Wha Wha!!

Soooooo summer is just gonna give up like that and let fall show up so hard?! Ugh! 

A slightly chilly Tuesday.

Made In America

Closed the summer out with a quick trip to Philly for the Made in America Music Festival. #FunTimes

Conway tee, F21 shorts, Nike SkyHi dunks

Totally forgot I owned these shorts, don't remember buying them in fact! But I did have to pop the tag off this summer to wear them. 

The humidity was on like 1,000!! See the beads of sweat on my forehead! It was one of those moments where you're sweating but you're not moving. Gross. 

Can we talk about this fan girl moment here!!! *Swoon* Michael B Jordan might be my new boyfriend.

Philip Lim X Target take 1

I ended up getting this skirt in store in a smaller size than what I ordered online so I didn't have to wait for the mail man to deliver it! This was the piece I really wanted and I have so many ideas for it!

Kinda in love with these shoes. Several more colors have been added online, and I might have to get another pair! 

The quality of the skirt is a lot better than I expected. It has a solid closure and the construction is great! Love the color, love the feel, love the fit, I think this skirt will be with for a long while. 

Tar-jay

Philip Lim for Target was the first time I committed to myself to participate in a collaboration collection.  The hype usually turns me off but I thought "let's give it a go" for the experience of it all. With the help of my coworkers I was able to fully express my slightly obsessive tendencies. Look-book images were poured over several times while discussing outfits and possible quality issues. Links to Racked.com articles were sent via Gchat,  strategies were discussed, shopping lists made, the whole nine!  

Although I did most of my shopping online when the collection went live at 4am (cause I'm a night owl like that) I did still go into the store at 8am.

Here's the line I encountered. Not too bad but the racks were demolished once we made it inside! Most of the shopper were really nice though. There was a lot of trading and passing stuff off to other shoppers once people had a chance to really evaluate what they wanted. I did end up getting a smaller size in a skirt I ordered online. 

Gap jacket and jeans, Brooks Brothers top, JCrew shoes

Comfort was the name of the dressing game for me that morning. I was working on little sleep but it was a fun experience. 

This was my "I'm a kids model from the 90's" pose. #Cutie I like the peplum on this top, it's a whimsical version of a classic button up. 

I'll be showing off my purchases in later posts. Stay tuned! 

Fight Night

I am not a sports girl at all. I would much rather spend the evening playing The Sims, but sometimes you have to drink the Kool-Aid. What I wore to a crowded bar to watch some men beat on each other for a couple hours.

Friends are the Family you choose

Went home to go ole C Town for a much needed exscape. For a trip out to brunch with friends I went casual cool.

American Apparel top, Gap jeans, Steve Madden shoes, MCM bag

Brunch turned into shopping, which turned into a potluck and SUCH GOOD TIMES!! 

I made the cabbage! 

My something like a chef homie Alexis. Our meal slapped in large part thanks yo her. She made a cake and errrthing! 

Love Love Love these women! 

Dancing, cooking, eating, shopping, crying, gossiping, rejoicing, and endless laughs, it was so good for my soul to spend time with this amazing group of people who are kind enough to put up with me and call me friend. I'm a very lucky and thankful girl.
