Oh boy! You all probably forgot about me by now! I'm so sorry I haven't updated in about a month (or two?!) I've been really busy with working and doing summer things. (I've been to so many day trips this summer including Wild Wood, NJ and the waterpark here in Scranton!) Also, since I've been working, and since it has been brutally hot lately, I haven't been dressing up as much or taking pictures of my outfits when I do dress up! Also, I feel like I've been in a bit of a rut because I just am so totally done with summer clothes. Bring on FALL! I've saved all my money from work this summer and I'm going to go on a huge shopping spree in 2 weeks with Dean! Im so excited! I'll probably make a haul video for you all to see! I'm just counting down the days until I can go fall shopping and WEAR my new fall clothes.

I've been really inspired by not only 1950's rockabilly fashion, but the working women of the 1940's. Here's some recent inspiration I've had via Hel-looks and Google!

I can't wait for the fall so I can change it up a bit!

I'm not sure what else to say for now... my life has been pretty boring lately!
I'll leave you with a little Django for today!
Have a great rest of the week, everyone!

One thing I'm good at-- TACOS!

I'm obsessed with making delicious blackened chicken tacos. Recipe courtesy of my boyfriend's brain, but I elaborated on it! The cilantro really makes them fresh!

I'll share the recipe (if my boyfriend lets me... it is becoming a secret recipe) when/if I write it down! Whenever I make them I don't use any measurements for the spices, I just eyeball it, but that's not a good way to write down a recipe. WHATEVER!

Hey ya'll!! How is everyone doing? Great, I hope! I'm doing pretty well over here back in SCRANTON! It feels so good to be back home. I have a lot of really fun things planned this summer that will hopefully happen soon! These include seeing Girl Talk with my sister, going to Wildwood NJ with Dean, the renaissance faire, possibly Otakon if our finances permit and tons of coffee, pizza and thrifting with my old high school buddies! I really can't wait. I usually have a pretty lame summer but I am determined to have a better time this year. I will miss Dean so much since he will still be living in Philly for the rest of the year, but at least he will move closer in December! I just have to wait until then! I'll visit him/he will visit me in the meantime!

I'm currently looking for a new job, today I had an interview at FYE! I also have another interview at a different FYE on Friday! (It seems that FYE is the only place that wants to hire me!) (And assuming not everyone who reads this blog is familiar, FYE is just a CD/DVD store. They also sell a lot of anime and Justine Bieber things, haha.) Hopefully someone will call me back soon! I think my interview went pretty well today. Im crossing my fingers! Anyway, here is what I wore today!

(BTW, forgive the mess that is my room at the moment. I just moved back home from school yesterday and I'm still trying to get my life back in order!)

Denim Jacket - GAP
Shirt - American Apparel
Skirt - American Apparel
Belt - Urban Outfitters
Shoes - Urban Outfitters
Pin - Found in my house

A very 'American' look today, huh?

I also met my good friend from high school Nick for a little Salvation Army fun today! Even though it was 50% off all tickets today, I still only ended up getting two skirts since I'm REALLY low on money. Regardless they are great skirts! One needs to be hemmed, and the other just needs to be fixed up slightly which I will have plenty of time to do tomorrow. Then later in the day I went to the Shoppes at Montage with my sister! I had a gift card leftover from Christmas that my dad gave me, so I bought some really nice sandals from DSW. I wanted something comfortable, slip resistant, nothing between my toes (thongless), sturdy and of course nice looking! I'm really tired of spending money on shoes that aren't comfortable/versatile enough for everyday errands! I'm really glad I got the ones I did. They are not typically something I would go for since they are quite modest, but I think they are a great choice for the hot weather and running around doing fun stuff! I will totally post pictures of my skirts and my shoes tomorrow!

Since school is over and I'm jobless currently, I will have a lot of time to devote to this blog. Stay tuned!

By the way, I'm going to make HOMEMADE SOAP over the summer with my sister! How cool is that?! I'll keep you posted!

Do you like my Curacao shirt? Thanks, Grandma!!!! <3

Hi guys! It has been a long time since I've really posted any outfits or anything interesting. Now that classes are over and I just have to worry about a couple of critiques and a final, I have way more time to dress nice and to take pictures! Plus, the weather has been great, although my sinuses and allergies don't think so. Here is an outfit I wore Monday... It was over 80 degrees that day and I got a pretty bad sunburn on my shoulders! (Which is shaping up to be a lovely farmer's tan by now!)

(My lovely boyfriend, Dean!)

May 10th I get to go back home to Scranton which means I will probably be posting outfits every couple days or so since I can set up my tripod!

I'm also planning to setting up an Etsy store this summer! I tried the Etsy thing a while ago for my artwork but I lost interest very quickly. I think I'm going to sell some DIY's, thrift finds, as well as crocheted pieces, quilts, and other cute little things I can make! I'm really over ~art~ right now and I just want to have some fun making useful stuff! I'll let you all know when I set that up!

By the way, have you checked out my twitter?

I'm sorry I haven't been posting any outfits lately... I've just been in a really bad fashion rut due to this weird weather. Not quite winter, not quite spring. I did get a lot of really great things recently! I did a bit of shopping for the spring and summer months but have yet to wear anything.

I went for sushi with Dean and his friends Friday night! The weather permitted me to wear my new American Apparel skirt that I am totally in love with. I wish my hair was decent enough that day for me to take some outfit pictures. But on the bright side, the shrimp tempura roll I had was awesome!

I'm really into denim and big bustly midlength skirts this season. Its that Americana / Rockabilly look that I've always loved coming out! Plenty of stripes, polka dots and leopard print to go around. And, of course, I got my self a pair of Bass Saddle shoes!



I'm really excited to wear everything this summer! I just hope the weather changes soon so I can enjoy my new clothes!

I'm also really excited to go to Cracker Barrel and get french toast with Dean over the summer.

Dean is probably also moving to Scranton at the end of the Summer to be with me! I can't wait! A huge step in our relationship but I think we are ready. :)

I'm definitely going to dye myself a denim jacket or denim vest this summer... this hot pink jacket is amazing!
