spring/summer wishlist

As you can tell, someone might have had a little too much fun in Photoshop this afternoon. After I got finished with my Astronomy exam, I dragged myself back to my room and did some much needed window shopping to make myself feel better. And then I played Pokemon (no, not the newest game; I'm playing Soul Silver again) and finally remembered that I'd started this. 

1. Toms Classics in Chocolate (I need a new pair; I can almost stick my big toe through the hole forming in my black pair.)

2. Rhinestone Bunny Ring (Animal rings, always a good idea.)

3. Coral Print Square Scarf (I love scarves in warm weather.) 

4. Rainbow Stripe Umbrella (For April showers!)

5. Black Lace Collar Dress (Give me all the Peter Pan collars. ALL OF THEM.)

6. Sweetheart Sunnies (Simply adorable.)

7. Black Check Skater Skirt (How many more black skirts do I really need?)

8. Polka Dot Bag (Perfect summer tote.)

9. Loving Heart Ring (I love both colors.)

10. Cooperative Canvas Strap Wedge (I need a new pair of black wedges and black sandals. Multiple options!) 

11. Beige Polka Dot Cropped Cardigan (Give me all the polka dots as well.)

12. Orange Peter Pan Collar Dress (This dress is to-die-for. Goodbye cruel world.)

13. Ecote Toehold Simple Gladiator Sandal (Long name, cute shoe.)

14. Cooperative Trompe L'Oeil Eyeglass Case (For my heart shaped sunnies.)

15. And for the sake of an even number, here's one more thing on my list that didn't quite fit: Jersey Pocket Skirt (I loathe American Apparel but I've needed this skirt in navy for about four years now. It's time to make the plunge this summer.)

What's on your wishlist? What trends are you looking forward to?

out of print clothing

If you love literature and you want a cute printed tee or a fleece sweatshirt to get cozy in, Out of Print is a great place to look. They have an amazing variety of classic book covers at a price that's not too shabby, considering that for every shirt they sell, they donate a book to a community in need through Books for Africa. I basically want every one of their shirts and hopefully, come summertime when I have a job, you'll see me in any of the three shirts above.

Okay, fangirling over and back to normal blogging sometime this week!

six days at the bottom of the ocean

Today has not been a great day. It's cold and rainy outside, my outfit refused to photograph well, and I'm still enduring a headache I've had for nearly a week now. Can it just be Harry Potter premiere time and Thanksgiving? To cheer myself up, I'm blasting the heat and listening to some Explosions in the Sky, as well as catching up on some TV. How great is the new episode of Misfits?

I decided, in lieu of an outfit, I'd show you guys some things I'm digging for Christmas. I've been told that my family doesn't do Christmas like other families. We're not really secretive our gifts at all and last year I even ordered my own present (a pair of Toms) from my parents because they're computer inept. But when it comes to my extended family, my aunt likes to get an idea from us of what we'd like, but surprise us with our final present. I'm sending her this to show her what type of clothes I'm into at the moment.

 As you can see, I'm loving prints and more neutral colors right now. Putting this together made me want to go shopping, but I currently have eight dollars in my bank account and, obviously more importantly than money to shop, I need to buy some food and my Harry Potter tickets, but I hate asking my parents for money. So goes the life of a poor college student.
