It's been awhile.. so long in fact that I forgot what program I had been using to edit my blog pics when I went to upload these whoooops.. Life has been good though. I'm taking my last two college courses right now and by the end of the summer I'll officially be a college graduate!! In the meantime, I'm trying to get back into blogging now that I don't have as much going on so if all goes as planned I'll be posting much more frequently from now on.. no promises though ha.. This was one of those outfits that I just threw together because I was running late that just felt right. All I've been wanting to wear lately are breezy maxi skirts and dresses or as little clothing as possible while still remaining decent. I'm so happy summer is finally here, but I always forget just how hot it really is until its back.

What I'm Wearing:

dress| thrifted t shirt| Urban Outfitters  boots| Sam Edelman

It might be a little late to call this post sweet summer, but these pictures were taken on the last day of summer last September so I'm a little behind. Still love this outfit though. I'm big into tunics right now, they're so easy to throw on and go. I had a long and rigorous fall semester and a wonderful break, but now I'm back at it in my last real semester! I only have one summer semester after this and then I will officially have my bachelors degree! I can't believe I'm almost there, it doesn't even feel real yet. Hopefully I'll be able to check back with some new posts between now and then, but I have a jam packed semester to get through again. Pray for me.

Hi guys! These are the few pictures I took on my trip to Austin a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately I didn't get as many as I planned on, but at least I managed to get shots of one of my outfits! Speaking of my outfit, I am completely in love with these shorts from Tunnel Vision. They are the creation of two bloggers I love and I highly recommend checking out their brand Bad Vibes. I love everything I've purchased from them so far and can't wait to get some more! I had so much fun wandering around downtown Austin and vintage shopping with Andrea. I ended taking home a super destroyed George Thoroughgood t and an oh so perfect white button up with me from this great vintage store called Frock On. On top of that, I also got my septum pierced! I've wanted to get it done for months now so I finally worked up the courage and I love it (pictures of it in my next post!). I had a really great experience at a shop called Diablo Rojo, so if you're in the Austin area I highly recommend them! If you'd like to see more of our trip head over to Andrea's blog, Deer and the Wolf, and check out her video post!

Hi guys! I know I've been MIA for awhile now, but I've had some pretty big changes since my last post and hadn't gotten around to blogging about them till now. I began the summer with a very unexpected, but very exciting move to Austin, TX after my fiance was offered an incredible job opportunity. I lived there for the summer and moved back to Houston this past weekend to begin my school semester so we're going to be doing a lot of back and forth for the next year, but I really can't wait to get back to Austin and explore my new city! This outfit was actually from my last week in Houston before the move, but I finally was able to take some today so there will be a new post from me soon. Anyways I'm glad to be back and I can't wait to show y'all some of the great new pieces I've gotten recently!

Its been awhile since I've had some outfit pictures to post on here so I had Andrea take a few real quick yesterday before I had to run off to meet my fiance. Even in this little clothes I was melting after 5 minutes outside.. Its officially summertime! I originally threw this together on fathers day last weekend to go out to lunch/dinner and decided to re-wear it so I could finally get some pictures for my neglected blog. Its not that I haven't been dressing blog worthy, I just haven't managed to get any pictures lately.. still need to get that remote and I haven't seen Andrea as often in the last couple weeks. Time to start training Kyle to take my pictures. Anyways, clearly the halter top obsession is still going strong. I think I've worn this top more days than not this week.. oops. I have some super exciting news to share with you guys really soon! It's pretty much official already I just don't want to jinx anything haha

This event happened a couple months ago, but it seems like instameet ups are becoming a somewhat regular part of my life and I couldn't be happier! This one was put together by Kendall Hanna, an awesome lady I actually met a while ago through working at Urban Outfitters. She is fairly new to Houston and hosted this as an opportunity to get to know some fellow creatives here (feels pretty cool to be referred to as a "creative" as I'd never really thought of myself that way before). This one was a little different from the previous ones I've been to since we met at a cool restaurant in the Heights area (Downhouse) and socialized over drinks and snacks. It's always really nice to meet more people in the Houston area. Especially since it's not always easy meeting like minded souls in such a spread out and industrial city. Plus, Downhouse has some really good fries.

wooooo! first post with my new camera! (canon rebel t3) I still have a lot of learning to do, but it was fun to finally use it and get to play with the settings. No auto for me! This is also my first time wearing my bangs down in what feels like forever! Pretty much have little side bangs finally!! Truth be told, I'm in no way into polka music nor do I have any clue how to actually "do the polka," but I liked the sound of it as a title soo.. This is my new favorite dress and it's only $30 at Urban right now! (in store) I might have to add its twin in black to my wardrobe as well if it goes on sale.. I've been craving slip dresses for the warmer weather and have yet to thrift any good ones so I'll most likely be wearing it constantly from now on. Hopefully I can think of some other ways to wear it since currently I can't imagine anything better than this pairing. I guess it'll be a challenge!

I've been fighting the urge to rewear this outfit daily since I put it together.. This slip dress from Free People is just too great. Perfect for layering now and it will make the perfect easy maxi to throw on come summer. The rest of the outfit consists of many other favorites as well (I probably wear this flannel a minimum of 2x a week..) and it went especially well with my new best friend: namely, this floral headband. I decided to grow my bangs out a few weeks ago because as much as I love em, the upkeep is a pain. However, this in between phase is becoming seriously painful as well, but they're almost side bangs length! woooo! I spent this day with my wonderful friend/blog photographer Andrea running errands and not doing too much else. I love that we can just get together and do whatever, but always have fun. I'm looking forward to seeing her this Friday to play with my new dslr. I got it last week, but haven't had much time to get to know it.. I seriously can't wait to learn how to use it! I've been wanting a new hobby and increasing my photography skills is obviously perfect as it goes hand in hand with furthering my blog! Until next time!

I always try to eat somewhat healthy because I like healthy food and it makes me feel good inside and out.  I'm always ready to try new things and have been wanting to start making green smoothies for awhile now. I've kept putting it off though because I wanted to buy a fancy new blender first, but I finally gave up the procrastination and pulled out the old one last week. The result was pretty tasty so I thought I'd share it here! It was super easy to make, nothing too special and it was a great beginner smoothie.
