OUTFIT: Swim For It!

Really, now that summer's almost over, I finally have some time to relax. Which pretty much means that I am going shopping for swimsuits! Plus, I'm going swimming today to catch up with my college roommate. Here are some of my picks:

Mint is totally the IT color this season, and the best thing about this, is that it's reversible! Totally, two outfits in one, what???

( Piperlime, $$129.99 )

( Piperlime, $39.99 for top and $39.99 for bottom )

Mint and aqua are pretty much my favorite colors right now. And that pop of fuchsia is perfect!

Off to the pool, ta.

JEWEL: State your piece

This necklace caught my eye as soon as I saw it appear, as if my magic, in my Etsy email. I wear pink a lot, so it's perfect, and oh so classy. I love the draping chains too.

( @ DeuceFashion, $32 )

SHOE LUST: Kick off those Sunday shoes

Even though summer is now almost over (no...........), I'm still in the process of finding the perfect sandals. Of course, I'll probably buy them right before the first snowfall, and have to suffer through not being able to wear them until next summer...

This pair from ASOS has really been calling my name, and now they're on sale.....

( ASOS £14 )

Off to church.

SHOE LUST: Pretty in Pink

Spotted these simple sandals. Reasons why to buy them:


1). I need new shoes. (But come on, who doesn't)?
2). Nice neutral color
3). But still jazz with the sparkles. 


Therefore...they'll totally match anything this summer!

( @ H+M, $17.95 )

And honestly, who really needs a reason to buy a new pair of shoes?

Happy belated Fourth of July! Hope you enjoyed fireworks somewhere.

SONG: Somebody That I Used to Know

So I am COMPLETELY obsessed with this song and have had it on youtuberepeat.com for literally nonstop the last few days:

( @ Youtube )

Listen to it, and be blown away by it's awesomeness. I can't believe that they were able to coordinate so well. And the guy on the right just cracks me up!

OBSESSED: Mason Jars as Cups

Being a broke college student means that you use whatever you can to adapt to your natural surroundings...sorta like a chameleon...or maybe not.

So, that being the case, using mason jars as cups is not only uber chic, but also totally fits being environmentally-friendly! Killing two birds with one stone. Yup, just sip your lemonade out of a mason jar. And save the world. One drink at a time.

Iced coffee. In a jar.

( @ A Beautiful Mess )

Hey, look. Gorgeous raspberry lemonade. In a mason jar. And hey look! You can etch it yourself.

( @ A Beautiful Mess )

Even smoothies?

( @ The Yummy Life ) 

Aw, these drinks are so summery...makes me want to throw a mason jar party...sorta like a margarita party, but totally classier. 

( @ The Blond Cook )

So, who's up for it? Mason jar party? Yeah?

PHOTO: That Tree...

I came across these photographs of trees, somewhere in the blogosphere. They're a series of photographs by Myong Ho Lee. I love how they're just simple shots of a landscape, with a simple tree painted on a canvas. They're just striking in composition.
