Sunday Funday to the Max

Sunday Funday to the Max

Gap Denim Overall Shorts (similar), Timing Sunday Funday Crop Top (similar, similar), Tan Buckle Sandals c/o LuLu*s (similar, similar)

I bought two pairs of overalls this past weekend and I couldn't be more pleased with myself. Jeremy isn't a big fan of this pair since he claims they make me look like I'm about to head to a shift at the farm. But you know what? I will happily milk those cows and collect those eggs if it means I get to wear these bad boys.

The second pair, not shown, are black overalls that go all the way down to my ankles instead of cutting off like shorts. I'm going to be debuting them during my trip to Iceland in a couple of days so get ready for some OVERALL-FILLED INSTAGRAMS. Booyah.

Having these overalls in my closet are also giving me flashbacks to second grade when I used to rock some sick, dark purple, velvet overalls. Talk about a trendsetter, amirite?

That 90's Grunge Look

That 90's Grunge Look

Graphic V-Neck Top c/o Junk Food Tees (similar), Urban Outfitters High-Waisted Shorts (similar), Oversized Red Flannel c/o Sheinside (similar), Reversible Tote Bag c/o LuLu*s (similar), Tan Buckle Sandals c/o LuLu*s (similar)

Even though I wasn't going through puberty in the 90's, I can still embrace the grungy look over a decade later. I seriously can't stop tying things around my waist. It's also a good solve when you want to wear your favorite shorts but they're just a little too short to be sauntering them around the office. A plaid shirt transformed into a butt cover. Voila!

Coming Soon: From Astoria to Iceland

Coming Soon: From Astoria to Iceland

Forever 21 Denim Jacket (similar), Vintage Fish Shift Dress (similar), Express Two-Toned Sandals (similar), Two-Toned Tote Bag c/o Chictopia (similar), The Queen Midi Ring c/o Kitsch, Beyond the Stars Ring c/o Kitsch, What Time? Watch c/o Rakani Watches (similar)

In a week I'll be in a plane heading to Iceland and I'm so excited I can barely keep myself together. So despite how happy I am to be running around the city with my bare legs in the warmer weather, I'm pretty pumped for sweater weather to make a temporary appearance again. Iceland has been on my travel wish list for quite some time now so I'm like a giddy little girl every single time I start thinking about it again. Recently, WOW Airlines has been offering really affordable tickets to Iceland (they're a new airline that's finally offering passenger flights) with the caveat that most services are an extra charge, so a group of 10 of us decided to just go for it. We're renting two cars and driving around the entire country to experience as much as possible in 6 days. A bit of a tight squeeze but we got this.

Can't wait to share my adventures with you guys. If there's anything in particular you would like me to share from my travel (pre-, during, or post-), just shout!

Also, would love to have some guest bloggers during that time away. Email/Tweet me if you're interested! :)

Summer Time Canadian Tuxedo

Summer Time Canadian Tuxedo

Madewell Chambray Shirt (similar), Urban Outfitters High-waisted Shorts (similar), Urban Outfitters Peach Wedges (similar), Reversible Tote Bag c/o LuLu*s (similar)

I've already got the air conditioning blasting and I'm pretty sure summer is like, "I'm gonna let you finish, spring, but summer is the best season of all time." Didn't spring just get here? My eyes definitely think so with the constant barrage of allergies attacking them at all times of the day. I'm not too upset about summer's quick arrival though. The city really reaches it's full potential during the warmer months when all the restaurants open up their outdoor patios and backyards, festivals pop up on random streets, and parks are showing outdoor movies right and left. The only painful part is being stuck indoors when you know the sun is beaming it's little heart out and you're not there to soak up all the vitamin D.

Time to draft up my summer to-do list which will end up being so long it'll be impossible to do it all. Challenge accepted.

Sundays Were Made For Naps

Sundays Were Made For Naps

Forever 21 Denim Jacket (similar), Urban Outfitters Loose Black Top (similar), H&M Rust Wide-leg Trousers, Black Flats c/o LuLu*s (similar)

Today was the laziest day I've had in a long time and I'm enjoying every second of it. I woke up with a mild hangover, the kind that you just quickly sleep off, and then plopped myself back into bed and continued sleeping some more. Then I woke up, watched a bunch of episodes of 30 Rock, and then took yet another nap. Then Jeremy and I took advantage of the incredible weather and headed over to the nearby sculpture park to take, you guessed it, ONE MORE NAP. And now I'm about to smush my face in some takeout chinese food to pregame my bedtime. This Sunday is so exciting I could shout from the rooftops but I won't because I'm stuck in my napping position.

From Cherry Blossoms to Brick Walls

Another weekend is here, which means another few days to rest my eyes from the glare of my tiny laptop screen. My favorite days at work are always the ones where we travel to an off-site location; looking at beautiful apartments and cozy lakes are definitely a sight for (literally) sore eyes.

I've got solid plans to take advantage of the spring weather this weekend. From catching up with friends over brunch, stuffing myself full of hot pot, drunkenly watching baseball, to introducing friends to Bubba (the obsession that never ends), it's going to be a busy couple of days. Now to find a way to  squeeze in room for the dreaded laundry.
