Alexander Wang inspired bag from Zara? Uhh yes please, my love for Zara continues, I seriously hope this bag was bought recently. I might just have to go back to Zara tommorow to see if its there.

Incognito chic

Saw these in a magazine today, thought they were pretty damn cool. Usb Calvin Klein sunglasses.
Also I just watched the sex and the city movie last night, pretty late seeing it, I know haha, but to be honest I have never really watched the show, Im going to start watching reruns though because I really liked the movie =)

Adding To My Closet

So I thought Id show you a few of my new purchases that I bought from H&M the other day:

Leopard print scarf ;)

Oversize-ish long black sweater, looks pretty basic but its actually quite loosely knit and transparent when put on, I'll have to find something nice to wear underneath it.
Observe attempt at showing transparency =)
A little bit of sequins.. I quite liked this when I tryed it on, but now Im having a few second thoughts, opinions?

Also I recently heard some good news that Pamela Love, creator of our beloved claw cuff is going to creating a less expensive line of jewelery, yay! Although the claw cuff is still out of reach, Im hoping she will come up with some equally awesome pieces!

Update

Hello all, sorry for my little break, I've been busy trying to find a job, enjoying the sunshine and spending money in the process. Sigh. I got a few cute things at H&M, I'll have to show you within the next couple of days. Im also a little bummed cause the cute faux fur vest I saw at Zara a couple of weeks ago was no longer there.. Im hoping they will we restock it or get another similar one in, we only have two Zara's though so the good stuff goes pretty fast. I also saw a really cute jacket, kind of like suede on the outside, and a super soft lining inside, in a chocolate brown colour =)

Oh yeah and I was just looking on Sam Edelman's website and guess what!?

The Zoe boot (Aka Balenciaga look-alike) is coming back in stock for the fall because its been so popular! Yay! No more paying tons on ebay folks, although they probably will charge more than they originally did.

PS- I dont know about you but Im going to have an amazingly difficult time picking out boots for fall, I've already seen so many that I want.

Shopping Trip: BTS

Im starting to look around at what's all out there for my back to school must haves. I was thinking that I would try to write a list, I try to do that every year but I find it really difficult since I can never narrow things down enough, oops =) I went to Zara today, I have a feeling Im really going to love Zara this fall, Im already loving it so far and they dont even have all their fall stuff in yet. So much I could get from there, jackets all mostly 99.99 and under, blazers also 99.99 and under (can't decide which colour I should go for though...) Also they had lots of cute shoes,boots and tops. This is why I will soon be broke haha.

Too bad Zara didnt have more on their website, but this is a small example of the awesomeness:
Jacket!! ^
Im starting to love the leopard print even though I never used to like it much, especially on jackets.

My mom would think this is so typical of me, absolutely no colour, but I cant help it when the outfits look like this, simple yet chic =)
Most definitely need a faux fur vest, a la MKA olsen they always look so fab, although Im pretty sure the fur they wear is real and mine will most def not be.

PS- so excited for Rodarte for Target!! Are you?

Shoe Obsessed Pt.1

My obsession with shoes is only growing stronger everyday, I think fall is even worse because I love boots =) I went into Browns shoes today, which I dont usually do because they have some pretty pricey shoes and I figure why torture myself with $1000 boots? but today I decided I would go in and I didnt even end up paying much attention to the boots. I saw these "Balmain inspired" sandals, and just had to share because in person they look much better than most of the other versions out there, such as the Aldo version. My only thing now is being able to go longer distances in heels, some of mine are pretty comfy but for the most part I cant last a day long shopping trip in heels, how do people do it!?

$178^

$148

I never even saw these ones in the store but noticed them online, decent version of the YSL cage's I thought, regular $148 on sale for $62.98

Back =)

Hello all, Im back from my lovely relaxing vacation, it was really quite perfect. The weather couldn't have been better, everyday was about 36-39 absolutely perfect for floating on a lake all day =) The weather here at home has been quite hot too, it's just sad I can longer dive into refreshing water.

I dont know about you guys, but I cant believe its already August and I only have a month left until school starts, nooo! The only positive thing I can relate with that is the obvious back to school shopping, I swear Im going to be doing "back to school shopping" even when Im no longer in school, I just love it. The only downer on that is Im still unemployed and quickly running out of money. Im already in debt with purchases I've already bought in my mind before even seeing half of the stuff out there!

I really hardly took any photos because there wasn't much going on, I was veryy very lazy! But this is a little bit of the "wildlife" that I saw =) My mom saw a bear in our backyard but I missed it, I was super bummed about that.

This guy looks really evil, but it's only because I had flash on, and since we just saw him on the side of the road I didn't have time to turn it off, but he really looked cute.The sun just looked really pretty this day.This little guy was giving me a really hard time, whenever I saw him come around I never had my camera, this time I had to run inside and come back out, so I still didn't get the greatest photo of him but I got him nonetheless.!
We first discovered him just hanging out inside the cupholder of one of our floaty chairs.

So what have you guys been up to so far this summer?

ttfn

So tommorow is finally my departure day off to our cabin, the weather is supposed to be superrrr hot which is perfect, despite a forest fire going a few hours away. It threatens to ruin our nice blue sky and outdoorsy smell, I'll survive, but hopefully they can get that under raps. Im feeling totally disorganized right now too, typical me, leave everything to the last minute. You would think I would learn my lesson one of these times. Im not sure if I'll get a chance to post, there is only a slight possibility that I can bumb internet off a nearby resident, but I thought I saw an internet cafe not too far away so we'll see =) otherwise I'll probably be back about the 1st of August.

Anywayss have you all heard the news that Balmain is extending to Acc's?

"Balmain, a hot ready-to-wear brand, is flirting with the handbag business. Retailers in Paris for the pre-collections are being shown about a half dozen styles, including black leather messenger bags pavéd with crystals or studs, and a fringed, rock ’n’ roll number with silver hardware."-WWD

Umm omg, are they trying to torture me? Studs, rock'n'roll? silver hardware? I can already tell Im going to want this, and knowing Balmain completely out of price range =( Whatever, one can daydream by staring at the lovely photos, I still cannot wait to see the previews! but in the mean time Im really loving Alexander Wang's fall bags which seem to be selling out everywhere, especially that studded bottom one, still out of my unemployed price range, but it is slightly more possible.

What do you guys think of this colour? It's kind of different I like how it looks online, it would be interesting to see in person, perhaps I could inspect one if someone would just send it to my mailbox =)

post again soon, xox R =)

Broke and Unemployed

Two words I hate the sound of, neither of them have happened quite yet, but Im really dreading the day they come true. My last day of work is this week, and soon after no money will follow! Lol! I need a job new job asap =(

My mind is completely thinking of fall clothing now, even though I dont want summer and no jackets to end, Im still very excited for the fall clothing, but I am slightly depressed that I may have no money to buy stuff.. We will see, I already have a list going of what items I want...
<_<

Anywayss, I also have this other predicament of what to do with my jewellery, since I do not have enough door knobs to hang my necklaces on and my jewellery box is overflowing. Im thinking just a shallow bowl for my rings, possible UO type stand for my bracelets, but necklaces Im still really unsure about because most of the ones I've seen are not long enough for my necklaces, or the ones I have seen are incredibly ugly, why is this? I like the tree one from UO, but even that wasn't quite long enough, plus I think it contains lead or something not good for you.

And ty guys for the music tips, Im going to be stocking up my ipod the next couple of days, I've already been listening to some of your suggestions =) Oh yeahh and Im going to see Jason Mraz in Sept, yayyy! =)

PS- I totally saw a Balenciaga short sleeve jacket thing at Winners!!! Yeah Winners, honestly who knew? $1500- total steal, I know ;)

Electric Feel

I found these awesome old photos of Gemma Ward in Vogue UK from 2004 on a website, foto decadent and completely fell in love. Where is Gemma at these days anyway?

Tonight I went to this kind of odd dance show..but there was a couple of amazing performances by these contortionists, holy crap they are amazing, its like someone removed their spines and they can just bend in every shape and form!

Also since Im going away to my cabin in a little over a week Im on the search for some catchy summer tunes, if anyone has any suggestions, stuff that you love to listen to in the summertime or whenever, please share! =)

The Dark Side

I saw this photo on stockholm streetstyle, totally love it, dark red hair, killer ring, all black outfit with awesome belt. Perfection =)

Swim Time

Im going away soon to our cabin on the lake, so I've been wanting to find a new swimsuit, which is pretty annoying haha. I always find it difficult to find the right suit, there are a couple of brands that I like the look of, one being Vitamin A, I love the very slight shimmer the material has. The only problem is, Im not sure if the swimsuits are meant for people with no ass at all or what, but they totally do not cover my butt lol! I also like the look of a few Insight suits, I couldn't find pictures of the ones I liked, but I'll show you a few others I found online, they also have a slight shimmer to their material.

photos found from a google search..

Other than thinking about swimsuits, I can't help but already plan ahead for fall, I almost annoy myself because it's not like I want summer to end, and then have to go back to school, ugh. I blame it on the early fashion shows, magainzes and stores! It happens to me every year!

Summer Brights

I don't know what it is, but lately I've been super attracted to hot pink and all shades of orange, which are usually near the very bottom on the list of my favorite colors. When I saw Blake Lively wearing this, I really loved the simple hot pink Michael Kors dress. I bought a hot pink shirt yesterday =P And an orange the day before haha, all those tangerine tints too, are suddenly drawing me in!
