Feeling Tropical | OOTD

Totally feelin' these tropical pants I scored a couple of weeks ago! The material is so breezy and perfect for summa'time! The pants are pretty loud on their own so I decided to mute this outfit down with some basic colors. I need more tropical print items in my closet - stat! I also need a vacation.

Death Becomes Her

Hola! I finally got my hands on the Wildfox White Label Pfeiffer sweater about 2 months ago and thought that it was time to finally feature it on ma' blog. I can dress this bad boy up but decided to go for a super casual "comfy" throw-it-on-and-go look. This sweater is super baggy/oversized which makes for the perfectly awkward weather going on in Chicago. I also opted for this beautiful sky color instead of the black version because I wanted to step out of my zone a bit and am so happy with my decision. I made it slightly "less girly" by throwing on my cut-out pleather tights, Next time I wear it, I want to rock a dark vampy lip (like I did in an older blog post).

This is my 2nd Wildfox piece and I'm hooked - too bad my wallet isn't too fond of my latest obsession.

Warby Parker: Home Try-On Program

A couple of weeks ago I went to the Warby Parker site to select 5 glasses from their 'home try-on program'. You basically get to select 5 glasses you'd like to try and they send it to you for free (you only put your card info so that they can hold $1 to ship and then they take it out, so yep...ZERO dollars, FREE FREE FREE!) After 5 days, you send the bad boys back with the return label they kindly already have ready for you. I've been pretty familiar with the Warby brand and have wanted to get a couple pairs of glasses because of how inexpensive they are, but I wanted to try them on at first and see how they fit my face shape. I'm such a creature of habit with my wayfarer Rayban glasses, so this try-on was what was needed to freshen up my style a little. I decided to pair up super quick and causal (everyday) outfits around the glasses I chose. Underneath the pictures you can click on the style to see them on the site. Definitely going to be buying some from the 5 that I picked! Plus, for every pair that you buy, a pair is given to someone in need :)

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.
