Flashback Friday

It's always appropriate to post a flashback Friday when you have no new photos to post. I've been sitting on these photos for a while now and I always loved the shots of me in my favorite jeans and perfect striped shirt, which is my all time favorite thrifted find. It's outfits like this that remind me its all about good basics.

It's also appropriate when I want to talk about how much I miss my long hair. It's when you go through past photos that makes you miss the things you once had. Even though I don't have any regrets on cutting it, I just miss having the ability to do pretty braids and perfect buns.

Happy Friday!

Oh do I love cold weather in Florida. Even this get up did not keep me warm. After I took these photos I threw on a big shaggy cardigan. I look forward to the days of layering and wearing fall colors. It makes you feel like the holiday's are coming.

With a new haircut comes a feeling of new everything, or maybe thats just me. I have this urge to go through my closet and re-access what I should keep and what should go. With that, I'm thinking of having a clothes swap party with a couple friends. I'm sure they have a pile of clothes they don't want; I sure do. 

What kind of feeling do you get when you get a new haircut?

There's just something about fall colors that makes me love to wear them all year long. It could be that they are rich in color and have a feeling of warmth, or just are appealing to the eye. All I know is when it's fall, I wear this shade of red a lot.

So, they look pajamas, but they are not, it's an illusion. These are my 4th pair of pajama like pants and I just can't get enough of them. They are comfy and usually come in fun prints, that you can really dress up. Mine are from J. crew where most of mine are from, but I have a pair of silk ones from Zara that a lot of people seem to own as well. They are my go to bottoms when it's blazing hot and don't want to wear shorts. 

Are you in love with pajama like pants as much as me?

Finally! I have my dream sneakers! I've been on the hunt for a pair of fun Nikes since I've been seeing the internationalist collection pop up everywhere and sell out before I can pick a pair. The last time I tried to get them, Nordstrom sent me the complete wrong color. I received an alert saying the sold out color Glacier Blue was available, so I ordered them as soon as I saw the e-mail, and instead they sent me a pink and yellow pair that were so not me. So, when I found these and actually received the right ones from Sneakerhead I had to create a outfit the day I got them. I really can't get enough of them! If only I could wear them to work.

The vacation vibes are flowing. Alex (my boyfriend) and I are in serious need of a vacation, but where to go is the issue. It's been between Cali, Chicago, D.C or back to New York. For me it's CALIFORNIA all the way. I've never been and that perfect weather charm is calling my name.  Where do you think we should visit? 

Lastly, did you watch the Miami Heat game last night?! That was an unbelievable game and "that guy" is one dirty player who does not deserve to play for the NBA! The Miami Heat has an amazing team flow and nobody could ever compare. They don't need dirty antics to win. Cannot wait to go watch them win the finals!!

It's been a long time since I've written on this blog let alone go on it. I know, because as I was typing up my blog name in the search tab, it didn't complete the link. My only excuse is that school, work and life played such a huge role in my absence. But now I'm a college graduate circa 3 weeks ago and I now live on my own. I  can officially say that I now know the meaning of living the adult life; I think ; )

As I wear my Stella McCartney esque top, I give you a peek of the view from my balcony, my new love of desert plants and the sunset I get to see up close just from my living room.

The title says it all, I'm back in the groove to blog!
