Smiles and Stripes

I’m just all smiles again today. I love that feeling!! Remember how I was talking about Colbie’s new CD? You can stream the entire thing for a limited time here on her MySpace. I am LOVING it so far! Particularly “Dream Life, Life.”

I wore this outfit to the drive-in with the boy. Complete with glow-in-the-dark rainbow necklace. That’s right.

This Body Brought to You by Sour Patch Kids

{girls! I finally pulled up the hideous weed in all of my photos! it wasn’t technically mine to pull up, so I had to wait for the exact right timing to obtain permission. permission obtained. weed gone. lightning bolt on picture. yes!}

Sour Patch Kids. Those wonderfully chewy, sour, sweet candies. The boy and I ate FAR too many of them at the drive-in movie this past weekend. And then we both decided we were going to quit eating processed sugar {seriously}. But I snuck (what?! is that not a word?! it’s underlining it! what is the past tense of ‘sneak’? help a sister out!) the rest of the Sour Patch Kids into my purse.

Then yesterday, while editing this photo, I noticed that my thighs are practically STUFFED into these pants. And quite obviously, I needed to start exercising. So I grabbed a handful of Sour Patch Kids for energy, and did 50 jumping jacks in the kitchen. No lie.

Then I went for a loooooooong walk. Uphill. And on my way back I realized I had a dribble of mocha-fudge frozen yogurt dried down my arm.

I think I need a sugar intervention. Like, seriously. I’m not even kidding.

Shop Your Closet

I was cruising around the J. Crew factory store online shop this weekend (they have some steals right now, girls!) and came across this cute little tank, which I loved:

And then I realized that I liked it so much because, in fact, I already owned a nearly identical version:

I wore it in one of my favorite recent outfits (you can see it here):

While the J. Crew version is very cute, and tempting, it rings up at $14.50 on clearance from $26.50. My version? Charlotte Russe clearance, for $2.98. I think today, I’ll shop my closet, and come up with more cute ways to appreciate my years-old J.Crew-look-alike 🙂 And maybe treat myself to a coffee since, obviously, I just saved $11.52 (plus shipping), hehe.

Red, White, and Blue Through and Through

{For a weekend at the lake, that didn’t really end up being one, but it sort of was, still. Haha. I was planning to wear the seersucker capris you see, but it was too hot. Shorts had to do! You guys for the second year in a row I completely forgot to wear the tattoo. sad}

Wow, so this post is incredibly late due to my computer issues.Nonetheless…

Babydoll

Hey guys! So this is definitely not one of my favorite outfits, and I must admit, I think anything “babydoll” lives up to it’s name (no I am NOT pregnant, lol), so I’m not sure why I still have them in my closet! But I like the colors, and I had the photos in my Flickr, so it was the only outfit I could blog from the boyfriend’s house! And I needed to blog something today. Going through withdrawal because my computer is currently fried!

Not a Day Less Will Do

Below is my specialty pose. I call it the “Crazed Flamingo“:

{you can tell when the boyfriend took the pics, because I make silly faces. because he says things like, “oh yeah! work it! the camera is loving you!”}

{ballet pink fingernails}

And this song. This lullaby of a love song:

A Picnic Dress

I saw this dress at Target and I knew it had to be mine. It is the perfect picnic dress! And the boy and I have a perfect little picnic spot that’s just ours. The dress fits the fingertip rule, but of course, is also pretty floaty, and needed a pair of shorts underneath.

Oops

Somehow this photo got deleted from my previous outfit post. I totally love this dark silver shade. Also: it’s called Gray’s Anatomy. Hehe. {by Wet n Wild} One of the saddest parts of the summer is that all of my {all = two} favorite TV shows are on hiatus. But they are replaced by um…real life? Swimming in the river, farmer’s market, creamies after work, and, my fave: garage sales! {i’m a dork}

Wrinkles and Smiles

{I ironed this dress. Honestly, morning of, I ironed it. Then I drove for 2 hours. And sat at a graduation for 3 hours. Oh well}

{pretty folded shoulder detail}

{this is the actual face I make at the boyfriend when he takes my picture. he’s a lucky man, right?!}

Loving the color and the folded shoulder detail of this new Gap dress. Bought it to wear to my cousin’s bridesmaids brunch, but that didn’t end up happening. So it was perfect to wear for some friends’ graduations! The leggings were necessary as it was 53 degrees and rainy. And I caught a cold. Hmpf.

Ballerina Outfit and Donuts

I rather love that title. Two most wonderful things: a ballet-inspired outfit and a donut. I’m happy today, you guys, because it’s just a happy day. And because last night, I learned that today was National Donut Day (I literally accidentally just typed Natalie Donut Day, hahahaha). Then I went to bed and forgot. But oh, my subconscious, my subconscious wisely didn’t let me forget. I woke up and thought, “I know I usually keep these gluten-free donuts for Saturdays, but I want one today!” and even took a picture of it. A few hours later, Tumblr alerted me again to the fact that today is National Donut Day. Way to go, subconscious!
