Summertime Boots
Mon Repos When I think of summer, one item of clothing really comes to mind – sandals. Which means that that my favorite pair of boots could potentially be left in the dark for up to 4 months! But knowing me, I’ll definitely find a way to wear them. One of my favorite things to do is to pair my favorite motorcycle boots with a feminine skirt or floral dress. And although I’ve never really owned cowboy boots, I would imagine that…

I Only Date Superheroes
With the huge surge of comic book related movies lately, it’s only fitting that stores like Forever 21 would start carrying “trendy” comic book tops. I still can’t believe that we’re at a point where women’s comic book tops are hip! This “I only date superheroes” Avengers tank caught my eye and I knew it would make an interesting pairing with a skirt and some heels. On a side note, I’ve also been loving this quilted tote from Forever 21.…

Without going too crazy on the…

Minty Fresh
I’ve been seeing mint green all over the place – jeans, tops, and even toys. I picked up this Treeson toy at SDCC this year and it just happened to perfectly match this ’60s-ish blouse from H&M, especially since they’re both a little weird. I love the unexpected shape of this top – the wide arm openings, the offset lines on the front, and the open slit in the back. It’s definitely a little on the cropped side, but would…

DIY How to cut a T-shirt – Olympics Edition
For you girls who have ever picked up any swag T-shirts over the years, you know that it’s pretty rare that the shirt actually fits. Size small? Yeah, right. More like Large and XL! Along the same lines, how many times have you seen a shirt in the store and wish there was a girl version of it? Well, that’s how I felt about this throwback Olympics tee. And instead of wearing it as-is, I decided to girlify it. If you…
