Knits in July... Thanks Zara

So Zara was/is having a huge summer sale.. and they had a bunch of knits (??? summer ???) on sale. And I'm a sucker for a nice knit sweater... so I got two. In July. How's this for thinking ahead?

I passed over this pullover at first, but then I tried it on... and I'm now in love. I've been wearing it with my AE short shorts (yeah, a sweater with shorts), and I think I will be getting a lot of wear out of it this winter. It's made of acrylic, so I'm not expecting it to last beyond this winter, but for $20, it's a great winter (and summer?!) piece.

This was the first knit in the huuuge pile of knits that caught my eye. With my sucker-ness for knits comes a sucker-ness for white/beige/grey tops. I have a stupid amount of these 3 colours in my closet. But. I did not have a beige knit cardigan. I was a little put off by the size at first (a large, when I'm normally a small, or even extra small), but again, trying things on is the best idea ever. It looks oversized in a chic way, rather than sloppy, and while it looks a bit boxy with shorts, I can't wait to pair it with skinny jeans or leggings and a low heel in the winter.

There were loads of other colours, and while I stared longingly at them, I think these are the most practical... since I can wear them with as much colour as I want to! ... And a knit in a classic colour will never go out of fashion.

a lioness in stripes... and glasses

I'll start by saying that it's incredibly hot and humid outside- which is why my hair has decided to take inspiration from a wild animal. I just went with it, I think it gives an otherwise simple outfit a little bit of oomph. The heat is also why I am showing a bit more skin than usual. Normally if I'm wearing these shorts I'll pair them with at least a t-shirt, rather than a tank. But. Comfort reigns.

Silly face, yes I know.

I did however pair this outfit with some wedges. Not necessarily the smartest move for sweat-weather, and I won't be wearing them when I go out later today, but I thought they worked well and dressed up the shorts a bit.

statement necklace!

new glasses! talk nerdy to me...

So as you can see I got new glasses. Not that you would actually be able to tell, since my old glasses were seen rarely by my blog and Youtube. I just don't like the way they look on camera usually, so I take them off (or wear my contacts... but usually I'm just blind!).

I'm also dabbling in the statement necklace here... I have quite a few of them but always chicken out whenever I consider wearing one.  This is a good start though- a neutral colour, and nice and light material (I think the beads are some sort of bean??).

new dress, new boots, new outfit!

These two lovely pieces came into my possession yesterday, and I'm very very excited, as both were on sale! I put them together when trying on the dress in the store, and thought, "Hey, that looks pretty cool!", so I wore these together today!

I love this dress so much. I'll do a post a bit later on my dress-buying checklist (which is very important!). I can just roll it up and toss it in my bag, and it looks great. I'm also in love with these boots. Hopefully my feet will forgive me once I've broken them in a bit. I like the way they toughen this dress up a little bit. And how my neon pink nail polish goes with them :P

Dress- Free People
Shoes- Miz Mooz

I'm alive!!

Hello lovelies!

I had been making such great progress with this blog- much more consistent posting than my beauty blog, that's for certain. And am absolutely planning to post more, but am currently at my cottage. With no internet besides my BB (which I am writing this on right now!). So my fashion choices consist of shorts and tshirts, and photos would be poor anyway.

But. will be back in civilization for a day or two very soon. bear with me! I have many things to show you and rant/rave about!

Talk to you all very soon!

Fangirl Supreme: Meeting Prince William!

I'm about to head off to the cottage, but I thought I'd post a quick picture of me (or my hand!) shaking hands with Prince William yesterday! I'll do a post a bit later with more details and I have some video too, but I'm running late!

I was inspired by Kate for my look, I wore my American Eagle highwaisted denim shorts and a beige Michael Kors short sleeved sweater! Simple, classy, but casual!

Anyway, here's William! He was so lovely!

He was so close I couldn't fit his whole face in. Aaaaah.
