Outfit deets:
* Costa Blanca top (new & thrifted) which I have in white and seen with a black, lace (thrifted) pencil skirt. I bought the white one many years ago in a size small. This black one is an extra large. The white one is far too tight for my liking (it looks pretty tight in these pictures, but I liked it like that, back then) now so I'm happy I found it in black as it's such a pretty top. Smart Set cami underneath.
* Tribal skirt (thrifted) which I've worn twice already (love it) but this is the first time on here.
* Guess pumps (which you've seen a million times).
* Accessories: Emily Elizabeth Jewelery necklace, Joe Fresh bangle (gifted from my sister for my birthday), F21 bangles & Gucci shades.
Wednesday! Hoorah! Middle of the weekend closer than ever to the weekend.
This week has been kind of a slow week, and yet I feel so exhausted. On Monday evening, my girl friend and I helped another friend start packing up her place (she's moving in a month) and she made us an amazing dinner. Afterwards we indulged in The Bachelorette and strawberry shortcake. While I've been hoping to get some sewing done, it just hasn't happened, but I have stayed on top of my dishes, which is pretty incredible (my nemesis).
This weekend is my sister's bridal shower and I couldn't be more excited. It was a surprise, but unfortunately someone ruined it (doesn't that just make you so mad when that happens!?), however, it's still going to be an amazing day. So between doing last minute prep for that, getting organized and enjoying the beautiful weather, well, I guess it's understandable that I could use some extra shut eye. But, it's summer, and I always say, 'Who cares, it's summer! We can sleep come winter!' And it's true. I want to make the most of my summer, even if that means being a little more tired than normal as these are the best days of our lives and we should enjoy them!
Have a wonderful day. xo

Outfit deets:
* Joe Fresh top (new!).
* Parasuco jeans (via Marshalls) which I've worn considerably, but not yet on the blog.
* Payless heels which are new-ish and have been worn with a purple dress (what is it with these shoes and purple!?).
* Accessories: vintage necklace, A.Co Designs charm bracelet & Old Navy bangle.
Do you make lists for when you shop? Or perhaps, make a note of certain things you're looking for?
I don't. I just go where the retail therapy takes me, however lately, while clothes shopping, I have been on specific hunts for certain items. Lately I've noticed some gaps in my closet (is that possible?) and have been narrowing my search down.
Things I have been shopping for lately:
* More purple (specifically: lavender skinnies)
* Tops with sleeves (like the one I'm wearing)
* Skirts for the office that are longer
It's interesting as I can certainly see why I ended up with so many sleeveless shirts (and so few with sleeves), as I tend to grab for those first. I find though, with a list (in my head, at least), I am more apt to focus on what I'm looking for, versus simply buying because it's beautiful.
Thoughts?
Not exactly part of the weekend, but Thursday (impromptu) night out with the girls for food.
Outfit deets: H&M top, Sirens skirt, Zara jacket (thrifted) & Bamboo sandals
Fish 'n chips with the girls.
Friday night dinner: steak salad
The girls and I (seven of us) went to see Magic Mike on Friday night (entertaining movie!). Afterwards, we grabbed some beer & nachos on a patio.
Rockin' my DIY cut off denim (these used to be men's jeans that I thrifted).
After signing the paperwork & giving my deposit, here I am putting the 'Reserved' sticker on the floor plan for my new condo. Such an exciting day!
Some congratulatory tokens from my uber sweet friends.
Saturday night was a night for celebrating!
Outfit deets: Charlotte Russe top, H&M skirt, Dynamite belt, Old Navy clutch & Diva Lounge Wedges
...and this is what happens when you dance the night away and wake up the next morning. #SprayTanProblems
L.A. Express Earrings ($8)
I bought these earrings at Sirens on Friday night. I hated the white beads on them but seeing past that, I knew I could modify them. I love the idea of spike earrings, don't own any, and the price was right on these. I took them home, removed all the spikes and beads, and re-strung the spikes back on the hoops. Et voila! Much nicer.
