there is a winery in nebraska

Old Navy polka dot tank, high-waisted Gap shorts, Target boots, vintage bag. 

Spent a completely magical weekend at a local winery + lakefront campsite with all of my favorite females. From stumbling upon a pair of llamas to consuming more smores than I'll ever care to admit, I have to say it'll be hard to top this trip.

Barbara Palvin is stunning in one of the best beauty editorials I've seen in a while. The over-the-top accessorizing is perfectly complemented by a range of simple, easy-to-obtain makeup looks.

I'd wear looks #1 and #6 exactly as they are. Perfect prints and inspiring color choices. I'll be looking to this collection frequently as I seek to really narrow and define my sense of style - hopefully an achievable goal!

I wore this outfit out on a date with a super good-looking guy and the zipper on my shorts broke while I was in the bathroom. Spent the rest of the evening nervously shuffling around with my left thigh way more exposed than I intended.

why, hello, so good to see you again

my hair is shoulder-length now. pixie cuts are an absolute pain to grow out.

i'm thinking the yellow one will be my little spring splurge...if it comes back in stock, that is. siiiiigh.

bb dakota bostwick wool toggle coat, $128 at nasty gal

birdhouse jewelry

Stumbled across this designer last month while perusing the Brooklyn Flea Market, which I finally found after two wrong trains and a long and expensive cab ride. I've been wearing my crossbones necklace (I have it in black) and horseshoe ring every day. Their designs aren't revolutionary...just simple, dainty, interesting, and great for the price. I have my eye on this skull necklace next!

Serving as my primary inspiration for tomorrow's thrifting trip, although I doubt I'll ever find a suitable replacement for those glorious Fendi boots in the last photo. I also need some recycled retail therapy to get through the last week of midterms I'll ever have to take!
