Hello Suzies, 

O M G it's finally warm outside!  I was able to appropriately wear shorts today and I don't know about you but that makes me unreasonably happy.

I found out that this is absolutely the best running-errands outfit for such a handsome day!  I woke up had a nice tea with an old friend, run to grab some odds and ends from target, and went to a cute boutique in town!  I also made MACAROONS today!!!  What a time that was.  It was actually quite fun, but every time I attempt to bake I am always very nervous of failure because it is so easy to slip a little bit when baking.   Messing up is ok though, because after all Madeline messing up with the meringue is not going to cause the world to implode... or will it.  Anyways they were cute and pretty delicious as well!

Sunnies- Rayban

Croakie- Lilly Pullitzer

Nashville muscle tank (!!!!!!!!!!) - Urban Outfitters

Shorts- Madewell

Jellies- Urban Outfitters

French bulldog earrings- Urban Outfitters

Pink ring- Mammoth Cave (from a sixth grade school trip HA)

Black onyx ring- Etsy

Midi ring- Free People

The opinions regarding these funny little sandals have ranged from cute to ridiculous, but as I say about everything in life, 'If you like it, go for it.'  After all, some were absolutely appalled when Coco Chanel had the "audacity" to design and sell trousers for women in the 1930s, and look what CHANEL is now AND we wear pants. 

 Keep life fabulous and kind!

Being Busy, Prepostions, and Stuff

Hello Suzies,

I would say, "I'm promise I'm back for good," buuuut we see how that has turned out.  I don't forget about you, I CAN promise you that much.  I just get so busy and procrastinate and blah blah all those shenanigans.  Anyway, here I am!

Since I've been away I have taken several pictures to be used for WideEyedSusan, this is one!  Taken by my wonderful friend Lesley, I stand in an alley of clovers and beside a wall covered in graffiti out of which I was unable to make words..  I am wearing an outfit of which I am extremely yet peculiarly proud.  I feel like these sentences sound weird because I'm trying to make them grammatically correct by not putting prepositions at the end.. please excuse me.  It was dream job day at school on this particular day and I tried to dress the role of Accessories Director at TeenVogue; I really like Sheena Smith, she is the cooliest.  Plus, I never get to wear normal clothes to school because we wear uniforms.  I talked about that in this post!  

Now time to get down to bidness.  From head to toe? FROM HEAD TO TOE!  My RayBans are a staple item, love'em.  My earrings are from the ever lovely Urban Outfitters.  You can barely see it but the silver necklace laying under my collar is from H&M along with the black ring on my pinky!  My bracelets are just from around the house, I really wish I could tell you where they are from but I have no idea.  Oh! My purse, it's kind of hiding behind my person, is from TopShop, and oh my oh my how I love it!  The chambray collared shirt is from Gap, the overlaying boyfriend-like sweater is from- I could eat this store up- H&M.  Black jeggings... YOU GUESSED RIGHT, H&M!  Desert boots are an autumn and winter essential, mine are Steve Madden- very reliable boot brand.  My coat is my favorite favorite favorite!  It is a vintage piece of my Great-Grandmother Dot's, actually made by a local seamstress way back.  This one-of-a-kind piece is covered in a tiny blue and green hounds tooth!  

I would like to wish everyone a very very happy Thanksgiving!! 

Comment below if you would like to see a post about a certain something! I love love love new ideas.  

LoveXO

I absolutely love clothes.  I hope you don't take that materialistically, because I really don't mean it like that. I am extremely blessed when it comes to having the capabilities to buy clothes that I want!  This sweet little dress came from the ever lovely Target.  Target is a great place to find mod pieces for a good price.  This dress is very versatile and can be worn in any season.  This winter I styled it with a chunky yellow necklace, black tights, and sneaker wedges.  My shoes are from ModCloth. ModCloth, ModCloth, ModCloth what am I going to do with you?  When I look at their website I fall in love with everthing I lay my eyes on.  The site is quite girly and quirky and has a little bit of everything for everyone.  The belt is just a skinny suede-ish belt with silver accents.  I actually think this belt came with a shirt I bought from  a shop in Nashville called Posh.  I always have a little spark of fashion envy when I walk into this shop because it is fairly pricey, but the clearence room -yes, I said ROOM- is incredible.  So that's wear I do my shopping in there!  My accessories came from various places like Forever21, Macy's, and my moms jewelry box.

Hello Suzies,

Leather Top & Flatforms

Sunnies-Rayban  Top-ApricotLane Shorts-H&M Flatforms-Topshop

I was psyched to wear this top today!  I have had it for what seems like ages and I thought today would be a perfect day to break it out! I like this top so much because it's different from a lot of clothes people wear where I live.  It it faux leather which makes it quite structured.  It is made of panels which support the fact that it does have a lot of structure. The shorts are definitely one of my go-to items year round.  They fit very nicely and feel very sturdy considering they were a steal from H&M at only $10- YOWZA!  Sadly you cannot see my shoes very well, but they are the BEST.  Flatforms are one probably my favorite trends at the moment!  I had been scavenging around for a black pair for a while so I was über excited when I spotted these on Topshop's website- I wish they would open another closer than L.A.  These flatforms are a little more on the mild side,  they are tastefully glittery black and have a one-inch platform, but I love them! "Do ya love 'em so much ya wanna marry 'em?"  Umm..

I spent this wonderful day with my best friend.  We had lunch and saw a movie.  We saw The Great Gatsby and boy was it incredible.  It was like nothing else I've ever watched, in a way it was kind of artsy in the way it was portrayed.  I'm reading the book for my English class so the movie , I think, will help me bring the words to life.
