all aboard for summer!

Thanks to the naturally cool temperature of our apartment, I had no idea how incredibly humid it was outside today and opted for pants. Not one of my best calls; I was sweating everywhere. Luckily we just got a new A/C unit for the shop so at least I got to be nice and cool while I was working. I’m hoping that it will cool off a little by 8, as I’m planning on going to a concert on Fountain Square tonight (in downtown Cincinnati) as part of the MidPoint Music Festival. If you’re in the area make sure to catch The Minor Leagues!

I borrowed this cool piece of Indian costume jewelry from my roommate and business partner Maya today that I was really excited to wear and was happy it went well with the conductor stripe jeans! As you can see I have worn my new shoes every day since I got them. That’s not just for my posts either, I actually haven’t worn any other shoes- except maybe some flip flops to take the pups out.

I absolutely love the little ruffle on the clutch and the carved bangles!

You know you'll be seeing a lot of them!

I cannot believe that I failed to mention this in my last post- sadly, the hard drive in my computer has died. I took it to the Mac store on Saturday to make sure and they confirmed. It was a very sad day for me. Luckily my wonderful boyfriend is quite adept with computers and he can replace it for much cheaper than they would. Unfortunately, you still must have some money to buy a new hard drive which I do not. Long story short, I will only be able to blog on days that I am working at the shop for a while. Sorry guys!

I finally fixed the zipper on this cool pseudo tribal print skirt, I’ve had it for almost a year and never worn it! I thought I’d roll with that theme and thew on this cool goofy mask necklace. Yesterday I had to get up at 6 a.m. for the first time in several years, and I’m still reeling from that. Since I was so exhausted when I woke up this morning I didn’t put that much effort in my accessories, and I think my outfit is a little boring. No big deal though, it would have been too hot for much more clothing really.

I love the little rhinestone eyes on this guy!

another twofer!!

I was really happy to finally get a chance to wear the dress that my magnificent friend Jeni sent me! It’s so light and breezy, I was comfy all day. I’ve been rocking the sheer scarves as hair wraps all the time lately, they’re my new go to for a bad hair day or a need for color. Through some hardcore thrifting I have recently acquired one in just about every color of the rainbow!

I love how much this purse resembles vinyl upholstery from a 1950′s Bel-Air!

Yet again I ended up playing dress up a bit while I was at work. While I was getting in place before the picture, I fell off the step and this is the picture I got. I really like how it came out though!

I did end up bringing the skirt home, but the very cool suede belt is still for sale at Chicken Lays An Egg!
