Outfit: Tiki Party in Space

dress: thrifted Forever 21  belt: Forever 21  tights: ebay  shoes: Miss Bisou

Yesterday I dressed up for an impromptu "tiki party in space", complete with pulled pork burritos, rum and juice, and a hilarious game of Cards Against Humanity. It's been really nice not having to worry about homework, twenty-page research papers, and four hour long classes; just relaxing and hanging out with friends. I plan on enjoying this summer break as much as humanly possible!

Treat Yo Self

dress: Target  cardigan: Frenchi  tights: Target  shoes: Anarchic

I bought this dress last week on a "Treat Yo Self" day. If you watch the show Parks and Recreation, you probably know what I'm talking about. If you don't watch the show Parks and Recreation, you're missing out and you should probably go watch it right now. Basically, there's an episode where Tom and Donna have an annual "Treat Yo Self" day, where you indulge and pamper yourself and do whatever makes you happy, whether that means new clothes, massages, mimosas, or a Batman costume.
 Between finals, a two-week long cold, followed by a week of migraines, followed by an allergic reaction to new antibiotics (wheee!), it's been a rough month for me. It was really therapeutic to treat my self, and do what made me happy for a day. I really believe in self-care and paying attention to the little things that make you happy.

Little things about this outfit that make me happy: comfy new lace dress, glittery eyeshadow, wearing multiple shades of my favorite color, and my messy colorful hair.

Lovely Things

"Sweet me off my Feet" Dress from Modcloth
I love every little detail of this dress. Notice the layered collars, and how the top collar is cupcake-patterned lace! This is such an adorable, sugary-sweet dress.

Leather-bound Classics from Barnes & Noble
I was swooning over these last night at Barnes & Noble. They're beautifully designed, well-made, gorgeous books. I want to buy all of them!

I love this idea, and how awesome it looks!

Such a neat watch! This would be a fun project to try to make.
