As Of Late...

This is a list of all the things I have been enjoying lately. With the warmer weather keeping us hot and lazy during the days, I have had time to take note of a few fashion trends I'm eager to get behind and a few I may just love all on my own. This isn't just about fashion, but everything I have been taking in and that makes summer feel just that much closer. Enjoy!

• Beautiful nails

I have been coveting this bright blue nail polish I've seen a girl in my class wearing. I have looked in a few Shoppers for it, but no luck just yet. I'm on the hunt!My friend just started wearing this adorable lavender nail polish that will be perfect for the summer.

• Lipstick

I absolutely love my MAC blood red lipstick (however, it really isn't blood red it's a dark pink and it's gorgeous!) This was a limited edition with them, but if you can still get your hands on one do it! It's such a great color.

• Gold Eyeshadow

I love gold for anything, but for eyeshadow I can't get enough. I have a few shades, I have to say finding a nice one is difficult, many are too yellow and some are too beige or bronzey... it takes some looking around. I think this looks really great in the summer, and especially with a sun kissed tan.

• Market Jewelry

I was recently visiting my parents and was looking through the market in front of their house and found so many beautiful pieces of jewelry! This just proves you don't need to pay an arm and a leg to get great looking pieces. Watch out for those special pieces and keep an eye on quality. I like to stick to wooden jewelry in the market mostly.

• Coca-cola

Well when do I not love pop? However, an ice cold coke on a hot day is really the best. I also love Stewart's Black Cherry Soda. Yummmmm.

• Flask

I recently got my first flask, an old one of my dad's he said I could have, and am in love with it! They aren't just for winter, I say break out the flask all year round! Packing a picnic? Bring the flask! Now if I could just find a garter to strap my flask to my leg with I'd be all set...

• Band tees

Yeah, I know... Kristen Stewart...
But the focus is on her shirt, a band tee of The Clash ! I find it hard to find band tees for girls of too many different bands (I can't count the number of Ramones and Blondie shirts I've seen and have owned, and they're awesome bands...but you only need so many of them). I recently got a sewing machine so I plan on taking in some of the guy's band tees I've acquired over the years and making them fit me a little better.

• Tie Dye

I've been trying to plan a day to tie dye with some girlfriends, because not only is this such an easy way to update an old tee (or pretty much any article of clothing) it's so fun to get together with some friends and do. (I'll bring the flask of course!)

• Jean Jacket

I've always loved jean jackets, and I have a jean vest that I had been searching for for what felt like forever. Jean jackets seem to be bigger this year though, at least for spring. I was recently in Banana Republic (they have a petites section) and I found a short, dark denim jacket and it fit like a glove, plus it was 60% off, so I clearly bought it! I do like the acid wash, lived in look on occasion, but I prefer to stay with the darker denim.

• Patterned Pants

These floral pair remind me of a pair I saw at H&M and was dying to buy but I didn't really have the cash and I still don't have the legs for.


This zebra pair is my favorite, I've seen a few pairs that I've been keeping an eye on for when my bank account starts to flow (or well at least trickles..) I'd love to pair either the floral or the zebra with a band tee, fur vest and an updo. It could be fabulous or fabulously trashy, I haven't decided.

• Silver ankle boots

I'm pretty sure this infatuation started the other night when a few girlfriends and I watched Clueless and there's a scene with Brittany Murphy's character wearing silver Docs. I would settle for knock offs, though this one would be ideal.

• Summer soundtrack

Every season needs one! Lately I've been going back to The Beach Boys and Otis Redding. The Beach Boys scream summer and feel good tunes, so I suggest cranking them up while getting ready in the mornings.
