Ladybugs & Coral

So I went to Houston for Spring Break last week to visit my family and overall it was a really nice trip. There was a serious family emergency followed by a hospital trip, but things are fine now and we all still managed to have a nice spring break together.



1. Gap Shrunken Boyfriend Ladybug Printed Shirt - $54.95
2. Sleek Blush by 3 in 'Lace' - $12.49
3. MAC Powder Blush in 'Lovecloud' - $14 at a Cosmetics Company Store Outlet (I think this was a limited edition color from the Tres Cheek collection)
4. Laura Mercier Silk Creme Finish in 'Rose Ivory' - $43


These are a few of the things my parents bought me while I was home + some things I ordered before going out of town. I thought it was sort of funny how most of the things I got were either shades of coral or hot pink. I have another post centered around hot pink coming up.

I guess I know what colors I'll be wearing a lot of this spring and summer!

here's a few photos of me wearing my new top & coral-y makeup

September Wishlist

This week in north Texas it's been surprisingly cool. The lows have been in the 60s and highs in the low 80s. If you live in Texas you know that this normally doesn't start happening until after Halloween. I've already bought my stockpile of Bath & Body Works fall scented hand soaps and candles in anticipation for the cooler weather. I'm ready for Halloween and Thanksgiving!

I'm already looking forward to making the fb invites for our annual pre-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Dinner that I normally host for all our close friends. This will be the 6th (I think?) year we've done it. Everyone brings a classic (or not so classic) Thanksgiving dish and we all sit down and talk and eat delicious food. It's always fun and it's a nice way to see everyone even if we don't live as closely as we all used to. I secretly hope that we'll continue the tradition even as we all move away and have kids and separate lives. It seems like a really nice way to keep in touch with one another.

So here's my wishlist for this month! I've already bought the green cords from Gap, haha oops--guess it doesn't really count anymore. I'm hoping they fit since ordering pants online seems sort of like a crapshoot.

Are there any cooler weather items you have your eye on already?

Summer Ensembles: Neon Equestrian

top - dorothy perkins // shorts - gap // shoes - asos // earrings - amazon // bracelet - UO

This is my little ode to the neon trend & Texas. I'm not overly fond of riding horses (I'm actually awful at it) but I really love interacting with them/ looking at them. Luckily, living in Denton (or most of Texas really) you see horses fairly often as it's close to a lot of ranches and farming communities. The back way I take to my aunt's house is full of wide open fields and plenty of fences with horses and little lakes behind them.

I recently bought a pair of cheap knock-offs of those earrings at Forever 21 (they didn't have them online, but I found them pretty easily at the store) and I've been pairing them with EVERYTHING. They're a little bit whimsical and something that makes me feel happy when I'm wearing one of my boring babysitting outfits (v neck tee and torn up shorts).

Are there certain things you wear to keep yourself from going crazy at school or work?
