Florida photo diaries PT 2

Spending some of my summer in paradise. Still in southwest Florida enjoying the sunny mornings, but not the rainy afternoons that follow. Took most of these pictures on the beach over the fourth of July.

Florida photo diaries PT 1

It has done nothing but rain here in Florida since my arrival. It's left me cooped up and not able to get out that much. I'm hoping things will clear in the following days so I can start to experience the "sunshine state".

Headband

(forever21 headband)

Normally I'm no fan of headbands, but I fancy this one. I purchased it at forever21 ages ago then realized I'd probably never wear it. It was never seen again until recently. I think it seems to go a lot better against my pink hair. I'm back at home base in Chicago, but not for long in a few days I'll be off to Florida to visit more family.

Rain

Sometimes I really love the rain. I wanted to test out one of my new camera lenses today.

(h&m top)

I got this at h&m the other day. I can't wait to wear it. Maybe pair it with something long sleeved. Perfect.

At the mall today this fancy little top caught my eye. As soon as I picked it up, the boyfriend said out loud what I was thinking. It was definitely me. I'm in love with the sheer sleeves and hole in the back. I paired it with my faux leather leggings and my brother's old hat. After the day was over I ended up spending way more then I had planned, but doesn't that always happen? Maybe, I'll feel less guilty when I can relax this weekend. We're going to host a wine and cheese party at our apartment. I'm pretty excited about it. It will be our first of many I'm sure.

Scratch that

I really did have my mind up on going ombre, but it didn't quite turn out how I'd hoped. I figured since I started a massive bleaching process, I wasn't going to let it go to waste since I'd go back to my old color, so I resulted in pink! I was thinking of only keeping for a week, but I really like how it looks. It's a nice new change that I'll keep for a bit. I really missed blogging! I wasn't able to post anything with the weird hair phases I was putting my hair through in order to go pink.

Ombre

(hot topic top)

I've been wanting to go ombre with my hair for a while, just to try something new. I started the beginning of the process so it's still in the transition phase. Now I'm not sure if I want to go ahead and go through with it, or go back to my same hair of 5 years. Wearing my most favorite hot topic tank, and sporting my new tattoo. It's just the outline. Nothing fancy yet.

Boots with the fur

I got these faux fur boots for Christmas. I confess that I cannot stop wearing them. They look best when worn with tights or leggings. I can stay relatively comfy and still have that pop at the same time. Love!

12/31 My Birthday

(forever21 dress, steve madden boots)

The celebration of new years is looming in the air. Along with that today is my birthday, so it's always double the reason to celebrate. The black dress is my pick for going out tonight. The poof bottom screams "birthday girl" and I wouldn't want it any other way. I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year!

December

December randomness.

I hope everyone had a happy holiday.
