8 pairs, 8 days, 8 ways // Day 8









Top- J. Crew | Shorts- American Eagle | Shoes- Gap | Jacket- American Rag @ Macy's | Caribou Black Sunglasses- c/o Giant Vintage | Bracelets- c/o Starry Groove, gifted | Necklace- Rice's Market 

I saved my favorite pair for last! These are the Caribou glasses in black, and they're $24. 
Tomorrow, I have an awesome sunglasses inspired post to put up! So make sure you check back to see that. It will include 17 ways to wear sunglasses!! Pretty exciting stuff.

Also exciting? Homecoming weekend! My school is lame in that we don't have a football team. But I guess that is a good thing since then soccer is the big homecoming sport! We're playing a really good team, so I'm looking forward to a good game. Wish me luck !

Finally, a shout out to Giant Vintage, for sending me EIGHT pairs of sunglasses to style here on the blog! The past eight posts have been some of my FAVORITE yet!

A Disorganized Hoarder






Top- Urban Outfitters, Skirt- Old Navy, Belt- Gap, Shoes- Calypso for Target, Ring- Manic Trout, Friendship Bracelets- DIY, Necklace- Rice's Market

I was featured on Linda's blog, Trendy Teal yesterday since it was her first day of college!!! Check out one of my back to school looks featured on her blog here.

This outfit is perfect because it's transitionary. While the neons and espadrille wedges keep us hanging on to summer, the darker colors transition into fall.
On a non-fashion related note...I have a little characteristic about myself (that hopefully some of you have, too)! I should start by saying that I am a very disorganized person. As in I like to keep all of my things scattered on my floor in my room. Stuff is much easier to find that way, right?? Anyways, at the beginning of every school year, I buy a gazillion binders and color code them into sections. I count out equal number pens and pencils and put them in a shiny new pencil case. I even organize my locker all special into sections. And on the first day, my handwriting is miraculously neat--and I copy down the teacher word for word. In my colorful (NEAT) binders, of course. Let me tell you, that does not last long. By the second or third week, I've got papers strewn in my locker. Empty water bottles stuck in every nook and cranny. Binders are long forgotten. And (*cringe*) sometimes food and candy wrappers. Okay, not sometimes...always. I'm basically a disorganized hoarder. The thing is, I like organization. I really do. And the fact that I try at the beginning of the year proves it! But I just can't keep it up. I guess using binders and keeping a locker clean and a room clean and a closet organized and my laundry all in one place and...wait, let's get back on track. 

What I'm trying to say is, it's just too much effort to stay organized. I'm always hurrying from one place to the next. So why does everything need to be organized? This year, I've finally learned my lesson. I am not buying binders...gasp. And I'm sharing a locker with my most organized friend (who will kick me out if I'm messy)!!! So I'm starting on the right foot this year. Let's see how long I'll last! :)

So, there you have my back to school story! Is anyone else messy and disorganized like me? But, if you had the time, would be organized? Tell me I'm not alone! 
All kidding aside, my outfits are organized! I love to color coordinate in my outfits and wear corresponding accessories. 
Do you have any quirky characteristics ?

Tea Party






Dress (I'm wearing UK size 8/US size XS)- c/o Madam Rage, Shoes- Converse via Delia's, Hat- NYC street vendor, Silver Stone Bracelet-c/o Lobby, Pink Bracelet-c/o Torn To Pieces, Purple-y Bracelet-gifted, Necklace- Rice's Market

So today I went to a tea party at my friend's new house that was BYOTC (Bring Your Own Tea Cup). How cute is that?? I --of course-- did not have a tea cup/was too lazy to find one so I brought a nice big ole' mug. And all of my friends had their pretty little china tea cups and I just stood their grinning with my big ole' mug. Also I'm pretty sure that I ate 5+ mini cupcakes. I could not restrain myself. It was pretty awesome. And here's what I wore! Except I switched out red flats for the Converse so it was a bit more dressy. How cute is this dress from Madam Rage? I seriously love all of the clothing stores from the UK. Madam Rage, Topshop, LOVE, etc. They all totally rock.

Aaaand tomorrow....I'm seeing a play on Broadway in NYC! I'll tell you which one (and how it was) in my next post. I can't wait--I love daytripping into NYC.

AND HOW AWESOME IS THE QUALITY OF THESE PICTURES. I switched out the lens that came with the DSLR for a 55mm-200somethingmm lens and just stood farther away from my camera and tripod. The photos are so much clearer, crisper, and just overall...LOVE the quality. What do you guys think? Big difference, right? :)

OH AND DON'T FORGET TO ENTER THE FACEBOOK GIVEAWAY IN THE POST BELOW!

p.s. LOOK--IT'S ME! And I'm on the homepage of Crash and Burn's store (third slide). Check it ouutttt here.

...so I'm about 2 months late on the H&M floral pants craze, but that's okay. I'm even later actually, if you count that I haven't worn them to school yet. These seem more like resort wear to me, don't you think? I can picture myself playing croquet or sipping a miami vice (sans alcohol) or even sitting on a beach-view balcony 25 stories up. But I feel like these just wouldn't WORK to wear to high school. First of all, although the print is fun and colorful, when I brought them home the day I'd bought them, my dad told me they looked like his grandmother's favorite floral tablecloth. Also, they are supposed to be pants. On me, they're more like capris. Let's pretend they're supposed to be like that, okay? And thirdly....thirdly, I would REALLY stand out. I mean really. One girl in my class wore the shirt version of this H&M print to school and she got a lot of compliments, which meant people were noticing. And that was just a floral SHIRT! What do you think? Are these
capris
pants acceptable to wear to high school? Or should I save them for the breezy, balmy weather of some high-end resort that I may or may not go to?


p.s. You may have noticed I've now started including "similar" links. I encourage you to click and see what I've picked for you guys!! :)
