because my favorite bare minerals powder blush isn't really very easy to apply on buses and in cars. I also got some oil blotting sheets (horray!) and some eyeliner. And a people stylewatch magazing haha.
Soo here is my grocery shopping outfit

not a very good pic i guess

the belt and the necklace. the neclace is turned around though it looks different than that.
Dress- Charolate Russe (shudder, i got this last year before i realized how lame that store is. it makes me look skinny so we'll keep it). belt- anthropologie. shirt- unknown. necklace - forlove 21 (shudder again. this necklace is always breaking. i'll never shop there again). shoes- urban outfitters.

honest to blog?

ah. so here we are. i've never had a blog before, myspace yes. but the parentals weren't too pleased with that. soo a blog. i'll probably just use this to post random outfits and stuff about fashion. which is pretty cool. so i hope anyone who cares to read this enjoys!
