secret garden

Outfit Details:
tank top: Walmart
skirt: Target, Merona brand
shoes: Old Navy
bracelet: shop in Maine
sunglasses: random kiosk
Phew! I just got back from a crazy week! Took a bus to NYC, flew to San Diego, took a train to LA, flew back to NYC and then another bus back to Ithaca. It was an amazing time but I am exhausted! I guess it doesn't help that all we did was eat and drink and hardly sleep, right? Those photos will be coming shortly but first I wanted to show you guys my new pink skirt! 

Greg and I were both off one night so we decided to go out for Thai food and I convinced him to take some pictures. The background is a parking lot where the mayor of Ithaca has a reserved spot but decided to use it as a little garden with benches instead...sooo Ithaca! It's a pretty oasis in the otherwise concrete downtown.

The skirt is a new purchase and I have worn it a few times already. I love the color but I am most obsessed with how comfy it is! I might go back and grab it in some more colors... how cute would it be with tights and boots for the fall/winter? My favorite way to style it so far is with a chambray shirt. I've had the top for a while but it's my first time wearing it, can you believe it's from Walmart? I thought the twist in the back was so perfect.







Not really sure what's going on with my photos recently, they are getting very pixelated when I add them to my blog posts...any techies out there willing to help this noob? Stay tuned for photos from California!

fancy eggs

Just a quick post today on a morning favorite of ours...breakfast burritos! Eggs in any shape or form are a go-to item for us and I just couldn't resist snapping a few pics of how pretty and colorful these wraps turned out. There's no recipe because it's just scrambled eggs with diced veggies and cheese, laid on a tortilla and smothered in salsa. They didn't look so hot when we rolled them up so I will spare you those images. They are delish and fast! 
 
Hope I made you hungry! Don't worry, we will be back to our scheduled broadcasting with outfit posts very soon. Think pink skirts and striped shirts...

york street

Outfit Details:
t-shirt: Old Navy
shirt: Urban Outfitters, Staring at Stars brand
strappy wedges: Kohl's, Croft & Barrow brand
necklace: American Eagle
tote bag: Silk Oak
sunglasses: random kiosk

I'm finally back with a straight outfit post! I always take a lot of pics on trips but it is hard to remember and to squeeze in a photoshoot when you are running around with people who don't have blogs. I am really excited about this post because the photos turned out just as I had imagined. The light was pretty that day and the backgrounds were all nice surprises that we stumbled upon after eating brunch at one of our favorite restaurants.

The shirt-tucked-into-a-skirt has become my new go-to outfit on days off this summer. I love how flattering it can be and that it's so much dressier than shorts -- but not fancy. I blame my obsession on style blogs for making me pine over skirts all winter.

We walked around to a little street called York Street behind the restaurant and found this pathway to a creek. It was a small, quiet area that I had never been to and the greens of the trees were beautiful. 


I spent a while on my hair this morning and was happy how it turned out very messy-curly. I scrunched my hair with a new curly product and then when it was dry I added some spirals with my curling iron. Every day is an adventure when you have a blonde, lion's mane!



I have a few other posts ready to come at you soon so stay tuned!
