Festive Fourth

Ok so, I like fashion. In fact, you could say I love fashion. But there's something you should know about me and fashion; being that I just graduated from college, I am poor and often do not have the luxury of fashion. Confession: I haven't bought a pair of shoes or an outfit since December. (I'm long over due) Alas, I try with what I do have. This weekend however, my sweet mother treated me to a new dress and an adorable ring (both from target). I found this dress perfect for the fourth festivities; the off-the-shoulder sleeve reminded me of those swooping flags you see on old victorian houses. I paired it with red shoes I already had and was ready to celebrate!

Summer Days To Come

Today is my only day off this week, and I am taking advantage of the sun and dreaming of summer days. It's not hard when you're by the pool all day, which is exactly where I am. It's actually quite wonderful! And while I'm here, I'm thinking of all the beautiful summer dresses I could add to my closet to embrace the season. It's coming up quick and I can't wait to get ready! Maybe one of these picks will make it into my wardrobe.

Wedding Dress Ideas?

I'll admit it: I'm kind of excited about this royal wedding. My best friend and I are planning to wake up super early tomorrow (donuts in hand for sure) and watching the gorgeous Kate Middleton marry her prince (and probably weep at the idea that it isn't one of us!). But I have another confession to make: A long time before I knew about this wedding, I've had a bad habit of browsing white gowns and picturing myself in them. Now, I'm nowhere near ready to get married as I'm still waiting for my prince, however I had such a fun time looking at dresses and imagining the new princess in them. Speculation over her dress has the internet buzzing as seen here, here, and even here! But I have my own ideas... If I were getting married tomorrow I'd love to be in any one of these dresses. Of course we'll have to wait until tomorrow for the real royal gown to be revealed, but perhaps it will look like one of my choices.

Summer Watches

Lately I've been pretty obsessed with watches. I'm not sure why since I've never been a bracelet person, but I suddenly had to have one. And I must say, I love the little time piece on my left wrist. Here's a list of some of the one's I fell in love with while on my search for the perfect watch. They're all perfect for the warmer weather and absolutely trendy!

 1. This Liz Claiborne beauty is stylish, modern, classy, and affordable. (and it's the one I bought) If it's a must for your collection (as it was for mine) you can find it here. 
 2. Relic provides a trendy clear watch. It's light and it's popping up everywhere! And It's completely affordable. Find it here.
3.This is a perfect summer watch by Fossil. It's stark white with just the right amount of sparkle...perfect for a casual summer day. Find it here.
4.The rose colored timepiece by Michael Kors is to die for! The color is unexpected and fresh. It's a bit pricey but so worth it. Find it here.
