fashion news // cynthia rowley for roxy

In my dreams, I'm a SoCal surfer girl. I live in a beach bungalow. I awake to the sound of crashing waves and run (read: own) a little surf-inspired boutique/gallery just steps from the ocean. In real life, I live nowhere near the ocean, I awake to the sound of my snoring beagle and I run (read: am owned by) the corporate rat race. But a girl can dream. And a girl can chase her dreams, too, right? And until I finally catch them, I can at least dress the part of a SoCal surfer girl thanks to the surfer-girl-meets-girlie-girl Cynthia Rowley collection for Roxy.

PS- Once I do catch those dreams, I'll still awake to the sound of my snoring beagle because her foghorn of a snore will most definitely drown out even the loudest of ocean waves.

PPS- That ruffled, aqua dress? Consider it mine.

happy monday (sort of) and what I wore for saturday night out

Well. This weekend didn't exactly go as planned. It started out pleasantly, with Saturday morning spent shopping at Lancaster Central Market followed by a brief trip to the mall. Then on Saturday night, D and I had a tasty dinner with his parents at Gusto, a local Italian restaurant.

And then, it all came crashing down when I woke up in the middle of the night on Saturday with a nasty stomach bug.

So not fun, people, so not fun.

I'm still not feeling too great, but at least I got through the night last night without incident.

But anyway. Here's what I wore for Saturday night's dinner out. (I followed up this cute number with a lazy day on Sunday spent in my favorite lounge pants and Temple University hoodie- perfect attire for loafing on the couch, watching the Olympics and guzzling mango juice to rehydrate myself.)


Dress: Abercrombie & Fitch; Cardigan, scarf, leggings: H&M; Shoes: random; Earrings: Handmade by me

what i wore // outfits of the day

So I can't guarantee that all of my outfits are interesting and as a result, they will not make posting status on my blog. But in the event that I wear something post-worthy, I'll keep you...uh...posted? Ahem. Yeah. Here are two from this week:


Left: Dress, H&M; Cardigan, GO International from Target; Boots and tights, random
Right: Dress, Forever21; Turtleneck, American Eagle; Cardigan, Banana Republic; Boots, Anthropologie Winding Ruffle boots

PS- please do not judge my photography skillz by these oh-so-beautious pictures. Usually I just hastily snap these with my iPhone or with the timer on my little point-and-shoot. Mayhaps someday, I'll feel inspired to post better outfit of the day pictures, but then, that would also require finding time for photoshoots. So, uh...yeah.

Happy Friday! Have a great weekend!
