Less is More

Dress: BCBGMAXAZRIA (here)** Blazer: Zara (recent) ** Shoes: Zara ** Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs ** Jewelry: Vince Camuto and other unknown designers **

I really debated buying this dress, but I am so glad I did.  I AM IN LOVE!  It's so simple and beautiful, and I love the way it flows when I walk :)  No buyers remorse here! And I scored these color-block shoes at Zara for super cheap. Thank god for their summer sale! I don't think I have a whole lot in my closet to wear with them, but I'm sure I'll figure something out.

Anyways, it is a short week this week.  My internship office is closed Wed-Fri, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little depressed about it.  I wish I could be there everyday, but I might as well enjoy it.  I think I'll go to the beach, do a little shopping and maybe attend a BBQ.  I also am dying to see the new Katy Perry movie.  I love her!  I saw Magic Mike this past weekend and let me tell you, it did not disappoint ladies! If you haven't seen it, GO SEE IT!  I don't usually get obsessed with celebrities, but I am now obsessed with Channing Tatum (obsessed is an understatement).  He is beautiful! I've already watched every YouTube video possible of him.  Cant. Get. Enough.

Well, I'm starting to ramble, so I hope everyone has a great fourth of July!

Retro

Dress: Jcrew (similar here) ** Blazer: Zara ** Shoes: Steven ** Hat: Gap (here) ** Jewelry: Unknown designer **

Yay for clear and not blurry pictures.  Finally! I broke down and asked my roommates to take pics.  The self-timer and I were not getting along.  Nothing is really new here.  It's pretty much the same thing, consisting of internship, work, internship, work but I love it! There was one thing that made my week, though which was that the Zara summer sale started!! Ah, so exciting!  I was online right at midnight and I got some pretty great deals :)  I plan on making a trip to every Zara store in LA to make sure I don't miss anything.  Obsessed? Maybe.  Also, My roommate and I are supposed to explore the West Hollywood nightlife this weekend so I'm pretty excited about that!  I have a vision in my head of it being just like the show The Hills, but I'm sure it unfortunately won't be as glamorous haha.

Anyways, hope everyone has a great weekend!

Party Pants

Outfit: Zara (all recent) ** Jewelry: Vince Camuto, Forever21 ** Belt: Gap **


Sorry for the semi-blurry pics.  I don't know how to work my camera..?  Anyways, life is good right now, busy but good. I can't get enough of Zara and word on the street is their summer sale starts this week! Woohoo! I know what I'll be doing this weekend!  I'm missing home a lot, especially my baby (my dog).  I don't even remember what it feels like to have a dog anymore! I am excited right now because my best friend just bought a ticket to come visit in two weeks and I am seriously counting down the days! I wish she could bring my dog.....


Hope everyone is having a great day!

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to post!  I haven't had anyone to take my pics, so I finally just decided to experiment with the self timer.  As you can see, I'm not the best as using the self timer and no matter how hard I try, I can never get the right angle! But desperate times call for desperate measures.  I think I'm going to have to break down and ask one of my roommates to start taking them.  They will probably thing I'm a weirdo, but oh well.  Anyways,  LA is treating me well so far.  I miss my friends and dog like crazy, but I'm still enjoying myself.  My internship just keeps getting better and better everyday.  I'm obsessed.  I finally got a job at a BCBG store, so its pretty much BCBG seven days a week!

Hope everyone is having a good day!  And I'll try and be better about posting, since I've really slacked in the last week.

Gingham Over Gingham

Top: Jcrew (old) (similar here) ** Dress: Gap (here) ** Shoes: Steven (similar here) ** Bag: Steve Madden ** Jewelry: Jcrew, Vince Camuto **

I'm running out of outfit pics that I took before I left! This is one of the last ones, and I love this pink gingham dress. I got it at a really good price, so that always helps too :)  I think I'm going to have to set my camera on a ledge, put on the self timer and run in front and pose really quick lol.  That will be interesting....

Hope everyone has a nice weekend!

First Day

Dress and Blazer: BCBGMAXAZRIA (dress here) ** Shoes: Dolce Vita ** Jewelry: Forever21, Vince Camuto ** Handbag: Michael by Michael Kors (here in other colors)**

I took these pictures before I left, but this is what I ended up wearing yesterday to the first day of my internship! I was really nervous to start, but everything went smoothly.  I had so much fun, and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world getting this internship! I never want to leave!

Have a great day!

Weekend Wear

Denim top: Jcrew (here, similar here and love this one) ** White jeans: Ann Taylor (similar here) ** Jewelry: Jcrew ** Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs ** Shoes: Sperrys (here) **

I made it to California safe!  The trip has been a little overwhelming so far.  My family left yesterday and now I'm left in LA to fend for myself.  It's weird being left in the middle of a huge city and not knowing anyone or your way around.  It is definitely a new adventure! I'm going to go out and do a little exploring today and probably do a little more shopping!  I already did some damage at Zara :) (new Zara shoes pictured above)  Having a Zara eight minutes from my apartment is a dangerous thing...The weather is beautiful right now, and I also plan on making many trips to the pool and/or beach!  


I drove by where I will be interning out this summer and it looks so cute! (pictured above) I'm so excited! It looks like a little beach house.  I start tomorrow, so lets hope all goes well.   

Also, Before I left, my wonderful BCBG co-workers, who I will miss more than anything, and I all went out to dinner to say our goodbyes.  It was sad, but we had so much fun as always! I'm going to miss them so much!!

Anyways, have a great Sunday!
