California Vlog!

I finally got around to filming another video on my YouTube channel :) I recently went on a quick extended weekend vacay to California where I stayed in Santa Monica and had fun in the sun.

Instarecap + Life

I seriously cannot stop listening to my favorite people "Data Romance" and their fabulous CD "Other".

I've been having the weirdest time trying to balance work + life when I just want to go home and sleep at the end of the day; let's not even talk about how it takes me an hour to an hour and a half to go to work and the same time to come home...and that's with me living in the city. Born and raised in Chicago - whoopwhoop! And yes, the actual city. 

Anyways, I've been in a lingering hiatus from updating my blog but I do update randomly but more frequently on Instagram. I'm a photo girl anyways and it's just easy to snap, upload and keep my day going. 

Getting back into the swing of things is hard, but I have some exciting projects for this blog coming up and life in general seems to be taking unexpected twists and turns. So here's a little quick instarecap into what's been up. 

If you want the synopsis without reading the end: shopping & eating.

From left to right:

1// Got new sunnies from UrbanOutfitters

2//Possibly my all time favorite boots that are filling the void of the Chloe's that I STILL WANT

3//My awesome Nike Dunk Sky Hi's that I got as a gift from da' best person eva

4//I bit the bullet and bought a Wildfox sweater and I'm not going to even think about the price...(yeah, even the sale price hurt a bit)

5//Before I bought the blue skeleton Wildfox sweater, I bought a fake Wildfox sweater lookalike (shipping was a bitch, and I definitely got it for $20)

6//New lipstick from MAC always make me so happy, it's the same one from my last post

7//Finally tried the Blue Print juice and I'm 50/50 about it - it did make me want to buy a juicer and just throw healthy looking things in there...worth the $10? NO

8//Scored 2 sweet UNIF tees at UO on sale from $70 t0 $20 ea. My love for UNIF has no limit.

9//I've been eyeing this hologram styled clutch by Deena & Ozzy since it hit the store but I forgot about it, went shopping and found it for $6 - it's online for a little bit more here

10//F21 pants that feel like PJs and only cost me $3 were such a great purchase - and yeah, I wore them to work

11//Wicker Park day dates that involve margaritas are the best kind

12// I FUCKING LOVE FROYO, OK? COOL

Can't Stop, Won't Stop

Let's face it...I buy a lot of sh*t and I haven't posted on here in a while, so I thought I'd do a post on some of the things I've purchased recently that are my favorites. I have so much more to shoot/blog about and more items coming in the mail any day now, but we can save that for another time. I'll also try to style some of these pieces in real outfit of the days and such. For now, here are some of the items of my materialistic habits  - and they make me happy.

PS: Singing in the song actually starts at around the 18 second mark - enjoy!

30 Day Spending Freeze

Bonjour! After what seemed like midterm-week at work, I've had this "do-nothing-but-relax-and-lounge-at-home" way of life for the weekend. It has also given me the time to actually glance at all the shit in my room and realize that I do, in fact, have a shopping problem. It goes beyond the buying...because it's the act of me not wearing what I buy that bugs me. I get caught in such a dress-up routine that I forget about all the items I fell in love with and purchased. So, for the next 30 days, I plan on not buying any clothes/shoes/jewelry. There is only one exception for one item, and if I get it, I'll share. But, I thought it would be best to post this on here so that there's public pressure to follow my own set of rules. I've tried before and have failed, miserably. 

I'm starting tomorrow.

But, I will leave you with some bits and pieces I've recently purchased :P
