But my heart beats too fast

Beautiful scarves from Block Shop, a textile company founded by two sisters in Bagru, India.

Thinking about tomorrow won't change how I feel today

Yesterday my friend and I checked out the new Topshop... one word: overpriced.  I thought the experience would be fun and uber artsy, but instead we just got overwhelmed and sad.  There was a 14 year old trying high heels on, when we couldn't even afford the rings!  So we went to Forever 21 and had much better luck there.


Inspiration for this week:

Why is she so cool.  The carelessly tucked in shirt, the messy hair... I just can't handle this.

My messy buns seldom have this much success.

It was warm today, I could've worn this.  Too bad, it will be cold from now on :(

This girl is uber stylin.  Btw I have those loafers, and I love them.  So much.

I love big sweaters.  This one and the one in the picture before would be perfect for rainy days.

I love this quote.  So well expressed!

Coffee and cupcakes

I should never be given a day off from work.  I end up spending more money than I earn.  I went out with the goal of buying converse, essential walking shoes for college.  Did I get them?  No. I decided that with that money, I could instead get really cute sandals and high heeled boots for winter.  Neither are practical, but both are just so darn cute :)


Now I would like to take this time to rave about this amazing cupcake place down the street.  This morning I had the best cupcake ever.  Boston Cream from Molly's Cupcakes.  I am not one for cupcakes normally, Sprinkles never did it for me.  But this place will change your stereotypes for cupcakes, I almost have to eat the cake part and the icing separate because the conflicting goodness in my mouth is just too much to handle at once.

Dark jeans and painted toes

Today I spent the day shopping on Michigan Ave, surprise surprise :)  To my delight, I found the perfect jeans.  I normally get cheap jeans which never fit me and get holes in a month, so I was looking for good quality jeans.  I went to Levi's, from the advice of my bestie who came last weekend, and they measured me and everything.  Let me tell you these jeans are so comfortable!  It is a struggle for me to fit jeans well because I gots some curves, so this buy was uber exciting.  Anywho to get you started for the weekend, here are some really cute shoes that I'm obsessing over from Refinery 29.  Go forth and be fashionable!

We're gonna have a good day

I've got some super exciting news.  So take a look at these Seychelles shoes.  Cute, right?  Well what if I told you I found them ON SALE at Urban Outfitters today.  I'm talkin over half off man.  yep.  My friend always says I have a ton of impractical shoes, but I would argue that these are actually extremely practical... I mean look how many cute outfits one of my favorite bloggers put together with these shoes!  And they are comfortable... well sort of hehe
