Hello there,

My face is slightly less swollen, thankfully. You can still see my cheek chubbiness a tiny bit in these photos but it's mostly under control. 

I go back to New York in exactly one week. 

Also, this song makes me cry:

You are dreaming

satchel and sandals: ???, dress, belt, sunglasses: thrifted, blouse: forever 21, clock necklace: primark

I'm so in love with this dress. I bought it so that I could cut it up into a matching crop top/skirt set but I can't do it. It's too lovely. 

I really love this outfit. Wearing it to work today!

Tractor Chic

My family owns a tractor. I've never really understood why, as we don't live on a farm or have an enormous amount of property or anything, but it's always been there! I'm not complaining, however, because it made for a lovely prop with this vintage look. 

The hat is vintage, glasses are thrifted, swim top is from American Apparel - buy it here. and the jeans are vintage Express

I'm in St. Louis visiting my sister today, so these photos are from yesterday - it's strange how different Eastern Missouri is from Kansas City. Everything is faster - the people, the drivers. I like this city a lot, but I love the feel of Kansas City - people are so incredibly friendly, and everything is so laid back, which is where I get my personality from, I suppose. Kansas City will always be home, no matter how in love I fall with other cities (like New York and Dublin - my other two homes).

Another place that seems like a second home for me is Urban Outfitters. I have a serious shopping problem whenever I enter a UO store. It doesn't matter if I have money or not, I WILL buy something, which is how I've acquired most of what I'm wearing in these photos, and how I acquired two new tops today, which you will see soon! 

The top, dress and sandals are all from UO, everything else is thrifted, gifts or vintage. 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Stay stylish, and listen to this awesome band:

Overalls

I bought these overalls at the Salvation Army in my town a few days ago - they were brand new but incredibly old - so dusty! I had to wash them twice before they felt like actual denim, but SO WORTH IT. I love them so much. They fit perfectly and they are just so beautiful. Sigh. I have a habit of getting obsessed over a certain item of clothing and buying a million until I don't even know what to do with them all, and I have a feeling overalls will be next (After I finish with my current obsession - crop tops/bralets). I don't know that I could ever bring myself to buy a new pair of overalls - I like the vintage feel to thrifted ones. They're more authentic, I guess. I love how they feel and look - they're just perfect <3 

What I'm wearing: Overalls: thrifted, platform sandals: Urban Outfitters, bandeau: Forever 21, sunglasses: Charming Charlie

And here's some Bob Dylan for your ears:

St Vincent

So here we go, St. Vincent was my first concert of the summer, and it was incredible! Annie Clark has to be the most beautiful woman in the world. She's insanely pretty (if you don't believe me just click here), and she's AMAZING live. If given the chance, GO SEE HER. I had the privilege of seeing her play in her hometown, Tulsa. I hadn't been to Tulsa since I was a child, and I loved it. The people are so friendly and stylish and the city is a really nice size. Shearwater, a band from Austin, was the opening act, and they were also very good live. It was a wonderful night.

And here's my outfit of the day: I went thrifting today and found these sandals for $3. (I believe they're from forever 21 but I could be mistaken) I also bought some other neat things that I can't wait to wear! 

It seems like every time I wear platform sandals anywhere I get an incredible amount of comments on my height. (I'm 5'10 normally). I had 3 people say how tall I was today - strange! 

what I'm wearing: shirt, bag, shoes: thrifted, dress: awear, socks: forever 21, necklace: random store in Barcelona

The Blues

It seems like lately I've been wearing a LOT of blue clothing - it isn't intentional, and I'm not all that fond of the color blue, but apparently I own much more blue clothing than I knew about. Which I'm perfectly okay with. Today was mother's day and I celebrated by cooking lunch at my grandma's house with my mom. We made pizza - yum! 

The crop top in the photos is from H&M and I'm quite proud of the purchase, as 20% of the amount I paid goes to help fund HIV/AIDS awareness projects. It is an amazing cause, and I'm so happy that H&M is able and willing to make the world a better place (while also selling adorable clothes!).

Outfit 1: hat: forever 21, dress: urban outfitters, cardigan: gift, denim shirt: thrifted, wedges: DSW

Outfit 2: crop top: H&M, jeans, backpack: thrifted, boots: penneys

Home at last

My first blog post. It's crazy that it's taken me this long to create my own blog. I've always wanted to, but I've never had the time to actually do it. Now I do though, and I'm so excited for it!

I've been in Dublin, Ireland for the past few months studying abroad for the semester. I had such an amazing time, but I'm glad to be home so I can focus on things like blogging and working for awhile. In my next post I'll include some photos of my trip.
