my city, a heat wave, f21 dress, old navy cardigan, steve madden boots, vintage Etienne Aigner bag, vintage shades, a couple of store fronts, and some empty back alleys

Hey mr. tambourine man, play a song for me

outfits and outings

Ive been more than a little busy this past week, but here's a quick update: starting with the events farthest away, this is from earlier in the week...

gap dress, vintage vest, vintage santana ankle boots.


sometimes we go places and eat soup and bagels...(that's maureen)

my friend came home visiting from college and as the local pancake house was obscenely crowded we settled on driving about 30minutes farther and going to paneras for breakfast (although we ate more like it was lunch.)

The latest outfit that I haven't posted: going back to my bohemian roots for a gorgeous warm day in april.
H&M maxi dress, H&M cardigan, target sandals

Jewlry: f21 gold locket, vintage owl pendant, and vintage beaded necklace.


my break time, and a shot of the braided detail in my hair.

if you havent heard this song, listen, its my new favorite.

Origins by Tennis, (off their new album Young and Old)

I only drink tea when it's flavor is lemon...

Spring is in the air and I am getting antsy. Its still a little chilly somedays but I have foresaken my jackets in favor of sweaters! An alternative that keeps me warm but makes me think its not as cold.

My jeans are thrift, as is my pink and white stripped button down. The heels are target, and the sweater was a gift. I think its from Scotland (maybe Ireland?) I'm not entirely sure but I love the tortoise shell buttons, and apparently all the cable knits mean something but I have forgotten what over time. My jewelry and sunglasses and belt (ECHO) are both vintage, like almost always.

Last I come to my headband. I made it, actually and will making more similar and different to it that I will be selling! My shop should be up soon with a few different styles.

Yellow makes me infinitely happy.

where did all the shadow people go

Spring is in the air, I can practically taste my impending graduation, and there's more and more to do to prepare for college next year. Lets come already summer, I am tired of waiting.

Guess skirt, and H&M top, if you look close you can see the really pretty lace detail around the neck.

My saddle shoes are from candies, and my watch is Urban Outfitters. I made my own headband. I'm planning to open my etsy shop this week for my designs. There willll be more headbands, and some clothes/bags as it progresses, hope you visit!

Ps. my post title comes from one of the most amazing songs ever written, shadow people by Dr. Dog. Their music inspires and influences me in more ways than I can count, enjoy...
