Summer Dress

I love wearing dresses in the summer, although I think most girls do. They're so flowy and cool in the hot, hot sun. I am always window shopping for them and have found some cute ones this year.

ModCloth is one of my absolute favorite stores! The prices have such a huge range and all of the clothes are so cute and unique. I'm somone who likes to wear trendy items but with a twist, so this is the perfect store for me. {dress 1, dress2}

These two dresses are from Forever21 and I picked them because they're a little different, but very wearable. I have made a rule for myself that I can no longer order dresses online from F21, because even when I double check the length it's never what I expect and it's usually much too short.{dress 1, dress 2}

Target was my last stop, they are alwasy the most comfortable in my opinion. They aren't as unique, but the colors are still bright and fun. {dress 1, dress 2}

Back In Black

I got back from my trip to Chicago last night and it was so wonderful; I love being such a short drive away from my sister. I'll be honest though, I crashed when I got home. I don't know if it I didn't sleep well or if it was something about the drive, but I was wiped out!

After my vacation and week of resting last week it is definitely time to get back to reality. And just in case I wasn't sure of that, I woke up to find my bathroom light fixture full of water and dripping on the floor!! So while I wait for my building manager to come I thought I should get to work on my blog.

I wanted to find some fun black items for summer. Black is the last thing I gravitate towards during these hot months, but it makes for a great accent piece and/or staple that could stay stylish for years to come.

I realize the nail polish and mascara are a stretch - but they are new finds for me that I really love! The Sephora matte top coat would also look amazing over black polish.

My Life

I am officially done with my senior year - part 1. It's a little disheartening to see your friends graduate and know you still have a lot to go. That's life though, you just have to keep going!

Since I have finally reached an end with school I intentially took this week off. I wanted to rest up and just relax, not worry about a thing! and it's been really nice! I organized our storage closet, gave myself a pedicure, called friends and made dinners for the next week. Tim and I also celebrated our anniversary! It's crazy to think I've been married a year!

The following are pictures of a couple of things that have made me happy lately...

Tim and I went to our favorite restaurant, the place were Tim almost proposed to me - Payne's. I got a caramel latte and a salmon burger wrap, both were delicous!

These are two manicures I had - I apologize for the picture quality. The top is a press on and the bottom is a glitter gradient I did myself that I'm pretty proud of.
