For The Love Of...

Rompers and dresses are probably the easiest things to pick out because there are no worries on what shirt to wear or what pants or skirt to choose.

Since the weather yesterday was unbearable I had to reside to something that would keep me cooler so I opted for this. 

I only added my necklace for an added flare.

    It's Friday, enjoy the weekend :)

Stay Cool

 I have been all about the brights lately and decided that it was time for a little change at least for a day and went back to the basic neutrals. These shorts are super soft and fit just right. I got them from Forever 21, last year for about 12 dollars. I forgot how great they were, I seem to do that a lot. I buy more and more and forget I have great things in my closet that I could reuse. (HELLO)

Anyways, I went to the movies yet again…have any question on any movies that's out in theatres and I could probably answer them for you. I went and saw Brave with the siblings and it was such a great movie. I enjoyed it and even my 19-year brother liked it!  So that says something.

 The Boyfran and the pup, how cute! :) Lovin' the summer nights

On a side note if you live in Illinois be careful, stay hydrated and cool, today is the hottest day to date with a whoppin’ high of 101°

Happy Thursday!

Guest Blogger: Wanderlust and Such

Hey Friends, this is my guest blogger for the day. She is funny and sweet and with a great sense in fashion. Stay a bit and read more, ENJOY!

Hello, hello lovely readers! I'm Olivia from Wanderlust and Such. Eliza asked me to do a guest post after she appeared on my blog  and I was thrilled to do so! My blog is a baby blog at only a month old or so. I made one because I spent years and years reading and obsessing over fashion blogs (and fashion itself). I thought, hey, why not me? It's connected me with so many great girls (like Eliza!) and really inspired me to be even more creative in how I dress. Speaking of, please stop by my blog and say hello! I love checking out new blogs and meeting new readers :)

Here are some quick facts about me!

• I could watch Mad Men, What Not to Wear, or Sex & The City all day, everyday.
• I'm absolutely obsessed with travel and am moving to The Netherlands in August!
• Airports are some of my favorite places in the world. 
• I work at J. Crew and absolutely adore the company. 
• I'm obsessed with the style of Kiernan Shipka, Miranda Kerr, and Jenna Lyons.
• I'm really tall at over 5'11, but I'm slowly learning to love it (and heels!). 
• Some of my celebrity crushes are Jon Hamm, Jason Segel, and Tom Hardy. 
• I could wear my chambray shirt every single day (different ways) and be happy. 
• Favorite trend of the moment: the wedge sneaker (I blame Isabel Marant and Miranda Kerr). 

Here are some more photos of me & my style! Please, please, please don't be shy and stop by my blog! I would love to hear from you guys. 

Not So Picture Perfect

 Ok Ok, so my pictures are not the greatest and having no camera person (the boyfran) is even worse because at least I knew I was centered and the pictures were taken on a good angle. But no this time I had my tripod now I thought it would be easier... but wrong again! So bare with me until I get the hang of it? :)

Today I decided to wear the all white combo and added a printed scarf for some color.  I have been finding myself obsessed with cheetah print, who's with me?

Dessert Please!

I don't know about you guys, but I sure can spend hours on pinterest, pinning beyond belief. I literally lose track of time, drooling over the food especially! 

However, I have become very sneaky because I only pin things that seem possible to my standard of preparing food (which is close to none)...when I should take a challenge. 

 Anyway, 4th of July is approaching and it's time to get my creativity on. And these are a few of the ideas that I might end up doing for whatever it is that I am doing...sadly I still do not know what my family is planning to do. I am sure I will find out 2 days before, the usual. 

Since I don't cook why not bring some awesome desserts? 

Which do you think I should prepare? What's your favorite dish/dessert to make for 4th of July? Any plans?

Happy Monday!

Hello Goodbye

Yesterday I had decided to visit my cousins and when I think about MY cousins...I think kids running around getting hurt, yelling, playing games and crying. However, I keep forgetting they aren't the little kids I remember, most are headed towards their pre-teen years and it makes me feel old!

We had a great time playing The Beatles Rockband, such a fun game, but I stick to vocals and drums.....I am no good on the guitar.

Happy Friday! Have a great weekend! :)

Keepin' It Real.

I have had tons of questions from people wanting to start a blog but don't know  what to blog about. & my answer to you is make your little piece on the internet even if you have a reader or two, it's simply an outlet where you share what YOU want.It can be anything from fashion to life to food and relationships. Everything slowly but surely will make it's obvious path to what you love to blog about. Take a chance...why not? 

To start off, I love love the shorts I am wearing. I could literally wear them with anything and everything. From bright colors to dark. Blazers or tanks...the list goes on but most of all they are comfy. Now we know that I am all about being comfy. I know, I know "Beauty is pain" but I rather save those for the there-is-literally-no-other-way-but-pain option. 

Simple sheer shirt with some linen shorts and I am ready to go. :)
