Sunnies- Prada

It's been awhile! Sorry about that. I saw a metal tip collar blouse at Zara and fell in love. Just when I was about to bite the bullet and spend money I don't have on it, Urban got their version. I love it. Such a simple, unique detail. 

I took this picture outside of work. Locked my keys in my car again, so I decided to capture my outfit in my waiting for the spare keys to arrive.

I'm not sure what is on this graphic tee, but I LOVE, LOVE it. It reminds me of a watery version of Paris or an equal caliber city. It's so romantic and troubled at the same time.

This is what over-editing does to a photo. Sorry so blurry. I love playing with the effects on different photo editing apps. Sadly, this was the last "cool" day for a long time. I don't mind summer, but I am definitely counting the days until fall.

I absolutely love Snapseed for the iPhone. It makes my pictures look extra grungy and brooding. This picture was taken outside of a grocery store, but it looks like an amazing run-down building.

Necklace: House of Harlow 1960

Spiked 'Beatrix' flats: Sam Edelman

Round sunnies: Prada

It was a very lazy day of lots of sleep and no makeup. The giant Prada sunnies make up for a lack of mascara though. This look was tweeted and favorited by House of Harlow! Then they proceeded to start following me. Super awesome! Truly an honor, as I love HOH.

I'm still trying to figure out the proper way to take outfit photos. I always post on Instagram, and it won't accept photos that are too tall. Unfortunate, because I am much too tall and a square photo is sort of awkward with the blank space. Life is just so hard. 

This photo was taken outside of Anthropologie in Omaha. Beautiful store with an amazing yellow exterior that blends into my super pale arm. 

new look to try: milkmaid braids

One of my favorite beauty bloggers, Megan from Lips So Facto, posted a great hair tutorial on milkmaid braids for short hair. I tried it and was somewhat successful (I need some practice, obviously), but her videos are so helpful. Check out the blog, if you haven't already.

I will certainly try this again! It hides my ombre hair and makes it look like my hair is all black, which is naturally is. Everyone asked me all day if I darkened my hair (I didn't). Kind of cool for a different look!
