Errands in suburbia

Running my last few errands before the big move.. My sister saw this outfit and said it was "shabby chic" ..... so here you have it. Me and my mom's Prius about to head out for a few things. How surburban of me. Ahh I'm going to miss living at home!

Mastering french braiding and selfie photography





























Well, it wasn't rocket science learning how to french-braid, but photographing my own turned out to be much more difficult to master. I spent the previous 21 years of my life without ever learning how to french braid my own bangs. I tried a couple times and failed miserably, and gave up after that. I don't know what I found so difficult about it now, because I finally sat myself down with a YouTube tutorial and figured it all out. Turns out, it wasn't rocket science after all.

























Here's the video I watched that helped me do my first few braids. It's an adorable new mom whose cats keep meowing in the background, but nonetheless a very good braider and explainer.

And now, some miserably failed selfies. Enjoy.


Oh hey, forehead!

Looking forlornly down my own top.

Closer, but more a macro shot of my pores and sunspots...

Did I tell you I got new earrings? Also, what's up, armpit?


Har har. Happy Tuesday tomorrow!!

First thing's first...

Well, I got the job! Looks like I will be relocating to New York City in a couple of weeks.. So naturally, I started with the most important part of going to a new place. NEW SHOES! I blame my mother for my constant need for new footwear.. Anyway, here are my three newest obsessions for my feet.




























Found these at Macy's for just $30! Rampage. Skirt: Ruche

























I finally got these from Ruche!! (pants - Zara) They've been on my wishlist forever.. Only $36.99


























The beauties above are also from Macy's, c/o Vince Camuto and bought during the Memorial Day Sale for a STEAL! :) :) :)

More updates on my pre-moving shopping/relocation craziness coming soon!
