maximum

Ah, this picture sucks, but omgz I'm finally making an ~outfit post~
albeit a sucky oneKohl's (energie) red maxi dress, UO sandals (not pictured, but I mentioned them in this post)

I guess this is kind of anticlimatic, since I'm not really wearing anything crazy, but I do looovvvvveee this dress. I work at Kohl's in my hometown when I'm not at VCU and I had been eyeing this maxi dress for a while. I finally bought it a few days ago. We have a bunch of different ones in stock and several of my coworkers were bugging me to try one on since they thought I'd look good in them (I'm about 5'7, so I guess that's taller than average?). I was doubtful, but I fell in love with this one. Maxi dresses are so summer-y, and I liked how this one was in red, not a very summer-y color in my eyes. It's so comfortable too, and it was perfect for this 90+ degree day.

nifty

I've decided I'm not going to make a post about the cfda's or resort 2010. I've sort of neglected this blog for the past few days and too much time has passed and all that shebang is now old news and already talked to death about on every other blog out there.

In other news, the weather continues to be terrible. Today was nice (thank god) but there has just been way too much rain lately, it's ridiculous. I've been working so much and honestly, I haven't felt very inspired lately. However, I did find some awesome things at the thrift store the other day!

Forgive me though, these pictures suck.

black cross body bagThis picture doesn't do it justice!

90s floral bustier topLOVE LOVE it, I don't know how I'm going to wear it but I'll think of something. It's very Beverly Hills 90210. 90s revival, check it.

floral skirtAgain, very 90s. It's a little big but I plan on wearing this as a high waited skirt. From far away, it kind of looks like it's covered in pokeballs. Bahahaha!

red flatsMy UO ones have been worn to death, so these will make a nice replacement.

Successful thrifting is always a good pick-me-up.

I'm going to write a proper post about the CFDA's and my thoughts on the Resort 2010 season, but until then enjoy these:

The colors are just amazing, breathtaking... and I'm usually not big on pastels. That is all for now, I need not to be late for work again.

cycle style

My newest source of inspiration, copenhagen cycle chic! All in all, today has not been a good day, but finding this blog sort of helped brighten what's left of this day. Forreals. I love biking and fashion, and together it's just sweeter.






If you haven't already checked out this blog, you muuussst.

When I'm in Richmond I rarely ever see the inside of a car. There's really no need for cars in the city when everything is just a short walk or bikeride away. There are few things I enjoy more than a spontaneous bikeride through the city on a nice day.

Oh PS, Happy 23rd Birfday Mary Kate & Ashley, LAWLZ. Seriosuly, I love them and I have NO shame. Check out this tumblr of their style throughout the years.

dark vs. light

Magnificent Magazine June 2009







I love the contrast between these two light and dark haired beauties and their corresponding clothes. Delicious. I might go ahead and make the second to last picture my new banner!

summertime clothes






cobrasnake

Sweet summer night and I'm stripped to my sheets
Forehead is leaking my AC squeaks
And a voice from the clock says "You're not gonna get tired"
My bed is a pool and the wall's on fire
Soak my head in the sink for a while
It chills my neck and it makes me smile
But my bones have to move and my skin's gotta breathe
You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved

You slide down the stairs to the eager street
And the sun is left with slippery feet
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
And be here with you

It doesn't really matter, I'll go where you feel
Home for the breeze, get a midnight meal
I'll point in the windows, you point out the parks
Rip off your sleeves and I'll ditch my socks
Dance to the songs from the cars as they pass
Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash
Walking around in our summertime clothes
Know where to go where our bodies go

And we'll breath the dawn in its morning blues
With purple yawns, you'll be sleeping soon
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you

When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
When the sun goes down we'll go out again!
Don't cool off, I like your warmth

Let's leave the sound of the heat for the sound of the rain
It's easy to sleep when it wets my brain
It covers my rest with a saccharine sheen
Kissing the wind through my window screen
But restless is causeless and I cannot hide
So much of my mind that it spills outside
Do you wanna go stroll down a financial street?
Our clothes might get soaked
But the buildings sleep

And there's no one pushing for a place
As we enter at an easy pace
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
I want to walk around with you
I want to walk around with you
I want to walk around with you
I want to walk around with you

Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you
Just you

rainy daze

So this past week, the weather has been terrible. Rainy and/or humid every day. That's Virginia weather for you! You never known what to expect. But lately I've felt like I'm in Seattle, and not in a good way. Meh. So all in all, I've felt very uninspired lately. I hate how the weather seems to control my moods.

I went shopping and picked up a few things... nothing spectacular or crazy, just a few nice and versatile pieces.

Target (Mossimo) asymmetrical tee
I am a sucker for white t-shirts. I loved the silhouette of this particular shirt.

I also got a black tulip skirt with these awesome slouchy pockets (also from Target) but I can't seem to find a picture on the website. Boo!

swimsuit from Victoria's Secret
I've finally found the perfect red swimsuit! And it makes my boobs look awesome! The rest of my body is another story, lawl.

I'm hopelessly pale and I don't really tan or even burn. I feel like the red will compliment my skintone. Kind of like this (except I'm not blonde)
via polkadots & vodkashots

I'm kind of glad glad pale is coming back in to fashion (slowly but steadily). As I've gotten older I've started to feel a little less self conscious about my vampire skin.

EDIT:
That above statement kind of comes across wrong. I think all skintones are beautiful, to be honest. I just wish that there was a wider, accepted scheme of colors deemed "beautiful."

"DO YOU GO OUTSIDE?!"

YES, YES I DO.
