Urban Revisions

Urban Revisions tee (thanks Arlie!), Forever 21 skirt and shoes, Vintage
and thrifted necklaces and bracelets, Forever 21 cross ring

Random fact: the downstairs of my boyfriends house is covered with giant mirrors. Sometimes it can get to be a little much, having to stare at yourself while eating dinner perhaps, but for getting ready to go out it's actually pretty fabulous! I decided to take advantage of the giant mirror in his dining room for outfit pictures this weekend, and aside from the horrible quality of my camera, I think they came out kind of nice! Speaking of my camera, I desperately need a new one, preferably one that has a high ISO and is easy to use/understand - any suggestions?

This tee was gifted to me by the far-too-kind Arlie of Urban Revisions. I tried a while back to make one of these shredded tees of my own, and quit halfway through - it's sooo time consuming and painful on your fingers! So, priced at $38, these pre-shredded tees by Arlie are worth every penny! They come in black, white, gray, and lilac, and are completely reversible - you can wear the shredded part in the front or back! Arlie also makes other shredded tops, scarves, and jewelry, all at amazingly affordable prices. Be sure to check out Urban Revisions on Etsy! And keep checking back here - Arlie and I just *might* be working together to have a little giveaway on Breakfast at Saks in the next month or so! :)

Back in time

Tie-dye dress from festival vendor, Minnetonka sandals from TJ Maxx,
Vintage necklace and bracelet, Balenciaga bag

This past weekend, I found an abandoned bus and tried (unsuccessfully) to break into it, saw Smashmouth in a free outdoor concert and sang along with songs that brought me back to middle school, experienced Mike's Harder Lemonade for the first time (which is surprisingly delicious!), avoided food vendors advertising "Sidewalk Meat", and spent wayyyy too much time in various dive bars, as well as a few really nice ones. I'd consider it a weekend well done :)

Currently Craving: The long and short of it all

Stripe Maxi Skirt from Topshop; Pins and Needles Tap Short from Urban Outfitters;
Tribal Denim Shorts from Forever 21; Gryphon Mayan Miniskirt from Shopbop;
Nightcap Clothing Flamingo Skirt from Singer22; Soixante Neuf Ring from Singer22

Currently craving long skirts and short shorts. Preferably in pure white with ruffles or some type of colorful print. Oh, and I threw in that gorgeous Soixante Neuf ring because it reminds me of the one that was available at Forever 21 a few weeks ago that I missed out on... bummer! My shopping tip of the day is this: if you see something you love, and it's less than $5, ALWAYS buy it!! You can just skip your Starbucks fix the next day to keep your budget even :)
