I know why I lost control of my heart and soul

Well this girl sure knows how to dress, and she's got some awesome tattoos. In another life, I would like to be her please.

The day after my internship ends (one week), I'm flying out to London for my cousin's wedding! So excited, gotta make sure I look like I know how to dress. Gotta take some pointers from this girl.

Check out her blog, Et Pourquoi Pas Coline. Post title from Don't Wake Me Up by Lianne La Havas, a beautiful song.

I am weary from the restless heart inside of me

Wednesday night I heard Fun. perform at Taste of Chicago, and they were excellent. It did make me miss my friend who is studying abroad in Greece this summer. We went to their concert last year, and my button got stuck on her sweater while we were dancing up and down in the mosh pit singing along, and we had to stop in the dancing to fix it. It was a funny moment, two girls struggling to untangle their clothes surrounded by enthusiastic jumping people.

However this Wednesday there was no mosh pit or sweat, but rather fresh air and the Chicago skyline, which ain't so bad if you ask me.

On our walk to the bus, I passed one of my favorite Chicago bloggers! We passed each other at an intersection, and I didn't realize why she was familiar until a block down. And then I freaked out. I think I scared my friend with my intensity of happiness and shock. I wish I said something, but oh well.

Anywhoo the girl I passed has the lovely fashion blog Avant Blargh. Do check it out, she is very classy.

I could see for miles, miles, miles

My life long dream has been accomplished. I am in the lovely city of Maastricht in the Netherlands with my dad who has work here. And while wandering around, I found the store I have stalked online from my dorm room in Evanston far too many times. Yes it would be Scotch & Soda, an Amsterdam based fashion brand, which I previously posted about here and here. If I had endless amounts of money, I would dress me and my future man in everything from this store. I have to bring my dad back, just to have an excuse to return and go through the men's clothing. 

I bought myself some pants way on sale, and can now say I am a proud owner of Maison Scotch pants. Ah what a life. Even the people working there were attractive. I never thought Dutch was a beautiful language, but it never sounded so good coming from a well dressed young man.

You smashed a plate over my head

Today I bought cheap pants. Yay. People dress well here... I have trouble keeping up. This video is really cute, good inspiration for Fall?

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 :)

Can't keep hanging on to what is dead and gone

I don't know what it is about these two outfits, but I'm obsessed. Maybe it is the denim and light shirt. Or maybe the pop of red. It all looks so clean and fresh. Happy Monday :)

I've been looking for a fight

To my four readers: I apologize for my sporadic posting. Two weeks ago I was all excited about posting every weekday to get it into my summer. Then I realized I had no internet. And then I also realized that posting at work is nearly impossible. Who knew one actually works during work? I am going to Milwaukee for the weekend, just for fun. So I leave this post with you in order to wish you a happy weekend :) And also because there is a cute guy in the coffee shop, and I needed an excuse to be here longer just to notice my surroundings...


I also find this picture beautiful. Dark skin and bright colors... so beautiful. Yes I understand that I am just posting something I pinned. But sometimes you are just out of fresh ideas.


Song title from The Riot's Gone by Santigold. I am obsessed this song. I have listened to it over 25 times this week. You think I'm joking.

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.
