Hotter than a fantasy, lonely like a highway

We survived! It is Friday! I would like to wear these clothes from Joinery today.

Post Title from Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys.

It feels so good to just get lost sometimes

Wait, I love this outfit so much. From Atlantic-Pacific. That girl dresses so well.

And it feels like heaven

If I had tons of money, and I could bring/wear anything on my Southern European adventure, I love these outfits from Poppy. I'm looking at you high-waisted shorts and teal sandals. Happy Friday :)

What a strange day for ones not lost in a bad way

Ooh yes summer has finally arrived. I'm really excited for this summer of working, taking classes, going to concerts, moving into my own apartment, and.... traveling to Europe :) Here are some outfit ideas that I want to wear amid all the activity. Gotta keep cool and calm. Post title from Let's Go by Madi Diaz.

the loose blouse jean shorts combo

the cute t-shirt

the button-down blouse and heels combo

the long dress

I just want you to know, I've been fighting to let you go

Three things that have been on my mind:


1. Now that I must dress like a real person certain days of the week for work, I try less hard slash not at all on all the other days... fail. I'm currently wearing sweatpants and a t shirt. This is a big deal for me. But now that the weather is changing, this attitude must change too. Inspiration: I love everything about this outfit.

2. You may hate One Direction, but you will change your mind after watching this adorable interview. Harry, I will speak French with you. Ecoute! Also oh Zayn. Btw my friend wrote her feelings about them here. There are so many great links on it if you ever just wanna lose yourself in the cuteness that is One Direction. She is seeing them in June (so jealous). And you think I'm obsessed?



3. I was really annoyed with the tv show Girls at first because there was absolutely no diversity (just like Friends and How I Met Your Mother... surely there is one non-white person in NYC?!) and the characters were entitled brats. But after watching the third episode, I find them much more relatable (I can't lie and say I have nothing in common with the post English major who can't find a job in NYC... I see my future clearly now). Also Allison Williams is gorgeous. Just stop it.

Post title from Just Want You to Know by Backstreet Boys. Yes, you read that right.

Here beneath my lungs, I feel your thumbs press into my skin again

Yes wedding posts are annoying. But this lovely bride has a pink dress and a beautiful tattoo! I love everything about this from her hair to the setting... Australia. I want to go to there. Title from Welcome Home by Radical Face.

Let me be and let me live

I just snatched the window seats at Noble Tree, my favorite coffee shop in Chicago :)  Success.  The view is beautiful... I would much rather look out at snow covered streets then walk through it.

Anywhoo I've started reading Ulysses by James Joyce for one of my classes... and dang that book is dense. I feel like I'm reading an encyclopedia, but without the explanations.  But I get so much satisfaction in reading not because of Joyce's brilliance, but really because my copy of the book is so lovely.  It is a light blue hard cover with simple font.

Before you laugh at how silly I am for being obsessed with a book's appearance, check this girl out. She dressed up as her Ulysses book.  I admire her :)

That cover page is amazing. No one can argue with that.  Speaking of beautiful and simple graphic design, check out this movie poster for Never Let Me Go.  I love.

One song, before the sun sets

Getting through finals week by listening to the Rent soundtrack on repeat (post title: One Song Glory) and looking at these lovely photos from The Wild Fleur, The Cherry Blossom Girl, Laure de Sagazan, Trop Rouge, and The Simple Luxurious Life.

Oh to live in the 20s

So I was planning on putting some pics up of Austin and Houston, but my camera is being silly.  So while we wait for this problem to go away, I would like to focus on Midnight in Paris.  Not only did I love this movie, no surprise there, but I really like Marion Cotillard.  She is one sexy beast.  

Anywho I also loved her dresses in the movie.  The whole boyish, drop waist dress is really hard to pull off, especially if you have a waist, but this blogger succeeded.

Things have gotten closer to the sun

Oh my goodness, I think I'm in love.  I happened upon this blog called Atlantic-Pacific, and this girl is so stylish!  I couldn't decide which outfits to post because I am obsessed with them all.  I especially love her attention to details with her accessories and layers.  Can I be her please?
