why am i so squinty?

What I'm wearing:
*Forever 21 Printed Tunic
*anthropologie "Mint Drop" Necklace
*TOMS Canvas Wedges in Red

Yes, I am still obsessed with these wedges. I actually bought two more pairs, because whenever I find heels that I can walk in comfortably, I will stock up. (Picked up the navy/white stripe and the coral.)

This printed tunic is definitely one of my favorite things to wear. (See how I wore it last year here, with the same necklace!) I love that it's a little slouchy, and shows leg but is covered up on top. I actually "borrowed" (aka stole) this from my sister, and she took it back, but with some bargaining I convinced her to let me wear it again. 

So... my battery charger for my camera may have taken a little detour to Atlanta by accident, so I won't be able to take real photos for awhile, but hopefully I will get it back soon!

Tie One On (Again)

What I'm wearing:
*anthropologie "Curated Tee" in Navy Polka Dot
*Gap "Paper Bag Waist Shorts" in Button
*Enzo Angiolini "Maylie Peep Toe Pump" in Yellow Croc Patent
*anthropologie Flower Clip

Back to real life after a great holiday weekend away from the city! The weather was actually better than I expected, and Montauk was absolutely beautiful. Had a lovely time with some girlfriends, but I think I actually need another long weekend to recover from my long weekend.

I'm definitely obsessed with shorts this season. It's gotten warm enough that I can't stand wearing pants or leggings of any kind. Not only have I not installed the A/C in my apartment yet, but it is too hot to be walking around the city with my legs covered. So it's shorts, dresses, and skirts from now on. And these Gap shorts are a favorite of mine. I have them in two colors and I want more!

Fried Eggs

What I'm wearing:
*Diane von Furstenberg "Celosa" Wrap Dress in Large Wildflower Yellow
*Dolce Vita "Jacquie Lalo" Clog Sandals in Cognac

Yesterday was one of those days when I got dressed, walked outside, and came right back in because I wasn't dressed appropriately for the weather. It was too warm! I definitely wasn't complaining, and I walked right back up those three flights of stairs to change into this wrap dress. I've always loved the print of this wrap dress because it looks like "fried eggs" to me.

I haven't worn my DVF wraps in a while, I just haven't reached for them, and wearing this dress reminded me all over again how much I love Diane von Furstenberg! On this particular wrap, I really love the neckline, the pleating, and the pockets. I just feel very summery wearing it, which makes me happy. Even if it's not quite Memorial Day yet.

I am looking forward to the long holiday weekend. Tomorrow is a half day, and then I'll be headed to Montauk to spend some quality time at the beach (hopefully, depending on the weather) with some girlfriends! And work on my tan some more. Can't wait! =)

Fast Cars & Freedom

This past weekend I traveled to North Carolina to visit some of my sorority sisters, and to attend the NASCAR Spring All-Star Race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway! It was my first NASCAR experience ever, and I have to say that it was such a great time, and I definitely want to go back!! I'm not really into NASCAR, but if there is one thing I'm into, it's tailgating. I don't really get a chance to do that in NY very often, and it always reminds me of college. And what did I wear during this all-day event?

What I'm wearing:
*Theory "Lorrie" Striped Silk Tank
*H&M Destroyed Denim Shorts (similar here)
*Rainbow Narrow-Strap Flip Flops in White
*Target Sunglasses (similar here)
*Forever 21 Reading Glasses Necklace

Yes, that is me shotgunning a beer.

The race! I picked a random driver to root for and he came in last! Boo! (Jamie McMurray) There goes my dollar.

What I'm wearing:

*Tibi "Isabella" Dress in Red Multi

*TOMS Canvas Wedges in Red

*Forever 21 Scalloped Purse

This ruffle dress has been my go to fun warm weather dress lately! (I wore it in Aruba as well.) The weather has not been that great in NYC right now (it's still pretty icky out right now) so it was so lovely to get some sun. 

Here I am with my friends E & E after having lunch the day after the race. (Although I probably didn't need to eat anything because I had Cook-Out in the middle of the night on the way back.) One huge thing I miss about the South is the barbecue!!! I had such a great time this weekend, I definitely need to go back!

Still Got Tonight

What I'm wearing:
*H&M Blue/white Striped Tank
*H&M Pleated Knit Skirt (similar here)
*anthropologie Lift-Off Jacket (similar here)
*Jeffrey Campbell Oxford Flats (similar here)
*Vintage Kissing Mice Belt

This finicky weather is really getting on my nerves. Not only am I constantly paranoid about getting stuck in a downpour (I broke my umbrella and haven't replaced it yet), I never know what to wear in the morning. I can be comfortable outside and absolutely freezing in the office. Or the other way around. The good thing about going outside to snap a photo of my outfit means that I can gauge if I dressed correctly for the weather.

I wish I took a photo of the back of this top. It has buttons going down, and an uneven hem.

I've been wanting a pleated skirt for awhile but didn't want to spend too much. Found this jersey knit one for $17 at H&M. Also unearthed my oxfords that I got a year ago and only wore a few times. I am still trying to break them in! They are totally cutting up my feet today, ow.

I'm headed to Charlotte, NC tomorrow night, can't wait! =) Visiting some girlfriends and going to NASCAR! I've never been, not sure what to expect but I'm sure beer (and fun) will be involved. Now if only I knew what to pack...
