Speed Demon

Hey ladies!
Okay, so yesterday was not the greatest day. Well it started GREAT! An awesome breakfast (yogurt, cut up granny smith apple, honey sunshine Kashi cereal, blackberry, wheat-germ homemade parfait YUM!) followed by a great gym session...then on my way driving back to school BLAM! I got a $294 speeding ticket, I wanted to cry, scream, yell and explode, but I just sat there patiently as the police officer wrote me up. This very expensive lesson that I learned yesterday was a wake up call of some sorts for me...I drive way too fast, I have a lead foot, period. So when I finally got back to school I was not in the best of spirits. However, one trip to Charlie O's with my friends and 2 $5.00 pitchers of pink Sangria later, I was feeling happy, light-hearted and...drunk? I know I shouldn't be posting about my intoxication (on the Internet?) but I needed to get loose and alleviate myself of some tension, and I am 21 so it is perfectly legal, so I will continue talking about this. My liquid courage was the perfect motivator and at the bar I asked my friend to formal, score! So, now I have formal shoes, a formal date, and now I need a formal dress (okay, okay, I kind of have one, but there's always room for improvement and new ideas right?).

Today, despite a massive hangover, I am feeling pretty good. I had a great breakfast, drove below 40mph all the way to school listening to OAR and the Pussycat Dolls (weird combination right?) and I feel pretty good about life. This is my outfit: comfortable and casual, perfect for the chilly yet sunny Rhode Island day.

1. American Eagle plaid flannel long sleeve button down (gifted from Mom)
2. BASS skinny leg "trouser" jeans
3. Minnetonka moccasins
4. Skinny gold headband (from Aldo Accessories)

Again sorry for the horrible quality pictures! I do have a camera, but when I do self-timer shots they look horrible and do not get my whole outfit anyway. I need my roommates to take my pictures but they sleep in so late (lazy bums!), or actually...I just wake up entirely too early. Who goes to sleep drunk off sangria and 2am and wakes up (internal alarm clock) at 7am? This girl right here!

I hope everyone is having a great Monday so far. Appreciate the sunshine and look for the small things in life to make you happy, that's what I am doing! Can you guys believe there are only 2 more weeks of classes left?!?!

I Dream in Jean-y

Good Morning! How is every one's day going so far? Mine is great: the sun is shining, the birds are chirping and my mind keeps drifting back to the Kid Cudi concert I went to last night! It was a great concert, and I must admit although I am not the biggest Cudi fan, he is a great performer with amazing stage presence. I went with my roommates and one of my roommates friends from home (and a ton of her school friends!) In total there were about 25 of us and that always makes for a great time. Sadly, I do not have an outfit post from the concert last night because we weren't allowed to bring cameras in, why I do not know! I definitely wouldn't have gotten a close up of the Kid because I was way up in the nosebleeds but still I wish I had some photos to remember the night. I guess I will just focus on my outfit today and what I am wearing.

I wanted to wear jeans today, but I was in more of a comfy leggings type of mood so I wore my favorite stretchy pair from Forever21, you know the one that aren't see through, GOTTA LOVE THOSE! On top I wore my relatively new Jean long sleeve button down from Bass Outfitters, which is a cool mix between J. Crew and L.L. Bean. It is a really relaxed, and laid back brand that has special statement pieces every season, this season it is all about embellished sweaters and JEAN SHIRTS! I also decided to wear my GAP jean ballet flats with ruffle detailing, which are cute and girly but still sophisticated and classy. While I usually don't wear oversize shirts and leggings without a cinched waist, it just felt right to let the shirt flow today. When I left the house I also decided to put on an over sized black waffle sweater from the GAP (not pictured) with a gold headband (flea-market find & also not pictured). Sorry for the picture mishap, I caught my roomie E earlier in the morning, begged her to take my picture and didn't think to add the last bits of the outfit until I ran out of the house.

My hair is straightened today! I decided to give it a little something extra, but the makeup is natural and basically the same as always. I keep experimenting with new eyeliners and need to find something that glides on smooth (brown color only), but been having trouble finding something. I have tried Pixi, ELF, Revlon, Bonnebelle, and nothing seems to be working out for me, any suggestions? I would really appreciate any suggestions.
