Tank top- Mom’s closet, Jean shorts- DIY, Jacket- Urban Outfitters, Booties- thrifted

I feel like Memorial day is supposed to be filled with sunshine and barbecues, but all today has given me is the perfect movie-nap weather. Still I felt like being festive, dressing myself in red and white stripes with blue jeans. I think today I’ll finish some DIYs I’ve been working on. And hopefully tonight I’ll be celebrating the Miami Heat’s first win against the Boston Celtics. Sorry ‘bout it! ;)

Sorry I haven’t been showing my blog much love lately! It’s summer so it isn’t like I can blame it on being busy. Maybe I’m getting a little too comfortable living this carefree, I-ain’t-got-nothin’-to-do lifestyle. I would love to say it’s affected my shopping tendencies, but um…

So, I was overwhelmingly excited to see a Nasty Gal shipment in my mailbox today. I’ve been waiting on this pair of sneakers (Sam Edelman “Alexander” in nude, @ nastygal.com) for an entire, painful two days. The studs. Are perfect. The color. Is perfect. Happy dance!
~~Break it down now~~

Outfit of the day starring these bad girls coming soon.

Finally caved and bought the House of Harlow 1960 Sunburst necklace that I’ve been lusting over. I’m obsessed. Can’t wait to wear it to the wedding this June!

Next to Disney, weddings have to be the happiest environment. 
All the smiles and love make me go picture crazy.

The last wedding I went to was in May of 2010, and it was my cousin’s. 
The whole weekend was absolutely breathtaking. 

This is a picture I snapped of my beautiful grandparents at my cousin’s wedding. They have been together for 65 years, have had four children, and ten grandchildren. Such a genuine love, and my grandmother still looks smitten! 

I think that deserves some kind of award.  

Most of this outfit was thrifted/gifted. The studded purse is my most recent purchase and it’s from Urban Outfitters. The boots are Steve Madden’s “Blazeee.”

For dinner, Anthony took the night off cooking so I stepped into the kitchen.
I made a Caprese salad with grilled chicken.

Today was such a beautiful, sunny Miami day. All I wanted was to throw on some light colors and go out and enjoy it. I drove around running errands for a bit then came home and admired my backyard. Going away for school really makes you appreciate your permanent home.

The only thing that could make today any better is a Miami Heat win against the New York Knicks.
LET’S GO HEAT!

It’s finals week so I haven’t had any time to take outfit of the day pictures/make posts.
BUT! I’m going home in a week and I plan on making some major revisions to my blog and closet. 

Things to expect:
1.) a softer, summer-feel
2.) DIYs
3.) More frequent outfit of the day/dinner posts 

I pre-ordered a pair of Steve Madden “Deja Vu” ($129 @ SteveMadden.com) pumps back in February, and they finally came in today! It’s a little ridiculous how happy a package can make me.

Outfit of the day coming soon

Plaid top- Thrifted, Jeans- PacSun, Bootie wedges- lulus.com, Clutch- Aldo 

I dug up this plaid button down at a thrift store, bought it, then thought I would probably never wear it (I couldn’t try it on in the store, and it turned out to be HUGE). But tonight I really wanted to wear a comfy top, so I used a safety pin to cinch some fabric in the back and ended up really liking the way it fit. 

P.M. Picnic by Anthony Sariol:

ADORING this cotton dress ($68) and mint knit ($65) from nasty gal. 
They both remind me of the kind of outfits I crave after being at a beach or by a pool all day. Ugh, 22 days till Summer!
