pictures from last week

Psst, check back for an outfit post tomorrow as I go trek through Gettysburg.

today's the day!

The big day is here! Can you tell where I'm headed? I'm going to Niagara Falls! I'm so excited! But first, I get to accompany my boyfriend's family to Bald Head Island for a week. This means that I'll be gone for a little over two weeks! It's been a busy week so I haven't really had time to create any posts, but I'm sure you'll forgive me for my absence. See you in June!

(And in case you were wondering, I'm not doing guest bloggers just because I initially thought that the Niagara Falls trip would be later in June and that I'd just schedule some posts for the Bald Head Island trip and worry about guest bloggers for my next two trips. By the time I found out that we'd be leaving for Niagara Falls on the fifth, I didn't feel it was right for me to ask people to step in for me with only a week's notice. 

Next vacation, you'll get to see some faces besides mine on this blog, hopefully!

Also, so many exclamation points! Can you tell I'm both excited and extremely nervous?)

weekly favorites

Back to normal on the "weekly favorites" front, but I feel like I should apolgoize for the lack of outfit posts lately. I've had some trouble sleeping which in turn makes me feel like crap and makes me even more prone to anxiety and this week has just felt like a whole mess. Tomorrow, I should have an outfit post (or two!) for you because my older sister is graduating! I still have no idea what I'm wearing, though. D:

Onto the outfits! This week's theme is essentially Women Who Are Infinitely More Fierce Than Me.

1. eat.sleep.wear. - The shorts, the elbow patches on the striped sweater- this outfit was pulled out of my dreams.

2. Kendi Everyday - Are you guys tired of seeing bright pants in my posts? Too bad, because if Kendi will keep wearing them, I will keep drooling and cursing my adolescent body for not fitting into Gap clothes.

3. Selective Potential - Tieka's outfit was not only cute, but featured a killer backdrop. And I have to say, I do like a good themed post.

4. The Daybook - I love this entire outfit so much that I want to frame it and put it on my wall. Is that creepy?

pinned

In lieu of a weekly favorites post (because I've alternated between being swamped and having no energy all week which doesn't make for the best blogging experience), I thought I would show off some things that I've pinned on Pinterest.

(1, 2, 3, and 4)

I'll let you guess what item I just bought based on what these pictures have in common. I hope everyone has a great weekend and I'll be back to the normal weekly favorites next week!

weekly favorites

Hi everyone! I probably won't be able to take any outfit pictures or anything until at least Tuesday, but most likely Wednesday after I've moved back to Winston-Salem. I'm in full exam mode, so I doubt anyone would want to see my outfits anyway!

1. Postcards From - I love Kate's daring pink pants. As I mentioned last week, I really want a pair of bright pants myself, but I'm definitely not going to look as good as Kate does here.

2. Raspberry and Red - Weronika's drapey outfit looks so comfy. She's a repeat from last week where I loved her use of yellow and black and here I am fawning over it again.

3. Po mojej stronie lustra -  I found this girl through Teen Vogue's Fashion Click and I wanted to pin her entire blog to my Pinterest. I love Maddy's polka dots in this Easter outfit.

4. Orchid Grey - Julie is a pro at thrifting and this outfit shows. I love the professional vibe of a blazer paired with relaxed jean shorts.

Also, I have a formspring! Hit me up if you have any questions. I'm off to go see Fast Five. My  boyfriend had to bribe me with "one gay musical and one episode of Doctor Who." Tomorrow he's in for a treat with Were the World Mine (the gay musical he was referring to because I've been trying to get him to watch it with me for the longest time) and the first Doctor Who two parter of this season. I can't wait!

Guess where I'm posting from? Winston-Salem! Yep, I'm home again for Easter and it feels good.

1. Kendi Everyday - A few years ago, I had a pair of bright blue skinny jeans that I adored, but eventually had to trade with a skinnier, less hip-y male friend. The colored pant trend seemed to die down in the years following but all of a sudden recently, I found myself wanting that pair back. I love Kendi's colored pants and the checkered shirt paired with them. Gorgeous!

2. Raspberry and Red - I love the combination of black-and-white stripes and mustard. When I get my late birthday present of a mustard skirt from my sister this weekend, this is a pairing I'm going to try.

3. Orchid Grey - I love Julie's rainy day gear. The striped dress with the bow belt, the sandals, the adorable umbrella- it all makes me want to idk, spin around in the rain or something!
 

4. Transient Withdrawal - Jasmine's shorts are basically perfect, as are her sandals and the adorable bow tie.
