Trespassing
This is one of my favorite outfits that I've worn recently. It's super comfortable and involves chambray and polka-dots, can it get any better than that? Plus, I scored these wedges from H&M for only $20. I'll be stomping around town in them all summer long. Now if only it was safe to drive with wedges.
(chambray shirt dress [remixed], polka-dot dress, wedges h&m, belt delia's)
This time my outfit is almost completely from H&M. How did this happen? I promise I didn't plan it and it just came together like this. I also apologize for my mess of a hair do. I was running out of the house with my trusty tripod and just quickly clipped up my hair without thinking. It's the summer anyway, so all that matters recently is that I'm cool and that I can feel the occasional breeze hit the back of my neck. :)
I decided to trespass the grounds of a random company warehouse in my town. I remember passing by it as I was taking the train home from NYC the other day and I made a mental note to take some outfit shots here. I thought it would be deserted since it was close to the end of the average work day. Unfortunately, there were still some stragglers (aka over achievers who work over time) and I had an awkward encounter with a man who was taking the garbage out to the dumpsters.
Well I've got a lot of work to get done tonight so I better hop to it. Sorry for the picture-heavy post. Sometimes my indecision gets the better of me and instead of having to pick it's easier posting them all. :)
My ancient, white, mini-van (yes, i drive a mini-van and it's sexy as hell) looks right at home with all the trucks and construction equipment, don't you think?

Over the Brooklyn Bridge
So I'm pretty much cured from my sickness. It's nice waking up without a sore throat and a clear nose in which I can breathe out of. It's never fun being sick when it's beautiful outside and too hot in your room.

So I definitely didn't realize until just now that my whole entire outfit (excluding the flats) is from Forever 21. I tried keeping the outfit pretty simple. My best guy friend dropped me off in the city since he was heading over for an interview and I got a chance to have lunch with my friend Monisha. She snapped a few shots of my outfit (my mom told me not to wear any dresses or skirts since I would be wandering around the city alone after grabbing lunch - after the cat calls and number offerings after my last trip, i obliged). I snapped a shot of her business outfit as well. :)
I love that you can see the Brooklyn Bridge behind us. Her internship office has a park area right near it with the perfect view. It's also full of pigeons that attack you in the hopes of obtaining food.

Sponsor Feature: Aimi Boutique
I'd like to introduce you guys to one of my sponsors, Aimi Boutique! Aimi is one of the sweetest girls and her store is full of cheap, unique, and adorable products! There's various accessories, clothes, and shoes that I just want to get my hands on. When I first discovered Aimi Boutique through Jasmine (the Robot Pocket Watch necklace was featured on one of our dynamic duo posts), I automatically fell in love with everything else. I was looking for a cute alternative to a watch at the time since I was sick of relying on my cell phone...so that little necklace came along just in time!
How gorgeous is this Calico Dress? I'm in love with deep v-necks recently and that calico pattern is adorable. Every time I think of the word calico I always think of the Little House on the Prairie series...strange, I know. I used to adore those books with all my heart.
I've actually been eying the Boat Collar Striped Top in the picture above. I adore the soft colors against the darker gray and it looks like the perfect top to wear for a comfortable day inside with a cup of hot tea with spoonfuls of honey. :) I've been debating for the past week whether or not to break my shopping ban to get it.
PSST! Don't forget to use the 10% off code on your purchase: mrz2010

SICK (NASTY)
So for a couple days I had a sore throat and a horrible cough. Silly little me thought that it'd eventually go away by itself because my body is awesome and is a natural germ killer. I finally came out of denial yesterday and accepted the fact that I was sick and popped some tylenol. I had to work 2-10 while at my worst and I greeted customers with my sexy, sick voice. :P
I'm slowly feeling better though so I'll be back to normal by tomorrow (thank god - I have a meeting to go to from 10-4!) . I'll also get back to all your lovely comments tonight and catch up with you bloggers.

I know you guys love how my camera bag is in my pictures. Great accessory, no? I had one of my friends take my picture this time as well. We went hiking through a nearby reservoir and we expected to see this huge, gorgeous lake. Unfortunately, it wasn't as huge as we thought, but it was still a nice hike (in my fabulous hiking shoes).
I better go take a nap so I'll heal faster. Gonna go pop those pills! :)
p.s. one of my favorite bloggers, Taylor, is having a giveaway so go check it out!
