I don't really have a whole lot to say today to be honest. It's my day off so I've really just been relaxing and enjoying the weather while listening to a couple of my favorite bands at the moment. I'd suggest you check out both Nest and Nothing.

The Devil Is In The Details

Shirt; The Laundry Room

Belt; Target

Leggings; Target

Shoes; Dolce Vita (c/o Marshall's)

Jewelry; All vintage gifts

My legs look so long and lovely in these photos. I swear I'm not at tall as I look (I'm a measly 5'1). Oh the illusion of angles. Mariaya took these photos, and she always does an impeccable job. Girl's got some real talent. I specifically told her, though, that she had to take a photo of me walking because I love the long, flowy back of this shirt. It's been a favorite of mine since I bought it. It's a bit baggy in my midsection, but that's nothing a cute little belt can't fix.

I've just been accepted into Phase Two, the advanced program that Paul Mitchell schools have. I'm guessing it will be pretty tiring, but totally worth it. Gotta make the most of it while I'm there. This entire year has gone by so fast. It's almost the new year, and I've only got three months of school left. We went over a bunch of the stuff we need to have/know/do for the state board test, and that's gotten my anxiety levels up already. I hate huge tests like that. I'll survive though, I suppose. One of my learning leaders has been suggesting I go for dean's list too. Whole hell of a lot more work, but I feel like it's pretty typical of me to go for something like that. I don't know. I'm not quite thinking clearly tonight.

I hope you all have started off your weeks well!

On Leaving

Crop top & Forest ring; The Laundry Room

Jeans; Azkara

Boots; Dolce Vita via Marshall's

Turquoise rings/necklace; Vintage

Arrowhead necklace; DIY'd by a friend

Snapped these real quick before heading out the door Friday night. These are the only pair of jeans that have ever fit me correctly. Sometimes it's quite the pain having a tiny waist and larger hips/backside. If it wasn't for it being hard to find pants that fit though, I wouldn't be complaining. This Forest ring from The Laundry Room is my absolute favorite! The Laundry Room is hands down my favorite boutique here in town. They stock a lot of rad brands like Unif, Motel, and Jeffrey Campbell for instance. How can you say no to that?! Also, these boots. I FINALLY have a pair of ankle boots that aren't black. I got them at Marshall's, all thanks to the gift card giveaway I won through Le Minimalist's blog. Thanks again for that girl!

Hope ya'll have had a rad weekend!

Wedge sneakers; Wanted via Marshall's

So.. I feel pretty ridiculous for having fried off my hair getting it to platinum and not even wanting to keep it. I've pretty much decided I'm not meant to be a blonde, ever. I am absolutely in love with my new cool copper hair color though! So much better than the blonde. Since I got it colored, trimmed up, and styled today, I had to hit up Megan to get some photos of it.  Plus, I could NOT WAIT to wear these new Wanted wedge sneakers I got! I won Le Minimalist's blog giveaway, in which I won a $100 Marshall's gift card. These sneakers are just one of the goodies I made away with. I am in love. The gorgeous chocolate brown color, and the wedge on this sneaker are perfection. Not to mention they're extremely comfy. 

PRAISE DA LAWD it is FINALLY starting to cool of here in California's central valley. I haven't worn this blazer in ages due to the unruly hot weather conditions, so I was unbelievably stoked to pull this baby out again. It's my absolute favorite. I love the cut, the shoulders, and the lovely dusty rose color. 

BRING ON AUTUMN!!!
